A lot of NFL teams are now. It is where the league is going.

That does not change the fact of Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles, and Chris Ivory all having more success on the ground in 2012 when it comes to yards per carry, and the same 3 in 2011. Mark Ingram is just a bad NFL running back. There is no way around it. Admitting this will not take away any of the great things he did while in attendance at Alabama.

And you also disregarded the parts where they have had plenty of success rushing the ball. Both individually and as a team. Yet he's the only one struggling. Spent two valuable picks on him and he can only get pedestrian numbers. Can't throw him the ball because he sucks in that aspect.

The main problem I have with him is disinterest. Last year he goes in the flat on a pass play, trips without anyone around him, and then takes forever to get up, all while he's wide open and the ball goes over his head. Slowly he gets up and just laughs about it. While he could have had an easy TD in the redzone that could have won the game.

Dude had like 3 seconds to get up and was only 7-8 yards from the endzone. Brees even threw it softly so he had time to get up, instead of darting the ball in there.
