TuscanyTile2 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I love how the Namath thread turned out. How about a "New York Sack Exchange" thread. Post anything (doesn't have to be a pic and doesn't have to be about the unit as a whole) related to the sack exchange. I'm starting w/ a couple of pics.

Charlie Brown Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 We were a very good team then. I really thought we were going to win it all during their run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I have that autographed Sack Exchange Picture hanging in my office, the 4 of them on the actual stock exchange. Joe Klecko is the biggest reason I am a Jet fan. And for that, I love him. And for that, I hate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirorob Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 That was also one of the all time dumb moves by the Jets. You have the Sack Exchange. You blow it up, on purpose, to go to a 3-4. If you have no talent, sure you switch systems. If you have great talent for a system, you keep the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the reason so many teams in this league struggle for years and years. Bring in coaches who bring their own system in, takes 3 years to get rid of all the players some very good that don;t fit the system and bring in ones that do fit by that time they get fired, rinse and repeat.

I don't like Tomlin in Pitt. But he did that, he was a 4-3 Cover 2 guy who came in, had real good 3-4 players, and didn't screw with it. Kept the talent he had, and he has been rewarded for it.

Mainejet Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The dumbest thing I ever saw was a lot of posters talking about how the Jets were going to have another sack exchange this season. They weren't even close. All in all they sucked at rushing the passer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always liked Klecko more, but I supported Gastineau despite the antics, the late hit on Kosar, etc. It wasn't until he quit on the team midway through the 1988 season that I had enough of #99. That was the last straw for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't blame him for retiring to help Brigitte Neilson w/ her health. I feel like that's something up to the individual. He owed us nothing anyway. That was his real life.

The league did not start handing out sanctions for positive steroid tests until 1989. he didn't want to be outed as a steroid user. Quote Seven weeks into the 1988 season, Gastineau was leading the AFC with seven sacks when he stunned teammates by announcing his retirement; he said he wanted to spend more time with Nielsen, whom he feared had uterine cancer. It proved to be a false alarm. Years later, Gastineau admitted another reason he quit was that he was concerned that he would fail another drug test and that the public would learn he used anabolic steroids. http://espn.go.com/classic/biography/s/Gastineau_Mark.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
