For the poster worried about transition to DE, he played mostly on the line in college. He is extremely versatile.
    Isn't DE at this level his more natural position anyway?

        I don't know if you can say it is more natural. Ingram developed into a pretty good LB. He took his time developing, but he was solid in all aspects of his game.

        I think he will be more productive rushing the passer at DE. Last year we dropped ingram into coverage a lot when Bosa was playing and it hurt Ingram's numbers. We also rushed him inside fair bit too. Those might be good moves for us as a D< but they aren't going to pad his sack numbers. Now Ingram will rush the QB most of the time, and those are the impact plays. He will still drop in some zone blitzes and zone dog's, but mostly he will line up wide on the weak side and rush the QB.

        If Attaochu or one of the newer guys develops as an edge guy, we may see Ingram slide inside on passing downs still. Ingram is still a solid inside rusher and we need the inside push. BUt the big contract means that they will be forced to rush him off the edge a lot, which is not a bad thing.

          Bradley said we are in nickel 70% of the time and last year Ingram was dropping back a ton. He said that wont happen this year. I expect Ingram's numbers to be very solid. 26-30 sacks between he and Bosa isnt out of the question.

            I like the Luiget, , Mebane Bosa, and Ingram combination. I think it could be good. Depending on how the secondary does it could be a very good line. The secondary is always my concern.

              I think this is what I had in my head, that he's more of a move-forward kinda guy even if he has learned how to drop back pretty well. Also will probably limit his responsibilities, make him more effective as a result. My hope anyway. I mean I could see him getting more sacks than Bosa opposite him, as teams will likely double Bosa more than Ingram. Could easily be Ingram's most effective season for us (again, hopeful..).

                Don't look now but Ingram leads the NFL in sacks with 5.5 after 3 games. He has been a major disruptive force so far this season, one of our few bright spots.

                I knew he had it in him. It just took the right coach and right scheme for it to happpen.
                Now, if you excuse me, I have some Charger memories to suppress.

                  Doesn't hurt having Joey Bosa on the other side either.
                  In his first 49 games, he totalled 18.5 sacks. In the 15 games with Bosa, he's collected 11.5( career total of 30)

                He does have the benefit of teams having to account for Bosa. But this is what we expected when he was first drafted. I'm glad that he's now in his 'right place', and doesn't fizzle like Donald Butler after he got paid.

                    Bosa is drawing a lot of attention, but is still somewhat productive. He got 1/2 a sack and almost stripped Smith on a couple of plays. He is also a good run defender.

                    It isn't going to be too long before teams decide that Ingram is too good and they start to give him more attention.

                    Also lost on most people is McCain is very quietly putting together a pretty decent year.

                    We are tied for 2nd in the league with 11 sacks, which is not bad considering. Most of the other teams have had a lead for part or most of their season (we have been playing from behind).

                      If i had just awoke from a coma...and someone told me McCain was our 2nd rounder...i would say it looks like a good draft pick. Telesco deserves some props for getting this guy. What he does before games with kids is quickly making him a fan favorite.
