http://www.jetsdaily.com/2010/01/strickland-weatherford-may-not-play.html Now, with just one game left in the season, it's time to take a look at some statistical milestones the Jets can reach this season. *RB Thomas Jones is 2nd in the AFC in rushing with 1324 yards and 12 touchdowns. He won't lead the league in either category, but he is just 11 yards away from his career high in yards, set in 2005 with Chicago, and he is one touchdown away from tying both his career high and his own single-season Jets record, both set last season with 13. *QB Mark Sanchez is 119 yards short of 2500 in his rookie year. *LB Calvin Pace, DE Shaun Ellis, and LB David Harris are battling for the right to be the team's top pass rusher. Pace has 7 sacks, Ellis 6, and Harris 5.5, so any of the three could lead. Pace missed the first four games, making his total more impressive. Harris leads the Jets with 126 tackles, 81 solo. *LB Vernon Gholston needs one sack to have one in his career. What a bust. *The Jets defense leads the NFL with 15.7 points allowed per game. Baltimore is 2nd with 16.5, so the Jets should win that category barring a miracle. Same goes for yards allowed, where the Jets are first in 264.3 yards allowed per game. Green Bay is 2nd with 290.9. Finally, the Jets are 1st in passing yards allowed per game with 163.9 yards per game. Denver is 2nd at 184.9. *Offensively, the Jets' running game will face a stiff test for NFL supremacy. The Jets currently lead with 166.6 yards per game, but Chris Johnson and the Tennessee Titans are 2nd at 163.9. You can bet the Titans will give Johnson the ball early and often to try to get him the single season rushing record, so Jones and Shonn Greene will need to play well to hold off the Titans. The passing game isn't so hot, though, as only Oakland and Cleveland throw for less yards per game than Sanchez and the Jets. Thank goodness for Eric Mangini yet again
Such good fortune for Gholston to suck balls but the team has two OLBs who make up for the pick. Imagine if he had to be out there all the time?
I try not to think about shit like that....I can't afford the Zoloft prescription to sustain that line of thinking.
I appreciate the post, but I don't think anyone gives a shit about finishing the season as the #1 rushing offense.
Being the #1 rushing offense means more if we missed the playoffs because it would be great for SOJ purposes... Otherwise, it means squat.
Barring a miracle? The Ravens are playing the Raiders that we beat 38-0. It's not unlikely that the Ravens give up 3 and the Jets give up 17. A miracle would be someone catching up in yards given up. Patriots are only 15 points off and the Cowboys 14.
How about we slow down a bit and try to make the playoffs first, bud. Also, amassed playoff stats aren't added on to regular season totals, so the argument of 1 game to go as opposed to anywhere from 1-5 games to go is irrelevant to the purpose of this thread, which is using regular season stats.
take a breath and think. What rookie QB has even won a SB? wait a couple of years. this team isn't ready yet.
If he was out there everygame he'd have a sack by now. Im sure he would of accidentally tripped or got pushed into the QB or something.
I guess I miscalculated that a little bit, but I'd be shocked if the Jets allowed more than 17 points this week against likely the Bengals' backups.
It's a little rediculous how much of a bust Gholston has turned out to be. It's suprising how somebody with such a physical gift, and a huge contract, can have an "I don't care" attitude. That's why I think Gholston is going to do something amazing for this team, like come up with some kind of sack/strip fumble to win a big time playoff game.
