The best cure for the Jets’ ailing rushing attack might not be a personnel change, a play-calling tweak or anything fancy.
It might just be a well-timed Sunday gift from the schedule-makers to face the ground-and-pound-susceptible Seahawks.
The crowd that thinks all running backs are the same and not worthy of high draft picks or big contracts shouldn’t look at the Jets. Rookie second-rounder Breece Hall was averaging 5.8 yards per carry before a season-ending torn ACL. It looked for a bit as if the Jets might get by with Michael Carter, James Robinson and undrafted rookie Zonovan Knight, but those three fill-ins are averaging 3.9, 3.6 and 2.9 yards per carry, respectively, even after a couple of big games for Knight.
“We take full ownership,” left tackle Duane Brown said. “Running the ball is about a mentality, and we have to have the mentality that we won’t be denied. We have a lot of experience up front and we have to create movement.”
