The Jets might have their hands full with Roy Helu...

...especially without DeVito playing...

Last week...

Helu took advantage of many opportunities the offensive line gave him, and he ran tenaciously. He gained 65 yards after contact on 23 carries, including 26 yards on his 28-yard touchdown run, and 13 yards after contact on seven catches. His quick feet helped him gain extra yards on several plays, most notably his 9-yard catch on the first play from scrimmage. When Seattle LBs K.J. Wright and David Hawthorne converged on him in the open field after failed blocks by FB Darrel Young and C Will Montgomery,Helu evaded them by darting to his left and gained an additional eight yards. It was as if someone hit the ‘L1’ button controlling him in Madden.

Helu’s 28-yard touchdown obviously was sick. It has to be one of the plays of the year in the entire league. CB Roy Lewis met him in the hole after LT Trent Williams didn’t clear DE Chris Clemons in time to sprint out and lead the way. Hurdling Lewis was jaw-dropping in itself, but then he bulled through SS Kam Chancellor as soon as he hit the ground. It was an unreal display of athleticism and power.
