I think they are saving Ivory for the giants game. He should be more than ready. Ingram will be fine he is running where he is told to run,his vision and production will come. As far as Ivory he also runs where he is told,just with authority.

I was getting ready to say from the looks of it that my post in the 2nd page of this thread is only post that exudes real football knowledge

I may question the wisdom of GW sometimes - BUT I tend to trust SP. He, normally, makes the right decision.

We can wish or hope yardage on Ingram, but until he puts out either in YPC or total yards we are doing nothing more than wishing.

I WANT Ingram to be a great runner. But all my wanting won't make it happen.

As far as Ivory; well, there are highlight videos of him in action. Self-explanatory. If he can't stay healthy then we will have to move him off the active squad, BUT we can't wish health on him either.

One is proven. One is not yet proven. Simple as that.

not giving a rookie running back a chance to prove himself while complimenting a guy that took all the carries for us for 4 games last season is a bit biased IMO

ingram has not had the luxury of taking all our carries.....chris ivory was our only healthy back for several weeks last season and his numbers reflect that

if anybody in the NFL had to pick between the 2 i guarantee they'd all pick ingram......impatient fans seem to be the only ones not giving him time to produce

Ivory has dealt with health issues from jump. He's even talked about it himself, in depth. Out of football, on PUP, watching us draft Ingram and sitting on the sidelines all this time... Does not surprise me one single bit that he tweaked his hammy, and there is no way in hell Payton sits him for any other reason.

It's foolish to think otherwise. I just hope it isn't severe, because I'm ready to see him explode like last year, and help get us back in balance, and poised for another Superbowl run.

John i guess some want Ivory to get more playing time and some Ingram...its not a that big of a deal..I think both are good backs one just seems more NFL ready that's all...and we are trying to win games..status has nothing to do with it..just results.

The sooner Ivory gets more touches the better our run game will be..Ingram will good and maybe even great ...but right now he seems to be a looking more like a rookie than Ivory does..i want to see some good 150 plus games like against Tampa...it makes my nerves feel a lot better..if anyone thinks im hating on Ingram your dead wrong..but sometimes you have to face facts ...and choose the player that will give you results...i mean we are trying to make it to the superbowl..Ivory led us to the playoffs last year...

Our D let us down..lets be glad that we are passionate about this topic...and that we have both..were going to need them down the stretch..

And don't forget about the factor back P.T...he is the most rounded back we have..

If yu think about it this a nice problem to have..

Hey, whats going to be interesting is after the bye week all of our backs will be healthy and if Payton dresses all 4 we may get to see who really is who. The Giants have a pretty good run D, lets see where it goes after that game. I love this sh!t!!!!!!!!!!!!
