LaDainian Tomlinson is showing that he has a lot left in the gas tank so far this year for the Jets.  He has carried the ball 22 times for 138 yards (6.2 ypc) and he also has caught 6 passes for 42 yards (7.0 avg) in his first two games of the year for the Jets.  Tomlinson had all of that production against teams with stout defenses (Patriots & Ravens) which really shows something.  He was supposed to be the #2 guy behind Shonn Greene but he has really outplayed him so far.  Greene has carried the ball 20 times for 70 yards (3.5 ypc) and he also has caught 2 passes for 17 yards (8.5 avg) so far this year.  Tomlinson will likely keep his current workload as long as he keeps playing well.

2nd year running back Shonn Greene will likely carry the heavy lifting in the running game for the Jets in 2010 due to the expected release of Thomas Jones later this week.  Greene played in 14 games during the regular season for the Jets in 2009 and he carried the ball 108 times for 540 yards (5.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  But, it was his playoff performance that really led to Jones’ release.  Greene rushed for 304 yards on 54 carries (5.6 ypc) with 2 TD runs in three playoff games for the Jets last year.  He also caught 2 passes for 28 yards (14.0 avg) in the playoffs.  I think Greene will rush for over 1,000 yards for the Jets in 2010 as long as he can stay healthy.

Rookie running back Shonn Greene has been the Jets’ main ballcarrier in the playoffs and he is looking awesome.  He has carried the ball 44 times for 263 yards (6.0 ypc) with 2 TD runs.  He has also caught 1 pass for 4 yards.  Thomas Jones has carried the ball 29 times for 75 yards (2.6 ypc) with 1 TD run this year.  It will be interesting to see how the Jets handle the RB situation in 2010. 

25-year old WR Brad Smith can do a little bit of everything for the Jets.  He has played in 8 games for the Jets this season and he has caught 4 passes for 41 yards (10.3 avg).  Smith has also carried the ball 5 times for 54 yards (10.8 ypc) so far this season.  Smith should get the ball in his hands more especially on the trick plays as he always seems to get a few yards when he touches the football.  Smith also helps out on special teams as he has returned 2 kickoffs for 53 yards (26.5 avg) and he has also made 6 tackles this year.

31-year old RB Thomas Jones is seeing his workload increase since the injury to Leon Washington and he is still playing at a high level.  Jones has played in 10 games this season for the Jets and he has carried the ball 191 times for 884 yards (4.6 ypc) with 8 TD runs.  He has also caught 6 passes for 49 yards (8.2 avg) this season.  The amazing thing about Jones’ continued production is that he is often facing defenses with extra guys in the box because Mark Sanchez is not scaring anyone with his right arm.  Jones has now played in 42 games in his three years with the Jets and he has carried the ball 791 times for 3,315 yards (4.2 ypc) with 22 TD runs.  He has also caught 70 passes for 473 yards (6.8 avg) with 3 TD grabs with the Jets.  The Jets need Jones to keep up the good work the rest of the season.

Inside linebackers David Harris and Bart Scott are the tough guys of the Jets’ D.  Harris has 65 tackles, 3.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble, 1 pass defensed and 1 interception so far this season.  The Jets rejected the idea of trading for Broncos’ WR Brandon Marshall when the Broncos wanted Harris and a draft pick.  That was a smart move for the Jets as Harris just thumps running backs racking up a lot of tackles.  Bart Scott came over from the Ravens along with head coach Rob Ryan as a free agent and he has been solid for the Jets.  Scott has made 52 tackles, 7 tackles for a loss and he has 1 sack so far this year.  Harris and Scott is a outstanding duo to have in the middle of the defense and the Jets should keep them together for a long, long time.

24-year old CB Darrelle Revis is a real lockdown corner this season for the Jets and he is only getting better.  Revis played in 6 games for the Jets this season and he has made 26 tackles, defensed 8 passes and he has 1 interception.  He is one of the biggest reasons for the success of the Jets’ defense this season but teams will start throwing the other way soon.

Jerricho Cotchery has always been a good receiver for the Jets but he was always the #2 guy behind Laveranues Coles who is now with the Cincinnati Bengals.  Now he is the #1 guy for the Jets and he has been excellent this season.  Cotchery has caught 18 passes for 285 yards (15.8 avg) with 1 TD grab already this season.  He has developed a good rapport with rookie QB Mark Sanchez as he has earned his trust.  Look for Cotchery to turn in a huge season for the Jets in 2009.

When the Jets were kicking the tires around on WR Brandon Marshall the Broncos said that they wanted linebacker David Harris for him.  The Jets were smart and told them to pound salt.  Harris has made 21 tackles, has 2 sacks, had defensed 2 passes and he has a interception already this season.  He is a run stuffer who can also make big plays on the edges of the defense.  A Pro Bowl could be in order for Harris if he keeps playing like he is right now.

Leon Washington is the busiest player on the Jets on GameDay.  He carried the ball 15 times for 60 yards (4.0 ypc) and he caught 4 passes for 24 yards (6.0 avg) against the Texans on Sunday.  Washington also returned a kickoff for 20 yards and two punts for 16 yards (8.0 avg).  The Jets will be creative in getting the ball in Washington’s hands as he is the most electric player on the Jets’ roster.
