Thomas Jones could be next to get the boot

Thomas Jones is getting old, and is above average at best. 2.6 ypc avg compared to Shonn Greene's 5.6 ypc avg with Greene having MORE carries.

He's 31, might as well get some picks out of him while they still can. They still have one of the best run blocking o-line's, as well as their all-pro, insanely talented fullback Tony Richardson. They'll be fine without him.

jones had over 1400 yards and 4.6 yards per career during the 2009 season. where did those numbers come from?

post season, where he really showed his age.

also: during regular season he had 4.2 yards per carry, which is a respectable number, but not good enough to be resigned at his age.

I can agree with that. but don't you think they could get some value out of him? hes 31, but hes had 5 straight 1,000 yard seasons

I'd have to agree that someone out there might spend a pick or 2 on him.. Chargers have the little man (Sproles) as their #1? I'd say Jones would be a good fit there..

Jones had his career start late, so there is debate on how worn out his legs are -vs- his actual age.. His last 5 years are good, and I think there are teams out there who might spend on him...

I also think it would be a good move for the Jets to get rid of him since they have 2 very capable backs and free up some cap space/roster spots.. If they can get value, that's an added bonus..

If they have no one worth keeping on the roster more valuable in some degree than Jones, well,... a 3 headed RB core never hurt... Especially since Washington went out and Greene/Jones was a good combo...

But anytime you can get value or free up a roster spot for a much needed player, is always a bonus when someone is expendable..

you do realize the man was 2nd in the league in carries. after Washington went down he was the work horse. look im not saying they shouldn't get rid of him. But hes better than LT at this point. and if they release him, he'll find work within a week of free agency

def agree..

just saying... he's expendable.. get some value and put the Washington/Greene into gear.. If it's not worth it from the F.O. stand point and they don't need a roster spot open, then keep him..

I'd take draft picks for him in a second though...

of course he's better than LT. I'm not arguing that he's a bad running back. I think he's slightly above average, and agree he'll have no problems finding a starting role.

What I'm saying is for the Jets it's best to move on with their 2 very capable RB's that are cheaper than Jones.

if we could get value for Stew, id love to sign TJ

oh god no. keep double trouble going until D-Will starts losing a step, then let Stewie take the reigns as the #1.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
