Heard from a good source that Steven Jackson...

[squidkid]

i call BS on this for a few reasons
we have no money
he turned down 7 million. i find it hard to believe thast he will play for much less
he wants a shot at a superbowl................we really have nothing he wants

lets draft a young guy in the middle rounds

[pittpete]

Maybe we can sign him and Willie Parker and they can split carries

Seriously though, I'd rather see them take a run at Shonn Greene. That kid's a violent runner. And he and the Jets had such a down year, I bet he'd be more affordable. And he has far less mileage.

I said this a few months ago about Greene.

OTH, If we could get Jackson, I'd take him in a heartbeat
Guy was banged up all year last season and still ran for over a 1000.
Violent runner that wants to win NOW

[NJ-STEELER]

Shonn green is not a violent runrunner

the jets liked the other kid cause he ran harder (forgetting g his name right now)

Greene is a huge tailback at 235 pounds. He is tremendously powerful and rarely goes down on first contact.

Great frame and bulk for a running back. Physical and powerful style of running.

He doesn’t shy away from contact, and rarely goes down on the first hit. He can juke like a dervish or plow ahead like a minesweeper. Given his size and power, some have even suggested him as a FB/H-Back although an H-Back should have established good hands.

Scouting reports out of college.
Every game I saw I thought he ran hard.
You being from Jersey, you might know more about him than I.
I'd take a 2nd chance on him if he came cheap.

They can sign people. Cut Colon after 6/1, re-work Troy and Woodley.

Bang, instant cap room.

LOL, I was gonna use Ladanian... but, i'm right there with ya... I like Shonn Green...

The jets fans I know we're not happy with him. Their ground and pound offense suffered when jones left. They thought Greene would be able to pick up the slack.

Greene is just another plodding 3.5 ypc RB. The Steelers already have 2 of those.

[BigRob]

I have a ton of respect for Steven Jackson but I'd prefer they try to snag Chris Ivory from New Orleans.

He received a 2nd round tender from the Saints. Ain't happening.

that's all Steven Jackson would have been with the offense the Jets have... week after week, the opposing D-coordinantor says, "Sanchez and Tebow? YAY! 8 in the box!"

[Mister Pittsburgh]

Whats Peter Parker doing these days? He's got some sticky hands... could be useful over the top, or at CB..

Pretty sure he is talking about Parker Posey from Dazed & Confused.

Ray Parker Jr... I mean... "who ya gonna call?" Besides him?

[MeetJoeGreene]

I have always really, really liked Jackson. I would take him .. but he realistically only has a couple more good years and I wouldn't want to get saddled with long term cap damage... that being said.. if it can get a another Lombardi .. go for it.

[jj28west]

Would it be unfair to compare him to an Eddie George with body type and style of running?

Hearing the #Packers and RB Steven Jackson have been talking about a three-year deal. Working on details.
