serphnx Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Looks like Leon Washington will be good for us. I know many posters on this site have been saying we should give him the ball instead of Barlow, and they were right. Our run block isn't as bad as we thought, I think Barlow just stunk. If Leon keeps this up, it's another brilliant pick by Tangini (4th rounder). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachTsurfing Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I'm still not sure if he can carry the load a whole game or we need a bigger back for some thunder and lightening action going on. you guys do realize we got him in the fourth from the sperm edwards trade.

GimmeShelter Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Was it Leon or the crappy Lions D? He played well against Jacksonville also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Was it Leon or the crappy Lions D? Well, I'm sure it's a bit of both. But that's all we really want, someone good enough to take advantage of a defense's miscues or a defense playing against the pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBrady Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 He definitely runs well, very quick and elusive, reminds me of a Dave Meggett type, a lot of doubters said Tiki Barber was too samoo to be an every down back and he proved all them wrong, now it is up to Leon to prove them all wrong thatr he can be an every down back as well. But I like Cedric Houston too, better than Barlow, when Houston comes back I would like to see him get some carries as a change of pace. Barlow was a waste of a future draft pick, Askew could do what he does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurredorunfocused Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 I`m just glad it was`nt that Suggs fella. Be nice to have Houston back though, I`m expecting good things from the Jets rb`s now hopefully we wont need to spend a pick next year on one.

BwanaZulia Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Leon is only going to get better. He is a baller and it would be nice to see what happens to him if given the chance to shine. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 @Buf – 3.6ypc (with Kendall out; a backup was playing in b/t two rookies) Ind – 3.7ypc (Kendall’s first game back) @Jac – 4.4ypc Mia – 5.3ypc (Moroney/Dillon combined for 2.97ypc) Det – 6.5ypc And the right side is still Brandon Moore & Anthony Clement in every game. After a year of strength/conditioning for not just Leon, but also D’Brick & Mangold, and a replacement at RT (if not both at RT and RG), I’m drooling with anticipation at what this guy can do.

If Leon keeps this up, it's another brilliant pick by Tangini (4th rounder). Barlow is good for short yardage, goal line sort of situations. When we need to go one yard into the endzone, Barlow has been effective, but Leon needs to run the ball more otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjets Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 It was the Lions crappy defense. so then you're saying that the JAX have a crappy D-line.. he ran for 105 against them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 so then you're saying that the JAX have a crappy D-line.. The worst rushing team in the NFL ran for 132 yards against the Jags yesterday. How good can that DLine be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistalava Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 Despite his lack of height, Leon is a strong guy. Combine that with a little bit of the Barry Sanders style change of direction and I think he's a 3 down back. His good runs were not limted to the edge and he's strong enough to bounce off tacklers to get positive yardage. I'd say we definitely have a #1 back.

gang_green03 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I have to admit I didn't think there was any way he'd be a our #1 RB but I'm beginning to change my opinion. I think he'll still need a bigger back to spell him at times but I'm excited that he might be able to be the main RB for us. I hope he continues this, if he consistently produces like this then I'd love it so we could focus on other positions in the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I really like Leon but I want to see him have a similar performance against a good defense. Even a good performance this Sunday at Cleveland with big Ted Washington clogging up the middle would be pretty impressive. The Lions without Shaun Rogers couldn't stop our grandparents from running the football successfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strange_andy Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 "Penis King"/MMQB: I know Leon Washington is 5-foot-8, but there have been enough backs in that size range (Joe Morris, Barry Sanders, Tiki Barber) that the Jets may have found their answer at running back. He's a dangerous guy in the open field. Even King is taking notice of L. Washington. P.S. You are the only douche left who doesn't see it TX.

serphnx Posted October 23, 2006 Author Share Posted October 23, 2006 I am really looking forward to the Pats game on the 12th now, should be really exciting. I'm more worried about penny than I am of Leon. Since Penny probably won't do much, Leon probably won't be able to do much either, I don't think it will be his fault though. Who knows, maybe I'm wrong, maybe the Chad faithful will finally be vindicated, maybe Chad will have a good game against a good D in cold weather. Stranger things have happened.
