Leon Washington broken leg... (1 Viewer)

How does this affect the Jets?

Who will take over for Leon on kick returns?

Will Greene steal a lot of touches?

Will Thomas Jones get a larger workload?

This will not affect the jets much, considering a) they didn't really use him to his strengths anyways, and b) we have shonn greene to play his role in teh running game, and looks like he should servicable. TJones will still carry the load. Not saying greene is leon calibur player, but they just didn't use leon properly anyways, so they won't be missing that dimension he brings, as he was not given the opportunity to bring it. As far as returns, we have capable players to fill into that role. Tough loss, but at the same time not really...

Jeez....Shaun Ellis also left the game - Bart Scott, as well as ClowneyDwight Lowery is a return guy and could be good...Greene looked good in this game but, I'd guess TJ's workload goes up...Damn, It happens to teams every year and I guess it's the Jets turn for the injury bug.
 
I bet the contract issue will only hurt his open market value.... I expect the Jets to offer something similar to what they offered for him to stay...

Gotta look at the #'s again but, I think Leon should have taken the deal he was offered. He was looking for big time / full time money and considered himself in MJD range... Umm, no.

What players do when agents make them over value themselves is open up risk to injury like we see here as well as losing out on the bump in salary in the current year.

 
OUCH!!!

not a Leon owner, but still wish him the best possible recovery.

but the timing sure sucks regarding his career.

 
I feel very bad for Leon. The rumor that I'm hearing is that while Greene will certainly start seeing an increase in carries, they might move woodhead back to running back and have him as the 3rd down back, since Greene is an awful receiver, and Jones is nothing special as a pass-catcher.

 
The Raiders. He gets hurt, of all weeks, against the RAIDERS.

When I saw the 38 points, I was sure that I would log on the site and see, at least, 15 points from Leon. Instead, he gets hurt THIS week.

Great...

I actually think TJ is a better than average receiver. I don't see Woodhead as the answer, but it would be pretty cool to see that guy make an impact if he did get the call to varsity.

TJ used to be a great asset in PPR leagues when he played for the Bears. He has proven that he can catch the ball. In his time in NY the team always had Leon as a better reciving alternative, so TJ never saw many opportunities. I would expect his targets to increase but his carries to remain flat with Greene picking up Leon's share.

Woodhead is certainly capable of filling in on kick returns, so I think he'll see action there, but I agree that he is unlikely to take over 3rd down back duties.
 
Someone should pin this thread and reference it anytime people gripe about players holding out in preseason for better contracts.

 
At least he took out an insurance policy to protect against injury... I'm curious to know what the payout is.

Considering they did that during the game, it would make sense.I think Thomas Jones only stays if he takes less money
