...is a fullback masquerading as a halfback imho.

He has no shake, he speed has diminished since his rookie campaign, and if a defender is five yards away coming at him you can rest assured Shonn is going to go hit him. He is a good back, however I don't think he should be number one, I don't think we have a number one on the team right now. He just lowers his shoulder on every carry, no stiff arm, no jukes (or at least a shimmy of some sort). This combined with the fact that he has a tendency to run into his blockers at the LOS makes me wonder just how well our running game is going to perform this season. I would not be surprised to see the Jets fall back into passing first if Sanchez gets time like he did last night.
