Rockerbraves Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Jets are at it again. Read today that Cedric Houston in now listed as questionable for this weekend and did not practice yesterday. Anyone know what's up? Is Leon next in line?

Vet Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 People who follow the team closely (more closely than me) are scratching their heads on this one. The common perception is that it's just monkeying with the injury report, as Mangini learned to do in New England. I lean toward agreeing with this. I think Houston will play. However, if he is hurt, I don't think Washington's role will change that much. I think Barlow will get more carries, but Washington will get just about the same amount of touches, maybe a couple more. When Houston was hurt earlier this season, Barlow got almost all the carries inside the 10 and was clearly the "goal line" back. I'd expect Mangini to go back to that formula again if Houston is injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I going to have to wait till game time before knowing one way or the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwolf68 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I just benched him and am now starting the legend himself, Ron Dayne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd be better off trying to figure out what Denver are doing in any given week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess it doesn't matter since it sounds bad with any of these choices. Maybe I should receive a coach of the year award for even getting my team this far.
