Jets Flight Connections 121409

It is a good Monday morning, as the Jets won yesterday against Tampa Bay, thanks to a conservative game plan and a stingy defense.

The defense broke Tampa's will early on and dominated the game, although LB Bart Scott lost his cool at one point.

FS Kerry Rhodes also contributed.

QB Kellen Clemens did just enough to not lose the game by not turning the ball over, and Mark Sanchez staying home was a good idea.

WR Brad Smith helped out a ton on offense.

Tampa native K Jay Feely was the leading scorer. He and former Buccaneer RB Thomas Jones both had a good day.

Mark Cannizzaro grades the Jets.

The Jets playoff hopes went from Mission: Impossible to improbable and stay alive for the post-season hunt.

More connections after the jump.

Dump Kerri now...

And i would love for him to go to a division team. Bc every time they tried to sneak him into the box we would know he’ll find away to avoid making a hit.

Rhodes, the invisible man. 3 picks ( 2 vs Delhomme, 1 vs a rookie QB).

Because Jacksonville also have a breaker over us, so if they had won, they would be one game ahead and a breaker, where as we are all now level with both you having the breaker. If Jags won, we would of needed them to lose two, where as now we just need either of you to lose one if we run the table.

Thomas Jones is becoming one of my favorite Jet RBs...

“This is the best offensive line in the NFL. Every one of these linemen deserve to go to the Pro Bowl. Every one of them,” said Jones, averaging a career-best 89.8 yards per game. “We have guys that want to be great, not just good players. Every one of those linemen want to be great. That makes a big difference for a running back.”

My all-time Jet RB list:
1) Freeman McNeill (guy stole Al Toon’s Newmans gloves and gave him to me when i was in middle school; will always be my favorite for that).
2) Curtis Martin — found holes a mouse couldnt squeeze through.
3) Thomas Jones — hard-working, non-talking, consistent producing, class act. Another great year after this year and he might overtake Curtis in my book.
