For Chris Ivory, it's what's up front that counts
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Chris Ivory knows he's a marked man.
"But I don't like to say that," the Jets running back said, smiling.
Thanks to his violent running style and tough-to-tackle frame, defensive coordinators are taking notice each week. And in some ways, that's both a blessing and curse for Ivory.
"Defensive coordinators from other teams are watching and seeing how the offensive line gets off their blocks, how aggressive they are, and seeing what I'm able to do after I get into the secondary," he said Thursday. "It makes it tough for them where they say, OK, we're going to focus on stopping the run. They feel like when they stop the run, we're one-dimensional."
