I think that with the issues in the running game, our playcalling was limited
I dunno if everyone really gets how big of a deal this was. If Ivory was in you automatically knew it couldn't be a passing play. He didn't catch on to the passing scheme and couldn't pass block at all. PT & Reggie were out so much we had guys in there operating by the seat of their pants. I venture to say our playbook is one of the largest in the league. It's not easy even for veterans like Betts, Jones, & Wynn to pickup.
This leads to another anticipation/excitement issue... Ingram is known as a quality receiver and one of the best blocking backs in the NCAA. Make no mistake, Payton/Loomis didn't sacrifice this year's 2nd Rd pick to get next year's 1st Rder early on a whim. They're after (with no hatin') what they were hoping Reggie would have been.
I'm sticking with THIS projection- 1000-1263 yds on 250-300 carries for Ingram.

If Ingram puts out 2006 Deuce numbers in the running game, then I'm going to have to go GHAZI on here...

In the first few games Ivory played this was truly indeed the case but after a few games Payton began to trust Ivory more. If you go back & look at the Cowboy & Bengal games, you will see Ivory in on some big passing plays.
On the deep pass to Devery in the 1st quarter, against Dallas, Drew faked to Ivory & Ivory stayed in to block & did a pretty good job doing so. Ivory was also in the crucial TD winning drive. Drew faked to Ivory before hitting Lance Moore for the game winner.
This continued against the Bengals as Drew faked to Ivory & hit Meachem for a long TD. Ivory's inability to stay healthy keep him from developing more as a blocker & threat in the passing game. He is not on the level of PT or Bush but he showed signs of improvement each game he played.
