MexiRoll6 Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Damon Harrison aka 'Snacks' had a terrific game and looks to me like a poor man's Kris Jenkins. The Jets potential on that defensive line is incredible. Wilkerson is a beast (though I wish he would quit jumping offside) and Coples played pretty well. But it is on the interior with Harrison, Garay and Douzable that most impressed me. Not a new Sack Exchange but could be better against the run than the Klecko, Gastineau crew. Also, Davis showed a lot at LB too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodeawhodat Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I thought Garay was cut? Anywho, Snacks looks for real. He flashed at times last year but this year has been a beast in the middle. Can shed a block(or blockers) AND track a RB behind the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I know playing a rookie QB had a lot to do with it, but in the first game with the full compliment for the front 7 (getting Coples back), the Jets had 8 sacks and were damn close on a couple more.

DMaynard Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 The great thing is with this line, Rex doesn't have to blitz as much. And without Revis back there, we need as many bodies in coverage as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Coples made a big difference. He looked really athletic out there and a guy like him can let speedsters like Barnes and Davis get free runs. Those guys do not take long to get there.

He should be in the Hall of Fame I think, but his felony arrest will go against him. I misspoke about Garay, I mistake him for Barnes, who played very well. My bad.

I'd say that Rex won the battle vs. his old DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome to watch. I'd say that Rex won the battle vs. his old DC. Rex showed how good of a man he is football aside, he was given every chance by the media to rip into Petine, and never once even threw out a friendly jab never mind a disrespectful one, he spoke glowingly off Petine every time, and was sincere to the fullest with each response, yet Rex is the classless HC in the NFL, and guys like Belicheck who throw their children under buses if will get them a win are who were supposed to believe is the class of the NFL. The bad rap Rex gets as a person really pisses me off, he may not be the smartest HC, but he his a dam good coach X's. and O's, and if given the proper chance in time I believe he can get that experience needed to get to the smart side of the spectrum, and be one of the best HC's in this league.

Stonehands Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 If you make the sack exchange comparison, Snacks would be Abdul Salaam. He would anchor the middle and stop all draws and screens while Klecko and Gastineau were rushing up field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klecko73isGod Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 HAHAHAHAHAHA link? There's actually a great story about it in Klecko and Joe Field's book "Nose to Nose." Klecko missed a game when he was still a 4-3 DE and they shifted Gastineau over to his side and they ran at him all day. Mehl told Klecko if he ever missed another game he would kill him.

Mo Wilk reminds me more of Bruce Smith, but either way, he's really coming on strong. Not just that and I know I've mentioned it before, but a lot of these newer young guys are just so easy to root for because they seem like decent human beings.

Garay is about 320 and Barnes is a 250 lb pure speed edge rusher. He would have had an easy sack yesterday,but was tackled from behind. I was pissed because I didn't see the flag at first.

We used to say the same thing about Revis when he released those home videos of hanging out with his friends. He ended up being a complete D*ck who only cared about the money. Let's hope these guys don't end up that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never read the book (having heard Kleck talk I dont believe he is capable of writing a book) but you do mean The legendary Lance Mehl who volunteered himself as a trial character witness for Jerry Sandusky's where under oath among other positive statements supporting Sandusky he described the pedo as "A class act" ? Mr Mehl by the way managed to play a full season a whopping 3 times in his Jet career. Please, this hatred of Gastineau is just dumb.Neither he or Klecko were choir boys. He was what he was, a pass rush specialist and one of the best ever. He (and Klecko)would get paid a gazillion dollars if they played today. Klecko hated him because he was getting more attention with the whole page 6 thing and sack record and such. Get over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just cause the guy was a douche doesn't mean he couldn't play. Klecko hated Gastineau because of the 'me first' attitude Mark always exhibited. He WAS a liability against the run. I remember a game against Miami where they kept tossing shovel passes to this little RB I never heard of (and haven't since) but the Fins won 45-3 and I think his name was Vigorito. But Marino kept hammering that shovel pass as Gasty kept rushing upfield. He was a remarkable athlete who could have been an all time great if he wasn't so selfish.

I agree with this mostly, but I also think that because he had a bad attitude everybody ganged up on him in the press and he got blamed for every ill the team had on D.

That would be the coaching staffs fault for not making in game adjusments. Subing for him in 1st and 2nd down etc. He was a pass rush specialist. He wasnt Reggie White. I'm not sure why people trash him for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
