WSJ: Jets find success in two-back approach

[tweeterhawk]

One, of course, is Iowa's Doak Walker Award-winning former RB. The team's brain-trust sees value in sharing the load (and the pounding) between two solid backs. KFKOK, are you listening?

I would say that anything that is effective is by definition pretty.

I've never understood the mindset of having a "feature" back when you've got two really good backs considering the beating that position takes. I'd keep rotating them to keep them fresh unless one was just totally going off on the D.

I think they are at the turning point in the season where Greene is more effective too. The last few weeks, it has seemed that way, at least from the box scores. Hopefully Greene can finish this year the same as he did last year.

NY Times does it too.

Must be an old school kind of thing.
