Jets RB Joe McKnight, who aggravated his high ankle sprain 2 weeks ago, is unlikely to play vs Seahawks on Sunday, I'm told. #nyj

LaRon Landry: "Run defense is an attitude. Tackling is an attitude." Jets improved Run D may be key to playoff run. http://t.co/tlZNZYVP

So McKnight is out, leaving an injured Powell as the only of running back on the team. Anyone worried about that?

Not like it'll take a healthy back to get our usual two yards

A look at #Jets injury situation: Don't expect McKnight (ankle) to play. Ellis (knee) iffy, Scott (toe) less iffy.

You don't need more than two RBs if you're going 3 & out on every other possession.

Seriously though, Powell seems to be further along than McKnight and as long as he can suit up they should be fine at RB.

Is Grimes still on the 53-man? That should be fine as far as having available bodies to carry the ball if necessary. Hilliard is competent for a carry or two. I'm not suggesting that Grimes should touch the ball other than in an emergency, but he at least plays the position should it come to that.

3 RBs plus a FB on gameday should be fine.

I think Jim Mora's rant fits here :

"What’s that? Ah — Playoffs? Don’t talk about — playoffs? You kidding me? Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game! Another game."

Some more from this Presser/Rant. Does this sound like the Jets(and does Jim sound like Rex...lol)?

Well, I’ll start off by saying this: do not blame that game on the defense, OK? I don’t care who you play — whether it’s a high school team, a junior college team, a college team — much less an NFL team. When you turn the ball over five times — four interceptions, one for a touchdown, three others in field position to set up touchdowns — you ain’t going to beat anybody I just talked about. Anybody. All right? And that was a disgraceful performance in my opinion. We threw that game. We gave it away by doing that. We gave them the friggin’ game. In my opinion, that sucked. Ah. You know? You can’t turn the ball over five times like that. Holy crap! I don’t know who the hell we think we are when we do something like that. Unbelievable. Five turnovers. One of them for — We’ve thrown four interceptions for touchdowns this year. That might be an NFL record! And we’ve still got six games left, so there’s no telling how many we’ll have. That’s pitiful! I mean, it’s absolutely pitiful to perform like that. Pitiful!
