Snacks to the Giants

Costello still trying so hard to troll Jet fans. Snacks, not to take anything away from him, was the DL that benefited most from having Sheldon and Mo next to him. Offenses put their pass pro focus on the edges, leaving the middle soft.

Couldn't agree more. Look, Snacks was a great NT, but the idea that he "made" Mo and Sheldon instead of the other way around is ludicrous.

Remember when everyone was worried with replacing Pouha? Big bodies are easier to find that dynamic hybrid players.

Jets 26th in rushing yards allowed in 2012.

Jets 3rd in rushing yards allowed in 2013.

Snacks was the full time starter in 2013. Say what you want about him, he occupied plenty of blockers and space so other guys could make plays. It was a mutually beneficial relationship for Wilk and Sheldon to be lined up next to him. He helped their numbers just as much as they helped his.

Sucks to lose him, but that's how it goes. The pick will be nice; that's next year, correct?

However, the pessimist Jet fan in me is worried that now, Sheldon Richardson does something in the offseason to get suspended for a long time.

 

It would be the Jet way to go from overwhelming strength to weakness in a snap of the fingers.

Snack was/is an excellent nose tackle.  Now that he's not here, don't revise history. 

He is a premier run stuffer, and he is the player I am most pissed about losing.

I'm going to disagree a little here.  Snacks is excellent.  He didn't make Mo and Sheldon, but they didn't make him either.  He is a fantastic run stuffer, and was a huge reason they got to face so many 3rd and long situations where he could come off the field.

Agreed, but run stuffers are much easier to find in the draft/FA than edge rushers. We've had a good run of finding guys that can do a really good job against the run. Snacks will be missed but Sheldon/Williams/Wilkerson is the reason Harrison was expendable. Plus we will likely net a 4th round comp pick. Not happy he is gone, but every team loses players in free agency.

Funny thing is if he was locked up long term for $5-6M/year last season it would have been laughed at by Costello and others as overpaying and wasting our saved-up cap space while only bidding against ourselves. That a 2-down player who never gets to the QB would never get that much on the open market, and stupid Jets, blah blah blah.

Now he gets almost $10M/year from the Giants and all he sees is the plus to them and the negative to us. Ignoring that the Giants just ate up $10M/year in cap space on a guy no one would offer a 2nd round pick for last year (and it's news if anyone even offered us a 3rd or a 4th) when we tagged him for 2015.

When you are the best in the league at your position, you deserve a payday like this... especially having worked his way up from the bottom, not being a bluechip draft pick.

With him gone, I think we finally get to see how good this collection of first round DL's we have are. They need to be more disruptive and more able to take a game over, like Watt does on his own.

Did he really get close to $10mm a year?

I think Snacks gone helps Richardson the most. It should/will move him back inside the tackle where he doesn't have to look like a fat, lazy OLB with the wrong number anymore.

I don't see that as a direct result of this at all. The Jets have had ample opportunity to give Wilk a deal. They haven't. Snacks being gone doesn't increase the likelihood of a long term deal with him.

Now do it for Harrison's defensive playing time on running plays.
