Chris Ivory to get more playing time

Speaking Tuesday, Jets coach Rex Ryan said Chris Ivory could get more playing time going forward.

"Maybe Chris Ivory will get more time," were Ryan's exact words. "He's running hard. ... There's not a whole lot of guys who want to tackle him." Ivory has run circles around Chris Johnson the past two weeks, but only out-touched him 28-23. CJ?K has out-snapped Ivory 54-52 since Week 2. For the season, Ivory is averaging a robust 5.7 yards per carry compared to just 3.5 for his more famous teammate. Ivory, who's never been known for his hands, has even out-caught Johnson 5-1 over the past two games. The Jets seem to be seeing what everyone else is seeing: Ivory is their best back, and it's not close. Ivory is an upside RB2/FLEX, with Johnson shaping up as a middling RB3.

ivory's playing style is conducive to injury

 

this is not a simple equation where doubling his carries will double his output. 

 

At least he's not a Thomas Jones where he needs a few carries to "get going".  Use your most effective RB as much as possible to try to win the game.  If he dies, he dies....it's why Powell is here.

Didn't hate the Richardson guy from the pre-season either. Is he still stashed on the PS?
