MI active. Let the hating begin

TheOak · 10-11-2013, 08:58 AM

Limited practice on Wednesday the first week coming off an injury, and being active on the roster doesn't necessarily mean he will see much playing time if any.

We should reserve the panic or celebration after we see who is inactive.

Here is something to ponder. Perhaps Ingram is just an average back. Nothing more and nothing less. An average back that ran behind a powerhouse line in Alabama that gave him huge holes to run through. It wouldn't be the first time that someone looked great playing on a powerhouse SEC team then got to the NFL and was average.

The adverse is also true some times... A player plays on an average college team then ends on on the Saints and Drew Brees makes them look like they should have been drafted by someone.

I don't think Ingram's troubles are ALL Mark Ingram.
All the guys are struggling to get back to the line of scrimmage.
We are averaging like 77 and propping it up with the short passing game.
We have to do better up front and spread the field on 3rd/4th and short.
Payton keeps talking about 30/30 but I haven't seen the commitment yet.
They don't even look like they believe in running the ball.
A little success can change all of that so please don't stop trying to work it out.
I'm glad he's back. It's the only way he will get better and help us when we need him.

Google "Lord, please find me one, just one good stat so that I can appreciate Mark Ingram".

"Search produces NO results"
