I'm not going to put Ingram's numbers or his health on trial because the numbers are there (they are good) and he can't really help when and if he gets hurt.
I will put his running style on trial, though. Even though he's a hard runner, he's an easy tackle. So many times I've thought there should have been more to one of his runs, but he runs right into a defender or gets tripped. How does a guy that stocky get tripped? He's really stout but he goes down easy. I don't think he's soft, I just think he doesn't have a great feel for finishing his runs. It's what set Pierre Thomas apart, IMO. Thomas ALWAYS finished a run. And he wasn't the fastest, he wasn't the quickest, but he had this ability to get yards where there weren't any.

He gets a lot of yards after contact in his career. Hell, I remember at one point a few years ago, he had more yards after contact than yards

Yea, PT led the NFL in broken tackle % and elusive % for a few years. He was amazing at it
