NIGHT STALKER Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 We have new young guns making decisions...we have no idea what the **** they'll be doing on draft day...it's an exciting time leading up to draft day and I've been around for Jet drafts for almost 4 decades and can't remember such mystery and intrigue leading up to this draft. Anyone who can absolutely predict what we'll do at 4 deserves a prize...hey, I own a military business (sorry, no guns) and if you are current military, former military or know one that's in the military, I am willing to donate $100.00 worth of merchandise to the first guy/gal that can predict what the Jets do at 4. Maybe the admin can set up the contest...it should be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 The new regime cut $40M off the salary cap in about a month. We have two first-round draft picks. And if we take Minnesota's offer, we'll still have two first rounders to go with three 2nd-rounders. I don't have to endure another season of giving Curtis Martin 12-15 carries to get "warmed up" - if he's running good he'll get more; if he's stinking it up he'll get pulled for Blaylock/Houston. The 29 DB's we drafted may yield a secondary that can stop someone on 3rd down. Rookies will be given a chance even if the incumbent veteran is healthy. The starting QB will be annointed after beating out the other in training camp rather than starting b/c he has the higher contract. Players will learn more than one position so a couple of injuries won't end the season immediately. Looking forward to, now & then, seeing Trevor Johnson line up at TE & Kimo von Oelhoffen at FB. Our players will be in shape. Our players will have an interest in the team as well as their contracts - didn't Mangini have the players watch game film of the draft prospects this year? Our opponents will not know our gameplans on the Tuesday before kickoff. We actually wait for the best offer for a commodity (Abraham) instead of giving it away for nothing to a buddy (Herm). We will fill the roster with future need positions before we actually need them. Then play these young guys before the veteran is ready for the glue factory. No more insane contracts/trades for players who haven't proven worthy yet (Chad, DRob), or who have shown that their ceiling/attitude doesn't warrant all that cap space (Abe) so we can use it on other players. I haven't been this excited about a Jets off-season in a long time. AND that's with expecting them to suck badly. Sucking would somehow be watchable if you know you're on the rise & building something; if losing is because you simply don't have the (mature) talent to compete yet & not because your coach can't count, plan ahead, do something other than smile/clap after a brutal call by officials, or assist in the gameplan at all during a game.

POTW. This is exactly why I'm excited - but don't be suprised if the Jets win 9 games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 How dare you look positively at the Jets! How dare the Jets have a well organized plan this year! Where are the editorials declaring most Jets fans are not happy unless they are bashing the green and white? Sorry Kansas City! The new regime cut $40M off the salary cap in about a month. We have two first-round draft picks. And if we take Minnesota's offer, we'll still have two first rounders to go with three 2nd-rounders.

Barber when you had a need signings of journeymen FA WRs like Conway, Hatchette signings of journeymen FA DBs like D. Robinson keeping the challenge flag buried in your pocket when it obviously needs to be thrown, and vice versa being unable to follow and wisely use the game clock-no Dick Curls (aka P*n*s C*rve) necessary to handhold extremely infrequent but wildly inappropriate use of trick plays - L Jordan's horrible INT draw plays on every other 3rd down throws over the middle to a WR every other other 3rd down running the ball with Curtis the 1st 2 plays every time in the red zone...for a loss DBs playing 10-20 yds off the receivers ignoring the other backs (FB, TE) in the running game being unable to actually adjust a game plan, while the game is in progress yes I am gettin excited. I feel like more was done in 2 months than in the last 6+ years and more competently still lots more to come I believe. with the weaker schedule and BUF's failure to emerge 8-8 or 9-7 isnt so far-fetched IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 It's damn exciting. I remember a year ago when I was excited as hell with the prospects of Dinger onboard and a "healthy" Penny. There's a lot more substance to this excitement with: 1.) The picks 2.) The new/radically different thinking. 3.) The escape from Cap Hell The new regime is unproven, but every day we move forward, it looks better. Cautious optimism, but real optimism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
