Jets Moving Forward With A RB By Committee Approach

PLAYERS: Rex Ryan,  Walter Payton,  Bilal Powell,  Shonn Greene,  Joe McKnight
TEAMS: New York Jets

Jets head coach Rex Ryan said he plans to use a running back by committee, per Matt Ehalt of ESPNNewYork.com. “I think it is the ideal scenario for us because we have three very capable backs,” Ryan said, via Ehalt. “Instead of just throwing one guy in there all the time to take all the hits and all the protections and the routes and all that. I think when you have three guys coming in, I think that’s what the league is going to. You don’t have that guy that necessarily does it all every snap anymore the way you used to with a Walter Payton or whatever. You kind of divide that role up. I think for us it’s good.” The Jets used this running back by committee during last weeks win against the Rams. Bilal Powell played 28 snaps, Shonn Greene played 26, and Joe McKnight played seven. This is bad news for Greene as it’s starting to look as though his time as a featured running back with the Jets is over. Greene will be a free agent following the season, so this isn’t going to help his chances of securing even a decent contract on the open market. Source: NFL Trade Rumors Attached Thumbnails

Rex Ryan Sidesteps Smack Talk, Says He’s ‘Not Worried About Tweaking New England’

Via NESN.com  |  November 20, 2012
The Jets and Patriots play two football games a year. They also play another game, where Jets coach Rex Ryan says something stupid and the Patriots shove it back in his face. But not this time, apparently. As the Jets and Patriots deal with a short turnaround before their Thanksgiving evening matchup, Ryan has decided to zip the lip and just make sure his 4-6 Jets come out to play...

Rex Ryan: Patriots' offense 'is like, man, I don’t know'

Rex Ryan knows what his New York Jets are up against Thursday night when they host the New England Patriots. Well, kinda."When you look at them offensively, [Tom Brady] doesn’t get sacked, they don’t turn the ball over, they lead the league in points, rushing is in the top five," the Jets coach said Tuesday, via NewYorkJets.com. "It’s like, man, I don’t know...

Jets quickly turn focus to Pats after win vs. Rams

Via AP on Fox  |  November 19, 2012
Rex Ryan has no message for Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots this week. Nope, no fightin' words this time around. After all, the way the usually brash coach sees it, the New York Jets (4-6) need to focus on themselves and ''punch our way out'' of the hole they got into with three straight losses before a 27-13 win Sunday at St. Louis. The victory...

3's not a crowd but 'ideal' for Jets running backs

Via AP on Fox  |  November 20, 2012
Rex Ryan says it's an ''ideal scenario'' for the New York Jets to have all three of their running backs - Shonn Greene, Bilal Powell and Joe McKnight - in the mix for playing time the rest of this season. It has been rare for all three to be healthy and effective in the same game, as they were in the Jets' 27-13 win over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Ryan...

Turn On The Jets Week 12 Roundtable – Jets vs. Pats Predictions

Joe Caporoso - 12 Pack Chris Gross- Jets 24, New England 21: Tomorrow, the Jets will display the same mentality that they had last week in St. Louis, the mindset that their backs are against the wall and they need to swing from the hip to survive throughout the rest of the season. While New York is historically bad under Rex Ryan when facing the Patriots in the clubs’ second...

Rex Ryan, Jets wary of Patriots' strip-sack defense

Via AFC East Daily  |  November 20, 2012
The New England Patriots have been very good at forcing fumbles on opposing quarterbacks, and the New York Jets' quarterback has been very friendly to opposing defenses in that regard. Ball security will be at a premium Thursday night when the Jets host the Patriots, as New England has forced 24 fumbles, including six strip sacks. "That’s something that you have to be...

New York Jets Fact or False: Thanksgiving and Rivalry Edition

Happy Thanksgiving, Jets fans! After a much-needed victory in St. Louis last week, the Jets find themselves in a familiar, yet unfamiliar, spot in the Rex Ryan era. What’s familiar about tomorrow night’s game against New England is that the Jets always seem to find themselves in a pivotal point of their season when matching up against the Patriots for the second time in the 17...

Stephen Hill has been struggling but the Jets will keep throwing him the ball

Via NFL Draft Zone  |  November 21, 2012
Coach Rex Ryan said the Jets will “keep throwing” to struggling rookie WR Stephen Hill. Hill went without a catch again in Week 11, the fourth time that has happened this year. He also had another mind-numbing drop. Ryan tried to blame Hill’s illness for the woes. “Sometimes when you have young players, rookie players, and they miss the whole week of practice…you kind of...

Rex Ryan Defends Bill Belichick’s Decision to Leave Rob Gronkowski In on Extra Point, Calls Criticism ‘Ridiculous’

Via NESN.com  |  November 20, 2012
Rex Ryan and Bill Belichick are supposed to be archenemies. They’re not supposed to exchange Christmas cards, compliment one another on their interesting clothing choices or even swap pleasantries, at least as far as Patriots and/or Jets fans are concerned. But on Tuesday, Ryan broke that code. The Jets head coach actually backed up Belichick on his decision to play Rob Gronkowski...

It’s a bit of a shame that the Jets play on a short week against the Pats this week because I would like to savor that curb-stomping Rex Ryan and his defense handed to former Jets coordinator Brian Schottenheimer’s current St. Louis Rams offense just a little bit longer. After all, we haven’t had all that much to be pleased with this year, right? It sure was sweet to be on...

New York Jets – Fork In The Road Again Involves New England

Via Turn On The Jets  |  November 20, 2012
The New York Jets are holding on to the slimmest of playoff hopes thanks to last week’s victory over the St. Louis Rams and the general mediocrity of the AFC. An upset over the New England Patriots this Thursday night could set the table for a late season playoff run, aided by an alarmingly weak schedule the rest of the way. The Jets don’t play a team with a better current record...

No Gronk vs. Jets, but Pats still go as Brady goes

Via AP on Fox  |  November 21, 2012
There were no sighs of relief, no jumps for joy when the New York Jets found out they wouldn't have to worry about Rob Gronkowski this week. Sure, the New England Patriots lost perhaps the league's top playmaking tight end for a few weeks with a broken forearm. But Rex Ryan's team knew better than to celebrate. ''I don't know,'' Ryan said, shaking...

New York Post Fires Shot at Bill ‘Butterball’ Belichick, Blames Patriots Coach for Rob Gronkowski’s Injury

It’s still early in the week, but Rex Ryan and the Jets have remained somewhat tight-lipped in advance of Thursday’s Thanksgiving showdown at the Meadowlands. The same can’t be said for the New York media. In what seems to be a customary move, the New York Post fired a shot Tuesday morning with its back cover. The target: Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. The back page of...

Ending a three game skid and moving beyond a “Terrible Tim” storm that threatened to derail focus on the Rams is.
