    I didn't see one and he deserves it! About the ONLY bright spot on offense! I'm glad he found the fountain of youth because if Greene doesn't cure his hands and attitude it could be a long season for LT. Talk about pop in his step. I was very impressed and I'm wagering if Sanchez could pass further than 5 yards tonight the run would have really be a bit more open!

    Congrats to the "old man"!

    Come on, Mezz: let's spell the guy's name right in the appreciation thread. :)

    EDIT: You remember that quote from Hard Knocks "nobody on the offense is willing to say 'gimme the ball, I'm going to take this game over?'"

    LT is going to be that guy.

    He's got plenty left in the tank. Now instead of just running him up the gut let's use him creatively. Have him in the slot, run some screens, get him the ball in space.

    And they put him in some tough, uncreative spots early on.

    Mangold and Moore seemed fine, but that's just what I could tell from a mile away.

    L.T. Looked good tonight, but I didn't feel like he was used well in the 2nd and 3rd quarters. There were a lot of power plays and I'm not sure that's the best way you want to attack a 3-4 like the Ravens. I think the zone runs are a lot more effective and that's where he got his 2 big runs in the 4th.

    With Greene I just didn't like his body language after the fumble. For one he didn't really get in and try to fight for it, and he just seemed to mentally check out of the game after that. I agree that they should have given him some touches though, but as a pro you have to always keep your head in the game. Hopefully the kid will bounce back strong. I have a good feeling he will. I know for a fact LT has more confidence and belief in this kid than anyone he's ever played with in the backfield. He has to put this game behind him.

    Fuck man, Im glad LT is here on the Jets getting some love fucking guy deserves it... The whole game i was watching Ryan Mathews get 3 yards, dropping passes and losing fumbles and causing Rivers to fumble i was thinking
    " That LT guy looks pretty good right about now"

    Cromartie looked good on the pick but jesus man he took the ol highschool football mantra of "grab cloth" a little too seriously. After a while it looked like he was getting crappy calls just because he was holding earlier.

    your guys run defense is the fucking shit man i was a little skeptical of the Taylor signing but it looks like he just made an already scary run D alot fuckin scarier..

    Ray Lewis is a fucking beast lol, figured id throw that out there.

    Cant complain and I was pretty skeptical of how effective he would be when we signed him

    Tomlinson was far and away the best and most dependable player on offense last night

    (which, to quote "Waiting", is like being the smartest kid with Down Syndrome....that's right, I quoted "Waiting").

    No disrespect intended to LT, but I still miss Thomas Jones.
