Reed isn't bad. He was a starter for the jets and had 62 tackles.
While the Jets gave up a lot of rushing yards per game, the average per carry was 3.9. (Slightly better than the ave. NFL D).
I think the Jets giving up so many yards rushing had more to do with offensive futility than anything else. Because the Jets couldn't score, once teams got a lead they just ran the team to death.
Overall, the Jets were 12th in yards allowed. Again, no one felt like they had to pass to win, because teams were usually playing with a lead.
