    He's not a pile pusher, but he can punish defenders one-on-one. He won't move the line of scrimmage at the goal line the way a guy like Jerome Bettis once did, but I guarantee you the guys who have to take Thomas Jones to the ground on sunday are glad when the game is over.

    He did struggle to get going earlier this year, but I think it was more of a group thing. They made some changes to the running game this year that apparently took some time getting used to, but they've hit their stride pretty well by now. It's a shame that the Jets couldn't have pulled off just one more win against the dolphins or jaguars, because to be just hitting your stride with this kind of rushing attack in December is a recipe for playoff success. We just might not be a playoff team.

    Def., it's frustrating. He's a very good RB, he's broke a long run in just about every game he's given touches it seems. But fumbles are awful.

    me either. the guy is nothing but consistent, always healthy, almost never fumbles.....

    jets fans are just greedy and get upset if he's not AP or chris johnson. that's why we never really appreciated Curtis until he retired
