The Minnesota Vikings have not had a great offensive line for the better part of a decade. This group might change all of that.
Yes, the offensive line is now good. Really good in fact.
If you talk to fans, you won’t get that sentiment and it makes sense. Offensive line is a position that lives off of reputation because it’s harder to understand the nuance of their play is difficult to see on the broadcast.
When you go and look at the all-22 film, you can see that the Vikings unit is playing well. Yes, that includes Ed Ingram.
Despite what you see on Twitter, Ed Ingram is playing well this season. The pressure numbers are relatively high at 17, but his consistency play-to-play in pass blocking is improving. He currently ranks 18th out of 78 qualifying guards per Pro Football Focus, including a run-blocking grade of 74.8.
