This problem could certainly make it tougher to win the spot for the former Oakland Raiders running back.
Running Back Reaction: Who's the odd man out?
With such a mix at QB, the running game this season needs to match, if not be better, than the "ground n' pound" mentality that Rex Ryan initiially came into Florham Park with. Thomas Jones, and then L.T., were successful at running this gameplay, with the compliment of bruiser, Shonn Greene.
Heading into the 2013-2014 season, one with the words "attack offense...
