LT surprised me early on...lately he looks tired, and changing up runners
can create an advantage so I think starting Greene, let LT come in on
passing downs and in an empty backfield...and let McKnight try some
stuff...their defense has some injuries...it needs to be hit with more than
it can think about.

I expected to see LT as the featured back...to me, it fit in with the Favre
deal and what I still think Woody likes...a big name and splash. I'm very
pleased Greene didn't break, that was my fear with him. I'd still like to
have had TJ on the team. I love that type of runner.

I guess we don't really know because he just didn't play that much...not
like the every down type back. But also, we don't know if he is the kind of
guy who will simply get better and better with more carries and gets into a
rhythm. Perhaps the coaches could not see that in any practice situations.
I still like the TJ type guy...along with some outside type speedsters...the
league is such now that you benefit from some different type runners. BB is
very good at making that happen, and he uses guys according to their talents
and abilities. I just feel like there are so many wasted downs with the
Jets at times, plays called where you knew it wasn't going anywhere, we
don't really know what they could do given the right situation.

To me it is simple...what happened to ground and pound, beating up the
defensive line?

Precise summary of a failure to to use the right players at the right
times.

Why do you see this, and only a couple others? I just don't see how some
guys think this was a good plan.
