Ivory with a poor rating on the year

https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/pla...ivory/6007

Leonard Fournette is the #9 RB? Am I reading it wrong?

Ivory needs to go. Yeldon is the better player, all around. And much younger

They don't need a bigger nose tackle, they need a stronger one. Also Abry isn't sole reason our run defense is getting gashed. Miller missed time and our run defense didn't fall off like it has this season.

He's right.  Jones is a downgrade from Roy Miller at NT and it's having a negative effect on this team's ability to stop the run. 

It's why they (unsuccessfully) pursued a different FA nose tackle and it's why they claimed Eli Ankou off waivers. 
They need a larger run-stuffing presence in the middle of that line on base downs.  

This problem is being further intensified by teams frequently running out of 3 WR sets and forcing us to guard the run from nickel formation without Poz or Jones on the field.

I agree with the 3WR sets issue EXCEPT Colvin has actually been playing very well in lieu of Poz on those downs even if it's a run.  I really see it more as a gap discipline issue.  Malik said as much this week on the radio show.

Until this year we had kept Poz in on nickel at the expense of our pass defense. That is the other big factor.

Malik Jackson needs to step it up. By far the highest paid player on the team and one of the weak links on the d thus far, but I have faith he will turn it around

His role is really to cause havoc from the interior of the line. I think he has done his job exceptionally well. He's part of a pass rush that has created a league leading number of sacks, and by a wide margin. I'm not about to get on any of those guys.

What's the source of this graphic?

I think this is an accurate characteristic.........
