No true sports fan can revel in injuries or wish them on another team. You guys still have a good team, an excellent defense and perhaps an emerging star in your rookie back so relax and see where the season takes you. Those who are jumping off the bus or chanting "same old Jets" aren't the people who put their fannies in the seats on a cold December day and root for their team no matter what. I wish you good luck except, of course, when you come to Foxborough. Hey, I told you I was a Pats homer.

Simmons is a Boston fan and his favorite "Ewing Theory" example is one I cited: Bledsoe almost gets killed by Mo Lewis and unheralded 2nd year and 6th round QB, Tom Brady, comes in and leads the team to a Super Bowl victory. If Shonn Greene continues to run like he did on Sunday (and it was one of the great rookie performances at RB over the last few years), will anyone here be lamenting Leon's loss? Maybe it should be the "Stephen Stills Theory": "And if you can't be with the one you love honey Love the one you're with" alex m-

It wasn't just a RB option either, he was back there scanning the field for seven seconds and hit Joey Haynos, who dropped it, one of several Miami players guilty of that in the 4th quarter. The reason Brad Smith hardly ever throws is because he has a lousy arm. Although he played the QB position at Mizzou, he was more of a running QB and probably even has an inferior arm to Brown.

THEY ARE ALREADY RUNNING THESE PLAYS. They were just doing it with Leon taking the snap for some reason instead of Smith. I wouldn't mind if they eliminated the Seminole, but my point is that if you're going to do it, it makes more sense to have an All-American college QB taking the snap than a lifetime RB. You don't agree? alex -

In the first half, they rushed for 11ypc on First Down. Cable should be fired for that gameplan, Jamarcus the turnover machine throwing on the first play of the game from his own ten with Jenkins out is a crime. Jets would have won anyway, they were the better team, but the coach never gave them a chance Raiders averaged 3.3 ypc before this week, 6.9ypc vs. the Jenkins-less Jets.
