unbanmadmike1 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 LMAO at Powell getting similar carries to Johnson and Ivroy. That would be hilariously bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 CJ is RB1 in Fantasy terms, trust me. Ivory will get dinged, Powell will blow. If Ivory healthy u may see some goal line stuff, but CJ will have huge year if our pass game can click a tad to make LBs/secondary stop cheating by coming close to Line of scrimmage. Football 101, balance breeds partial success in all phases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 LMAO at Powell getting similar carries to Johnson and Ivroy. That would be hilariously bad. Yeah, because it worked terribly last year with just Powell and Ivory splitting carries... oh wait, it worked just fine and Powell averaged 4 yards a carry which is more than respectable plus he's a much better receiver than Ivory, who is basically useless in the passing game. Do you just say stupid crap and hope no one notices so you can say you contributed to the conversation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 LMAO at Powell getting similar carries to Johnson and Ivroy. That would be hilariously bad. Glad to have Powell on the roster with the injury-prone style of running Ivory has, but yeah, it needs to be a 1a/1b situation with CJ/Ivory and Powell is there in case of an injury. He's an average but dependable back with limited upside. Hell, if CJ goes down I'd prefer to see what Richardson can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets had one of the worst, unwatchable, jokes of an offense in the NFL last season, so no, it didn't work "just fine". What the hell were you watching last season?

What the hell were you watching last season? The Jets rushing offense was actually pretty damn good last year considering. They were sixth in the league in yards and 9th yards per attempt with 4.4 yards per attempt. Considering they had a rookie QB starting 16 games and most teams stacked the box because they knew the Jets wanted to run that's damned impressive. I really don't give a **** if it bored you, I deal in reality. Powell is a better than average NFL running back and most teams would kill to have a guy like him as their #2 much less their #3.

The idea taking the running offense by itself and saying, it BY ITSELF (in the worst offense in football) had decent stats so it was "damn good" is just so foolish i shouldn't even respond to it. Congrads for ignoring all the context for your point. Powell is AT BEST a 3rd down blocking back who would be the worst starter in the NFL if he was a starter and looks like he's running in quicksand. It shows the pathetic levels that this offense has sunk to which I guess is what you get when you have a coach who is completely disinterested in the offensive side of the ball and a front office that is utterly incompetent at picking offensive players. But hey, as long as they have good rushing stats and can stop the run (forget stopping the pass) who cares, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Powell, and I think he's the perfect type of home-grown role player that makes this team better. That said, better than average players are usually starters.

"Home-Grown" is meaningless unless the player is good and you have him on a cheaper contract because you drafted him. If Powell was a FA and the Jets signed him, people would think it was a nothing move at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the absolute definition of a good player. He does his job, he doesn't cost us anything on the field. He isn't great, he's not capable of taking over a game, but he is absolutely a good player, that plays a vital roll on this team. This is exactly the type of player you hope for from a 4th round pick, a guy that sticks, does his job well, and while he doesn't light the world on fire, he's a good football player who can be relied on. That's being realistic about draft picks. Not expecting them all to be studs, or great. You seem to have no clue wtf you are talking about.

A lack of respect for "Just A Guys" Those ****ers do the job, fit in and get no respect. You always want to upgrade them, but "thinking there are guys on practice squads that can do the same role" is a mistake. The Jets have probably had a dozen of those practice squad guys through and none of them could do what Powell does. I don't want him to get as many carries as Ivory or Johnson, but if he does it won't be a disaster which is precisely what JAG is supposed to do. If Dimitri Patterson turns out to be a JAG we will probably be awesome on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
