Pats prepping for Jets' expansive ground game

BY DAN BEGNOCHE

The New York Jets have had some legitimate setbacks to their running back corps this season, but it hasn't seem to throw off the game plan much, if at all.

Gang Green has averaged 115 yards per game thus far, and they're doing it with a multitude of looks from the backfield. Whether it's in the Wildcat, split-back, shotgun triple, read-option or traditional single back, the ground game has gained 4.2 yards per carry.

And with an average of 44 percent of their offensive plays coming on the ground, teams can continue to expect it in large doses.
