This true and a good point

I disagree. If you remember, it was three or four games before Ivory would go in on anything but a run. If he was back there it was usually in the 'I' and everyone including my wife knew he was getting the ball and that it would be a run.

All that didn't matter b/c he ran like a man, got yards and balanced our attack. We have Bush (and hopefully Jones) for blocking, screens etc...
if this kid can just help us grind out clock than he is more than worth it.
