you have to remember he will probably split carries with greene in new york, i believe that would be the deciding factor.

That was my thinking too. Who's he most likely to take carries from, Adrian or Shonne? (sp)

Yes, but if AP keeps putting the rock on the ground.. I think sooner or later he will be watching from the sidelines for extended periods.. opening the door for someone to carve a chunk of playing time out on a regular basis.
If I am AP.. you better realize the slippery slope that could lay ahead if he continues his trend.
Lets throw some numbers at it..
Last season the Jets gave it to their featured runner (Thomas) 331 times.. Greene got 108.
Last season the Vikes gave it to their featured runner (AP) 314 times.. Taylor 98.
Those numbers seem like a wash.
In the receiving game AP caught 43, Taylor 44.
In NY... Thomas caught 10.. Greene 0....
To me.. if I am LT and I make a pretty good living catching the ball do the Jets make sense? Unless they think he can provide that for them?
The Vikings seemed like the better fit.. maybe Fin got a hold of AP and convinced him to sign with the Jets... lol.
