re: Peterson says he's never played on a team that they didn't stack the box against him.

We'll just have to wait and see what Peterson has left. I don't think they will work him too much, early.

I think the understood plan is to ease him into games later, after Ingram has had a chance to get going some. That way, you can close the game with Peterson in the 4th quarter.

In the playoffs, you might see full AP and the others rotate in and out.

But that's just a guess on my part.

Ingram is not mediocre

What was he second in yards per carry?

YPC is an extremely overrated stat for judging the effectiveness of a RB since its so heavily dependent on the OL. Yards after contact is a better measurement. He may be really high in that stat, Im not sure. If he is then I take back my criticism of him but based on the eye test I just dont see him as an especially powerful or shifty runner. Like I said, I dont think hes terrible I just think hes an AVERAGE runner. Nothing wrong with being a "C" student.

Also pretty solid at catching the ball out of the backfield.

Of course. That and his pass prot and ball prot is pretty stout. Both reasons why I think he stays on the field when better RUNNING backs have been on the roster. I never said I think hes weak in those areas.

Give me a list of the nfl RB's you'd take over Ingram.

I dont keep up with other NFL teams anymore so this list might not reflect current trends...
