Shonn Greene this week vs Arizona...lets talk about it. (1 Viewer)

[Lionz will turn it around!]

I know, it's Shonn Greene, but I also do not understand why he's ranked RB#29 as of Wednesday as this could be another big week for him. I know he's splitting time with Powell but Powell plays on passing downs and they were down big on Thanksgiving night. We all know that Zona will not be lighting the Jets up with their Rookie QB so Greene should see 20+ touches vs a bad run D that's coming to town. So, am I crazy here or is Greene a top 10-12 RB this week?

Wow I was shocked to see arizona is the 26th defense in points allowed to rbs this year. How is that possible?

26th as in 25 teams have given up more points to running backs than them

I believe they've only giving up 5 rushing TD's for the year. So, a ton of yards with very few TD's but I still like the NYJ o-line matchup and they should be running it a lot in this game.

Has Shonn Greene ceded short yardage, 3rd down, and goal line duties to Bilal Powell?

Not sure on anything but passing downs so I guess third down would be Powell and he did score twice so it could be Greene is between the 20's and then Powell comes in like in Chicago with Forte and Bush. I do not watch a lot of the Jets so we'll need someone to answer for sure.

The closing schedule is pretty good in general isn't it?

But I think Powell is the better back and he's getting the scoring opportunities.

He's been getting 50-75 total yards with no scores. How good does that get?

It looks like to me both guys get a drive each
