Two games into the 2015 season, the Jets find themselves sitting at 2-0 on the strength of an outstanding defense, quality quarterback play and a strong running game. Up to this point, the ground attack has been led by Chris Ivory who has 144 yards and two touchdowns on 34 carries (4.4 YPC) and Bilal Powell, 24 carries for 100 yards (4.2 YPC).
With week three looming, a third name is expected to be added to the list this Sunday in former St. Louis Rams running back, Zac Stacy. Stacy’s exact role won’t be known until kickoff as Ivory is a game-time decision with a quad injury, but Stacy is expected to either lighten the load for Ivory if he’s active, if not, he’ll be asked to carry a heavier load himself as the Jets will look to sustain time-consuming drives against Chip Kelly’s overworked defense.
