Conversion From Man to Zone Blocking Benefits Mark Ingram, Saints Offense

So Alabama-alum running backs are only productive in zone blocking schemes?!?

What happened when the Alabama-alum running back went from Cleveland to Indy?!? if they're similar systems, why did he struggle to transition/produce in Indy?!?

Makes me wonder if it's just hard for some to play when carrying that many bags of cash around with them. There was a reason Cleveland let him go...

As he stated, both Cleveland and Indy do not run ZBS.

The only RB from Bama that went to a ZBS was Eddie Lacy, who has looked very good.

In fact, I would have guessed the worst of the Bama 3 would have been Lacy, then Ingram with Richardson being the cream of the crop. I got it exactly backwards, so far.
