LSJF Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 With Bam hurting… Does James Robinson get a crack to inflict some revenge on the Jaguars? With the weather, there should be more runs, but you never know with LaFleur, he might drop 50 passes in this horrible weather… since James Robinson was given away to us, this might be his chance to do some good and some damage on the jags… Just a thought… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the Claw Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Honestly, I doubt it. It would be a nice story but he just hasn’t shown anything since he got here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about that series late in the game against Buffalo, where the Jets ran the ball right down the field? Didn't he get a carry or two in that series? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a terrible guy to target in trade. The injury (Achilles) he’s recovering from is a 2-year thing. Many RB never return to form. Look at Cam Akers. Lawson is the exception, not the norm. Any fan criticizing him is sorta ignorant of the fact he’s been impactful in what should have been a mostly recovery-oriented season. This was a dumb move by JD. There were better street FA available at the time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen and played in games in HS like this and running may be the only way you can score or setup really short FGs or you will lose against anybody you play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robinson will likely get carries but I don’t think this will be some revenge game or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PepPep Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I still believe Robinson can be a productive back. And yes, with Bam banged up and the weather forecast being what it is he could get some more opportunities. However, I don't see this as a 'revenge' game. Fact is, the Jags will do what most teams have done against a Zach Wilson led Jets team- stack the box and shut down the run. There's a reason MLF throws the ball 50 times and its not because he hates running it or is a terrible OC. If you can't run the ball because the defense is selling out on the run- you HAVE to throw the ball until the defense backs off. I think we will see the Jets TRY to run the ball to maintain a balanced attack but will fairly quickly be forced to turn to a short passing attack. This will be a great opportunity for the Jets big 3 WRs Davis, Wilson, Moore to make a huge impact. It will be raining and these guys will relied upon to make tough catches, probably on a number of critical 3rd downs. Drops will KILL the Jets in this game. Big pays through the air will keep the Jets in this game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
football guy Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 He's been sitting mostly for two reasons: Draft pick compensation. He hasn't proven to be "good" by a wide enough margin for the Jets to feel comfortable giving up the higher draft pick if he were to meet incentives for a draft pick jump (175 yards) Not playing within the offense enough. Part of this is scheme fit, other part is him needing to learn it to achieve more consistency. I think he gets a lot of playing time this week due to injuries mentioned + injuries to the receivers + the weather + short week (he's fresh). Personally you have to get him involved and go for the wins. Our run game is horrid right now and they need a spark. If he eclipses 175 yards it means he's playing well or the other guys have gotten hurt; need him. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they feed him today and revert back to more of a committee for SEA and MIA. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the weather being awful, It might be hard to have the long passes, maybe short passes to the tight ends, RBs and WRs… Like you said if they stack the box against him run, they may not have a choice but to pass to set up the run 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERMONT JET Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 He has shown good hands out of the backfield in the past and he sure as hell has fresh legs. Unless there is something going on we don't know about I think he should be active and get touches tonight. I understand he doesn't play special teams and that may be why Johnson gets the active nod over Robinson but a win tonight is worth the risk with Bam not healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry McCockinner Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Given the weather, short week and his fresh legs I think it's a good chance he's up today. This is going to be a fugly game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmnj Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 he was very good before his injury guess he is a shell of himself Wilson is awful in good weather him in rain he will throw 5 ints if they let him throw-I predict a run heavy ultra conservative game plan-If I was the jets OC I would use moore out of the backfield like the niners use deebo-he has speed and in the rain one move and he will be off to the races Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is just under 3 yards per carry. That is not good enough! I do agree that if Bam is not good for tonight, then he should be activated and get some carries. Another chance for him to make an impact. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a healthy scratch, partly due to the terms of the conditional trade and partly due to the emergence of Knight, who has an ankle issue. This is a must win game and we are light on receivers. I could see more RBs being up this week and Robinson getting a decent amount of carries w/fresh legs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 No way J-Rob's trade conditions (450 rush yards or whatever it is) are the key element here Douglas would sooner give up food for a week than allow that 6th rounder to become a 5th rounder He should have traded a 6th or 7th straight up for D'Ernest Johnson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
