So with 2009 winding down and the team about to enter a new decade with a new stadium and high expectations. I thought it was the perfect time to look back over the past 10 years. As I like my college football, and my draft discussion, I thought the biggest 'busts' or maybe more accurately 'biggest disappointments' were a great place to start. Several factors will be considered when going ...
The whole Kerry Rhodes saga has unravelled and unravelled fairly quickly in front of our own eyes, their have been several angry comments aimed at Rhodes on here over the past week or so, and some that have questioned him to no end (some of them made by yours truly), but I thought that Rhodes made baby steps in an attempt to resolve the issue yesterday with a few of ...
I'm not sure what the rest of you were thinking last night as Sanchez dived head first between two Bills players, smashed his knee on the ground, and two plays later left the game visibly shaken.
Knucklehead was pretty close for me.
"I love the kid, but he's got to grow up and understand he represents our entire organization," Ryan said. "We want what's best for him."
When Gary Myers asked Rex what ...
Many Jets fans questioned the selection of Vernon Gholston ahead of Marques Murrell for the home tie against the Miami Dolphins. Well if we are being honest I didn't hear many objections until after the loss.
The logic of the questions was valid, why select a player who does very little on defence ahead of a player who does very little on defence but a lot on special teams. It made ...
I have heard a lot of very strange things this year regarding the Jets, but today took the biscuit: people questioning Mark Sanchez and hypothesising that we would be just as good with Clemens and questioning whether Rex is the right guy to lead this team, a massive eight games into their tenures.
First, let's get the record out of the way, this year we are a .500 team. If ...
I have to say that while I was sitting enjoying a Jets victory for the first time in weeks, I barely took notice when the camera panned to quarterback Mark Sanchez having a quick little snack on a hot dog. I had a little chuckle to myself and commented on it to a few friends, but otherwise I just passed it over as being another sideline surprise.
Just like a few ...
Can The New York Jets Accomodate The Loss of Jenkins
Posted: 21st October 2009 by David Wyatt in NFL
The loss to the Buffalo Bills this Sunday was a blow, a crushing defeat that highlighted everything that every Jets fan worried about coming into the 2009-2010 season.
The quarterback was a rookie, the head coach was a rookie, the depth on the offensive line and defensive line are questionable, the receiving core is not deep enough, and with the free-spirited friendly figure taking over from the disciplinarian fatherly figure, ...
For me, the two losses have come as a result of one bad game from the offense and one bad game from the defense, so we are all square now, all tied, let's move on and put some good performances together.
First of all, give credit where it is due. Miami played their game; they neutralized our strengths and highlighted our weaknesses. I can't say enough for the game planning and ...
Braylon Edwards Completes New York Jets’ Offensive Puzzle
Posted: 7th October 2009 by David Wyatt in NFL
I'm sure all of you have heard by now that the New York Jets have traded for star wide receiver Braylon Edwards.
Can I use the word star? Maybe that's pushing it just a little bit, but he certainly has the potential to be just that.
I delayed writing this article because I wanted to really read through everyone's opinion: NFL analysts, Jets fans, Browns fans, scouts. I wanted to hear ...
I don't intend for this to be a long article because I really want to get peoples' opinions on a subject that has been debated a lot during the NFL season so far. The subject being trash talkingùwhat it does for the game, how it effects the game, and how much significance it has.
We can look at the taunting on the field as a type of trash talk, the type ...
