Ingram and Kamara are ranked 4th and 8th lowest in time behind the line of scrimmage (Next Gen), while Football Outsiders shows that the line is allowing the fewest stuffs in the league. This seems to be what we scheme and coach. Fire up to the line and find the crease.
But, Football Outsiders also has the line ranked 17th in second level rushing, and 24th in open field rushing. This is probably because Ingram and Kamara see the 9th and 28th most 8 man boxes. Teams don’t respect the pass when Ingram is in. They respect it more when Kamara is in, but both have similar averages.
I don’t really know if this is a problem with scheme or execution. My eyes tell me it’s execution watching the games. Kamara doesn’t look the same. He’s brought down much more easily than last year. He doesn’t seem to have the same power or the same elusiveness. It could be scheme or a little of both.
This is it, last year all I can remember is him bouncing off of players and breaking some pretty hard tackles. As its been said already, to the eye test he looks like he has lost some of his explosion which would in most cases suggest he is carrying some sort of injury
