Rex Ryan hints at more touches for Chris Ivory

Chris Ivory and Chris Johnson have been splitting carries for the New York Jets so far this season, but that could be changing in the near future. 

Head coach Rex Ryan had this to say after Monday's loss to the Chicago Bears, via Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News:

"Maybe Chris Ivory will get more time. He's running hard ... there's not a whole lot of guys who want to tackle him."

Ivory and Johnson had similar numbers on the ground Monday, but it was the passing game where a difference could be seen. Johnson didn't have a catch, while Ivory tallied 52 yards on four receptions. 

That kind of production on safe throws is a big benefit to a young quarterback like Geno Smith.
