Shonn Greene is turning into our most important draft pick and quite frankly, one of the biggest reasons why we're in the AFC championship game. I love TJ but he's 31 and he has been wearing out at the end of this season. If we didn't have Greene after the Leon injury who would be getting these carries? Probably TJ but maybe Woodhead. Greene is simply a beast and yes he reminds of Turner.
TJ is going to break a big run in the playoffs, he's due. TJ was super important to us this year and I really like the way schotty changes them up every other series. It keeps shonny baby fresh. I do think this long mostly rush happy season has taking a toll on TJ though.
Face it, Leon may be back next year, but he won't be the same back as he's been in the past. Might be best to keep your hopes on Greene, TJ and Woodhead, as Leon will be a non-factor in the lineup. That injury is just too tough to overcome. He will not be the same..
Totally agree cman except one thing. This pick...might go down as one of the greatest picks ever for the Jets. Sims said it best when he said what surprises defenses is not his strength..his moves..but his break away speed. Thats what separates good backs from great backs. Even Curtis Martin...who had better moves than this kid...didnt have the break away speed like he has. A back that can run over people...and has break away speed...is a rare combo..and it equals greatness. This kid could be that good.
