Ingram benched [OLD THREAD BUMPED]

I think Ingram is a good player, he's a great blocker in Pass Pro and any play in the playbook can be run with him in the game, buuuuuuuut........

The guy lacks vision and has ABSOLUTELY NO BURST!!! He is just no threat when he hits the hole and gets to the second level, which would be ok if he had great vision and always got 5-7 yds when he touched the ball, but unfortunately he gets bottled up at the line more often than not.

I think there is a place for him in the rotation if he can hold onto the ball, but he should definitely not be getting the lion's share of the carries. It doesn't bode well for him that Lasco, a much cheaper option, has a similar or better skillset and is a phenomenal blocker as a rookie.
Definitely time to start rotating Lasco in more and more situations. Ingram is in his 6th season. He has well reached his plateau and we need more spark in the run game.

Let's hope the coach is concerned more with results and W's than managing Ingram's confidence and starts the transition. It'll be interesting because they've always gone out of their way to keep Ingram as the #1 back and pay him not an insignificant salary through 2017.
