Yobogoya!

Wait how tf can you trade away a "projected" comp pick??

Just like with Von the year he was available for a super bowl push... will we move on a CB too late?

Hey we got a 5th for Cody Ford that one time.

I agree there's no way we'd bring him back to start over Dane or Benford. But we'd be one injury away from starting Josh Norman, so... if we can bring Wallace back to prevent that I'd make the move, personally.

Haha, true he's no world beater but year after year he beat out anyone we had compete with him for the no. 2 role. All I know is considering the recurring injuries and lack of depth at that spot, he's definitely roster-able for this team. That's true both now and last year.

We never should have let Levi walk, considering Tre was still rehabbing and we had no one else to start at CB except Dane Jackson and a hypothetical draft pick (which ended up being Elam). Considering the relative pittance the Steelers paid him, that was a real misfire.

Miami has constructed a team that's custom-built to easily shred below average teams. But as soon as they play a complete team with a competent defense, they get exposed.

If you're just trying to say that Johnson would be an upgrade over Benford / Dane and should start immediately, I certainly agree. If you think McDermott will immediately slot him into a starting position over either one of them if he were acquired, that's where I think it's a lot less likely than you do. I just don't think it's in his DNA to insert someone who has to "get up to speed" over a guy who has played himself into a starter role and has 2-3 experience in the scheme mid-season.

Ok I never said that McDermott "doesn't like INT's." What coordinator tells his defense not to intercept the ball if they can? I'm saying that he puts a higher premium on each individual member of the defense doing their part. I'm saying that if you don't understand the scheme and don't handle your responsibilities, he won't put you out there. A player that doesn't do their job won't have the CHANCE to intercept the ball. We've never gone after a player like, say, Marcus Peters. A player who is a huge ballhawk, but oftentimes to the detriment of the scheme overall. A player who is inclined to put his own stats above the team. Tell me, wise one... why do you think that is? Is it because McD "doesn't like INT's," or is it because he doesn't want a player to prioritize INT's over fundamentals? I'm not really sure what point you were trying to prove, honestly. Are you really going to try and say that McD doesn't emphasize understanding his scheme as a massive priority? That he won't sit a player who doesn't prove he can do that? The whole reason this trade thread is a thing is because he's benched a more talented player (Elam) for players who understand the defense and perform their role better (Jackson and Benford). Why are you acting like the point I made was ludicrous? Lol

You're thinking like a fan who wants to see big plays and the best players on the field, not like McDermott who routinely values system knowledge, responsibility and overall preparedness before everything else. I would certainly hope if we made a big time trade for a big time player that yes he would play sooner than later. All I can say is I hope we get the chance to find out!

So if the Bills bring him in now, what's the over/under on McDermott playing him pre-Week 15? In all seriousness, McD is the type of coach who wants a player fully acclimated to his system before he puts them out there. Even guys we've brought back who know his system inside and outside usually sit a week or two before he's ok with activating them for gameday.

McDermott's Doghouse is a mystery wrapped in an enigma. Getting in is a matter of much speculation, but getting out is like trying to navigate yourself to freedom from the Bermuda triangle. 🤷‍♂️

Rex Ryan once got Mark Sanchez to consecutive AFC championship games off the strength of his defense, and this current Jets defense is arguably stronger than that one ever was.

That was so bad. He even tucked the ball into his body instead of extending. Like wtf?

You can’t challenge it, but if you don’t waste your timeouts on defense the drive before you can call one and then make a big stink on the sideline to hopefully get a booth review.

Both of those timeouts were infuriating, especially the first one when an offensive pre snap penalty was all but assured to be coming there.

Lol the “defense” of that Hail Mary was pure comedy At least this team makes me laugh. Of course, if I stop laughing, I’m just gonna cry 😂 😭

Crap, there’s the patented defensive timeout ..

Letting crap teams hang around multiple weeks in a row will have that effect on a fan base w/ Super Bowl expectations

Is there any other variety of ref crew but awful?

If we punt here this defense ready to fold like cardboard isn’t it?

We love letting crap teams hang around huh

Good news is after the 35 mil he gonna make next year, we can move on with just a 15 mil dead cap hit the year after 😅

That’s the smoothest the offense has looked in a long while. Amazing how everything flows when you aren’t shooting yourself in the foot with negative plays.
