As I have been telling Jets fans up here why they got rid of a younger Jones for a beatup running back is just baffling to me, and if they intend to use LT as a 3rd down back that is even MORE baffling when you consider they had one of the scariest 3rd down backs in Leon Washington.

At 5-7 carries a game, 2 catches out of the backfield, he will be fine.

LT Jr. hasn't played a real game in 4 years. He's always hurt or crying.

I am still yet to find a jet fan anywhere who can explain to me how you replace TJ's 29 TD's over the last two seasons. LT and Greene combined won't give you that kind of production. TJ was support for Sanchez just like he was for Grossman in Chicago. Without him Sanchez will struggle just like Grossman did.

I seriously doubt that you watched that many Jets games if you feel that Jones is so irreplaceable. I mean, just watching Greene in the playoffs, you saw what a bull he was. -
If you have an Oline as good as theirs or ours, we could run through it...The jets issue is the same as ours, to see their/ours offense go to a new level.......that being the QB's......PS17 likes this. -
The great thing about having Greene and Jones was that neither would have to carry the whole load this year. There's no way LT can share carries, he's basically a 3rd down back, so now you have a young back in Greene (who was already hurt once last year in the most important game of the season) taking the majority of carries.
It was a move that could've been made next year, instead of this year. Other than media hype I still don't understand why it was done now. -

If Greene has over 300 caries I dont think that does well for the offense, or Greene IMO.... -

EDIT: Misread your post. I agree. A bionic Leon is more dangerous than LT. -
Bottom line is that the Jets down graded their running back unit..... 32 or not, TJ was much more productive than LT was last year or will be this year. And they lost Leon Washington. Replacing those guys is fine......replacing them with a worn out LT? Not so much...

If/when Greene goes down, it will be LT and ????? to replace him?Ronnie Bass likes this. -

This is a team that runs the ball to survive, their depth behind LT is..no one.
At least the Dphins have Lexxy and PCobbs -
As soon as things go bad with LT and the Jets he will sit on the sidelines with his shielded helmet and pout. Adding a lot of former big name players does little for team chemistry, but that seems to be Ryan's plan. I'd rather go with younger players who will be around for a while.

He had three good games, fumbles often, and all of a sudden he's the future.
Good luck. -
Hell, even the Jets had Thomas Jones AND Shonn Greene. Hmmmm..... -
