Ivory should be the one playing for his job

Funny, people were saying Powell is a terrible running back but he had the same problem. Why is it not Ivory's fault but it's Powell's fault?

 

It's not like anyone else has been finding holes behind the line either, it's not just an Ivory issue. Ridley I can't remember when he wasn't hit behind the line of scrimmage.

 

I didn't say anything about Powell though. I don't know what other people are saying, I know what I'm saying; and what I'm saying is Ivory fights hard for every yard and it's crazy to say he doesn't deserve to start/get snaps.

 

Maybe it's just me but I'm seeing some more holes than our backs are. Then again I'm not out there. But the offensive line doesn't look like it's been that bad. If Ivory doesn't have the hole the play is designed to he automatically bounces outside whether it's there or not.

Vision is vastly underrated for runningbacks by many people. It's what made Curtis Martin a hall of fame runner. The ability to find the holes in a split second is a very unique ability that cannot be measured other than watching game tape.

 

Hate to bump this ridiculous thread back to the top, but how awesome was that amazing "beast quake" run by Ivory today!

Anybody who thinks Ivory is the problem or a problem is crazy. He is having a very good season and makes the most of every carry.

 

Looked like a damn Peterbuilt to me on that run..

 

He might have missed a few holes - and his patience might be biting him a little bit, but you have to admit he's getting hit in the backfield way too much. It seems that the opposing defenses are wise to our run strategy, we're not surprising them, they're loading the box and getting into the backfield way too fast, and far too often. That's why his production has dropped.

 

I think it is part injury and mostly O line. I have not seen a lot of holes for him to run through. He has been getting hit in the backfield a lot of the time

 

we should throw half the time on first down like the rest of civilization

 

I mean... he wasnt getting the ball out of shot gun formation..fitz was finally back under center which allows Ivory to do what he does.. and that's what he did. simple.
