Saints #2 RB?

[sowerss]

My guess is C. Ivory but is he hurt? Seemed like a good preseason and I think he might have the number two job but am confused.

Ivory is hurt, they just resigned Ladell Betts today.

[HowboutthemCowboys]

Heath Evans

[ROYALWITCHEESE]

Evans this week. Ivory from week 4 on.

[BearBroncos]

Betts or Evens this week and Ivory there after. I think they brought Betts back because there wasn't allot of faith in Evens at the GL. At least until Ivory has recovered. Granted, Betts didn't come cheap for a week or 2 of production.

Agree with the above that it will be Betts or Evans this week. Ivory was limited in practice yesterday and word is he will be available this weekend but I think they give him another week to get 100%.

Chris Ivory almost ready per Jeff Duncan.

Won't know until game day. My instincts say, no. Might need another week. @KeithC1973: Ivory Full...does that mean he plays Sunday?

With Evans still doing fullback duty I don't think he'll get that many snaps as a lone back. I think the Saints will go to him more, but I think PT will be the main benefactor in a more traditional backfield.

Sean Payton said durring yesterday's presser that Ivory is probable. Not too sure what to expect, but as I had 2 defenses, I'm taking a flier on the kid just in case of the slight chance that he does play and shows some good things. Already knowing that I'll have a low waiver priority - I figure why not roll the dice and take a gamble.

 

After all, it was the Colts defense that I dropped (other D is the Vikings).

I'm thinking that Ivory will get a few snaps if any at all. Payton will use PT and Bettis and not use Ivory unless he has to. Will get Ivory another week of rest, but from week 4 until Bush comes back he will be the #2.

no kidding? someone put the wheels back on the bus? how much weight did he put on since retirement?

Almost as many as Ron Dayne?

Just for a long-term outlook, I know a guy in NO who has connections, he thinks Ivory has a chance to earn a relatively large role down the road. He said it's similar to how Pierre won over coaches and teammates a few years ago, always giving 110%. I know this is vague he-said stuff but it's in my mental notepad for sure.

 

Let's see if Ivory can get that knee straight and make some plays in regular-season action first.

Here's to hoping!

I think Ivory will be primary backup to PTwith probably a limited amount of touches this week just coming back from injury.

[WildTurkey]

with Bettis coming back, they went ahead and signed IronHead Heyward and Aaron Stecker for depth.

I'll pay the guessing game & say I think Betts will get backup carries this week, but that Ivory is the RB2 starting week 4...assuming his knee doesn't act up during practice next week.
