The Jets need to make a decision on Perine in the off-season and now is the perfect time to figure out what to do. Otherwise, it makes no sense to keep him on the roster to just keep deactivating him. I like Johnson a lot as a 3rd down scatback because he’s very quick in the open field. I don’t know if he can pass block though.
For you long-timers, take a moment and try to think of every Jet who was ever the best player on the team. Bet you forgot this guy:
My memory of that game was Brad Smoith running a kickoff back for a TD and it was on a Thanksgiving night.
Johnny Johnson was a STUD for us in 1993. 1500 yards from scrimmage on that 8-8 team. The Cards traded him to us to move up and grab Garrison Hearst from Georgia. Looking back on that 1993 draft there were some very good backs drafted #3 Garrison Hearst #10 Jerome Bettis #21 Dr. Robert Smith (who retired in his prime) #41 Natron Means (Business) Nice Bruiser for a few years #78 Terry Kirby #120 Adrian Murrell
