Ex-Rex Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 After his 58 yard run Chris Ivory never saw the field again in Buffalo and I was wondering about that. No sideline reporter said he was injured, he was riding the stationary bike, so I am wondering if Bowles benched him for some reason, which would be like cutting off your nose to spite your face. If anyone knows please post, it has bothered me since because he was tearing it up at the time and would have given Fitzy a run option that Ridley did not provide.

UnitedWhofans Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 I recall the week before the game that reports were that Ivory was banged up. I think that's why he wasn't used a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ivory was not effective in the last three weeks of the season. He clearly needed rest to heal his various injuries (including hamstrings). Blaming Bowles for not playing him more neglects the fact he avged 2.8 ypc against Dallas and 3.5 ypc against NE. He hadn't had a TD since November vs MIA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 so why give him any carries at all then? they probably wanted to see what he could do, he gets his 1 carry and his body didn't respond.

It's not like they had a bunch of better options. he had 50-60 yds on 1 carry though. he must not have been healthy, it's the only explanation. as good as he is his style leads to more injuries and he is constantly on the sideline being worked on.

SoFlaJets Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Chris Ivory's Pro Bowl cameo likely his final game as member of Jets 11:42 AM ET Rich CiminiESPN Staff Writer Email print comment Chris Ivory's appearance in the Pro Bowl on Sunday night may have been his final game in a New York Jets uniform -- more specifically, a Jets helmet. He will be an unrestricted free agent next month, and the indicators suggest he will sign elsewhere. Ivory is coming off his most productive season, including an AFC-best 1,070 rushing yards, but there are three factors working against his return: his age (28 next month), his late-season decline, and the Jets' tight salary cap situation. The Jets have seven starters heading to free agency, and Ivory probably is no higher than fourth on the priority list. With only $14 million in projected cap space (a loose projection at this point), there's no way to retain every good player. You get the feeling Ivory can read the handwriting on the wall. "I'm not sure what's going to happen," Ivory told NFL Media before the Pro Bowl, where he ended up with almost as many "touches" (four) as he did in the Jets' season finale (six). "I would like to stay in New York if we reach an agreement. But I know the cap space they're working with and everything and the other guys they have to get signed or want to get signed back. But if it doesn't work out, I'm just looking forward to continuing my career elsewhere if it happens to go that way." Ivory said he has spoken to the team about his future, adding, "They want to bring me back, but like I said, I think it's about the cap space. That's going to be the biggest factor as to whether I'm back or not." No doubt, Ivory will garner interest on the open market. He'll be one of the most coveted running backs, probably behind Doug Martin and Lamar Miller, with Alfred Morris and Matt Forte also in the conversation. Ivory was a restricted free agent in 2013, when he was traded to the Jets and signed a three-year, $6 million contract, so this will be his first go-round as an unrestricted free agent. Ivory, underpaid the past two years, is expected to seek at least $4 million per year. (Why wouldn't he?) In 2015, the Jets' devoted $7 million in cap space to their running backs (11th in the league), and it's unlikely they will go higher in 2016. With only one back under contract, the injured Zac Stacy, they have to be smart about how they distribute the money. What kind of contract can Ivory expect? Let's look at a few noteworthy deals from 2015 free agency: * DeMarco Murray -- five years, $40 million ($18 million guaranteed) * Frank Gore -- three years, $12 million ($6.5 million) * Mark Ingram -- four years, $16 million ($6.1 million) * C.J. Spiller -- four years, $16 million ($5.75 million) * Ryan Matthews -- three years, $11 million ($5 million) * Shane Vereen -- three years, $12.4 million ($4.75 million) * Justin Forsett -- three years, $9 million ($2.1 million) Murray was the the outlier -- just a dumb contract by the Eagles, one they already regret. The hunch here is that Ivory will land a deal similar to that of Matthews'. Remember, the running back position has been devalued in recent years, so only in rare cases does a player make an absolute killing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 yeah and that was all he had for that day. What's the other explanation the coaches saw a 58 yard run and thought 'you know, what we should do is not run Ivory anymore' He had another five carries for 23 yards...better than 4.0 YPC and obviously better than what they were getting out of Ridley.

drsamuel84 Posted February 1, 2016 Share Posted February 1, 2016 Ivory's getting a lot of attention but at least he played, what about Powell? How hurt was he really? It was a must win all hands on deck situation and our most dynamic playmaker for the last few weeks didn't even suit up. He was a bigger loss and while I'm a big fan especially considering he's a "home grown" guy his inability to stay on the field is concerning and we should be real careful about overvaluing a guy like that. I honestly wouldn't be apposed to bringing Ivory back for the right price (easier said than done I know) and maybe drafting someone to replace Powell while also bringing in another vet RB. I think Powell's ability are easier to replace and his injury history is a real concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In his presser after the Buffalo loss, he claimed it was because he wanted to rest him for the playoffs?! Can you believe that? He THOUGHT the Jets would win and make the playoffs. Sorry guys but Woody hired a lemon. Todd Bowles is just another sh*tty HC in the mold of Rich Kotite. I look at the very most important game of the season with the Jets on the cusp of making the playoffs and Todd Bowles sucked a fat one. I look at the mid part of the season when the Jets players seemed to be sleepwalking through games. They didn't listen to the HC, they were doing their own thing. I think it's a just a matter of time before the Jets are looking for another HC. Todd Bowles wasn't even very good particularly as rookie Head Coaches go. He has real motivation tactic issues. However, Mike MacCagnan at least I believe is a good GM. I hope Mike realizes that Bowles sucks sooner rather than later so the Jets can hire a real HC.

BowlesMovement Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I think it's pretty clear why... he was completely out coached by Rex. You see all Rex did leading up to this game was harp on how many injuries his team had. Sooooo, Bowles figured this game would be sooooo easy, even Ridley can win this game for he Jets.

jamesr Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I recall watching the game and seeing Ivory face down on the treatment table shortly after that long run, getting a lot of work done. Not sure if it was a knee or a hammy, but it's not really relevant. He was hurt, the staff knew he was hurt, hence Ridley was "the plan" (as there was no other). When it wasn't working, they tried Ivory, and although he broke the one run, it was apparent that that was it for him. Not sure why there's still a lot of debate / conspiracy theory on this one.
