I doesn't help us.

[BILLSROCK1212]

I doesn't help us.
Think of it like this...LT comes, Thomas Jones goes, is it still a loss??

[Slim]

I think LT could have some success in NY. That being said it's Greene and Washington i'm more concerened about.

[Michael82]

:ill:

[Saratoga Slim]

If true, they basically replaced 31 year old Thomas Jones with 30 year old LT.

Unless the Jets think LT complements Shonn Green better than TJ in terms of what they want to do going forward, I don't think it's a significant upgrade.

[BillsWin]

Of course it hurts us. Free agency is like chess, and you are playing against the other AFC East teams. They are moving their pieces across the board while we are stuck in position one. It doesn't matter who they add the point is, they are adding people and we aren't adding anyone.

To be honest, I don't mind it. We are rebuilding right for once. I will wait until after the draft to freak out.

Where's your website at man?

5 or 6 years ago yes it would have hurt, today, not so much.

i think LT behind that OL will spell disaster for the Bills and make them more dangerous on offense. he's not the old LT physically but he's not done as a football player just yet.

I think the loss of Thomas Jones is much worse for them than the signing of LT is a positive.

why? because he 1400 yards and 14 TD's last year? Omon could be a 1000 yard rusher behind that line.

[dplus47]

It doesn't seem to make much sense to me. Thomas Jones has looked better than LT for the last 2 years, IMO. Maybe Jones wasn't so happy sharing the ball? I don't really get it.

[BertSquirtgum]

i think LT is over the hill. he took too many lumps in san diego. i don't think he's going to do very much in NY. i feel the jets think they found something in greene.

[SirMcGee]

As long as their offensive line stays intact (especially Faneca, Mangold and Ferguson), it doesn't really matter what RB plays with them. They'll make an average RB look great. Tomlinson will definately be a threat behind that line.

Nah. Their running game will be the same as last year.

Maybe Oman could be a 1000 yd rusher behind that line. LT, I doubt he could get a 1000 behind that line he is as sure to be injured as Trent Edwards.

Now that's scary stuff for us Bills fans.

This doesn't appear to be a done deal just yet (Sunday, 4:15):

[Buffalogic]

Who cares. The jets with another crowded backfield...Leon will be back next year and green will be the primary back. LT will barely see the field.

Jets looking to make trade for wide receiver with Brandon Marshall, Dwanye Bowe on radar

LAST YEAR!

[DynaPaul]

He's not an improvement over Thomas Jones so it's a push. LT is still good but he definitely isn't the amazing LT of old.

[sdbillsfan2]

LT is a definite class act but I don't see his personality fitting in NYC. That being said , I don't think he'll be much of a help. His durabilty will be an issue and the competition in the AFCE is much tougher then the AFCW.

thanks man, a friend sent me this...i was fooled- phew!!

[BillsWin]

Where's your website at man?

Haven't had time to update it in a while. I am going to be at the draft though, I may update it from there. I was going to post something about the Bills being interested in Porter, but Blame Canada and espn beat me to the punch. Beyond that, I havent heard much about the Bills, so updating the site would be a waste of time.

[BillsWin]

I have heard however that the Bills took a LONG look at Cody at his pro day.

A classic Jets move to make money off of season ticket sales and jerseys (a la Brett Favre)

As if the TO signing wasnt the same thing for the Bills?

[Nighthawk]

That's a pretty stupid move for LT if he wants to go to a team close to winning the SB? I'm sorry, I don't buy into the hype of the Jets being that good of a team...and I especially don't buy into the hype that they are close to winning the SB.

[BILLSROCK1212]

OF COURSE IT WAS!! I'm not saying it's a bad thing-it's GENIUS.

[TheBrownBear]

LT is done. He was crap in 08 and he flat out sucked in 09. He's got nothing left in the tank.

[CuseJetsFan83]

pass catching + goalline touches = lt this year.... washington may not be fully ready by training camp so thats the reasoning behind this signing in my opinion
