Carlos Hyde talks about pursuit of 1,000 yards rushing

The San Francisco 49ers host the New York Jets on Sunday, and they face a run defense that has actually been pretty good. Football Outsiders ranks the Jets run defense No. 2 (as compared to No. 32 pass defense), and giving up the second best yards per attempt (3.5), behind the Ravens impressive run defense.

I am guessing part of this is because teams are more inclined to pass against them, but it still presents a unique challenge to an inconsistent 49ers offense. Colin Kaepernick will need to rebound from his atrocious outing in Chicago, but the team will also look for Carlos Hyde to help carry the ground game.
