Only thing I worry about when looking at Ingram are his arms. Guy has great tape and a strong motor, I just worry that in the NFL his natural ability wont be enough to beat good LT's. I wouldn't have a problem taking him though, if Hurney and Rivera believe he's the guy I trust their judgement.

With as athletic as he is and versatile you wouldn't want to line him up in one position. As you said he could cause mismatches at several positions depending on what set we were in. Just as Newton is the new breed at QB, Ingram could do the same in a hybrid scheme like we run. If we are going to blitz from the Sam position 50% of the time, who better to do it than Ingram. I don't know if we will be that creative or will opt for a more traditional approach like bringing in Coples or Cox, but he surely does offer some unique skills. I read that he was working out with Von Miller and Miller didn't believe Ingram could do a backflip from a standing stationary position. Apparently was very impressed when Ingram just stood there and did it for him. He is an amazing athlete.

From what I have read that is a bigger concern with O linemen than defensive linemen since O linemen have to read and react while D linemen attack.

Yeah, if you have short arms at O-line you might as well play guard, ex. Robert Gallery. I just worry about Ingram being an easy target to get latched onto, given, 31" arms aren't bad.

Whoa, coples can play dt, de, and stand up, coples is the most versatile d-line player in the draft, with the most potential, cuz he has doubters to disprove, and he has the ability to do it, and id rather hav a player with something to prove, like jenkins jeffreys, gilmore, zach brown...

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
