FLORHAM PARK, N. Mason Crosby Jersey .J. - Marty Mornhinwegs reputation in NFL circles is that of a guy who likes to throw the ball in an attack-style offence that piles up points.That air approach has been mostly grounded in his two seasons with the New York Jets.The offensive co-ordinator has had to stick to more of a run-first philosophy, relying more on the running game on a team that has struggled with consistency and production.Just the way were built, Mornhinweg said Thursday.Its clear the Jets are a stronger running team than passing, ranking second in the NFL in rushing offence behind Chris Ivory (739 yards) and Chris Johnson (613). The team averages 4.7 yards per carry and 147.1 yards rushing per game. On the flip side, however, New York is ranked 32nd dead last in the league in passing offence.Thats the result of Geno Smith so far not taking the next step in his progression as a passer in his second NFL season. He has just nine touchdown passes and 12 interceptions to go along with a 69.8 quarterback rating. Michael Vick briefly provided a spark in his three games as a starter when Smith was benched earlier in the season, but the Jets were hardly a threat in the air with him under centre.Well, certainly there is a developmental process with every young player at every position, Mornhinweg said. The quarterback is such an important position that you certainly have to do certain things there. And I know it sounds crazy, and Geno has been up and down just a little bit throughout this first year and a half going on two years, but hes a young, talented guy. Every quarterback develops at a little bit (of a) different rate.The problem for Mornhinweg and the Jets has been that theyve entered the last two seasons expecting to have more of an attacking offence.Well, earlier in both seasons we have, Mornhinweg said.The Jets appeared on their way this season, rolling for 402 yards in the opening win against Oakland. New York also led the Packers 21-3 early in Week 2 at Green Bay before falling 31-24.The Oakland game, we were running and gunning pretty well, Mornhinweg said. I remember Green Bay, we came out running and gunning pretty well, both running and passing. Then, consciously, we morphed into quite a little bit more running.That choice came because attacking through the air simply wasnt working.Coach Rex Ryan gets labeled as a staunch proponent for a Ground-and-Pound offence, but thats mostly because it was so successful in the Jets runs to the AFC title game in his first two seasons with Mark Sanchez at quarterback. That was based a lot on personnel, which allowed New York to run it down opponents throats and let his defence clean up.So, early in the season, the Jets turned back to what their strength was: running the ball.When were protecting the football, I think we do a pretty darn good job offensively, Ryan said. I think our Achilles heel has been two areas: protecting the football and then the red zone. But I think were getting better in both, though.There have been other factors that have shaped the offensive approach. The Jets, outscored 360-230, have dealt with inconsistent play on the offensive line. A hamstring injury hampered top receiver Eric Decker for several weeks early on. The trade for Percy Harvin has helped, but he was a midseason addition, when the Jets were already in a 1-6 hole.Mornhinweg sidestepped questions whether he has been frustrated that his offences with the Jets havent put up good numbers.Well, I believe we are second in rushing right now, he said.But overall, New York is 25th in offence, and that has a lot to do with the Jets 3-11 record.In this league, you need to pass the ball very efficiently to score points, typically, Mornhinweg said. Now, every game is just a little bit different, but certainly, the passing game, you have to get that going at some point to win on a consistent basis.Mornhinweg acknowledged he and Ryan talk about the offence every day. But a published report a few weeks ago said the two have had friction all season, and the Jets run-heavy approach they rushed 49 times in a 16-13 loss to Miami three weeks ago was Mornhinwegs way of sticking it to Ryan.Both denied the report, and Mornhinweg reiterated that running the football more often as the season progressed was a conscious choice.Well, the way were built, Mornhinweg said, thats a reasonable thing to do.That said, Mornhinweg was asked if he would prefer all things considered to have more of an attacking offence.Well, you need to score points to win pretty consistently, he said. With a few exceptions.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL Dean Lowry Jersey . Sixteen teams have moved on. Sixteen teams have gone home.

The three goals bring Messis career tally for Barcelona to 371 in all games -- including friendlies -- breaking the club record of 369 held by Paulino Alcantara since 1927. The 26-year-old Messi was already the clubs all-time leading scorer in official games. Messi assured Barcelonas fans they will enjoy his goals for years to come, saying "as long as people want me, I will stay here.Ander Herrera reckons Manchester United have the edge over rivals City and is confident his team-mates can secure Champions League qualification. The Red Devils failed to qualify for European footballs top competition for the first time since 1995 two years ago and that failure cost David Moyes his job.His successor Louis van Gaal looked to be struggling on a similar path only for back-to-back victories either side of the international break - a 1-0 win at the Etihad Stadium and another 1-0 success against Everton on Sunday - to put them within a point of fourth-placed Manchester City. Man United should be every year in the Champions League, said Herrera. I think the last 25 or 26 years, just one time we didnt play Champions League, so we want to be there.We are Man United, we as players are obligated to fight until the end and I think we have the quality to be there. Teenage sensation Marcus Rashford won the Manchester derby Man City has a bigger squad, very good players, but I think right now we can fight against them.We have recovered some important players for us. They are going to help us and there is a lot of experience, like Antonio [Valencia] and Ash [Young]. I am optimistic.I think the last game we showed that we are a little bit better than them right now, in this moment. We beat them away in the Manchester derby so we can be optimistic.

Damarious Randall Jersey. hen we play against top teams, I am not so worried about our performance because I think we usually do quite well against top teams, Herrera said. The most difficult games for us or when I am a little bit more worried is when were not playing against top teams.Another trip to London follows just days later as United face West Ham in an FA Cup quarter-final replay and Uniteds bid for silverware is set to be boosted by the return of Wayne Rooney, who has been out since February with a knee injury but is closing on a first-team return. Wayne Rooney is closing in on a return to fitness Hes the top scorer for us this season, he usually is the top scorer of this club, Herrera said. We are going to count with him hopefully next game, so it is better for everyone.I always say that when you have competition in the team it is better for everyone in the team.Watch Manchester Uniteds clash against Tottenham at White Hart Lane on Super Sunday from 3.30pm.By purchasing a Sky Sports Day Pass for 6.99 or Sky Sports Week Pass for 10.99, you can enjoy access to all seven Sky Sports channels and watch on a TV with a NOW TV Box or on a range of devices.
