Speaking of Ingram, he sidestepped a question about whether Brandon Jacobs is number one going into camp. “In all fairness you have to start over. They all have something to give; they all contributed in their own way. You’re looking at for the most part that they are all competing for the same job, starting positions as well as the other positions where they could help us. The game plan in trying to figure out what they can do for us depends on who we are playing, and as Kevin [Gilbride] said, whoever has the hot hand and who is ready to play. That’s what gives these guys motivation, they can’t wait to get on the field and get an opportunity to play. We’re really not worried about who starts, because the opportunities will rise, it’s going to happen and we’re going to try and flow with who we play and keep a good balance as far as who is coming on the field and try to keep people fresh as best we can.”

As if that’s not enough of a blow to Jacobs’ campaign for a new contract (which is apparently not on the horizon), when Ingram was asked if the team planned to use the running back by committee approach again this year, he said, “Definitely. We’re going to try and have a committee as best we can, try to keep people healthy, and the other teams off balance.”

And as far as TE goes, no way, Jacobs has stone hands, Tony if you're reading this I'm sorry but it's true, the dude can't catch.
