Quite the varied day for Brad Smith

Seems Rex Ryan is starting to really use Brad's physical gifts, as he handled the ball in five different ways today. 1 pass, 5 rushes, 1 catch, 1 punt return, 1 kickoff return and a tackle to boot.

I missed the game, but it's been pretty obvious that they are

starting to use him in multiple ways. I think Brad’s hard work is starting to pay off, maybe not so much as a receiver as his coaches had wanted, but sounds like he’s Mr. All Around. That’s great for a real good guy. Keep it up Brad!

He had been seeing a lot of time on the field early in the year

though they were not going to him too often. Then he got dinged and missed a few weeks there, right as the Jets actually had their little swoon. This is as varied as I have seen his stat line, and it is good to see. NY still needs some playmakers come next year, but getting Smith involved in this way helps them and him (in case he looks elsewhere)

The Jets are sitting at 7-6 and still have a shot at the playoffs. However, they have a decently tough Atlanta team next week, followed by Cincy and Indy to finish. They could beat Atlanta without Ryan, but the game against Cincy is likely to have some playoff implications for Cincy. As for Indy to close the season…yeah…we’ll have to see :-)
