It wasn’t so long ago that the New York Jets were considered a ground-and-pound team. They always had at least three consistent yet different running backs in their backfield capable of making big plays and keeping those chains moving. Unfortunately, things have changed over the years, to say the least.
Last season, the Jets aired it out a lot more than rushing, which had a hand in them ending the year with another 5-11 losing season. This time around, it’s important that new offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates have the right balance needed to make his version of the West Coast offense and efficient one.
