I am not calling you Hy Tulip!

Of course I remember it.  I think it burned.  We used to go there to get a 40 and hot dog because they didn't proof.  I distinctly remember a friend taking us there and then dragging us to the Benson theater to see some Porky's rip off that he had seen with a girl the night before.  There was a short before it.  I think it was the Java Junky from SNL or something like it.  Some kind of Reefer Madness parody.  The short was great, then my friend leans over giggling and says "You guys are going to kill me.  That was the best part, this movie sucks!"

I saw Sasquatch, Superman, Popeye there. Lol 

I mentioned Hy Tulip because my brother and I were at one of the last Jewish Delicatessens left in Brookyn. It's on Ave U and E 26th or so.

Hey man!  My wife said I'm not old so screw you!  I get it though. Damned kids today and all that. :) 

Wasn't that you? Remember at some point during the season you said you were going to go to the game and then be done with the Jets? We talked about it and you swore you were done.  Not you?   I think it was man.  

I think it was part of some bit I was doing. 

I can't quit this team because the minute I do, they'll go on a Patriot like run of dominance.

This is a good point and I think it will be interesting how it plays out.  We all thought Hewitt made himself some change based on what he did in 2018, but he signed back for 2019 at 1/$1.5M.  Burgess is restricted, so they will probably have him back and he played almost every defensive snap from week 7 on.  Worrilow is unrestricted, but he didn't even play on D.  It is hard to tell what Gregg Williams thought about those guys, but it should be easy to put together a decent group.

Not sure how Gregg Williams feels about Hewitt but here was an article about Burgess back in Week 15.

Inside the Numbers: James Burgess Is 'a Fun Guy to Coach'

The Jets' defensive accomplishments through the first 15/16ths of this season have been outstanding, considering all the "Next Men Up" who've jumped into and out of the lineup.

And if there is a Next Man Up Award this year (there isn't, as far as we know), it could easily go to one of the men in the middle of that defense, LB James Burgess.

"I love Burge and how hard he plays," defensive coordinator Gregg Williams has said. "How many times has he been cut? Those are fun guys to coach. I love the fact that we've had a chance to win with those kinds of guys."

What is it that Burgess has done since he was signed from the practice squad in late October? The most eye-catching thing is the amount of time he spends making plays at and behind the line of scrimmage. By an unofficial count, he's got 14 tackles for loss/no gain on rushes and receptions. That's 1.5 tackles ahead of undrafted free agent rookie DL Kyle Phillips for the team lead.

In fact, Burgess' number ranks up there among the top season totals by Jets defenders this millennium. Here are the 10 times Jets players have reached 14-plus regular-season TFLNG since 2000 (*through 15 games):

 

Player Yr Tkls Player Yr Tkls
DL Sheldon Richardson 2016 20 DL Muhammad Wilkerson 2014 14.5
LB Bart Scott 2010 18.5 LB Marvin Jones 2000 14
LB David Harris 2013 17.5 LB Demario Davis 2015 14
DL Damon Harrison 2013 17.5 DL Damon Harrison 2015 14
LB Eric Barton 2004 16 LB James Burgess 2019 14*

Among Burgess' seven stops with six teams (he began with Adam Gase's first Miami team in 2016 as a UDFA and returned to the Dolphins late last year), Williams coached him with the Browns in 2017-18.

"There's a picture that I have in my office," the DC said. "When we played Jacksonville a couple years ago over there, he had 19 tackles, two sacks, six tackles for loss, two hurries, and his helmet looked like back when I played — it was crushed and broken. This is a young man that plays and gives you everything he can and then, he's smart enough to fit in and we adapt when he's in the game."

One final point on Burgess' Jets tenure: He's always in the game on defense. His first game this year was at Jacksonville, when he logged 71 of 74 defensive snaps. Since then, the Jets' D has played 527 plays and so has Burgess. In the last eight games he's played in more scrimmage plays than anyone else on the roster.

"Make no bones about it, I love that kid," Williams says. Heading into the final game of the season at Buffalo on Sunday, it's easy to see why.
