NYjet10 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 TJ just got more yards and TDs thanks to Faneca. TJ should be penciled in for 1300 yards, and 10 TD's. One more solid OLmen in either FA(Damien Woody)or the draft(Gosder Cherilous) gives him a lot more yards and TD's. A dream situation would be we get Woody, and Cherilous;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMaynard Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 And David Harris was happy last night. He had 127 tackles playing behind DRob and starting 9 games. What is he going to do this year? 300 tackles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenseed3 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Now Chad and Kellen have a reason to compete for the starting QB spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljet0910 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 I really hope Kellen wins it, because to me he is just so much more better and mobile. He throws the ball really hard and if he gets in trouble, he can actually run and not look like a faggot. All he needs to do is not keep the ball for so long though.

Sperm Edwards Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 How could you say he blows IJ. He ran for 1100 yds behind that crap O line last year. Because it took 310 carries to get that many. 3.6 ypc sucks. If our line is decent in '08, he'll have a decent season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 But he didn't have the same amount of carries! I'm not disputing that Jones had it rough last year. But he didn't do that great even under the circumstances. When there was no room, a guy his size (220 lbs) should be able to bull-rush at least a little bit. He stutter-steps as though he's going to create his own lane by doing so. He doesn't take the sure yards often enough. He's not untalented, but he's nothing special. IMO, with a short-yardage/goal-line back, Jones & Leon are more than adequate for a SB team if there's a good OL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterNorth09 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Leon had 5.0 ypc behind that same line. Leon Washington should seriously be starting over TJ next season. He is simply a better a player now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sperm Edwards Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Leon Washington should seriously be starting over TJ next season. He is simply a better a player now. I always hated hearing RB's like Jones & Martin saying how they needed those first 12-15 carries to get "warmed up" as an excuse for a sh*tty early dozen-plus carries. Go warm up on the sideline on an exercise bike. When you're warmed up, let the coach know and he'll put you in. Whether Leon should be starting over him we don't know. It certainly looks that way. I could see if Jones was getting these sure 3-4 yards every carry as opposed to Leon who we'd see get nothing-nothing-nothing-20-nothing-nothing-nothing-20 (which would lead to a turnover on downs or punting on virtually every drive). But most of my recollection of Jones from '07 is lining up 7 yards back, running up the gut, and getting 2 yards -- not pushing the pile for an extra half yard or more, mind you. Just going as far as the hole allowed. I think Leon can handle that. If he can't handle it for 20 touches per game, fine with me. I'm on board with splitting carries. I just don't consider 20 carries for Jones and 4 carries for Leon to be "splitting" them up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt Mangini will do it because he's still probably eager to try to justify the TJ trade and giving him that big contract. Just think, if we never traded for Thomas Jones the Jets would be looking at drafting McFadden right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack48 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 lol He'll score ten touchdowns in ten seasons He runs to the same hole on the goal line every time. Of course, that could be on the coaching. Or he stops at the hole. And hops and tries to change direction. He is not very fluid. That is on TJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon is a scat back situational player with explosiveness! Let's put them in the back field together to confuse the D. They both can catch out of the backfield also!

EM31 Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 For a man with a powerful frame TJ runs short yardage plays as if he were 120LB weakling. I think he is the softest big-man runner I have ever seen. Folks over on the Bears fan sites told us what we were getting (the good and the bad). TJ is NFL middle-of-the-pack (at his best) and we are paying him like he is top-5. How very Jets-like of us. Leon Washinton IMO is not a full time starter although they said the same about Tiki so I could be wrong there. TJ as I said is "OK" and since we have bigger needs elsewhere I am not advocating using a high pick on a running back in this draft. On the other hand if we catch lightning in a bottole in a lower round, especially in a draft supposedly loaded with RB talent, then TJ most certainly can be improved upon.
