What was ingrams problem?

According to what I've read, Cooks cry babied and look at all the passes thrown to him since. Ingram will get every hand off now!!

I liked what I saw from Mark Ingram and quite frankly wonder why it took so long for him to get upset. Ingram gets taken off the field very often come TD time after doing all the dirty work. Shoot, my wife even commented on that and she doesn't watch but a quarter of the games. He doesn't get used enough, and yesterday he clearly out ran Hightower.

To suggest Hightower is better than Ingram is lunacy.

My take on Hightower scoring is, it was against his old team so let him stick it to them on the board. Ingram should have been cheering him on. Although I enjoy a good fiery fit now and then. lol

I could care less about him throwing a tantrum on the sidelines, what bugs me is when he throws the ball forward after a run, or spikes it in frustration when he gets tackled, and then gets a "delay of game" penalty slapped on the team...this has happened with him numerous times the past couple years and shows the real problem with him. Love the passion for the game, but needs to keep his head on him....

Ingram did run to Hightower and high five him in the middle of his rage.

Yeah I saw that too, I'm sure they all got each other. Was funny seeing all the people trying to cool him down, or toss on some fuel.

I think it is something that has been building all year. It wouldn't surprise me if he wants to leave to go to a team that would use him more.

He is avg 5.1 yds a carry, 3rd in the league. Yet he is 20th in attempts, and only has 3 TD.

I love Ingram but we can't let decisiveness prevail in the locker room. Hightower won't last long enough to train another back in this system most likely. He is a little older. However, with Ingram running well we may be able to get value for a trade......not that I want to trade our best back. But at the same time we need a strong locker room with this young team. If it comes down to it trade Ingram and Cooks. I'm tired of watching Payton force him the ball.

Good teams don't do this stuff. Blount could have scored a couple more times yesterday. Don't see him getting angry at all. They didn't even use Blount most of the game and Denver is not that stout against the run.
