SoFlaJets Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 oh yea...yea Lowery went to SD State didn't he? He knows how great LT is and that he should give it to him (LT might have to fork over some $$$) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I would hope Lowery would give up his # to a future HOF in LT. That's my guess. Give???? It won't come too cheap I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno the Jet Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Time to see what Shell-T has left. I am not sure how to feel, exactly, but I would like to think he will improve the team. My main concern is parting ways with Leon. Perhaps I am being too sentimental, but he is one of my favorite players to have donned the G&W. I hope we keep LW since there will be no cap and LT may be one and done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vudu Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 if we get rid of Leon Washington for an over the hill 31 yr old RUnning back it will be the dumbest move ever. LT should be behind Shonn Greene and LW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I didn't read that right. Anybody have the terms yet? I think they can keep Leon. How about the wildcat? I like Brad Smith for it, but doesn't LT throw fairly well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slats Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 UNcapped does have its perks... this move is nothing but upside... Why all this excitement over a washed up up future HoF'er? You guys must've been stoked when Art Monk pulled on a Jets' jersey. now let's get Leon Washington signed Tanny's taking the next best deal that comes across his desk for Leon. LT was the last missing piece in replacing Washington - he'll handle the 3rd downs, while Brad Snith handles the wildcat and KOR's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoneStarLady Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I think Lowery went to San Jose State. I guess this is a good move as long as he fully accepts his role as the backup. Lowery did to to San Jose State and wore #25. Maybe he'll go back to 25 now that Rhodes is gone, which gives LT #21. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 if we get rid of Leon Washington for an over the hill 31 yr old RUnning back it will be the dumbest move ever. LT should be behind Shonn Greene and LW You are trying to over simplify the way it works... There is no set order... you don't give it to one guy because it is his turn... LT would be a 3rd down back.. someone who can protect Sanchez and catch a pass... Leon if able to after his injury would still be a change of pace 2nd down type of RB or if the JETS are down by 10+ Greene would be the guy who carries the load... There is no such thing as being behind someone as a RB anymore when it comes to your #2 #3 #4 RB etc it is all situational... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 How about Leon for Brandon Marshall? FWIW, I checked. LT has more career TD passes thrown than Kellen Clemens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Crusher Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 this signing doesn't automatically spell the end of Leon in NY guys...2 RB's ain't enough I agree. Seems more like TJ's replacement. Thats a nice three headed monster when Leon re-signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neckdemon Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 lol...the vikings boars is sour grapes....funny thing is this isn't really a big signing imo. but also imo...tomlinson is at least as good of a runner as TJ is now plus he can catch out of the backfield.....so it's an upgrade.

shawn306 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 I don't get the excitement over signing a guy who's numbers have dropped every year the past three years.

Jetsin09 Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Off season not going so badly for a team handcuffed by the final 4 rule. Now we just need Bellicheat to release Adalius Thomas.. This should be an amazing draft this year!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should be about LT's ability to catch out of the backfield, we'll see how that plays out this year. Guy is clearly Leon's replacement, IMO. Jets ran two backs all year last year, with Leon and Shonn splitting the season. That'll be the plan this year. And the Jets will not run the ball as much as they did in 2009. There just aren't the carries for three guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see. Jones definitely won't rush for 1000 as the backup in KC, just like LT won't come close to that number here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone is willing to pay the 2nd round tender the Jets may feel they are getting good value and let him go, but i don't think they have to get rid of leon to make room for tomlinson. even tho last year they ran mostly with 2 backs (because of injuries), the plan going into the season was to carry 3. I think that will be the plan again this year, which makes sense at this position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bergen Jet Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 if we get rid of Leon Washington for an over the hill 31 yr old RUnning back it will be the dumbest move ever. LT should be behind Shonn Greene and LW I love Leon but I would get rid of him in a heartbeat for a high 3rd or better. Turning down a decent offer for a 28 year old scat back coming off a major injury (who didn't exactly shine before getting hurt last year) would be a much dumber move than singing LT.

GreenBeans Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 Great move by the Jets - LT gets 12 touches a game <8 run, 4 pass> and I think he can be effective. He can also handle the load for Greene once in a while should he run himself into an injury. Welcome to NY LT2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 14, 2010 Share Posted March 14, 2010 This tells me that Leon is out of here for a 4th or 5th round pick. No one is giving up a 2nd in this draft for Washington. Not even Al Davis is that stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
