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.
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.

I'll go as far as "he improved" but that is from a reference point of zero.
When ya have to start remembering 2-3 specific plays that ain't much. That could be solely from him being in there and Brees audibling too.
Only 1 catch in his NFL career too.
He can learn, grow, and become a better all around back. My emphasis was more on Igram. Besides his running skills he is one of the most proficient pass blocking & receiving backs out of college in a while. He's game ready in those departments from the get go.
