TJ needs a few more TD and the same amount of yards with less carries while Leon needs to have a lot more touches either in the running game or receiving. Teams with over 2000 yds rushing tend to have very good seasons... Just ask Elway and Aikmen! Curtis Marting eclipsed the 1500 yrd mark with the JETS two times.

Anthony,

Generic stats, in football especially, are hard to judge a team by. There are too many contingencies. If the Jets run for a lot of yardage, and a lot of carries, it is the best possible scenario-- it means they are not playing from behind as much!!!

Leon will take touches away from him, and Chatman may as well. I expect Jones to rush for around 1250-1400 yards, with 6-10 TD’s. Leon will take touches away from him, and Chatman may as well.

I wouldn't be too quick to project a dramatic increase in TJs TDs for the same reason, with Chatman, Musa Smith, Richardson and Caulcrick back there I would expect 10+ rushing TDs this year, but I don't know how many TJ would get himself.

Is this a fantasy forum or the jets blog? As long as he and the other running backs control the game and convert on 3rd and short and goal situations, I dont care what the stats are. Recent Super Bowl Champions: 2007 Pats- Maroney, 835 yds 2006 Colts- Addia, 1081 yds 2005 Steelers- Parker, 1202 yds 2004 Pats- Dillon, 1635 yds 2003 Pats- Antwan Smith, 642 yds 2002 Bucs- Pittman, 718 yds 2001 Pats- Smith, 1157 yds I think I get the point!!
