OK, We're Running . . .
 
Through 2 games we're third in the league averaging 40 runs per game. 40.

To put that in perspective, last year the league leader in rushing attempts was Pittsburgh with 34.3 runs per game.

Guess what we averaged last year ? 27.3.

40

That's what is so great about having 2 capable backs. You can run the ball 40+ times in a game without wearing out your RB. In fact they are left thirsty for more carries.

I can't wait for Brady and the recievers to get on the same page, because we are going to kill people with play action. I will also love to see them trotting through the snow come December and January.

Early forecast calls for showers, you better believe we're running.

Denver's never faced a running attack from us like this one- Bailey and Lynch will be neutralized for the most part.

As much as I love Maroney that 11 yard run by Dillon when he just plowed over the LB or DB was sick. Lower that shoulder and kill them, Corey.

Maybe we should make Dillon our DB coach so he can show them how to put people on the ground. :)

Along with C. Jackson's T.O.-like first catch, that was my favorite play of the game.

What a smashmouth run that was by Corey - - it was as if he was telling the Jets (as he put it in training camp) "N.F.A.".

That was a fantastic play by Chad. If you watch it again it looked like the Jets CB had intercepted it for a second, and Jackson took it out of his hands.

When healthy, Corey Dillon is great. And definitley the run at the end...for a near first down was great. The Jets defense was certainly beat up and tired thanks to Dillon at that point.

What does N.F.A. stand for?
