Hope he can get it going this year. From article:
“I think my role is just being able to do whatever it is that they tell me to do,†Greene said. “Whether that’s carrying the load, I’m going to do that. If it’s playing first and second downs, or just third downs, whatever. I’ll do it. I think we have the right backs and the right personnel to get the job done.â€
“I think people are waiting for me to take that torch,†Greene said, “and take what I’ve learned from them with my ability and move forward with this group.â€
But, with Maurice Jones-Drew unhappy in Jacksonville, some Jets fans have put the elusive back at the top of their wish list because, they say, Greene can’t handle the rigors of being an every-down, No. 1 back.
“I don’t pay any mind to that stuff,†Greene said. “Everything that’s said outside, they’re entitled to their opinion. It’s one of those things where with fans, they want to see the this, the that, the long runs, the touchdowns.
“My style really is pretty much this: Feed me as the game goes and I’ll go and go and go. I just play to my ability, man.â€
“You saw him squaring those pads up and he was running through,†Ryan said. “He looked impressive and he wanted it. He was feeling it, there’s no question. If it was up to Shonn, he would’ve carried it 30 times. I saw him kind of in that groove. I feel really good about where Shonn is now.â€
“Just looking at where we were my first two years, I think that kind of motivates me,†Greene said. “I mean, that was amazing getting to the AFC championship game. We’re not even talking about the Super Bowl. It’s just such a good feeling winning in the playoffs and stuff like that.â€
“I’m just into winning, man,†Greene said. “I want to win. That’s it. Stats and all that are good, but for me, it does no good to be on a team and have all these stats and you’re not playing in the postseason. What the hell good is that, you know what I mean? It’s a team sport and you want to get to the highest you can be, and that’s the Super Bowl.â€
