Shonn Greene, LT and Leon Washington (I know he's rehabbing, but for sake of discussion he's back to 100%).

Marion Barber, Felix Jones and Tashard Choice.

I say we have them beat.

But I know there are going to be people saying the Jets have the best threesome in the league now.

I will say this. They have a better O Line.

Their O-line shatters our O-line.

They are smart. They got their O-line drafting out of the way. Now they're set up pretty nicely.

It's what happens when you dedicate multiple high picks to a position. Dallas' best OL were all drafted in the 2nd round or higher; unfortunately the last success was in 2002.

Ain't no coincidence that the best OL's end up contending year after year.

They only drafted two of their starting five - Ferguson and Mangold.

I take any combination of our 3 over Shonn Greene who will never become an elite back, a washed up LT and a rehabbing/Fully healed Leon Washington, add in the 3rd of our backs and its a blow away.

This is a true statement. Their free agent acquisition of Alan Faneca and their drafting of Nick Mangold were very smart moves.

This year is the year that we do what you need to do in order to win in football - build inside out. Start in the trenches and build from there.

So did we.

And both Center and Left Tackle too.

felix>washington, choice=green, barber< LT

its pretty much a wash maybe a slight edge to us because of felix.

barber may have more in the tank but both will most likely be redzone/4th quarter backs this season and LT can still find the endzone thats why i say barber< LT

If Barber bounces back to 07 form than LT, at this point, cant hold his jock.

and if LT goes back to 07 form only 3-4 RBs in the league can hold his... but neither is likely to happen

We haven't quite figured out how to draft offensive linemen yet. Now we're basically up **** creek with half a paddle.

If only the Colts hadn't pulled their starters. :banghead:
:laugh2: seriously. The Jets weren't a playoff calibre team last year. And they won't be next year either IMO. LT is no longer a difference maker.

your kidding?
LT. 3.3 yards a carry
Barber 4.4

Yep, Barber > LT.

My breakdown aka the r2a breakdown aka the breakdown that makes sense;
Felix>Green, Choice=Washington, Barber>LT
