If it is the players, then why not suit your system to the players until you have the correct personnel?\u00c2\u00a0 If it is the system why not change it until you have the correct players to fit it? Funny it appears to be almost the same questions and answers.\u00c2\u00a0 On offense it appears that Cedric Houston (before injury) and Leon Washington continuously give the running game a spark and the offense some productivity.\u00c2\u00a0 So why does Kevan Barlow continue to get the bulk of the carries?<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\n<!--more-->So what is the reason for the Jets struggles? Is it the systems being implemented prematurely?\u00c2\u00a0 Is it the players under-performing?\u00c2\u00a0 Maybe the personnel is not being evaluated correctly? Or are Jets fans being spoiled with the early success and demanding too much out of a team that is merely overachieving?\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00a0<br \/>\n<strong>Tidbits:<br \/>\n<\/strong>\u00c2\u00b7\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Great to see Shaun Ellis getting into the fold with a couple of sacks and bringing some life to the D Line.<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Justin Miller sure does give a huge cushion to wide receivers?<br \/>\n\u00c2\u00b7\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The Jets kicking game is coming along and Graham is really developing into a heck of a punter.\u00c2\u00a0 Nugent\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s kickoffs are still weak hopefully not by design.<\/p>\n<ul type=\"disc\">\n<li>Can Brad Smith get more reps at wide receiver yet?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Tyson Rauch The 2006 New York Jets have shown its fan base many things in the early part of the season.
