Could the Lack of Receiver Depth Be a Blessing?
Gang Green Nation —
... The strength of the offense is the running game. The team has a power offensive line, an elite three running back rotation, and the game's best fullback, Tony Richardson. It also has an offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenheimer, who did not seem intent on using this strength to its full potential a year ago. Instead the Jets used a lot of gadgetry and rode a 39 year old arm. Maybe not having a top end receiver will reinforce how Gang Green should rely on its strength, especially with a rookie under center. ...

Pruneda made it through training camp only to be cut on August 28th, 2007, right before the season started. He went to the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad, then the 49ers before drifting off into oblivion and now the UFL.

Childress Comes to Favre's Defense
Daily Norseman —
Remember those comments Ray Edwards made on ESPN a couple days ago? Long story short, Edwards reacted to Brett Favre having a personal locker room in New York by saying, "If you don't want to share a locker room with [your teammates], that's kind of b.s." Well, Chilly came to Favre's defense on Friday while also jabbing Edwards:
"I talked to [former Vikings fullback] Tony Richardson, who was [Favre's] teammate at the Jets, and he had nothing but great things to say about him. Did I ...

Around the AFC East, Week 6: Backfield Rankings
Gang Green Nation —
... A backfield also includes the fullback, and the Jets have the game's best lead blocker in Tony Richardson. He is not much of a threat as a runner like a Le'Ron McClain, but the team does not need him to carry the football with such great talent at tailback. Gang Green only needs Richardson to utilize his terrific athleticism to clear the path for his runners. Jones, Adrian Peterson, ...

Rams will face a Jets team without several key starters to open the preseason

... of camp), CB Darrelle Revis (hamstring), C Nick Mangold (knee), and RT Damien Woody (head) will all spend Friday's game on the sidelines.
Last season the Jets had one of the league's best running games - 5th best with a 15% DVOA according to Football Outsiders - evidenced by a 1300+ yard, 13 TD season from Thomas Jones. But let's face it, you and I might have had a 1,000 season running through lanes opened up by Mangold, G Alan Faneca and FB Tony Richardson. Richardson could also miss this game with a hip ...

With Woody, Faneca and Mangold out tomorrow night, the Rams will have something more closer to a practice session than facing off with one of the best run-blocking units in the league. They might still have blocking FB Tony Richardson ready for this game, but he's ...

Jets 24 Texans 7: M-A-R-K Mark! Mark! Mark!
Gang Green Nation —
... The Interception: When you have a 17 point lead in the fourth, you can't force passes, especially when Tony Richardson is open in the flat. It's all part of the learning experience. With any rookie (or some seventeen year veterans for that matter), there will be plenty of moments where you want to bury your head in your palms. Again, the important thing wasn't the mistake. It was how he bounced back. I was also impressed with how he laid out his body hustling to try and make a tackle. In the end, you need to be lucky. The Jets largely were today. The ...

The Saints have a good defense, but it's time for the four first round picks on the offensive line to do their job. Sure, they've been facing eight man fronts, but a team with high caliber players should be able to execute. It's time for these guys to start blowing the opposition off the ball like they did a year ago. Also scrap the three receiver sets. The Jets are only giving Sanchez Jerricho Cotchery and Chansi Stuckey's reads. Get Tony Richardson in there to block instead of sending out a decoy ...
