Default John Claytons Top 5 AFC Training Camp Battles

Jets number 2 on list:

2. New York Jets: RB LaDainian Tomlinson versus RB Shonn Greene: Although Tomlinson was brought in to share the position with Greene, coach Rex Ryan has to figure out during practices and in preseason games how to use both backs. Greene is the ideal first- and second-down back because of his powerful running style and his ability to gain yards between the tackles. Tomlinson is a future Hall of Famer who wants to prove the Chargers wrong for letting him go. Can he accept more of a backup role, or will he want to establish himself as the starter?

It is interesting that Joe McNight seems not to get a mention at all when it comes to the backfield. No body is expecting him to feature at all, even himself. In an interview on this site, he said that he doesn't see himself getting much time this year and that it will be all about learning the offence.
I think he will feature more than people and even more than he himself thinks.

He will if Greene gets hurt, which based on last year is very very likely.

Is that the only way we'll see him? He really won't have much of a role in the offence otherwise? I think he has bags of potential and I'd like to see him out there other than on special teams. Maybe he'll get a look in if LT isn't doing the business on 3rd down.
