Chris Ivory done for the season

Beastmode · 01-04-2011, 03:52 PM

The last few season we'll have a game or two where the RB takes over and gives Brees a break. Ivory did that, it was a little shaky at first but he settled down. I had a bad feeling he wasn't going to hold up with his history but he did the best he could and made a lot of progress in a short span so I commend the man. He left it all on the field unlike a lot of players.

The staff will use sound reasoning and make the right call but I have a feeling Ivory and PT won't be back next season. They'll likely get a solid veteran and bring in a late rounder or some undrafted talent that needs some polishing.

Look we did it without Ivory last year and we can do it again.

I think that given Bush and PT have had 5 games instead of 16, a few between the tackle runs won't wear either of them out. They've got fresh legs.

Still a bummer.

I was really really hoping to see Ivory in the backfield for the playoffs. I know we can do it w/o him, but this still sucks As$!!!!

That'll probably end his football career with the Saints.
