RobbRiddick Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I actually think Ivory's style helped us more Vs the Vikings. He's more of a straight ahead runner, which I think suits the limited abilities of this offensive line. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zow2 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 It's been the only knock on Shady since his Philly days... he needs to run more north/south. Instead of the mundane 2-3 yard run up the gut, he too often will take a minus -1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I think it would be preferable, if he can play, to get Shady 5 touches or so and use Ivory as our bell cow. Let him get completely healthy. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's more of a straight ahead runner, which I think suits the limited abilities of this offensive line. Ivory is a strong backup, but McCoy is an elite talent. Ivory would break down if he had to be the lead back for more than a few games. McCoy has been the focus of the offense for the last three years - the QB was really just a point guard or a complementary piece. What's interesting is that Daboll is now getting the chance to build "The Josh Allen offense" and figure out how the running game fits into it. Your point is valid in the sense that we can't have JA facing a ton of 2nd and 14s because McCoy got blown up in the backfield. But I'll still take a future HoFer over Ivory any day of the week.

Shady is effective in the passing game too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of the mundane 2-3 yard run up the gut, he too often will take a minus -1. It's all about his mind set, I think. If he thinks he needs to carry the offense, then he looks for the big play too much. But, he also make plays that Ivory and Murphy simply can't. Against the Packers, they need to get McCoy out to the edges. Give him a FB or TE to run behind, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Sometimes he plays more north and south when he has a minor injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does, and that's exactly the sort of bruising, take-a-beating style that will aggravate Shady's ribs most. Our line is just not opening much in the way of holes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Sounds like with the offense starting to light things up he really wants to be out there making a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Im not worried about Shady. He is tough. Remember last year playoff game aginst Jacksonville his ankle was messed up bad and he played a great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Believer Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Think both he and Ivory prepare to start... Then start Ivory... use Shady sparingly... Let him recharge his battery... These are the coaching decisions that make a difference in a season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
