Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

This is Chris Ivory's third season as a New Orleans running back, yet it seems like he keeps having to reintroduce himself to Saints Nation.

Overlooked by the Saints? WTF??? He was a fumble machine at practice and struggled to pick up pass protections. Joe Vitt himself said he'd gotten much better in pass protection, which earned him a shot on the field.

I guess everyone forgets 3 weeks ago when trade rumors were floating around the team stated "Chris Ivory ain't going anywhere".

Overlooked my ass.

For an undrafted free- agent, he's not half bad. Maybe the powers to be can finally give him a fair deal to showcase what he truely is. A true runner that has speed, power, vision and a heart.

Any coach in his right mind would never cut Ivory loose at 100%, in practice, on his defense. You'd be risking injury to the likes of Harper, Jenkins and such.

However, the defensive players are free to strip the football at 100% in practice. Any player close enough to strip a football from Ivory is probably laying on his back at some point during the stripping process. He's COMBATIVE. LOL

Nonsense

Re: Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

I'm happy with the way both have been playing. Ivory was clearly the spark that got things going, though.

Re: Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

I think Ivory's "showings" have sparked Ingram a little bit. Ingram seems to now run like a bulldozer. Not big numbers yet from Ingram but I think this is the "push" he needs.

Re: Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

I must say that both Ivory and Ingram have been much much better this year. With Ingram it is HOW he's run the ball this year; physical, decisive, explosive. We didn't see that last year. With Ivory, we knew he was a good runner, but he was such a fumble machine that you couldn't count on him not to cough it up; this year he is protecting the ball and still running angry like Adrian Peterson.

Atlanta is trailing Cleveland by 10 right now. It started with a turn over, which is what our coaches are afraid of. Need I say more?

Re: Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

Ingram is starting to look good.

Re: Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

Looks like Ivory is being overlooked again today! Are they saving him for the playoff run?

Re: Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

Nah. Very happy with the way this turned out. Ingram gets a well-deserved score and everyone gets their hands on the ball.

There is NO ANSWER for our offense right now.

Im not jumping on the ingram train yet...still not convinced these next two games then will see

Re: Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

What sparked Ingram is Kromer going back to full time o-line and RB's coach.

Re: Overlooked Ivory a very pleasant surprise for the Saints ... again
 

This^

Its obvious the play of the O-line has improved since Vitt came back and Kromer turned his attention to the O-line. They aren't getting shoved backwards nearly as much and our RB's aren't getting pummelled 3 yards behind the line.
