    My opinion, Freeman McNeil > Curtis Martin

    Tough steady running backs we had Clark Gaines, Kevin Long and Scott Dierking

    Style-wise, 100% agree. Character-wise, 100% equals. I've asked this question a zillion times, but I can't remember for the life of me who the Jets were playing. I'm gonna say Buffalo? It was a home game, and Freeman got tackled. The way he fell, he somehow broke the opposing player's leg. He felt so bad and was so distraught, he broke down and cried on the side-line. Joe Walton screamed in his face for being a baby. What a dick. I saw it on the news after we got home (they zoomed in and you could see Freeman sitting on the bench crying and very visibly upset), but even so, our seats were so stellar, you could very obviously see what was happening even with the naked eye. We were opposite side-line (my Daddy didn't like the sun in his face, it was the same was at Shea, The Old Dump, and I did the same in The New Dump), but I took out my binoculars and yep. People sitting on the Jets side-line started booing Walton. Good. You'd think I'd remember the team and the player seeing as it was so defining, but I know I had a really bad cold, so that probably has something to do with it. I went to Jets games even when I was half-dead, lol.

    I remember an incident like this but it was in the Meadowlands I think they were playing the Colts ......a Colts LB tore his ACL I can’t remember if he tore it tackling McNeil or if McNeil tackled him on some kind of return .....this was the late 80s.

    McNeil himself separated his shoulder against the Rams at Shea in 1983 after he was tackled on the pitching mound ......don’t remember his reaction but that was a crazy game .

    Freeman McNeil was the man! 24 has been a pretty good number over the years

    Here's 'big play Ray' Ray Mickens. 1996-2003. Mickens had a rough start to his career but he always had a nose for the football and ended up being pretty good. Idk, which announcer it was but when he was a rookie during a game they said "he's pickin' on Mickens." We said that for years in the backyard haha.

    So I'm not crazy? I thought it was around '84 or '85. Too bad nyjunc isn't here anymore and is pushing up daisies in the banned boneyard. He'd probably bust a cap in our ass for being wrong.

    A midget who wound up playing much taller. Too bad he played his last pro season as a Cheat.

    No you're not crazy...in fact my memory is coming back I'm 99% sure it was the 1989 game....It was O'Brien Alston a LB. McNeil blocked him low or something like that and he came out flat in the second half and played poorly and the Jets wound up blowing a big lead and losing. McNeil was in tears when he apologized to him coming off the field.........

    His biggest play as a Jet was running back a blocked FG for the winning touchdown against the Raiders in 1997......it was the first Jets home victory in 2 years.

    I read somewhere that his teammates often referred to him as the human "coke machine" because of his build :)

    I've seen that odd third picture before. If his forearms are that hairy, I'd hate to be his wife and have to see the rest of him. You know it's full on gorilla territory. No wonder people believe in Big Foot.

    I think I said pages back that my Daddy also used to say Klecko was like a Butterball turkey with arms. Dierking also fits this category, haha. Butterball turkeys . . . the Jets by Thanksgiving . . . AGITA. This is called The Domino Effect.
