The New York Jets made their first “big” signing of the off-season today by locking up former Oakland Raiders running back Mike Goodson to a 3 year, 6.9 million dollar contract. This is a decision Jets fans should be happy about. Why?
You just saw two things we haven’t seen in the Jets backfield in a LONG time, a successful screen pass and speed. Here is what you need to know about Goodson
- He has very good speed, shiftiness and hands. Goodson is a one-cut runner who will fit very well in Marty Mornhinweg’s offense.

- In a limited role last year, Goodson had 35 carries for 221 yards with a whopping 6.3 YPC. He also had 16 receptions for 195 yards. Despite only having 51 touches, he had four plays of over 40 yard...

For Rex Ryan, it won’t be easy telling the world with a straight face that the 2013 Jets will be the “most talented” team that he has ever coached. Like he did last season, before the spotty 6-10 club showed what they really were. Ryan’s one year sentence for believing, while criminally playing a role in the miscalculating over the past few seasons, is that he will have to...

If you need further proof that the Jets will not have Mark Sanchez starting at quarterback, just look at the move to let Dustin Keller go to the rival Dolphins. Keller in many respects was Sanchez security blanket in the Jets offense. Sanchez had a comfort level with Keller. When a play would break down Sanchez would fall back to Keller. There has been rumblings of the Jets being...
