Ingram didn't lose the game for us today and having Ivory would not have won it for us either.

Transparent scapegoating.

Agreed. Team loss. Unless Ingram plays DT.

He's not a bruiser. Again, he even said this when he was drafted. He's no Deuce. Never going to be that and I knew it when we drafted him. I did however think he would be more involved in the passing game and he is not. I honestly don't understand it. He made some great catches in PS...

Is this the falcons board? What the hell is happening on here?

I know he's not a bruiser, and I was one of those who criticized drafting him from the start, so this isn't just a knee jerk reaction. But they have advertized him as a bruiser and tried to make him the short yardage grinder, with zero success. And yeah, they also said he'd be great for play action, yet he might have 10 catches for his career.

I'm not sure what the actual number is, but I know he's been a non factor in the passing game as you said.

Ok... I see that there was a comparison made between the two guys, but I don't think it was about who would have won the game.

Ivory was always a better player. But I don't miss him that much, considering Khiry Robinson seems like a very similar player and perhaps more explosive. The coaches just don't seem willing to trust him for whatever reason.

I dont really care. Its 6 one way half a dozen the other. Both situations are less than ideal. I just want a line that several different backs can gain yards behind.

It ain't the RB. It's the o-line.
