RSJ Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Sounds dumb - but we need a power back in here now. Thomas Jones is a nice RB - but we need someone who can run with power to compliment him and I'm hoping Chatman can be that guy. Leon Washington is a nice 3rd down RB - but he is not a RB.

MagicBizkit87 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 You are absolutely 100% correct. Not being able to punch it in for the touchdown twice in this game, and only getting 3 points total between the 2 drives is ridiculous. Chatman not playing this game was what I think was a big part of us losing this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irish Jet Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 TJ is awful in short yardage. Just awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaspegs Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 TJ is awful in short yardage. Just awful! I dont get why every other RB does that huge leap but TJ cant do it. When was the last time we saw a Jet do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagicBizkit87 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Wasn't Cedric Houston a guy who was a good short yardage, and redzone back? I believe he had 7 touchdowns in his short career with us. I was not to thrilled when he retired. I still to this day don't get why he retired.

Chatman not playing this game was what I think was a big part of us losing this game. That's what I'm saying. TJ is a good back. He is just horrible at short yardage. We need a bruiser to ice the game and for short yardage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serphnx Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I don't understand why TJ gets so much love. I do not see one thing that he does well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a thyroid condition that required medication to play. Officially everyone said that the medication had it under control, but unofficially I do not believe this to be entirely true. Jay Cutler has diabetes, he has to take insulin injections. I'm curious as to how this will work throughout his career. His career might be cut short if this becomes a problem, especially as he gets older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was arrested shortly after he quit. EDIT: From what I just read, the arrest was dropped pretty quickly and the only reason given for him quitting was to return to school, get his degree and set a good example to his daughter.
