And for his career he's now at 4.1 YPC. While thats not great, it isn't bad.

I cant think of a more perfect stage to settle this than 49ers, Falcons, Seahawks, Panthers, Rams, Panthers, Bucs.

Which games is he going to get 80+ yards and over 4.1 YPC in? How many goal line punches will he get? How many short yardage 1st downs can we expect?

Its easy to spin partial stats... Put the faith on the line and predict.

Prediction...
If he's hit 3 yards behind the line, he won't gain much.
If the O-line opens up decent holes for him, he'll play well.

Last time I called a 100+ yard game we had it, and I was called out and spit roasted. Ive never come across people so angry about success.

Lol we'll be fine ... If we can run even half as good we'll raise a few more Lombardi trophies before Drew hangs em up ... If we do it right , we should be a dynasty ... All we've ever been missing was a defense and a running game and still won one without either ...

Those teams allow, on average....

49ers 3.9 y/a
falcons 4.6 y/a
Seattle 4.2 y/a
Panthers 3.8 y/a
Rams 4.2 y/a
Bucs 3.8 y/a

The individual games can skew numbers e.g.. were the Saints ahead and the other teams were expecting the run... were rushes up the middle being used to set up play action or screens to the flat...etc...etc...

But you'd think he and the other running backs could be close to those numbers overall.

I'm just glad to see some signs of life with Ingram. I'm hopeful he can continue to run well but at the same time, I'm not holding my breathe. I would love to have 3 effective backs going into the stretch run and into the playoffs. This is a vital point in his career as a New Orleans Saint and will play a big part on whether or not he'll be here in the future. I wish him the best.

ok so he was fired up against a banged up defense.

test comes this week for him sure but the OL first and for most
