Popular Post Charlie Brown Posted August 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2022 This at the end of the day is what our life is all about making things a little more joyous for the next person along with ourselves. We are all just passing through so we might as well be a place of hope for somebody... So yes this is what being a Jet fan means to me....

Popular Post PS17 Posted August 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 7, 2022 I love this. Little kids (and grown men) view these athletes like gods. For them to take two minutes to create an experience like this is priceless. Love to see it. Joe Douglas is bringing in high character guys. 12 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 it's great they do some little things for kids. but as far as likeable i think that stems from not having knuckleheads like wilky, or the hitman, or trumaine, or geno on the team. you hear these guys talk and it's pretty clear they have more going on in their heads than just foosball. i get that they're coached but so was robbie anderson and it was hard to know what language he was speaking. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Moore Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Honestly I was just thinking about this today, how this is a likable team. Our teams at the end of the Rex era were not very likable (Tone, Plaxico, Vick, Geno, the Tebow saga). 2015 Jets were quite likable with Fitz, Marshall, Decker, etc. The rest of the Bowles years the teams just stunk and were boring….mostly likable outside of a certain safety. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The emphasis on "Character" really shines through. Guys are upbeat, friendly, funny and thoughtful. Uzomah is one of the most likeable guys in the league, Garrett Wilson is a smart and engaging young guy, Eli, Davis.....hell, the scariest guy on the team, Michael Clemons, is apparently a very well read, thoughtful, funny guy. I haven't liked the guys on the team this much since the Parcells/Groh/Herm era. God, I hope they turn it around and start WINNING. ? 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Ulbrich had a press conference (during OTAs I think) where he praised this team because there were no "a holes" on it. He was happy that was the case. Saleh, in the Flight 2022 videos, was talking to a group of the coaches and explaining how the best teams (he was using an example from the Navy Seals) always values trusting the guy you're next to over high performing. He said you'd rather have a lesser performer you can trust than a guy on your team that you don't trust. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets0712 Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I was there last night. Was a great moment. Had the crowd cheering AJ AJ. The team does seem very likeable the rooks. We’re all signing autographs for the kids. My son had a blast….seems like this JET group does have a lot of good character guys on this squad. Reminds me personality wise of the Herm teams early 2000s. Now let’s go get some WINS with these guys!!!!!!’Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles Movement Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Great post. We spend an inordinate amount of time arguing over stuff that really isn't that important in the context of this being just a game played by adults. The giving back to the communities by the players (and I'm not just talking about the moment last night) is so much more important and meaningful. I got misty watching last night. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't understand that sentiment until I was the married guy with kids. Having a family at home makes you not take as many chances, makes you cautious.... I know its not entirely applicable in the same way, but you need to be able to trust the guy next to you to go the full measure, not hold back, and give 100% to the task. Those are the guys Saleh and JD want to build their squad with. No Santonio, AB, Derrick Mason, Revis types. Elite players, yes....but selfish me-first guys. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also makes musicians sell-out pu$$ies sometimes. Metallica used to pride themselves on being the loudest and fastest band. Then all of a sudden they were suing Napster and wearing designer jeans. Not blaming all that on starting families but they certainly forgot their “roots” fast. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And personally, given that this is a football team last I checked, I’d rather have a successful but not as nice team than a nice, bad team. We had a team of nice guys last year and we sucked. Not really complicated. Time will tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
