Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

In three seasons with the Saints, Chris Ivory showed off some highlight-reel runs and averaged an impressive 5.1 yards a carry. But he was buried on a crowded depth chart, and in 2012 he ran the ball only 40 times all season.

Now Ivory has been traded to the Jets, and he thinks that’s just the change he needs to become one of the best backs in the NFL.

“It’s an opportunity for me to really get the carries that I deserve,” Ivory said, via the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “I put the work in every day and every week. I just feel like it’s my time. . . . I feel like I can go out there and do some great things with the opportunities I’ll be given, and I know I’m going to make the most of it. With every little glimpse I had in New Orleans, I did great things. If I’m getting more than six and seven carries a game, the sky is the limit for me. I can do some great things and put up some crazy numbers in New York.”

The Jets and Ivory have agreed to terms on a new three-year contract, and he’s viewed as their No. 1 running back going forward. If the future of the Jets’ offense is Ivory as the starting running back and Geno Smith as the starting quarterback, most Jets fans would gladly take that over a pairing of Bilal Powell and Mark Sanchez.

Take a bite out of the Big Apple, Chris ... don't let it take a bite out of you!

Good one, IRvory.

I want to see him kill it this year

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

He has 2 things against him:

1. Himself; he can't stay healthy an entire season
2. The Jets offense isn't anywhere close to what he had in New Orleans; the two offenses have as much in common as a chameleon to a crocodile. I do wish Tusk much success with his new team; except when the Jets play the Saints!!

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

I hope he stays healthy and rushes for say 1300yds with 12 of those coming against the Saints.

At least he got paid!!

Good luck to him

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

We will see how he does for a full season now. He will certainly have the opportunity to shine with Sanchez if he stays healthy, best of luck Ivory.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

Crazy numbers with in 6 games?
Can't be done!

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

Fumbling is not great.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

He does realize this is the Jets right?

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

I hope he breaks the all time rushing record.

Most Time Spent on IR
Most Hamstrings Pulled on a Single Play

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

16 would be the craziest number Ivory could put up.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

Bite your tongue. We play the Jets this year.

With him needing 1,700 yards to do that.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

Don't care if he does well. Just not against us.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

Im so pumped for him. Go get it ivory u put in time got caught in a hen house packed with foxes. Its your turn man. And what i love aboit u going to the jets is they show them down louisiana way. Im lovin it. Get u some man.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

If there's a player now outside the Saints locker room that I wish the best it's going to be Chris Ivory. I like his running style and the plays so Chris go act a fool just not when you play the Saints.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

Our trainers are going to look bad if the Jets manage to keep him healthy.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

Sometimes it has nothing to do with trainers, you just get in a bad streak and get injured again and again. I did it myself for almost 3 years, 4 surgeries later I managed to stay pretty much injury free. Knock on wood.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

New York Jets CRAZY period.

Re: Chris Ivory plans to put up “crazy numbers” in Jets’ offense
 

I wish him well. I hope he runs all over the Patriots twice this season. His running style is awesome, but it doesn't usually last long.
