With Lovie Smith on the hot seat in Chicago, it makes very good sense that he would turn to Mike Martz to turn around their offensive woes. Jay Cutler has unlimited potential and the right arm to help him achieve that – however, he has not reached it yet and could use some pushing from [...]
He waited until the fourth game of the season to get his first rushing attempt, but Shonn Greene is clearly a major key to the Jets’ offense and could be a big factor on Sunday versus the Colts. In two playoff victories over Cincinnati and San Diego, he rushed 44 times for 263 yards, including [...]
