    There is a method to everyones madness and Mike T, Ryan and the rest of the orginization has given me no reason to not trust theirs. Leon was loved by many Jet fans almost to the point where he was overrated. Fuck him and fuck his agent.

    Rex is just like Bill Parcells, you piss him off, or in this case your agent pisses him off and you will soon be on your way.

    We all know who is running the show and now ever player does too.

    His agent out priced him right off the roster.

    I love the old school-ness of Connor. I'm going to hold off on my opinion for now.

    It wasn't a knee injury. He broke both bones in his leg. I know some people are angry (I have Leon's jersey) but I saw this coming. Leon was an outstanding player for us because of his ability to change directions and his speed. After this devastating injury, I believe, he will not be the same player.

    Remember we are a running team, so the fullback will be an important position for us. Tony Richardson is in his 15th year; he has to be replaced! This is why we picked the fullback out of Kentucky. The Jets are trying to get younger and more explosive.

    Sorry to see hm go but his agent was extremely unrealistic. The one that bothers me more then him is TJ.

    oh no, we traded our 3rd RB who was never going to see the field significantly and a kick returner! boo fucking hoo!

    I'm going to go ahead and make the ridiculous and obviously ignorant assumption that the front office has a grasp on the team, it's needs and what it is going to take to be successful in the long run.

    TJ was another good player for us. However, as he shared carries with Greene I noticed he was very slow hitting the hole. Again, because of our outstanding line he got away with that specifically in the fourth quarter. The only issue I have is why LT to replace him. Maybe the Jets feel LT still has the quickness to the hole, we will see.

    I would never have done this if I were in charge, but it's done. HOWEVER: you got to wonder how a guy who couldn't handle being Reggie Bush's heir feels about being Leon Washington's heir. Pool, Xerxes, Faneca and Leon: we're taking some real, significant chances here.

    Between this and the faneca move, it ;ooks like the team is clearing money for another move or pick-up.
