Are we going to see any change in his role this year, or will he still be used primarily as a blocking FB? The dude is the motherfuckin' Terminator, I'd love to see him pound the rock once or twice.
I mean, he's not going to be Mike Alstott, but he's obviously going to get his touches as he plays more...
He's a blocker who they will use on rare occassions in routes on play action. He'll get the ball but only on misdirection plays. He just isn't good enough to use as a Tailback and has too much merit as a blocker on short yardage running plays.
I read somewhere (Jets west camp?) That Conner has really good hands, so I see no reason to occasionally get him the ball, another option makes all the other weapons that bit more dangerous.
His job is to replace Tony. He has the tools to clear paths like a steam roller. Anything else is gravy.
Grammar I am the last one to critique because mine sucks. The spelling of our beloved Jet players names is completely different. If you can spell James Ihedigbo and Ropati Pitoitua, connEr should be no problem. To answer the OP, I think we'll see a significant increase in his role. Including some catches out of the backfield.
Spelling a players name on the team you root for isn't a grammar issue. It falls under lack of intelligence and/or general laziness issues, certainly not grammar.
I don't care if they do play for the Jets. I fucking refuse to learn how to spell them. I have trouble enough committing other shit to memory.
