BlindZebra Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Well owners ... is there any news on Leon Washington assuming the starting role in Jetsville? I would be great to swoop in while this news is fresh and pull him off the wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CowboysDiehard Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 I hope so, I've already stashed him away in two leagues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 No news, but I am a Washington owner and have gotten two trade proposals within the last two days...both of which I turned down -D.Branch + J. Wiggins for Washington (I don't need Wiggins) and I loved this one -Kevan Barlow for Leon Washington (why doesn't he just try to get Wash for someone else and cover the Jets backfield?)

DemonKnight Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Martin has been practicing with the team and comes off of the PUP next week... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) Martin has been practicing with the team and comes off of the PUP next week... That is not official. They have not made any announcements on what they will do. I will say this though...if CuMart does return say goodbye to Barlow...Washington would still be the 3rd down, pass catching guy and CuMart would be the goalline and first and 2nd down guy. I think CuMart hurts BOTH Barlow and Wash, but totally destroys Barlow's value, assuming he has any left.

BlindZebra Posted October 10, 2006 Author Share Posted October 10, 2006 MY OPINION --- the backfield by committee is the worst thing to ever happen to fantasy football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muck Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Any news on Brad Smith? IIRC, they've lined him up at QB, RB and WR ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebdog Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 IMO, wait for Cedric Houston to get back. He'll take the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernus Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Curtis Martin could be a very good bye week filler if he came back this week...too bad it's next week.... I'll try to get Washington for the time being.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lhamp Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 (edited) Martin has been practicing with the team and comes off of the PUP next week... That's complete bull. He is ELIGIBLE to start practicing with the team next week. He has not been practicing with them. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football...2p-387156c.html Edited October 10, 2006 by lhamp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rovers Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Martin has been practicing with the team and comes off of the PUP next week... lhamp is correct, and you are full of chit. He is NOT permitted to practice while on the PUP list. Go troll elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 IF Washington gets the gig I will have to consider sitting Bush in favor of him as my #3RB flex spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sully907 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 I picked up Martin a few weeks back in case he does start playing again.I currently have barlow but am unable to get washington,not sure what the hell im gonna do for a 3rd RB lol.

RussMan Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Kevan Barlow-RB-Jets Oct. 11 - 10:46 am et The Jets reportedly do not feel Kevan Barlow is the long-term answer at the running back position. Rookie Leon Washington's stock continues to rise. The Jets reportedly feel Cedric Houston, currently out with a knee injury, is a tough runner but not a featured back. Barlow could be cut after this season. Source: Newark Star-Ledger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Leon Washington-RB-Jets Oct. 11 - 10:56 am et The Jets are expected to run outside more in Week 6 to avoid Dolphins run-plugging interior linemen Dan Wilkinson and Keith Traylor. Leon Washington is New York's best option to fill an outside-running role. He's a workable flex play if you're handicapped by bye weeks.

junebugz Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 IF Washington gets the gig I will have to consider sitting Bush in favor of him as my #3RB flex spot. Dillon and Maroney didn't exactly have a stellar game against Miami ... of course, the way the season is going, maybe that was a fluke.

DemonKnight Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 10/11/06 12:25 PM THE NEWS Although nothing has been made official and many still believe Curtis Martin may never play again, the Newark Star-Ledger reported Wednesday that the veteran will attempt to return to practice next week, when he's eligible to come off the physically unable to perform list. "The Jets aren't sure if Curtis can do it but out of respect for him, they're going to give him every opportunity," a person with knowledge of Martin's rehab told the Star-Ledger. "They feel they owe it to Curtis. They want him to retire as a Jet and go into the Hall of Fame as a Jet." Our View Call us crazy, but that doesn't sound like a very optimistic outlook. Martin is still battling a "bone-on-bone" condition in his knee, which stems back from the knee surgery that ended his 2005 season early. Whatever the case, Martin will have 21 days to work himself into playing shape – assuming he's healthy, which is taking a huge leap – before the Jets have to either put him on the active roster or place him on season-ending injured reserve. We'll keep you updated on C-Mart's status, but we continue to urge caution. In other words, don't drop a player with potential to help you in the near term just to take a chance on a guy who faces long odds of returning to the playing field this year. I read an earlier update on fanball that said that he was practicing. My bad for not knowing the in's and outs of the PUP rules. This is thier update as of today.
