New York Jets RB Shonn Greene

On how the team was able to have a breakout rushing performance…

Just us believing in ourselves and not giving up. Just hard days at practice. When you’re down and the running game’s not going as well as you want, it’s easy to just give up on it and just be like, “whatever,” but we keep working every week at practice. We keep just grinding and grinding and saying it’s going to come along and it did today.

On whether it was nice to have a big game as an individual…

It was pretty nice to get a win. What was it, (35-9), or something like that? It was nice to put points up on the board and that’s what we want to do. We want to execute, stay on the field, keep our defense fresh and put points on the board.

On whether he found more holes today…

Yeah, my offensive line did a great job today. Lex (Hilliard) did a great job at fullback. The wide receivers blocked down the field. As one offense, one unit, we did a great job.

On whether this is the best the running game has looked in a while…

Yeah, I think so. I think it’s important that we keep just working hard at practice and keep this momentum.

New York Jets WR Jason Hill 

On his touchdown catch…

It’s something we practiced during the week. I’m obviously limited. My base isn’t as big as our guys who have been here throughout training camp. So, that was one of the plays we worked on. (We) just made it happen. Mark (Sanchez) found me and I’m glad we scored.

On whether the short-range passing game was in Sanchez’s comfort zone…

Yeah, but at the same time, we’re taking what the defense gives us. You want to be aggressive, but you want to be smart aggressive, and I think that’s what we did (today). Our running game was wide open today and thankfully so, because we rode it until the end.

On whether he knew the team’s passing game would be limited this week…

No, I wouldn’t say that. We came into the game with equal opportunity. I think Shonne (Greene) took off and Joe (McKnight) took off. We rode their backs today.

On how he worked to get on the same page with Sanchez…

Just in meetings. Doing the things that you do, the weekly meetings and everything. I think he respects the way I work, early and late, making sure I’m on top of everything, and (being) professional. So far, so good.

New York Jets TE Dustin Keller

On how it felt to play…

Good, I felt great.  Did a lot of blocking in there.  It felt good just getting in there and actually being able to pop your pads and get back into the swing of things.  It felt good.  (I) came out of the game healthy and we put in a great effort.

On whether the two tight end packages were part of the game plan…

Yeah, I think that was part of the game plan.  We also had some stuff up in the passing game, but they really weren’t able to stop the run, so it was something we leaned on the whole game.  Shonn (Greene) came up big for us today.

On whether it took a few plays to get back into the swing of things…

I guess. I kind of feel that way in most games. (I) just get a feel for the game. It takes a couple plays to really get into it, but especially today. After I got out there a few plays, it felt like I really hadn’t missed any time.  But it felt good, all around it felt good.

New York Jets G Brandon Moore

On the running game…

As a coach, going into the game, that’s a team, we weren’t ranked, they weren’t ranked high at all in running the ball. They ranked about even with us on defense and rushing on offense.  We wanted to be able to run the ball and I think we did that.  

On if it feels good to finally get a win…

It was one game, but it feels good to know that you can do the things necessary that you’re capable of doing.  The more people that tell you you’re capable of doing it, you feel like you are.  (When) it hadn’t really panned out for you, it’s good to finally see those things you hear those coaches say, that you believe in, come to fruition in the game on Sunday.

On whether having Keller back helps with blocking…

I assume, I guess he must have done okay.  A couple of times I pulled around and he was locked up on his guy. I mean, it definitely helps having an experienced guy like him be able to be back and give us another weapon.
