Gotta love it. Jets are in for a rude awakening, not that Jets fans aren't expecting any less. I can sense a lot of SOJ threads on TGG this year. What's even funnier is they think they have had a great offseason when in reality they haven't. Somehow losing a 1400 yard rusher and signing a washed up RB is an improvement. Somehow losing a decent safety in Rhodes and signing an average, concussion prone safety in pool is an improvement. Somehow Cromartie is going to shut down every #2 WR in the league, when in reality, he's an average corner who's been pretty bad since 2007. I'll give you guys Holmes, for a 5th, you got a very good #2 WR, but he's a jackass, who's suspended the 1st 4 games. Keep telling yourselves you've had a great offseason though, when the fact is we have had a much, much more productive offseason.
Brodney Pool is a better FS than the Dolphins currently have... He is supposingly concussion prone but he said he has had 1 real concussion, he has migraines that run through his family and is now on new medicine. Pool if he can stay healthy will be good, hes not afraid to tackle like Rhodes and is more athletic.
Cromartie is a better CB than the Dolphins currently have.... In 2007 his best season he had one DC, the next 2 years he had a different DC and scheme. He didn't fit in the zone schemes, he wasn't bad last year either. 70 QB rating against and 2 TD allowed. 2008 he was but he played with a hip fracture. On the Jets he'll be playing to his strengths, Rex and Thurman always loved Cromartie since he was a prospect and felt he had the best DB workout they ever saw. He'll thrive, book it.
That 1,400 yard rusher you guys called overrated last year, now that hes gone hes amazing. He was reliable but the OL made his success really. Shonn Greene is a better runner, just has to prove he can stay healthy.
Santonio Holmes is suspended for 4 games, you are right. Getting a 1,200+ yard WR for a 5th is a steal. Hes a play maker and makes the big plays in big moments. He likes his pot, shouldn't be illegal anyways. He still has been arrested less times than Brandon Marshall. I am thrilled to match Holmes up with J-Co and BE, make a deadly trio. Not to mention Dustin Keller at TE and Leon/LT in the backfield catching the ball.
The Jets have had a great off season so far, can't wait to see what they do in the draft. We are set up to take best available player, especially if we do end up with Jason Taylor. If we do that I hope we get Devin McCourty in round 1, make us have the best CB corps in the NFL. We'll match teams with multiple WRs much better than last year.
