    Are you so easy to control, junc? Is that why you're so sad?

    I'm sad? I would like to discuss how he had a good game but people that do not undrestand this game will act like he has arrived and is this great player, like he did it in the SB yesterday instead of ina glorified exhibition game against a terrible team.

    I'm not a woodhead guy, I was fine w/ allowing him to leave.

    I hope this is a sign of things to come for Joe, I expected him to produce in meaningful action this year. That didn't happen and it was disappointing but I have said over and over I have not given up on the guy. yesterday was a positive step but I'm not proclaiming him to be a sure thing yet either based on that game.

    He won a game for Seattle, they won the division by one game. Who cares what the record was and who cares if they are one and done?

    Yesterday was a glorified exhibition game, if the game means anything joe is on the bench.

    this is fun.

    its always amazing when people want so badly to be right that they grasp onto anything even remotely showing promise that they could maybe possibly... probably not be right.
     
  4. I thought it was foolish the way so many were bashing Mcknight in TC. For whatever reason, many highly regarded RB's who went onto great things have struggled early as Jets. Lamont Jordan, Leon Washington and even Shonn Greene all come to mind. Mcknight unfortunately was targeted by the fan base due to the attachment to Leon...which wasn't fair.

    When Rex,Westhoff, etc started hinting that Mcknight was really improving in practice,I had a feeling that the only reason he wasn't seeing the field at RB was b/c Rex didn't wanna show too much of him before playoff time. Now I could be completely wrong about this and Rex could decide to lean solely on the veterans who are now well rested in LT and Greene. But I'd like to see a mix of green and Mcknight in the running game on first and second down while LT can concentrate on pass blocking, checkdown reps and moving the chains on 3rd down. This would keep Lt and Green fresh within their roles and Mcknight providing another big play threat who is extremely fresh(And extremely limited film for the opposition)

    I also would like to see Mcknight used in a Wes Welker/Wayne Chrebet type role in the spread offense.I thought cotchery would fille this role but he's turned out to be more of a tough intermediate route guy..than so a slot match-up nightmare. Mcknight could be deadly on crossing patterns...and could really give this offense a boost heading into the playoffs.

    Still, I'm keeping the performance on Sunday in perspective. This was a meaningless game against a terrible run defense..but still I believe Mcknight earned himself some more meaningful playing time, IMO

    Joe earned all the bashing. other RBs may have struggled but were they throwing up at rookie camp? did they fail their conditioning test after that at TC? No. and all 3 of those guys played meaningful minutes at RB during their rookie years and helped us make the playoffs in those years. I hope Joe becomes a reliable player for us but he hasn't contributed anything as a RB in meaningful situations.

    Great block! I know he was unblocked but he was still pretty damn quick.

    You mean we spent a 4th round pick on a player who only excels at special teams? Waste.

    I feel confident guaranteeing he sees a handful of offensive plays next week.

    Especially when the Jets are up by a lot of points next week.


    The Jags aren't going to do shit for once against the Jets.

    McCown can't read a Rex Ryan defense.

    It's funny how the two players most scrutinized about being here, Folk and McKnight, are the ones who came through for us in the end today.


    When will people learn?

    When will Nick Folk start making tackles and Joe McKnight become an undrafted free agent?

    Folk is really accurate in his comfort zone I don't understand why people hate on him. McKnight; got some.
