Reviewing the AFC’s moves so far, Adam Schein gives the Jets a mixed reaction. Schein makes no apologies for his admiration of Thomas Jones, and it shows in his analysis.
JETS: Mixed bag
General manager Mike Tannenbaum stole Antonio Cromartie by trading a 2011 third-round pick. Call it a creative heist, as the Jets don’t have their full complement of picks for this year’s draft. While Cromartie is coming off a down season, the upside is for the Darrelle Revis/Cro combo at cornerback to be the best in the game. I have no idea why the Jets cut the physical Thomas Jones. Under the circumstances, LaDainian Tomlinson in Brian Schottenheimer’s offense is a great fit. And I think L.T. will be a bit reborn behind the Jets offensive line. But again, why create the void by jettisoning Jones?
Two reasons, Schein, and they apply equally to both sides of the issue.
Money and pride.
I find this comforting actually. I used to live in syracuse when Schein tried to be a radio announcer there. For various reasons I was lucky enough to know the SU bball team personally. Drinking, hanging out with them regularly. I can 100% verify everything he says has been extracted from his unwashed rectum. Nepotism got him his job and will continue to be his calling card.
I don’t care what the stats say. LT is a better all arnd back than TJ. He still managed to punch in more than 10 tds in the redzone, and he actually catches the ball out of the backfield.
At worst LT would give us the same production TJ gave us which every1 seems to b happy with.
We couldn’t even rely on him to win the game for us when Greene went down
I’m actually more worried about the kicking game then LT (2nd/3rd) string RB.
Who’s going to punt Weathorford? Who’s going to be our kicker Feely or Folk?
Bent, you can easily customize the feed to include or exclude any sources you want if you don’t like Bleacher Report.
I didn’t realize this, Dallas, thanks. I’ll let Bassett know.
