The Jets felt that the addition of Thomas Jones in a trade with the Bears would give the offense balance….but he didn’t play well.  Jones played in 16 games (14 starts) and he carried the ball 310 times for 1,119 yards (3.6 ypc) with 1 TD run.  He also caught 28 passes for 217 yards (7.8 avg) with 1 TD grab.  Jones has now played in 116 games (77 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 1,659 times for 6,503 yards (3.9 ypc) with 35 TD runs.  He also has caught 243 passes for 1,593 yards (6.6 avg) with 1 TD grab.

Leon Washington had a decent season for the Jets but he’s to small to be the main ball carrier.  He played in 16 games (4 starts) in 2007 and he carried the ball 71 times for 353 yards (5.0 ypc) with 3 TD runs.  He also caught 36 passes for 213 yards (5.9 avg).  Washington has now played in 32 games (12 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 222 times for 1,003 yards (4.5 ypc) with 7 TD runs.  He also has caught 61 passes for 483 yards (7.9 avg).

Converted college QB Brad Smith pitched in on offense for the Jets in 2007.  He played in 16 games (9 starts) last season for the Jets and he carried the ball 12 times for 45 yards (3.8 ypc).  He also caught 32 passes for 325 yards (10.2 avg) with 2 TD grabs.  Smith has now played in 32 games (12 starts) in his NFL career and he has carried the ball 41 times for 386 yards (9.4 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He also has caught 30 passes for 148 yards (4.9 avg).
