JETSfaninNE Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Smith is a good runner and class act but also has had issues staying healthy. Macc is trying hard to work through this rough RB patch, hopefully it gets ironed out before regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure Bowles would like all of his starting RBs to be healthy and able to practice, participate in pre-season. But the three-headed monster should be ready to roll come week one, so I'm not worried. Between Powel, Seastruck, Morris, the two Williamses and now Smith, that's plenty of bodies for pre-season.

He's on schedule for season opener and is currently off the PUP list, so sounds to me like the Jets are just being extra careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuz you seem to complain about everything he does. Including the tiny linebacker who was all over the field in the first actual game he got to play in.

Integrity28 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 Antone Smith was a pretty solid RB/FB for Atlanta right? He's the one that threw up some good stats as a fill-in when their starter got hurt a couple years ago??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams with good young RBs tend not to turn them loose and drafting RBs seems to be a complete crapshoot, so I don't mind Macc not overpaying for a younger RB and not blowing needed draft picks at this position.

Forte is an excellent, injured, aging, great rb ... I'm sure you aren't including him in your comment Edit for more details - the injury is supposed to be minor, aging is entering his 9th season .... Hasn't shown drop off yet. averaging give or take 1,000 YD's rushing 4.2 per carry, 500 yards receiving , 8 TD's per season lol ... Is that your definition of awful & crap ?

The top 3 of Forte/Powell and Khiry may not be ESPN headline worthy, but trust me, maybe when it comes to a teams top THREE RBs we are near the top!!!!!!!!!!
