Jets HC Rex Ryan confirmed that the team wants to go forward with a committee attack at RB with Shonn Greene, Bilal Powell, and Joe McKnight. "I think it is the ideal scenario for us because we have three very capable backs," Ryan said. "Instead of just throwing one guy in there all the time to take all the hits and all the protections and the routes and all that. You kind of divide that role up. I think for us it's good. If you have the talent, when the guys are healthy and all that, fresh, I think that's the best way." Against the Rams on Sunday, Greene finished with 18 touches, Powell with 13, and McKnight with 5. Powell actually led the way with 28 snaps though. Greene had 26 and McKnight had 7. Based on that game, Greene looks like the early-down pounder; Powell the 3rd-down and red zone back; and McKnight a change-of-pace. A healthy workload was the only thing keeping Greene in low-end RB2 territory. If he continues to share carries, he won't be much of a fantasy option at all.
