</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Coach Rex Ryan confirmed that he plans on giving defenses "a heavy dose of Shonn Greene."</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>If LaDainian Tomlinson hadn't taken a paycut, he might not even be on the Jets roster. It's obvious that Greene is now the true bell cow as Ryan confirmed that Tomlinson will play mainly on third downs. With running backs coach Anthony Lynn saying he hopes to get 300-plus touches out of Greene this year, the arrow is pointing up here.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Shonn Greene was in for 13 of the 15 first-quarter snaps in Monday's preseason opener.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>LaDainian Tomlinson played just two snaps, both on third downs. This is the way we expect it to go in the regular season as well, leading to at least 270 carries for Greene barring injury. The third-year power back picked up 32 yards on five carries last night and added one catch for five yards.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Greene is having trouble walking normally as his foot is infected and swelling. But the doctors are showing little concern and there's no reason to downgrade Greene on draft boards. He remains a value pick in non-PPR formats as the Jets' early-down "bell cow."

LaDainian Tomlinson - RB - Jets </TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=bodyCopy>Coach Rex Ryan insists LaDainian Tomlinson "can still be an every-down back," and would take over as the Jets' primary runner in the event of a Shonn Greene injury.</TD></TR><TR><TD>

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>"If something were to happen to Shonn on a regular basis, then L.T. would go in there," said Ryan. Ryan did concede that, "it fit us better that (Tomlinson) would be in more of a third-down specialist, a reserve back, and let Shonn take the brunt of the snaps." Still, this confirms that Tomlinson remains No. 2 on the depth chart, well ahead of Joe McKnight and rookie Bilal Powell.

</TD></TR><TR><TD class=vaLink>Ryan expects Greene, LaDainian Tomlinson (knee), Plaxico Burress (personal, back), and Jeremy Kerley (knee) all to return for Sunday's matchup with Buffalo. Throughout his career, Greene has had more success against the Bills than any other team. He'll return to the lineup as a typical low-upside RB2.
