Ivory should get the start
 

We've had tons of time to see who is the better back and no play sums it up better than Ingram getting stuffed on the third and short. I was screaming at the TV knowing what the Saints were planning and knowing tha ivory would have gotten that **** done.

At this point I am ready to just trade Ingram away. Ivory just has more mass and can move so much better than Ingram. I just don't get it.

The article that said Ingram's role was becoming clear? It is. We're showcasing him for a trade. At least I hope we are. I'd prefer to still have Joique Bell over Ingram.

It's Pete's fault.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

Ivory started the 49er game.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

Started but carried less than Ingram.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

I wonder who'll be the first to say "NO !! IT'S THE BLOCKING !!! IVORY IS NOT PLAYING BETTER THAN INGRAM !!!"

lol

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

Internal bounty? Ivory is offering roasted chickens to the line if he gets more YPC.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

Maybe because we had to start throwing more, and Ingram is a better pass protector (according to the coaches) so they used Mark more.

I'd like to see more of Ivory, he's damn sure a violent runner. A poor mans Steven Jackson.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

Given a chance he'd be better IMO

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

We were playing the #1 run defense in the NFC also. Not sure either would have had a great day with more play time.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

The two pick 6's changed everything. They WERE running the ball, committed to it, including Ivory, up until that point. The drive that led to the Jed Collins TD, featured Ivory on several carries. Then the wheels fell off. But my point is that they were featuring Ivory, just like some of you guys wanted, up until the moment when all heck broke loose.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

Why were we running up the middle so much? Pitch outside to Ivory. Give him a little space.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

This.

The Niners have one of the best, if not the best, D-lines in the league. Our O-line is getting mangled and pushed back into Drew's business, opening no running lanes, yet the logic Carmichael chooses is, "Let's run it straight at them. Repeatedly."

Those up-the-middle runs largely haven't been successful for us against much worse defenses, so what confuses me is not only does he try it against these guys, once is has proven to not work, he goes back to it again and expects different results.

Really?!? Pete, what were you thinking? SMH.

Ivory needs more carries. 'nuff said.

The definition of insanity.

Re: Ivory should get the start
 

Yeah and he got what?? 4 freakin carries and Ingram got 10 or more. Ivory got good yardage on almost all of his carries, Ingram did not. Saints coaches need to get their collective heads out their arses so we can win some games. We don't have many more left.
