Ivory is going to be on the PUP list to start the season, which is what SP has stated... barring any statements to the contrary he might have made within the last few days. Ivory is a real power runner, but I fear that he will go the way of Barber and become ineffective due to the injuries his hard running style produces. If the coaches are able to get Ivory to modify his running style so that it won't be as hard on his body... he might have the longevity to really brake out, but it's hard to see that happening and him staying as effective as a runner at the same time.
I think that Ingram looked better than a lot of people seem to think. I wasn't expecting him to brake for 80+ yard runs on his first taste of professional football. I was glad to see him pick up a good block a few times, since that's one part that seems to be hard for a lot of young RBs coming out of College. |

I'm done with Ivory. Hurt in College, hurt last year, hurt now. Why would anyone think the trend of injuries will stop?

to give up on the kid because he has had some bad luck with injuries while showing promise as a runner. I think he has above average vision, he's able to quickly adjust his running direction without losing speed at the same time (--> see Reggie Bush) and he's good at running between tackles. |
