GangisGreen Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yes we need a GM, O-Cord., QB, WR, LB's, and two safeties. But I was wondering who will be the back next year. Greene is FA and hopefully he is done with us as I am not a fan. Powell showed some good things but I do not think he is the answer. Do we draft a back? Bernard -UNC Ellington-Clemson Taylor-Stanford Ball-Wisc. All four have great promise but will they be available in 2nd or 3rd rd? Free Agents worth looking at Chris Ivory-My choice but is restricted FA Reggie Bush? Rashad Jennings Andre Brown (but is exclusive) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgb Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 If we are smart powell. He's a jag but he is cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I'd love for the Jets to take a run at someone like Justin Forsett who is a good speed back that can catch out of the backfield. Between him and Powell they'd be fine drafting someone like Theo Riddick in the middle rounds. I'm about done with McKnight and Greene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Powell and a Draft pick. Although there's no elite runner imo I really like the mid rounders (2nd-5th). Lacey Ball Taylor Ellington Bell Michael Barner ...Bernard might be gone by their second pick....but who freaking knows pre-combine. I would also try to resign Greene (for the right price), who is an underrated RB imo. He's a perfect complimentary #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Trade for Ben Tate, and install the Kubiak zone blocking scheme that has produced guys like Arian Foster, Alfred Morris, Olandis Gary, Mike Bell, Terrell Davis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Speaking of the Texans...any of Kirksey, Harris, or Dorrell getting OC talk? I guess they can't yet what with playoffs to play and all..,. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deetothemo Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 A mid-rounder or a free agent. Greene is of the most one dimensional backs in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was 2010 again the Jets would and should be all over it, but new GM will have to decide the direction. Jackson is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obrien2Toon Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Powell, Greene, draft Riddick in 5th. Im in the minority, but I still really like Greene. He's not a #1, but he's a great complimentary #2. Really wears defenses down in the 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Yes really. He's better than Greene in every facet of being a RB including the smaller aspects of the game such as staying healthy within games, catching passes, not fumbling, and pass protection.

Greenseed4 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Witness the 49er's mauling O-line... ...not to mention their impressive collection of running talent: Frank Gore, Kendall Hunter, Anthony Dixon, Brandon Jacobs, and THEN they draft LaMichael James. It's almost like they were aware of the toll a Run-First team takes on it's running backs, and planned accordingly. Hmmmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm how about metric's like I dont know... touchdowns 2012: Greene 8 Jackson 4 Maybe Rushing Yards 2012: Greene 1,063 Jackson 1,042 YPC 2012: Greene 3.9 Jackson 4.1 Average Rushing yard per game 2012 Greene 66.4 Jackson 65.1 Bottom line Greene was the 14 ranked RB in the league this year and S.Jax is 15.

I am not say Greene is the solution but substituting him with the same player is not a upgrade They're not the same player when you look at more than just the rushing aspect of being a RB. Jackson is a way more useful in the passing game, and fumbles less than Greene as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lupz27 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Witness the 49er's mauling O-line... Kind of like our 2008-2009 OL? Yea remember how awesome that group was? To bad we never replaced the 4 veterans that either blocked or ran behind them in TRich TJone Faneca and Woody! That leadership has never been replaced, and IMO that is 75% of this teams problem, lack of leadership inside the locker room amongst players.

deetothemo Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Stephen Jackson (29) has been talking about retiring and saying he would like to go out "on top". If I'm getting a running back in free agency at all, I'd rather grab a younger back to help out in the passing game like Justin Forsett or Peyton Hillis. Would have to run a committee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
