Why would he want to come back to the Jets? Why stay here and get 1 or 2 carries a game when you can go somewhere else and get 15? It's sad to say but Mangini could be the reason why Leon leaves.
I disagree. Leon can return kicks anywhere, and nobody really cares that much about being a returner. He'd much rather get the offensive touches. Reggie Bush and even Devin Hester return kicks but prefer playing on offense, and get more touches on offense.
Let him leave, look at Lamont Jordan once he left the Jets he was exposed and sucks. Leon will get injured making 40 carrys a game, he needs to make 15 carrys and do special teams.
No one is saying that he should be getting 40 carries a game, that would be idiotic... but he's not even averaging 5 carries a game on the season. That is also idiotic.
that was a bad example... he is a complimentary scat back with HR capabilities and a KR. The idea is to put the ball in his hands 8-14 times a game, to give TJ a rest and to change the pace of the running game. Its too obvious of what needs to be done.
