A couple of things:

- Congrats to CHI for getting Mack.  With Vic Fangio as their DC and Mack, 
Leonard Floyd & Roquan Smith they could really be a terror defensively.
That type of move says we're ready to win now, but are they?  Has Trubisky
proven he's a franchise QB after being a starter for ONE year at NC and
12 games in the pros:

- Maccagnan should've researched what it would take but he did the right
thing in not pulling the trigger.  We aren't ready to win now and can't
afford to give up multiple #1's at this point of our development

- It could get ugly real quick in OAK.  Gruden has too much control and his
mindset seems to be stuck back in 2003 with some of the moves he's made
 

I've read that part of the reason for the trade is that Mack never came in to meet the new staff 

If that's true that's pretty amazing to think about

Can't judge Trubisky from last year but this years can't make any excuses with the addition of Gabriel, Burton and Robinson.

a player like Mack is literally the only single player that can transform it - because of the pieces in place in the secondary. and it doesn’t have to be top 5.

the problem with the defense is that no secondary can keep coverage for more than a few seconds before something shakes open. At that point, the QB will either be sacked, pressured or make a pass.

Pass rush and coverage have a synergy.  

No. The problem with this defense is just as Pepper Johnson claims. It's a terribly coached unit. You know, I know it, everyone knows it.

If this defense is going to be as brutal as you claim, no way am I handing Bowles and Kacey another 2 first round picks to add to this defense. There is no excuse for this defense not to be a top 20 at minimum. If our coaching is so bad, why does everyone believe that one single player will transform it into a top 5 defense?

Every year everyone bitches about not investing in the offense. We finally invest in a QB that seems worthy who needs help. 

Don’t disagree. But they’ve ignored the pass rush as much as the offense. It would depend who’s available anyways.

If Mack is that impactful, why was the Raiders pass D so bad in 2017?

the secondary was horrible.

like i said the defense is made of different synergies that need to exist. Having either a pass rush (oakland) or a secondary (nyj) in isolation will never work.

i would never advocate trading for mack or fowler if i didn’t think the secondary was at least good enough to create that synergy.

I agree and understand completely. But I'm not too keen on handing Bowles anything else at this point, unless it comes cheap. This guy has been given enough on defense. Ask yourself honestly, if Bill Belichick or say Wade Phillips coached this defense, would it be significantly better? The answer is yes. Penalties, no pressure and out of position players are the hallmark of the Todd Bowles/Kacey Rogers defense.

what Pepper said was that the coaches do not understand that there is a synergy that exists between a pass rush and coverage. The do not and can not function in isolation.

that is exactly what i am addressing.

Easy their secondary wasn't that good, and they couldn't generate a pass rush from the interior.

Not to mention their DC wasn't very good . ( For all purpose Jack Delrio was the DC) A lot of blown coverages that you shouldn't see from a professional defense.

Not really, you are trying to address it and assuming they would use Mack properly.

Sorry but I have no faith in Kacey the Clown.

tbh my thinking was mack was such a talent that coaching could not believably eff this up

It would have arguably been a worthwhile move to the Jets under a certain set of circumstances, most notably the one where only up to ONE first round pick was used to acquire him, probably their 2020 one. Otherwise this team can't afford to mortgage their future for one player, not at this time.

They need to support Sam, and while there are few edge rushers near the caliber of Mack there will be other options for our problem there. Worth an effort but they had to set their price. Chicago outbid them, oh well, let's move on. Maybe they can throw a mid-round pick for Fowler or something, could be worth it thanks to the additional draft pick the Jets just acquired.

Why is that sad?  Because of that the Jets got Darnold

Guy didn't want to live around NYC.  Lots of folks don't

yeah bergen county is the worst….

he could have lived in gloucester county if he likes farms and never stepped over the hudson into the city.

This will end up being a good move for the Bears.  The Raiders are going to be bad for a while.  

Raiders will win more games in 2018 than the Jets.  Only position you might say the Jets are better than the  Raiders is in the secondary.( will that be the case by the start of the season- With the money Raiders saved trading Mack I expect CB B Breeland to sign with the Raiders. ( had him in twice already)    Also even without K Mack , the  Raiders are going to generate a pass rush( pass rush will always help a secondary out.  See the Jet's  secondary all preseason was exposed bigtime without any pressure.

Also Paul Guenther ( Raiders DC). Scheme is so good on defense that the Raiders defense will be better than the Jets this year.

At this point I honestly believe whoever we throw to them will never be as good as they could or should be. I just have no faith in the defensive scheme. I hope something changes this year.

If they are better, it will be marginal. Carr doesn't strike me as a guy who wants to put in the work to be great.

Funny how Gruden wins his Super Bowl with the best defense in football built up by Tony Dungy, then gets his next job, and instantly alienated arguably the best defensive player in football then trading him.  This just goes to show like in 2003 Gruden is super overrated as a HC, and Giganticly incompetent as a GM now, granted the 2 1st rounders help, but you will never replace Mack on a win now team, it would be a lot different if he inherited a team he needed to rebuild, and made this deal, but to be in the win now mode, and get rid of Mack to another team that thinks they are in win now mode is silliness.

I still haven’t seen the deal officially reported as finalized anywhere, so you know if the deal is contingent on Mack signing?

Dont rule it out. Jets might spend big $$ in free agency to help the offense and then load up on the defense in the draft.

Breeland isn't healthy. That must be some infection. Probably not in great shape either

Yeah I’m against giving up what the Bears gave up, but if the Jets did it I’d still have a hard time not being excited about getting Mack, everyone who praises Leo including the media rave about how Leo had 27 or so QB pressures only 1 sack don’t worry the sacks will come, then you go look at Mack who had 75 QB pressures all by himself yes thats right 75!  The Bears as a team had 100 QB pressures all of last year, only 25 more then Mack by himself think about that.

IDK maybe 2 1st rounders, and paying him isn’t that crazy the more I look the more I start to become torn on the price tag, should Mack win another defensive player of the year award, and Darnold is the real deal the Jets are a playoff team that year, and every year that those 2 are playing at a high level.

There will never be a defensive player of the year under Bowles. Maybe a ROY, but no shot after that.

Lol, I said this about an hour, or so ago, and IF they did that then it better be for a can’t miss Myles Garrett type prospect that as Gettelman said about Barkley “my mother could scout him, and tell you he is the best player in the draft” or something like that.

But yeah it would be so Jetsy to use both 1st rounders to move up to draft a ?????? at the position instead of paying the same price for possibly the best defensive player in the league at the same position.

That has to be the dumbest statement ever.   D Carr gets to work before J Gruden arrives. J Gruden says he never had a Qb pick up his offense faster than Carr has.( that doesn't happen without putting a lot of work in). A Qb in Gruden offense has so much on his plate , very complex offense that has so much motion, and where Qb has a lot of audible options.  

The Raiders protect Derek Carr he's going to put up monster numbers in Gruden's offense. ( by far the best Qb j Gruden has ever had in his career)

Watch us draft a WR and sign oline help and a TE and make a deep run in the playoffs 

Why would we sign a TE when our HC was just gushing about all the talent we have at the position this summer? 

Also why draft a WR after dozens of people similarly have gushed about steals like 7th round Charone Peake? Combine him with past high 2nd rounder Devin Smith, 3rd rounder Stewart, 4th rounder Hansen, blind luck UDFA Anderson (who is actually good)... we surely don't need any WRs either.

And I doubt we need any OL help. I mean don't you think a team with OL help would have drafted even one in the top 4 rounds in one of the past 4 drafts? This tells me our leader feels OL help is not needed, and he has earned our trust.

Lol

...when we had almost $100 in cap room lol.

Look, I think it's too much in general. I'd be in favor of forking over a pair of 1s simply because of my lack of faith in this GM using these picks, or the cap room, wisely.

It's obvious that we'd be better off holding onto what we've got, draft someone even 75% as good as Mack in round 1, plus another good OL starter in round 1 next year, plus use what's left over towards signing yet another good, proven starter with the saved cap room.

More likely we'll end up with 1 so-so to decent starter who isn't a difference-maker, one below-average starter who'll start due to his draft slot, and we'll of course waste another $10m/year on scrubs.

Jets secondary was horrible also.  And they didn't have anykind of a pass rusher.

That isn't the case the Raiders were going to sign him but he wanted more than they could offer at the time.( Raiders were up against salary cap , and could only offer so much).   They contacted him about a week ago ( second time).  Let's see what happens now they cleared a lot of salary space.

As long as the Raiders let Paul Gunther pick the players for his defense . ( he knows exactly what he's looking for ).  He had to have a big hand in the defensive players the Raiders drafted this year.
