    i worry that he will end up just not using them. literally running the ball 14 times a game. i cant see how he could do that with our pass offensive weapons but thats what i forsee from him.

    Wow. Seriously dude? Making fun of Jim Kelly for having cancer? Are you even a fucking human being?

    Yeah, the cancer thing was out of line. Every other part of his post was correct, though.

    And you thinking that McNugget was our most talented back pretty much renders your opinion of runningbacks laughable. Fucking guy has the skills of a wide receiver and went to USC so he could start at RB.

    even if he is wrong, he isnt off by much...and you certainly cant knock anyone for chosing us last.

    we have a power runner who hasnt been very healthy and a 3rd down back who hasnt shown much. we dont have a game breaker or a guy who can take the rock 20 times. neither is a threat in the passing game and to top it all off our line isnt anything special and our horrible passing game allows teams to gang up on the run.

    anything above 27th in rushing should be deemed a success

    :lol::lol::lol: This guy. At least he's humorous about his hate for every single aspect of the Jets and their management. 4th string RB. :lol:

    Powell and Bell have looked the best so far. I'm hoping that Ivory was just being held back due to preseason and limits.

    Part of the difference is probably also that teams look run more than pass with the Jets than they do with the Saints and Drew. Lets face it, the QB's on the Jets hardly scare defenses currently and won't scare defenses until they show they are capable. No team fears Sanchez, and currently no team fears Geno.

    It's a lot easier to run if teams are playing nickel defenses all the time instead of stacking the box.

    From pre-season , I think thats what is going to happen. We weren't exactly lighting it up in the running game

    I absolutely think he has more talent than Goodson, Powell and ivory. Doesn't mean he's more polished or better. I was just saying he was the most talented.
