In their loss Thursday to the Jaguars, the Jets had just 66 yards rushing.
Take away the 55 yards gained on quarterback runs by Wilson and Chris Streveler, and the running backs had just 11 yards.
“There was a stretch, and I showed the guys that the other day, there was a stretch where we ran the ball pretty well — Green Bay, Denver, obviously the Buffalo game, even Minnesota kind of got it going a little bit late,” offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said. “But these last three weeks has not been acceptable on all levels, starting with us as coaches putting these guys in the position to get the run game going.
The offensive line has sustained many injuries this season, and it feels like that has caught up to the Jets. They desperately miss Alijah Vera-Tucker, who started at three different positions along the line before suffering a season-ending injury in Denver in October. Tackles Duane Brown and George Fant are clearly not 100 percent with the injuries they have been dealing with all season. Defenders are beating them inside consistently, and they are not getting any push in the run game.
