Good....yes, I think so, but truthfully, Washington concerns me a little more.
Great, as NY press is saying....NO WAY.
The 8 year vet., had a very average career until landing in Chicago where he had close to three consecutive 1,000 yard seasons. How much of this Chicago "greatness" was a result of the Bears "O" line and being paired up with the younger and more solid Cedric Benson and Anthony Thomas before him?
Sure, he did look good against us last year with the Bears, but, again, how much of that was due to the Bears line and blocking schemes?

Jones doesn't worry me against our defense--I consider him a second tier starter, but still a 1000k rusher...if he stays healthy
tomorrow--Wilfork owns the line of scrimmage--Jones is going to have to figure out how to get through the exploded LOS with Adalius and Seau holding the line behind Warren Wilfork and Green...Colvin and Vrabel setting the edge...
man we have talent up front

I think TJones is a good RB that will help our offense in many ways. Is he comparable to Curtis Martin? No way, not even close...But he's a good RB that can take at least a solid 15-20 carries per game that will allow us to bring in and use Leon as a 3rd down and scatback.
I think it'll be interesting to see how Mangini/Schotty utilize the two backs and their depth at WR. I'm thinking we may see some formations where both TJ and Leon are in there, with possibly a FB as well.
This might be a good time to say to ganggreenman ...
that i find him a good contributor here.
Sometimes irritatingly acerbic ... but that's understandable when you're in enemy territory, way outnumbered.
It's nice to have his angles
as an antidote to our own doting adoration.
Well the good news is that both Clark and Bender are known for being very good run blockers. The bad news is that neither can protect the QB.
yeah i figure he'll be a 1,200 yd back this season. I think little leon will provide more excitement and Big plays for you guys though. jones will be the guy pounding for yds.

Isn't Jones still recovering from a calf injury that made him miss the last 3 exhibition games? If so, Sunday's game may not be a true test. In addition, I think the Jets OL is not up to par with the Bayiz run blockiz. In compensation, Penny is a much bigger threat than Grossman passing which should open up the run.

Jeez, you pats fans have to stop flip flopping...One one post I know nothing and I'm ignorant...And on the next I'm the greatest troll to ever post here.
You people certainly are confusing me.
On a more serious note, I'm glad to be here, I think its good to get a rivals' perspective sometimes, and I'm glad I've been able to contribute.

According to most reports, if this happened in the reg. season he wouldn't have missed more then a game. So, the Jets were probably keeping him sidelined for 2 reasons: 1) To give the Pats less to go on and 2) To make sure he fully recovers before he gets reinjured...After all, it was only preseason.
How good is Thomas Jones??
