Good game, guys. The Jets fans at Alltel Stadium were classy, even in defeat. Very few injuries, and the injuries were minor. I was glad to see that Leon Washington had a good game. I met his grandmother a year ago while Leon was playing at FSU. She is a medical assistant at St. Vincent's Hospital in Jacksonville and was helping out with my father's surgery. Extremely nice woman, and I gained a lot of respect for Leon after she told me how she helped his mother raise him, and how he was doing everything he could to help her out.
He can easily say "You guys suck!!!1" but he was nice about the loss. Thanks Stephen Z Smith. Great game played by JAX.
Thanks guys. Good luck to you all in the future. Let me ask you a question. What do you think the possibilities are of Leon Washington taking over the starting job?
He has a better chance than anyone else. If he keeps stepping up the way that he has, the job will be his.
If he isn't the starter after the bye week (our bye is week 9) I'll be surprised. He and Cedric Houston are the only backs we've had this year who look even somewhat like NFL players.
I appreciate you are taking the high road. What else can you say but it was an asskicking by the Jags. But saying "nice game" after that effort by the Jets is akin to: Adolf Hitler: "Nice job getting your country on the same page." Joe McCarthy: "Nice job running that Congressional investigation." Ken Lay: "Nice job managing through that rough patch at Enron." Michael Jackson: "Nice job setting up all those sleepovers."
