tcampbell104 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 i just think if we kept ivory our running game would be more powerful, and with our passing game not really there yet it would make us a stronger team in the playoffs 4 1
Kirby Jackson Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 I’m going to go with neither. Gore would have been fine as a 3rd back because of his character. He should have never been counted on to run the ball. We should have probably kept Shady as the other back or signed Latavius Murray. They had to have a guy with some tread left on the tires. 5
Ramza86 Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 On the field probably....off the field...probably not. Gore is a veteran role model and a future HoFer. Just having a guy like that on the team, working hard and being a good example for the rest is big for the process. 6

NewEra Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 We should have gone with Peterson imo. Maybe next year.
st pete gogolak Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 No. Ivory was already shot as well. Second half of the season should have at least had Yeldon activated. I'm sure we'll see him in season finale. 1

I wanted Shady, Motor and Gore...I just...you know... Maybe Shady would have been a problem with less touches and maybe it could have become an issue, but I just think the guy would have helped as opposed to what we don't get...or aren't be allowed to see, with Yeldon.
JESSEFEFFER Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Gore has been very good as the closer RB. Ball security, tough yards and some first downs when the D knows he will be running it. The heavy short yardage is a fail all over the league, imo, as one failed block lets a defender meet the ball carrier 2 yards behind the line. 1
ngbills Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Remind me how many yards Ivory has this season?
John from Riverside Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 No Im fine with us keeping Gore....its just that it has shown that he is wearing down over the latter part of the season.....thank GOD for DS Just need a younger back that compliments Devin now....that big speed back 1

McCoy is going to be over 500 yards this year with a 4.6 YPC. Ivory is out of the league. I would have been fine with a variety of options but Ivory isn’t a 2 at this point.

BananaB Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Lately Gore is terrible. Yes, I wish we kept Ivory. 2
ProcessAccepted Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Wow!!! That is crazy talk. Gore is our culture personified. Mentors young guys, shows them how to work, plus can help finish games like the Titans game. The guy has been a great addition. 6 3
Patrick Duffy Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Nah, I got to say I'm pretty happy with Gore. Love the leadership and even though he has had a rough couple of games it's not all on him. A lot of the times the play call was a run with the D stacking the box. He will still breakout for a good chunk of yards here and there given the chance. 1

Big C Posted December 18, 2019 Posted December 18, 2019 Gore has been invaluable to Motor. And let's not forget he was actually effective when Motor was hurt. He helped keep our reeling offense afloat in that Pats game. I think his age us catching up to him a little bit but I think his usage is partly to blame. You knew we were handing off three times to Gore on Sunday and it's hard to gain ten yards when the whole defense is keyed on you. Not to mention, getting Gore to #3 all time in rush yards is a big motivator and morale boost for the team. McD uses stuff like that to great effect. 1
