PushthePile Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 The Jets look stacked right now. 1. Dominating O-line that is especially good at run blocking. 2. NASTY defense that adds Kris Jenkins and Cromartie. 3. Hugely talented receiving group that consists of Edwards, Cotchery, Holmes, and Keller. This group could hang with any group of receivers in the league. 4. Head Coach that the players love and play hard for. Good coaching staff as a whole 5. Good mix of RBs even without Thomas Jones. Shonn Greene should be the workhorse and he showed the ability to be really good last year. LT and Leon Washington are versatile compliments to his power. 6. The team is full of leaders and guys that hold other players accountable 7. Big game experience 8. Draft picks still intact ...... IMO Sanchez only needs to progress a moderate amount and this team runs away with the division. Provided they stay somewhat healthy of course.

In fact, the reality is they have shizzle loads of tallent. All I'm saying is that it's not a forgone conclusion that they win the AFC and go to the SB. Many teams in the past have tried to go this route- big flashy free agents.... only to fail. If the Jets buy into the media hype going into the season (which something tell me that Rex Ryan will have his players eating it ALL up) and they drop a few early games (or lose a big game against an AFC team), this team will be headed for trouble.... and the fingerpointing will begin. I also think losing T Jones is really going to hurt this team. He was a workhorse. Greene showed the ability to come in for Jones as the number 2 back and perform very well. Can he be the number 1? The O line is very good but aging. Can they stay healthy. Yeah, probably they make the playoffs (esp with a good draft), but I still say that they are only a 11-5 - 10-6 team.

Red Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Or they're borrowing a strategy from the cross river buds, the Rangers. If Stanley Cups were awarded on paper each July, Rangers would have a lockdown. On paper, Jets got a lot better. Too bad there are so few cases of stockpiling so many modestly productive primadonas into a cohesive SB winning team. Yeah, the Redskins most recently seemed to have scrapped that formula of signing big names in the hopes that they still produce. LT, Cromartie, etc could all gel and rocket them to the top. Or, LT could prove his age, Cromartie can allow off field distractions such as not being able to keep it in his pants subtract from the play on the field, and Coach could blow an emotional gasket. Not to mention that the proverbial injury bug could always sneak up and knock somebody out for a prolonged period of time (like Sanchez) and all of a sudden the poster boys have become trailer trash. It's 16 games guys, the draft has not even occurred yet and I would rather the Bills build to last, and not to be a quick burn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
