Jetsfan80 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 ....I present some 2009-10 highlights for you. U6e8YkR2Y-8 What Tomlinson has lost in speed and quickness he makes up for by being an absolute bulldozer. Notice that what you see above is LT running between the tackles, not him making catches out of the backfield (something we KNOW he is still effective at doing). Behind our line, LT will be MORE than adequate as a # 2 RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I think this shows how the jets will actually use LT, near the goal line, and he will likley get some of smith's "gadget" plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Obviously, the video wasn't intended to "wow" anyone. Its to show that he's still a more than capable # 2 guy and in-between-tackles runner, contrary to the fans who say he is dead as a doornail. And I'll add that I do come away impressed, he shows he still has some burst, and unlike Jones, he can break a tackle and push the pile even in his "old" age.

ZachEY Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 LT is done. Faneca will be a pro-bowler this year. The Jets have no chemistry. Cromartie has a billion babies. Kerry Rhodes will be the first All-Pro/Oscar Winner in the same year. Santonio Holmes just bought an iPad. Mark Sanchez is still Mexican. Jason Taylor is an undercover spy. It's still Giants Stadium. Rex Ryan didn't lose that much weight. Leon Washington is going to return to form. We're screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean when a 'Highlight' reel is filled with nothing but ordinary plays is that somehow supposed to make fans feel better or worse about the acquisition? You guys lost a hell of a player in in Leon Washington. Granted who knows what he will be coming off his injury but if you were looking for a guy who could simply get you short yardage I'm sure there were a lot of younger options available. Anyway just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also must keep in mind that the San Diego OL was not exactly the type of OL we have. Ours bulls people off the line. They are all finesse. He could be a lot more productive with holes to run through. Heck, even TJ benefited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway just my 2 cents. you're right......we did lose a hell of player in leon washington. but we lost him last year.....and now he has to try to play with a rod in his leg. even without him we had the number 1 running game. and trading leon had nothing to do with getting LT. our rb depth chart changed dramatically last year. greene is our #1 rb and the guy is a battering ram. LT is taking the snaps tht TJ would have taken plus some fo ther 3rd downs atuff saicne he can actually catch out of the backfield. a 100% healthy washington would have been t!ts....nobody will say otherwise. but the fact is that he may never be the same.

sirlancemehlot Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 You could put together a much better reel with T. Jones from last year, including longer runs and crisper cuts. And I'm honestly not a big TJ fan. Proof that training hard and staying in the weight room outlasts talent in the nfl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behind our line, LT will be MORE than adequate as a # 2 RB. In the plays against the Raiders and Chiefs he walks into the end zone and against the Eagles and Cowboys he has to dive in. I have to admit he looked good in this video, but when we played SD in the playoffs I was praying they would give him 40 carries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm honestly not a big TJ fan. Proof that training hard and staying in the weight room outlasts talent in the nfl. Of course being fair the San Diego OL was terrible. LT had few holes to run through. Secondly it is a pass first offense. The D KNEW when LT was running! I'd loved to have seen LT running behind our OL last year especially with TRICH lead blocking. Err San Diego does NOT have a lead blocker like TRICH. How good would TJ have been if he was playing with SD last year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much more was he supposed to do? There were only about two plays that didn't end in a TD. I don't give a **** if he hops like a bunny, as long as he gets in the endzone.

Jetsfan80 Posted May 23, 2010 Author Share Posted May 23, 2010 Can we talk about some other teams back-up running backs in this thread too? Sure. Here's a list of backup RB's LT is better than: Ryan Moats, Texans Chester Taylor, Bears Brian Leonard, Bengals Rashad Jennings, Jaguars Larry Johnson/Willie Parker, Redskins Brandon Jackson, Packers Kenneth Darby, Rams Leon Washington, Seahawks Earnest Graham/Derrick Ward, Bucs Thomas Jones, Chiefs Correll Buckhalter/J.J. Arrington, Broncos Glen Coffee, 49ers Michael Bennett/Michael Bush, Raiders Patrick Cobbs/Lex Hilliard, Dolphins (and/or Ricky Williams, once Brown returns) Donald Brown, Colts Peyton Hillis, Browns Any New England RB Unknown commodities: Ryan Mathews, Chargers Toby Gerhart, Vikings Jahvid Best, Lions LeGarrett Blounte/Stafon Johnson, Titans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 I think some people are missing the point. Nobody is saying TJ didn't have a much better year. Let's see how they do respectively in 2010 when LT is behind the much better OLine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I notice there are no highlights from the Colts AFC Title game in there. That video should have been labeled "Jets OL 2009-10", because all that displayed was TJ running through giant holes, then either going down on first contact or getting chased down by a safety.

#27TheDominator Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 Ok then is he an upgrade over Thomas Jones? I hate to even admit it but those are some real highlights. IMO he probably is. That's not the point though. Jones was going to make over $5M for the year. LT will make that over two if they decide to keep him around. Jones has bitched in the past repeatedly about his contract and wasn't likely to take a backup role happily. He got in a fistfight when Benson came in to take his job and he has whined about his carries even with the Jets. There was a pretty fair chance Jones would cause trouble if Greene were getting the bulk of the carries and he cried that he needed carries to get in a groove anyway. LT is there as an occaisional alternative and a sure pair of hands. He is he floor, the worst case of what we will get. The ceiling is Greene and McKnight running wild.

What's impressive about them, the part where he breaks zero tackles to do so, with his OL getting him clear passage into the 2nd level, or the part where he gets chased down by the safety?

The Crusher Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 LT is done. Faneca will be a pro-bowler this year. The Jets have no chemistry. Cromartie has a billion babies. Kerry Rhodes will be the first All-Pro/Oscar Winner in the same year. Santonio Holmes just bought an iPad. Mark Sanchez is still Mexican. Jason Taylor is an undercover spy. It's still Giants Stadium. Rex Ryan didn't lose that much weight. Leon Washington is going to return to form. We're screwed. LT is not done but does have the same initials as a rapist Faneca's name has the same first three letters as Fannie. Nuff said. Chemistry is for fags Cromartie's sperm quality has nothing to do with football Kerry Rhodes will be deported after practicing his lines for the George Lopez show Santonio Holmes wants to save his hands for week 5, so he got an I pad so he can check facebook with his dikk Mexican Americans are Americans too. Except in Arizona. Are the Cardinals on the away shcedule? Kellen Clemons anyone? Jason Taylor isn;t a spy he's a fag and a marvelous dancer It's not still Giant's stadium, It's the NEW Giants stadium Rex Ryan is a beautiful man just like Crusher Leon Washington will be the best RB in the league this year who has an erector set holding together his tibula and fibula Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LandShark13 Posted May 23, 2010 Share Posted May 23, 2010 What exactly are you basing that on though? Certainty not recent events. If you're basing on the hopes he will have a good year behind a better line I will give you some latitude there. But Last year Ricky ran for over 1,100 yards and had an almost 5 YPC average. Jones ran for over 1,400 with a 4.6 YPC mean while LT ran for 730 and a meager 3.3 YPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
