Is it time to let Ingram develop in practice against the #1 D and give Brandel a shot at RG?  He has looked good in preseason and not bad in limited play.

Should we bring in a K for a workout?

Did DHunt take too many inside moves and allow Murray out of the pocket too much.  I seem to remember 2 of those at least.

Not nitpicking at all. Legit questions. My answers would be: 1– let’s  let Ingram continue to play for the time being and see how much he develops. 2– bring in Matthew Wright and Ryan Santoso for a tryout. 3– I can’t answer what’s up with Hunter, but is standing up,rather than putting a hand on the ground such a major adjustment?  I’m not trying to be snide, I still think he is a terrific DE but something seems off.

Its possible Hunter hasn’t come back from 2 seasons of injuries. It happens all the time. Id guess we wont see him next year at the salary figure hes at.

Ingram was awful today but he is a rookie and that is going to happen sometimes. It sucks but it is what it is. I really wonder about Donatell's defensive plan at times.

Ingram has not played well all year, too many penalties and breakdowns at key times.  I don't think we have anything to lose by giving someone else a shot, couldn't play any worse.  Definitely need to bring another kicker in, can't keep missing extra points and just no chance at any FG over 50.

It's concerning. Might need to be replaced.

The thing is...  We trot Joseph out for a 55+ yard FG (no gimme), it's gets blocked and then it feels like he misses an XP after that.  Like it got in his head a little...

Such a strange thing with Ingram. All the scouting reports said he was terrific in pass pro, but needed work run blocking. I think he was the highest graded pass blocker in the SEC last year. He comes to the NFL and right away is a terrific run blocker (PFF 73) but terrible in pass pro (PFF 39). 

The problem with a weakness on the line is that it only gets worse. It's like blood in the water. Teams see it and attack it.

J J Watt has been known to make plays against many great NFL linemen.  Ingram is still a rookie and still is developing.  He's still better than anything we had at RG last season.
