The journey of Chris Ivory: Dismissed, discarded and, finally, celebrated

While it's tough for me to see Ivory succeed as a Jet while Ingram struggles this year, it may not be that the Saints coaching staff made a mistake. Perhaps Ivory got better.

Likewise, Ivory has always been a burly, bruising bowling ball of knives, but what looks different this year is how he’s attacking the line of scrimmage. Ivory is taking more time behind the line to find his running lane and he’s getting farther upfield before taking contact in the process; he’s averaging 2.73 yards before contact this season, up from 2.06 yards before contact in 2014.

And note that means that the Jets coaching staff didn't magically make him better as 2014 is the comparison year.
