KRL Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Durable 25 year old RB who had nice production with CLE: http://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/17133/isaiah-crowell Now if we can sign a CENTER already maybe Crowell can improve on those numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 6 minutes ago, Skeptable said: He is 2 yard Thomas.. look at his stats He's an RB who can run the ball effectively behind a good O-Line. The Jets currently don't have a good O-Line. That's why the Jets shouldn't be wasting money on an RB who can do the same thing some guy you draft in the 4th or 5th round can do. Or that Powell and McGuire can do. I don't know what the contract details are yet but investing decent money in RBs who aren't elite isn't needed IMO. This team needs to be spending big money on premium NFL positions like CB right now. The QB market is barren now. Go get some CBs who can allow Bowles to it least do what he wants to do on defense.

UnitedWhofans Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Rich CiminiVerified account @RichCimini 2m2 minutes ago More Crowell is one of only six NFL backs with at least 150 carries in each of the last two seasons to average 4.0 yards or more per carry, joining Devonta Freeman, Jordan Howard, Ezekiel Elliott, Mark Ingram and Le'Veon Bell. #Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll take over the Forte role and run the ball 10 times a game for 20 total yards... There's no certainty that we have picks to select those QB as we better trade up for a QB.

Jet_Engine1 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Well, Its been fun...sort of. Its been stupid mostly. And frustrating. And sometimes embarrassing. But today? Yeah. I'm done. Was it McCown? No. That's just the typical stupidity we have come to expect from this team. Regimes come and go...but they still never learn. They never figure it out. Was it McCagnan sitting on his hands again, being used and abused by the professional Front Offices of the NFL? Nah. Nothing we haven't seen before around these parts. Bowles? Nope. Hes a ******* idiot, and has zero future in the NFL, but I suffered through Kotite and made it through. The Jets signed Isaiah Crowell today. My father was a Police Officer, and is still the best, smartest, kindest man I have ever met in this life. He served proudly and honorably for 30 years in Law Enforcement, and had some of the toughest jobs a cop could have....Vice, SWAT, Recovery Diver for 20+ years. My Fathers 4 Brothers and My moms youngest Brother were all NYPD and served honorably and raised great families. My Grandfather was NYPD from the 1920s to the 1960s. At one time, there were 5 Dolans on the force. My Great Grandfather was City of Brooklyn PD. Way back when. I was in New York City on 9/11. I was visiting from Florida helping my Mom at the Brooklyn Irish Festival and went to the Jets v Colts game on the 9th (Herms First as Coach). I watched Law Enforcement Officers (And my Brother Firefighters) run into that building to save lives, any lives, without regard to their own personal safety. And the New York Jets sign Isaiah Crowell? And you thought people were upset about Michael Vick? You thought people were offended by guys kneeling for the anthem" **** You, Jets. ****. YOU. I am Done. I will be sh*tting on any and all of my Jets merchandise and sending it to your filthy hall of incompetence at Florham Park. I will be rooting against you now and forever. Your sheer incompetence should have made this easy years ago, but I stuck with you out of habit...loyalty....? And you answer with this? **** YOU, NEW YORK JETS.

The Green Dude Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Anyone mad about this signing is a typical, idiodic cynic of a Jets fan. He's a solid back that's 25 years old and we NEED A ******* RB and he averaged 4.8 yards a carry with the BROWNS!!!!. Cry we didn't sign Cousins to a guaranteed 28 million a year, your tears will be sweet in 2020 when he blows. I'll take a chance on a rookie (hopefully) rather than throwing money at cousins or any other QB in this FA. Get a grip people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not every carry ANY carry... and if we really paid him 5-6 mil that is horrendous... he has a great track record of falling down and inflated stats on a team that was so terrible then won once in 2 years... his stats are so inflated because they were losing so bad they gave him huge running lanes.

Have to hope they saw something that they liked, but who knows at this point? It’s a fair point and tbh I hadn’t considered it but i’m sure there are examples where power backs can still be effective in those schemes, at the end of the day the OL has to open up running lanes either way. I think he’s more than just a 3 yards and a cloud of dust guy, I could be wrong but i’m pretty sure he’s a 3 down back, good receiver and will stay in and block. Will be interesting to see the contract numbers but I wanted this guy all along, He’s been pretty productive on a team that has won one game in 2 years.....His best is ahead of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
