I'm pretty sure I was playing him at Sam because I had Burnett locking down the Will and I felt like Ingram's pass-rush abilities (while not reflected in sacks, he had a lot of hurries) would play better as a Sam.
He had zero 'tracked' stats. I don't know if he got any pressures because we don't list them. I don't know if he got many tackles - again, not tracked.
But in the final 4-5 games (I don't recall exactly when I inserted him), Smith had 2 sacks and 2 picks. One of his sacks was a safety. One of his picks was housed. He also forced a fumble in there.
He made another key play or two in the playoffs. The guy was an absolute killing machine.
Meanwhile every available metric suggested that Ingram should've been better. That's why I'm hopeful that CD and Rainman continue to develop the 'grading' system so we have a better idea of exactly what's going on in these games. It's why I'm going to keep pushing the idea of a simulation only going through halftime before we get to 're-set' and play the 2nd half; I want to be able to make an adjustment in the 2nd half to try to learn these things (and it doubles the game action).
