I can't waiiiit to see our running game next year. If winters steps his game up or gets replaced and brick goes back to old form... man oh man.
That bolded statement couldn't be more true. The Pats have effectively been using offense to play run D for awhile now. I've noticed Pats games tend to be blow out wins, or real close contests. You can almost always tell by the 1st quarter which way it'll roll. If they get up 14pts in Q1, then the D becomes the most effective playing one dimensionally to contain the pass.. It also takes a lot of opponents who try to run a balanced offense (like the Jets, Dolphins, etc) right out of their comfort zones. If you limit Brady on his first few drives, you have a whole different game on your hands.
The Jets aren't planning to use CJ as a primary back expected to carry to load. If they did, well the Titans fan might have a point. He's there to compliment Ivory and Powell and I think that's good because Powell just isn't an every down back and the way Ivory runs, well I think to keep him most effective, don't let him be the primary RB all year. On top of that, Johnson should be the best receiving back on the team now. Get him in space, and watch out hopefully. I would be interested to learn about his blocking. I was reading on twitter he used to be bad but now is passable as a blocker. That should be good enough for the Jets.
He's not here to carry the load, but he will definitely be our "feature" back if we have one. Ivory will play the role of Greene (before Greene was the starter). Powell will barely factor in (maybe 10%?)
Johnson almost never helped the Titans win games. If he did he'd still be with the team. He wasn't cut because of money.
Do you know how easy it is to get 1,000 when you're force fed the ball? Johnson was not a good running back the last 4 years. If you don't watch the Titans on a regular basis then you have no idea what you're talking about. And if you do watch the Titans on a regular basis and still think he's a good back then I don't know what to tell you. There is a small minority of people on the Titans board that still think he has it so I guess it's possible for someone that watches him play every Sunday to think so. What you and the other Jet fans do is watch the highlights, get excited by his potential based on what a very small sample of plays show you, and assume that you're going to see those plays while ignoring the vast majority of his plays. That Jets-Titans game in 2012 was a great microcosm of his career. One huge run and absolutely nothing else.
If he wasn't cut because of money they would not have asked him to renegotiate his contract. That seems pretty straight forward that money was a big part of the issue.
The Titans will probably be superbowl contenders now that chris johnson isn't holding them back anymore.
Yep, addition by subtraction, they actually gained a football player by not having him on the team. Interesting to see that TNTitansfan abandoned his stat analysis so quickly since it was the basis for his argument.
OK, you keep with the "Johnson was not a good running back" and claim Greene is better but when all the stats are placed in front of you all you have is, "Do you know how easy it is to get 1,000 when you're force fed the ball?" Why don't you stop telling all of us how much of the games we watch and think of something else to post because you have posted the same thing half a dozen times already. Just so you are aware, NFL Sunday Ticket has been around for the entirety of Johnson's career, this isn't the 80's when we had 3 games to watch on Sunday without any choice, we get to watch them all..
Revis almost never helped the Jets win games. If he did he'd still be with the team. He wasn't traded because of money. pretty easy to sound stupid. every team has fans that do their best to do so.
I really don't think he is trolling. I just think he's bad at this and failing to make an intelligent argument. We have plenty of people on this forum that do the same thing.
The back and forth argument surrounding CJ is pretty moot. The Jets brought this guy in to be a home run hitter...not to run the ball 20-25 times a game. In fact I'd more call CJ an H-back at this point. They are going to try to get him out in space and toss him the ball OR you will see him on those option sweeps. I just do not see them feeding him "up the gut" types of plays when that is C. Ivory's bread and butter. Just thinking out loud.
I've heard that CJ had a bad year last year because of his kneecap needing surgery, and that he was unhappy with the o-line. I don't know if the Jets' o-line is really much better in terms of run-blocking, it seems like almost all of Ivory's yards were after-contact. Maybe Breno will help in that department. I know CJ wasn't particularly good last year, but he was also playing with an injured kneecap for the great majority of the season. There's a good chance that after healing up, he will be more like the 2012 CJ than the 2013 one. If he ends up struggling terribly and declining even from his 2013 self, then the Jets don't have to use him heavily, and they can still part ways after the year. But if CJ ends up returning to 2012 form- he'll be a potent threat who could break free for random huge runs and even TDs. Of course, the times he goes for 1 or 2 yards- that's going to happen more often than his 10+ yard runs. But he still does have that "home run potential", where occasionally he will have a big gain, and that's a nice thing to have if you're a team that is mostly focused on running the ball. I see some significant upside potential with the CJ signing, and limited downside, so I think it was a great move.
Exactly...MM has 3 or 4 headed multioffense that can get us to a post season and with some luck a SB. The CJ signing is a big link to this success. This fall will make a lot of people on this board say "told you so".
I haven't thought anything you've said up until now was foolish, but this statement changed that. Johnson was a cap cut.
This was the part that got me, from his first post. Basically he is saying that his team's front office threw a ton of cash at a guy that can't play football. He's obviously a homer, and has proven it with every post since then.
