i think bell is going to go nuts this year.

i chatted with him at the taste of the jets. very nice guy. extremely small.

i like cj, he actually seems personally invested in the team now. getting rid of bowles/mccagnan and adding gase/williams is huge. and yeah, i credit him and not mccags for these hires.

safety glass?

leo pulling a page out of the mo wilk playbook by being in his best shape for a contract year.

can't blame him for that, gase does not like divas or troublemakers.

And huge money for trumaine. Outdated thinking in today’s nfl. Money should go towards pass rushers and offense.

Puzzling thing here is his willingness to spend such huge money on defense and continue to draft defense in premium rounds yet wont’ spend for OL as the league continues to trend offense. And then he probably wonders why he’s called ‘old school’.

Not much new here.

So do we really need to keep blaming Gase for mccags being gone

Not only this but it’s still hard for me to grasp that even though there are only 32 teams in the world, many of them still have 1) bad qbs, 2) bad hcs/coaches, 3) bad gms, 4) bad owners and many have combos of this. The jets have been in the combo stage for so long, it’s easy remember that anyone over bowles will likely be an upgrade and anyone over mccagnan will likely be an upgrade. And just b/c the national media is taking potshots at the jets, it doesn’t mean that qualified front office guys aren’t eyeing the jets job. The jets have a real qb and some major talent on defense. Truth the team needs two legit upgrades at OL and one more offensive weapon, easily doable this offseason when they’ll have enough cap room and all their picks.

Not only this but the gm will also be an upgrade. the main way to evaluate mccagnan as a gm is, how did his draft picks do after the first round. B/c he was generally picking so high up in round 1 that taking the safest player had the lowest bust chance. If we went back and read all the articles about bowles and mccagnan around the national media in December the general consensus was that they should both go.

After trading lee, does anyone think they’re going to pay Leo?

If we thought there were reduced leaks with mccagnan, now there should be none with gase b/c he doesn’t want to talk to anyone.
