Yup thanks for the correction, I forgot to include may be in front of creating. And I would suggest the what I have bolded in your response might be an assumption on your part depending on who you asked in the organization. But hey at the EOD the predicament our BB's find themselves in right now is not just a defensive tackle issue but knowing most things start in the trenches its an important part of the larger discussion.

I see our scouting department has entered into the discussion now. 🙂

I understand what you're saying but teams who win championships set the tone that average, not playing terrible ball is not good enough so its not just JT obviously in where we are at this year. But because we are specifically talking about him its really obvious that trotting him out as a starter game in and game out is helping set a certain tone and even worse creating some tension with other players who are stepping up and/or with players who are sitting on the sidelines wanting their chance. And yes @Bigblue204 championships are not won or lost in July you are correct sir but they sure are an important stepping stone in getting there. 🙂

I'd add the hands on hips breathing deep in and out.

I think its a win/win in taking a swing on RM. If he pans out, sometimes you have to go on a hunch/chance depending on the context. If he doesn't pan out it provides a concrete example for future prospects of why the Jets usually err on the side of development not entitlement.

And confusing as hell. No matter how they twist themselves into a pretzel justifying this, they move even closer to Argo level suck.

My guess is their camp packages it as he's a confident kid who believes in his talent (i.e., needn't compete for a spot), a fierce competitor, wants to win and will go thru a wall for his teammates. I say in this particular case call him on it, take a swing with him and if he doesn't produce send him down to the AHL where he can adopt PLD's approach to the world that it isn't him that is the problem it's someone/ something else's doing as to to why he didn't produce. There is great risk in giving him a roster spot right out of the gate (e.g., how other players in the system will legitimately feel/speak out) but in this case I think this approach with this particular player is needed for a variety of reasons that could benefit the organization longer term.

I'm assuming he's the nicest guy on the planet that everyone loves and adores (which is great btw) but even us lay people don't have to be walked thru game tape to know he should not be on the field. His time came some time ago to shift to something else whether its in football or not.

Yup way overrated. Giving the opposing QB additional steamboats won't be an issue at all.

Yup they played off each other so well. It felt like you were in the room listening to them banter back and forth having real conversations with genuine insights using humour to drive points home. A lost art for some in the business now, it feels more fake, needing to get likes and punching down when it serves their purpose. I know I know okay boomer though I am a X'er. 🙂

A prick that plays to the line versus a prick that plays past the line. Huge difference.

I’m with you on this spotlight. Show some humility.

I’m quoting your ‘ding dong’ reference you used for a poster above @Booch You pulling out oldies out of nowhere is comedy gold. Keep up the good work.

Will do ding dong (Booch, 2024). Please don't ban me. I'll go back to lurking and just focus on the football discussions, promise. 🙂 Go Blue.

Journalism at its finest.

Four games in (didn't play last game) plus lasts year GC, I still have hope ZC trends upward in some capacity (not even thinking next year) but that hope is obviously taking a hit in the 'what have you done for me lately' culture of professional football.

That would be hard to believe. Maybe the Jets asking price is a bit hefty to date.

This would be an interesting stat for say the last 20 years. A stat being what is each teams track record in who they have signed with significant checkered pasts, who they signed who did something significantly nefarious while in their employ and retained or released them. One of the debates here is deciding on what’s significant and drawing that line and deciding how much is it their responsibility to help rehab the behaviours of said player. I’m thinking we’d get a wide variety of opinions on this matter.

It’s just simple logic that some just can’t seem to understand.

The best broadcasters, radio personalities are the ones who converse in their normal voices. That’s just a fact.

Yup great guy. Just his time. All good. Great career. Time to shift.

He actually talks football not just football cliches.

Exactly true. 🙂

Yes, yes it does.

14-4 is still on the board.
