    I apologize for Jones running like a bitch all year. 2 big runs. Thanks. I assume he'll crawl back into his hole now.

    You can look at all of my posts from this season. I blamed the scheme, not TJ.

    If you run him straight into a defensive tackle, of course he won't do much. Get him some holes or run him off the edge and he will rack up yards in the open field.

    TJ lacks explosiveness to the hole. The Buffalo team defense is decimated. Jones is a good back, but Shonn Greene has explosiveness. I would work the kid in against this team.

    I still think TJ has dramatically lost a step. Unless it's perfect blocking, he goes down immediately after contact. That hasn't changed in this game.

    Why, because he run blocks for himself? Nice to see you're a football guru.

    if that's the case then how is it that the coaching staff doesn't understand that?
    its not like they want him to fail.

    he's just not a top shelf back. he often looks like a skinnier ron dayne, dives into the turf with no second effort. although he's certainly not as bad as dayne, who used to look like the ball made him top heavy, like they handed him an anvil instead of a football.

    It's unreal how many people think they are avid, knowledgeable football guys, but when they decide to discuss it, they show they they are no different that the 8 year olds watching where the ball starts and where it ends up between whistles. I wish I was a Mod.

    Jones caught plenty of short passes in the last two years.

    If you think the coaching staff has used him properly this year, look at how many times he has been targeted this year. Five targets in the first five games.

    Fred Jackson is a RB... he gets 4-5 yds after contact... TJ is a pre-OL ballerina :S a guy who has almost always been a starter for 10 yrs and has never run more than 60yds, on a single run, in his career sucks...

    Jones will be off this team at the end of the year. Then what? We have 4000 threads ala Pennington for the next 10 years?

    Listen, I'm sick of you noobs saying TJ sucks. Leon this, Shonn that, yada, yada, yada. Know what I see? TJ got 200+ yds rushing today. How many did Leon have? Don't give me any BS, Leon has the same running plays and he has the same blockers.

    STFU already, TJ is the best running back we have. Leon is a "scat" back, that is all.

    Message to Schottenheimer, stop being a douchebag and do what the 86 Giants did.. RUN,RUN and then PASS..asshat!!!!Stop trying to make Suckchise the 2nd namath already..

    Rant over.
