Man, the hatred against Woodhead never ceases to amaze me! The kid has done nothing but set college records, Jets preseason records, NFL day stats which would make Bo Jackson blush, and in his only carries this year, he impressed with a 16 yard carry.

What’s the hate for? Give the guy a chance at recieving out of the backfield or as a 3rd down back, reciever ect. Hate hate hate!

I don’t care about his rep.

All I care about is his history. Two years of being drastically over used, followed by two and a half years of miserable production.

He’s clearly done. Pass.

majasko,

Name me one positive about this guy. He quits on his team. He talks negatively about his coach & organization. He averages 2.7 yards per carry. He’s 30. He had 2500 and 37 TD’s in two season, from ‘05-’07, and has 1791 and 8 td’s in 3 seasons since (including this one).

Jones, meanwhile, has 3135 yards and 21 td’s in that same time span. And don’t give me the “his line is better” argument because in 2006 the Jets had the worst offensive line in football.

I’ll keep my hard working, blue collar workhorse RB who pounds defenses like waves hitting the beach, rather than bring on a spoiled, negative, egomaniac who puts himself before the team.

Got to love my fellow Jets fans. mention any player and instantly there’s a rush to disparage him. It’s always plays out the same; he’s a cancer,can’t play or it’s the old fall back let’s stick with what we have, because all of a sudden every player on the team is or will be a pro bowler! well we heard some, not all of the above this summer when Miles Austin was talked about, I wonder where all those future Gms are today.

I not even saying LJ should or shouldn’t be picked up but! a little less neg. hyperbole would be refreshing.

Jones is 8th in the league in rushing and Johnson is going to turn 30 in a week. I don’t think this is a move they’ll really consider, because it’s not like Johnson brings a new aspect to the backfield. We already have two hammers (Jones & Greene) and adding another power back will just give us more of the same.

However, if we can get him on the cheap in case we make a playoff push, then maybe that’d be something to consider.

I think LJ is a good back but he has to much baggage. The jets are pretty solid at running back even without Leon. If you sign him which one do you cut at the end of the year. I Think TJ has proven that even with his age he very valuable to this jets team we must keep him and leon and get them a contract.

IMO we are very tight from a cap perspective in 2009, I just don’t think we have the room without cutting some one. If we could squeeze Larry in, it would make any other emergancy move almost impossible for the rest of the season

SIGN HIM ASAP!!!!!!!!!! I don’t want to see New England sign him and then he runs through the Jets defense when they’re probably playing for first place in two weeks…The Jets can’t count on Greene and Woodhead to back up Jones…Also, Jones is older and will tire towards the end of the season…The Jets will need someone else to help carry the load and they can’t count on a rookie (Greene)…Larry Johnson is still under 30 and he’s still got a lot left in the tank…He just needs a change of scenery (like Edwards and Moss in New England)..Johnson was the best running back in the league just a couple of season’s ago (with all due respect to lt)…Having Johnson will also force Schotty to call more running plays and the Jets can become the smash-mouth team Ryan desperately craves!!! It’s a win-win situation…Do it already before Belichick does and Johnson runs the Patriots to another Superbowl!!!!!!!
