QB- Tanny- he got better in some areas. Had more yards and TD's this season but he also had Wallace to help him out9plus Gibson for a while)Did not show progress in his long passes. Missed sure TD's to Wallace at least 6 times or more plus missed other open targets as well. I'm not giving up on him just yet but I'm not sure he's the guy. Hard to tell at this point. He had no o-line or running game most of the games but those bad misses had nothing to do with it.
RB-Miller- did not improve at all. Was not a factor in the passing game and was horrible at pass blocking the blitz.
Thomas- Had ONE good game. Did not improve and was a wasted pic.
TE- Clay- not really a TE, more of a HB but he did improve. Nice eason for him.
TE-Egnew- lol
LT- Martin- do I need to say anything?
LG-Incognito- do I need to say anything?
C-Pouncy- Made the probowl but had a better season in 2012......missed a couple of games and was a part of an o-line that gave up 58 sacks.
RG- Jerry- did not make any progress
RT-Clabo wasn't with us last year
WR-Hartline- had about the same kind of year he had last season as far as yards but had 3 more TD's. Benefited from having Wallace on the other side.
WR- Mathews- made some nice progress
Wallace wasn't with us last year.
DE-Wake- made the probowl on reputation but didn't have his best year. Missed some games and played hurting in others. Had some nice games but was invicible in others
DT-Starks-Soliai-Odrick- all 3 had better years in 2012 imo. None was great this year. Actually all 3 were very average and part of a pretty bad run defense that starts with them up front.
DE-Vernon- made some progress but ended up quiet. Still, I give him some props.
LB's. Misi was about the same as last year
Wheeler and Ellerber were not here last year(more on the new guys later)
CB- Grimes was not here last year
CB-Patterson- injured once again.
CB-Carrol- Startes cause we had nobody else
S-Jones-regressed big time
S-Clemons- about the same as last year which isn't much
So we had Clay made some real progress on offense and Tanny made some progress.Hartline increased his TD production. Everyone else was the same or worst. Pouncy had a decent year but not better.
On defense we had Vernon with progress and everyone else was about the same or worst.
Now for the new guys/ positions.
Wallace was brought in to be a #1 WR and to score TD's. He did help open up some things for others. Not the year we were hoping but not his fault Tanny missed him so many times for sure TD's. So a WR spot was progress over what we had last year.
Keller was gobe before the season started. Had he played he'd have help but Clay would not had developed as much. Please don't come here telling me that Keller would have 800 yards on top of what Clay had. You can't have it both ways. Had Keller played it'd have diminished the role of Clay.
Gibson was having a nice year but got hurt. Mathews stepped up and mde a contribution but had Gibson not gotten hurt, Mathews would not had played much on offense.
Grimes- a real improvement over one of the corners we had last year.
Wheeler and Ellerber- clearly a regresion on both spots.
Draft pics- We moved up(and use an extra 2nd) to draft Jordan. Yes he has talent but was hurt in college and we don' know what position is really the best for him. I know we need to give the rookies time but at #3 you want a guy to come in and make an impact and he didn't. Time will tell if he becomes an impact players.
All the other pics couldn't even get on the field. We drafted 2 DB's that were hurt in college so 3 of our top 4 pics were hurt in college and the other can't play for crap.
Overall we saw good progress with Clay as far as receiving and we made progress at one WR spot with Wallace over last year. The oline was worst this year and so was the running game.
On defense we saw progres at one corner spot with Grimes and some progress with Vernon. The pass rush was worst this year and the run defense was one of the worst in the NFL. Regressed big time at LB's. The D-line regressed too,specially playing the run and the safeties were crap.
With all the money we had tospend and 5 pics in te first 3 rounds we ended up with Wallace and Grimes making a real contributon and getting nothing from the bunch on injured players we drafted.
Imo, Ireland needs to go. Philbin couldn't get his team ready to play the last 2 weeks needing only ONE win to make the playoffs. The players were flat and made no plays while the jets played as if tey were trying to save Rex's live.
Philbin needs to go and Sherman with him. We won one more game than last year to finish 8 and 8. Some will say we improved cause we won one more game. I failed to see thi amazing improvement they're talking about.
Ozzy rules!!
