Then, I started seeing hope. Ingram is the better all-around player, potentially, so maybe this pushes Johnson to the bench. Yes, that sounds wonderful. Johnson is a mentor, a locker room leader and he's there in a pinch if Ingram or Shaun Phillips get hurt. He's the 2012 version of Travis LaBoy and Ingram is the 2012 version of Larry English (with lss injuries). This could work!
