Ingram's big night analyzed
NEW ORLEANS Mark Ingram stood at his locker Sunday night, his gold chain draped over his traps and underneath a black T shirt and talked about his breakthrough night.So, forgive him for culling a ticky tack delay of game penalty for spinning the ball in an emotional outburst after his initial big run of the night, a 13 yarder at left tackle.Not that his teammates are going to hold that against him.was well deserved after what he'd gone through earlier this season, fellow running back Pierre Thomas said. needed to get that out. . I believe it was all frustration what he was going through, and he was getting it all out of his system, just getting himself hyped, like, 'Ok, let's get back to being Mark Ingram,' who he is, the style of runner he is, and everybody knows how he can run.I believe that was a release point. He needed to get it out of his system. I think everybody else recognized that. play was unlike anything we seen in Ingram short time in New Orleans. For the first time in a long time, he looked like the player who won the Heisman Trophy and coaxed the Saints into moving up in the draft to grab him.The flow of the play went to the right but Ingram felt the opening happen to his left and he bounced it that way. There was no hesitation in his step and, 13 yards down the field, it took about seven players to finally bring him down.It was plays like that that helped Ingram finish with a career best 145 yards and a staggering 10.4 yards per carry average."You saw a player that ran hard and had holes and did a lot of the things that I'm sure he felt he could do, and he got the right opportunity and the right number of touches, Payton said. He played exceptionally well."feel like I always have something to prove, every time I step foot on that field I play with a chip on my shoulder, Ingram said. I do whatever I can to help our team win games. That what I work for every single game. has spent much of his time battling just about everything in New Orleans, whether it the fans, injuries or his place on the depth chart.And a week ago, he had to watch as Chris Ivory, the back many fans wanted to stick around instead of Ingram, ran for 139 yards and chewed up the Saints defense. Meanwhile, Ingram ran for 19 yards on four carries and New Orleans ran the ball only 13 times in a 26 20 loss.It didn help that on the first series, he dropped a catchable pass and fans booed. Incessantly, you might say.boos don bother me, Ingram said. know, what the fans think really doesn bother me, really doesn affect me. I know what I can do. I know what type of player I am. How hard I work every single day, week in and week out, preparing for the games.stuff doesn affect texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Randy-Bullock-Jersey.html me at all because at the end of 12th Fan Womens Jersey the day all that matters is what in this locker room, what in this organization and what they know is going on. is Plays from Sunday, our weekly breakdown of some big plays that affected the Saints game. There were too many to choose from this week so we shortened to four plays three Ingram runs and a big Corey White play.Ingram Break Out Saints ball, First and 10 at the Dallas 35, 9:03 to go First Quarter: The Saints set up in a basic setup five linemen, a tight end to the left, two receivers and two running backs. Ingram lined up behind fullback Jed Collins with Marques Colston split wide right and Kenny Stills wide left.Watson motioned to the right and the Cowboys brought up two defenders to defend the right side of New Orleans line. At the snap, the entire flow of the Saints offense goes to the right and Ingram takes the handoff, following Collins, his lead blocker, to the B gap between the right guard and tackle.Dallas has the entire right side bottled up and if Ingram doesn freelance, feeling a backside opening, the play gains only one or two yards. But the young running back catches the wide open field away from the flow and cuts back, no hesitation seen.He runs right by Dallas linebacker Ernie Sims, who by the time he turns around, is nearly two yards behind Ingram.Stills is blocking cornerback Orlando Scandrick, but isn fully http://www.texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Garrett-Graham-Jersey.html engaged after having jogged off the line at the snap. While safety Jeff Heath dives at Ingram slowing him down, it Scandrick presence that halts the play ultimately. Ingram, of course, could have chosen to run at Heath, but tries to cut outside.Nonetheless, it takes nearly seven Cowboys to finally bring Ingram down and after he gets up, he violently spins the ball on the ground, his head down, hands pumping toward his face in an emotional outburst. The spin drew Earl Thomas III Jersey a delay of game penalty, ticky tack if you ask me, but the emotion was well deserved.just play with a lot of passion, man, Ingram said. I was frustrated with myself because I thought I should gotten more out of the run than I did. And I hate to hurt the team. But I play with a lot of passion. ball, First and 10 at the New Orleans 32, 10:13 to go Third Quarter:The Saints lined up in the same formation with the same personnel as Ingram first big run. Stills was wide left, Colston was wide right and Watson motioned from the left side of the line to the right.This time, however, Ingram doesn need to bounce the play to the backside. The blocking up front is phenomenal.It starts with right tackle Zach Strief handling end George Selvie, right guard Jahri Evans chip blocking Cowboys defensive tackle Drake Nevis before engaging with linebacker Bruce Carter on the second level, Collins taking out safety Barry 12th Fan Authentic Jersey Church and Watson holding off Scandrick.The hole was enormous. Ingram wasn touched for 25 yards as the entire Cowboys defense was reaching out, Earl Thomas III Authentic Jersey lunging to find a way to stop him.
