Cheech Tremendous 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 Who plays RB for the Jets this year? Do they have anyone who can carry the ball 15+ times? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaMarka 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 Derrick Blaylock was an ok backup for Priest Holmes a few years ago, but he isn't a feature back. The Jets should consider trying to acquire Chris Brown or Thomas Jones or something. Additionally, the Vikes first round pick (Chad Greenway?) supposedly tore his ACL on a punt return.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted August 15, 2006 No way the Bears will trade Jones. Benson's unproven and questionable due to injury, and Peterson, while capable, is not a starter on any team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 I was unaware that Benson had never been hit at Texas. He made it through 4 years in college without ever getting hit. In the NFL he seems to get broken anytime anyone touches him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted August 15, 2006 Wouldn't surprise me if he ended up being an injury-ridden total bust. They don't especially have good luck when it comes to first round RBs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jones ain't being traded. Chris Brown is unlikely because the Jets would have to give up draft picks for him. It's not worth it since the Jets will be horrid this year, no matter what. Other than that, there's nothing better than Houston/Blaylock available. Houston did a solid job in the last few games of the season. I say give him the shot. And Blaylock was an effective backup in KC. Use him in 3rd downs, or whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted August 15, 2006 The Jets did acquire Lee Suggs for CB Derrick Strait though I'm not sure how much of an upgrade Suggs is over a Cedric Houston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lightning Flik 0 Report post Posted August 17, 2006 Duckett will definitely be an upgrade. Although considering how quick the Jets went out to find another RB, Martin is likely done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
