Adam Schefter: "Chris Ivory is expected to sign with the Jacksonville Jaguars".
|
Quote:Well, we all know he's a power back and we desperately needed a short yardage guy. So I'm pretty happy with the move. However, does anybody know how he is as a pass blocker? Yeldon whiffed a decent amount of times last year, as is expected in his rookie season. I know it's not the most exciting thing to talk about when talking about a running back, but I'm just curious. The following was written last summer. In essence, it reflects part of the reason why I believe Chris Ivory won't be one of the Jaguars best options in the passing game. Despite this, Ivory could easily prove to be a major asset for the Jaguars because of his differential power running skills: http://nyjetsfans.com/?latestnews=should...ed-in-2015 Pass protection: When comparing Ivory to the rest of the Jets backfield his pass blocking seems to fall short where running backs Bilal Powell and Zac Stacy excel at picking up the blitz. According to Pro Football Focus Chris Ivory was ranked 61 out of 62 running backs in pass blocking efficiency. In a spread offense where Ivory would often be the 6<sup>th</sup> pass protector his inability to consistently stop the edge rush from linebackers makes him a liability when he is on the field. You can make a case for taking Ivory off of the field in passing situations. |
