Rex Ryan, Brian Schottenheimer go back to ground game, Shonn Greene leads the way

Rex Ryan's decision to return to the Jets' Ground-and-Pound roots has paid dividends in the past few weeks. After Mark Sanchez aired it out for the first month with mixed results, Ryan decided to lean more on the run game to help his team snap out of their early-season funk.

"I just thought that we weren't being ourselves," said Ryan, who talked to offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer about the philosophical change after the loss to the Ravens in Week 4. "As much as we wanted to use and expand our weapons, I just don't think that was the best thing for our football team."

C, who was a nonfactor for the better part of the first month, ignited a rushing attack that gained a season-high 162 yards in the win over the Chargers on Sunday. Greene has had at least 20 carries in the each of the past three games.

"We just wanted to get back to really playing New York Jets-style of football," Ryan said. "Let's get back to doing it. I think maybe I got caught up in maybe being enamored with the type of personnel we had. At the end of the day, we went back to who we were."

"We needed to get the ball into Shonn's hands," Ryan added. "Now you're seeing the guy that can move those sticks."

GOOD BYE
DL Mike DeVito (sprained knee) wouldn't be able to play Sunday if the Jets had a game, Ryan said, but the coach expects he'll be ready for the game against the Bills after the bye. DL Kenrick Ellis and LB David Harris have ankle sprains and are expected to be ready for Buffalo.

FAMILIAR RING
Ryan promises never to use the word "rings" again after getting into hot water last week when asked how he would have done if the
Chargers had hired him four years ago. He also famously told everyone that he wasn't going to kiss Bill Belichick's rings a couple years ago. Ryan did say he'll still use "Super Bowl" and "Lombardi Trophy" in the future. The Jets also cut WR Michael Campbell from the practice squad.
