The word "feature" is scary, but hopefully they are using it loosely.  One thing I noticed about early camp reports were a number of TD catches by Howshare and a number of "catches up the seam" by Leggett.  Hopefully, those are good signs.

Be interesting to watch how it plays out

All we have to do now is Hire Shotty as the FB coach who lobbies to split the MFer out wide in a 5 WR set. 

[The Crusher]

Hopefully we feature the Tight End as well. Just like Aaron Hernadez been awhile since we had a tight end.

now,.. if we only could find a qb

Why did we fire Rex again?

Why did the Bills sign TWO fullbacks?

Do you ever get the impression that Pegula has a Jets obsession?

[thadude]

actually a good idea.  Defenses keep seeing the same shotgun and singleback formations this is something different

[JetFaninMI]

Well based on past history anything different with this offense is good.

[New York Mick]

A few teams still run the ball and use a FB.

Over/ under Week 4 before some says "why do we have a fullback? It's an antiquated position"

Because after not resigning all our good players we finished under .500 and because people on this forum demanded it.

If your OL isn't that good, you need a FB to help in the running game. If your receivers aren't that good, you need a FB to help in the passing game. The Jets could use a FB.

If anyone saw the video of that Stump Mitchell interview, the dude's a total hardass, similar to Westhoff. The kind of coach fans love.

I said this before when Morton was first named as OC. If he follows his previous HC's game strategies the Jets will be using 2 RB formations. I believe we will see Forte flaring out for short passes which works more to his strengths. I also think we will not only see the TE position utilized much more but also watch for duel TE sets. Gailey's ultra-conservative offensive with no TE involvement couple with no deep ball threat definitely made the Jets Offense very predictable last year.

Robbie Anderson, it's Noodle Arm Fitz who could not deliver.

I was watching film of the A-train the other day.  It's amazing how effective FB can be when you utilize it.

 Only a Jet fan would find fault with their team trying to implement ways to utilize all the possible offensive positions that could be used as a weapon . A TE who can block and catch passes is an additional weapon when taken advantage of and so is a FB who can do the same .
