"Just bEgin The Season" Edition of Post of the Week - September 6th, 2007

[GreenBeans]

Hey-Oh! And the season begins this fine evening in a game I'm not so interested in at all, but what the hey - it's football! The few last days before the start of the season are full of hopes, expectations, fears, and concerns - but I'll take'em. I'll go out on an optimistic limb and call for the Jets to be within a game, in terms of wins and loses, of last year. I am sure of one thing - Soloman Wilcots is not even close to being right about the Jets. The man is a buffoon at best, a raving idiot at worst - 3-13 my eye.

Before we start this week, I'd like to thank greengal for stepping in for me last week. It was a busy week for this legume and I appreciate your willingness to step in and git'r done - you're the best. I'd also like to call attention to this quote - "Even though the starter was resting today, and you were playing against the second stringers, you have a real good chance of making the team. Beans has never won us the SB, but there are some out here who think you are the future" - Jetcane. I'm assuming this means that JC thinks I have a noodle-POTW.

Anyway, let the games begin and the POTW nominations be seen....

This weeks nominations were:

Now it's 2008 Chad gets traded. Too many posters main goal is to be a "I told ya so guy" no matter how many different stances they take.

Let the QB situation resolve itself on it's own. In the interm root for the team.

(Editor's Note: Fair enough, but it's fun and usually interesting to debate the merits of players on the team, no?)

i would be looking around and i guess they wanted me to join them in finding the queer because they became very close to me, and sort of hit me a lot. More like love taps, but they left bruises.

don't worry guys, we'll find 'em.

"To me, playbooks are like going to a Chinese restaurant," Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said. "It's a big menu. OK, what do you like, do you like poultry, do you like fish, do you like meat? We have all these things in this book which you need to have, but at the end, this is what we are.

"You couldn't run all the things you have in the playbook. You've got no shot."

Mangold and D'Brick will certainly be better in their second years. No one else is at an age yet where declines can be expected. And yet these are basically the same lines that they Jets went 10 - 6 with last year. So, you are saying the loss of future HOFer Kendall will be the difference in 10 -6 and having the worst record in the NFL?

Very astutue.

(Editor's Note: Sure, #13, can't you see it? I mean, Kendall brings championship rings to any team he plays with each season. The man is a walking jeweler...)

I don't think he is the only one....but watching Pats fans throw every other NFL player under the bus to protect their cheating POS is sad.

(Editor's Note: Not only sad, but pathetic - I'm actually a little surprised Alk took this stance. That being said, thank goodness that the Jets do not have to see the cheating bastid this weekend.)

R.Harrison may be getting up in age, but at the same time he was a leader for that D and he actually brang his A game each and every Sunday... Good luck James Sanders... Good luck.

So here is the bet... (Alks idea, He seems pretty upset about this whole situation, lol, I dont blame him though) If the Jets beat the Patriots... Alk wont post on JN for 30 days... Same for me, if the Patriots beat the Jets, I wont post on JN for 30 days...

Its a deal, its official... Chad, Coles and Cotchery will all have a field day vs this Secondary... BB may think twice about bringing the Blitz come week one.

I support a coaching staff that is willing to admit draft mistakes and move on, rather than force a mediocre player into action to justify their pick at the team's expense.

(Editor's Note: Good point - it's hard to be sincerely sorry when you're hiding the fact you did something bad. Harrison, to his credit, is at least being a stand-up guy about being a cheater.)

Topic: A Positive thread about the Jets.

Originally Posted by DefenseWinsChampionships

These are some of my positives right here.

-1st offseason in 2 or 3 seasons where Chad Pennington has been healthy

-We had a solid draft in terms of drafting starters for this Defense. We drafted D.Revis out of Pittsburg who was the #1 ranked CB in the Nation, and we also drafted D.Harris out of Michigan who was the #3 ranked MLB in the Nation. (Plus he played as a 3-4 IMLB)

-Last season Brick and Mangold were thrown into the fire as first year players and started all 16 games on the O-Line (As rookies). Ferguson had a chance to play against some of the best DE's in the game in Freeney, Seymour, and J.Taylor. Like I said before... Brick and Mangold starting all 16 games last season could have been a blessing in disguise for this upcoming season and actually one of the best things that has ever happened to this O-Line.

-The addition of Thomas Jones. K.Barlow and D.Blaylock are now long gone in the eyes of Jet fans. We now have a running back in Thomas Jones who can be our Work-Horse and a feature back in this Offense. Thats something that the coaching staff couldn't ask in K.Barlow, D.Blaylock, C.Houston or even L.Washington as a rookie last season. I feel the addition of Jones will help Leon Washington is so many different ways.

-Our Recievers. L.Coles, J.Cotch, J.Mac, B.Smith and C.Stukey is one hell of a group for opposing secondarys to try an keep up with. Last year Cotchery had one hell of a season for a first year starter, and first year working with Chad for a full season. Coles was tough as nails, J.Mac has been playing great this whole offseason, B.Smith can do alot of different things and atleast keep the Defense honest and C.Stucky has alot of potential to make some big plays for us this season. I like what I see in this group of WR's.

-Coaching staff, I love the fact that Mangini learned from two of the Best in BB and BP's. Last season we made the playoffs under a rookie coach in Mangini and a first year OC in Martys boy. This year I'm expecting big things from Mangini and Shotty as they enter year 2 and should have a better feel for the Jets as a team as far as calling the right plays, playing the right players, and overall... Just being better coaches and building upon last season.

Special teams. We really may have one of the best Special teams in all of Football. J.Miller is a game changer and is almost a promise to leave Chad and the Offense with nice field postion, M.Nugent is turning into one of the best kickers in the AFC East, B.Graham has one of the strongest legs in all of football with a crazy spin, and L.Washington, J.Miller and even C.Stukey all have potential in being play-makers in terms of Punt Returning. (If only J.Miller could catch the ball better)

The Secondary I like the fact that we have Dyson and Revis as our starting corners with J.Miller guarding the slot recievers and D.Barrett going up against oppsing teams 4th string WR.

Dyson may not be a speed burner as a #1 CB, but he does have experience and leadership with nice coverage skills.

Revis may be starting as a rookie but I feel he can be a solid #2 CB for this Jets team this year.Would Mangini really start Revis if he wasn't ready?

Miller seems like the perfect #3 CB because he is fast, quick, explosive, physical, and will be guarding opposing teams slot WR.

And Coleman and Rhodes are nice to have at Safety. But Kerry Rhodes becoming great in my eyes

Our 2nd year in the 3-4.

(Editor's Note: Solid post, DWC - I'm actually a little shocked, to tell you the truth. I'm pissed that you forgot Wallace Wright under the WR's - what's up with the hating on Wallace, huh?)

First off let me introduce myself. I have been a Jets fan for a good eleven seasons now. The Jets are the only sports team I follow, and many people feel that my obsession with them is unhealthy..

Anyway, after watching each and every snap this preseason I, like every other sports writer/broadcaster/analyst am jumping off the badwaggon, and writing this season off.

I never wanted to believe that last season was just a product of an easy schedule and a smoke and mirrors system, but looking back at it I can understand why people thought that, and realize that the New York Jets are a flawed team.

This preaseason only supplemented my concerns.

The loss of Pete Kendall will be HUGE. Kendall by no means is a road grader a la Will Sheilds, but he at least brings some stability to a position in which the Jets have absoloutley no depth whatsoever.

Even worse was the injury to our big time FA running back; the supposed "go to guy" that this team lacked last year...

Well.. Thomas Jones didn't play much at all this pre-season, and some reports are saying that the guy is damaged goods and is a big-time candidate to be a week 5 IR. Knowing the Jets luck this will be the case, and the "steal" of the offseason will match that of the Phillies "stealing" Freddy Garcia from the White Sox. Either way I can't see TJ at full speed for Sunday's game.

The Patriots are a big, tough, physical team that was built from the inside out(through the lines). I know Seymour isn't playing, but Bellichick said it himself... He's probably got 3rd or 4th stringers better than Kenyon Coleman. It's fairly obvious that the Pats are simply going to run it down our throats like they always do, and the defense will offer no semblance of stability, and won't get off the field.

Now... To the offense...

The offensive line has looked Oakland Raider bad this pre-season, and no I am not stretching it. D'Brick may be a bust... Even if the guy turns out to be a solid player there is no way that he is going to bring more value than Matt Leinart or Jay Cutler bring to their respective teams. The guy is a poor run blocker, and an extremly overrated pass blocker. He will be the Robert Gallery(anchor) to the Jets version of the worst o-line known to the man.

Next Pennington.. Chad is going to last two.. maybe three games this year. To be honest I like Chad as a QB, and think the Jets could do a lot worse than him, but he just isn't a playmaker and with no running game, and a terrible oline he will be useless.. Also in a rebuilding year it is time to give KC a chance..

Overall.. you will see a Sunday afternoon spanking at the meadowlands. I think the Pats whipped us 44-7 on an opening game years ago(I could be wrong).. Think something along those lines..

New England Patriots-31

New York Jets-0

Topic: Around the league: Jets playing Patriot games

Originally Posted by rick34125

Before they even play Sunday’s game vs. New England, the New York Jets are engaging in a little gamesmanship.

For the second straight week -- and in the week in which they open their season at home against the Patriots -- the Jets are interviewing New England’s former players.

The Jets met Tuesday with former Patriots wide receiver Reche Caldwell, whom New England released last weekend.

Caldwell did have a big day against the Jets last November, catching nine passes for 90 yards and a touchdown in a game New York won, 17-14. And he caught five more for 50 yards during New England’s 37-16 playoff win.

But it’s entirely possible the Jets were interested in more than Caldwell’s receiving abilities.

The Jets didn't stop with Caldwell. New York also signed to its practice squad Tuesday former New England guard/center Mike Elgin, whom the Patriots drafted in the seventh round in April and then released last weekend.

Elgin reported to work immediately for the Jets, with an innate and up-to-date knowledge of the Patriots defense.

And the Jets didn’t stop with Elgin and Caldwell. Last week, they met with former Patriots defensive back Artrell Hawkins, whom New England released earlier this summer.

Seemingly anyone that spends some time in Foxboro, Mass., has a decent chance of winding up in Hempstead, N.Y., even if it is for so much as an informal visit.

In recent seasons, the Jets have signed former Patriots such as cornerback Hank Poteat and linebacker Matt Chatham, and added coaches such as Eric Mangini and quarterbacks coach Brian Daboll, whom New York hired last offseason. Daboll is now viewed as the successor to head-coach-in-waiting Brian Schottenheimer, the Jets offensive coordinator.

But this much is clear: the Jets are playing Patriots games even before playing the Patriots Sunday.

We do have one advantage though... We are playing in the Meadowlands, it's week one of the season, Jet fans have been waiting for this game since the loss in the playoffs to this NE team... And I feel this Jets croud needs to be LOUD, and rock the stadium and maybe even distract Brady and the Offense at times.

-I feel we need to attack J.Green and J.Sanders on the offensive side of the ball.

-We need to contain the run... Bend but dont break, and we need to keep the Patriots rushing attack under 100 yards... Keeping them under 80 would be a dream come true.

-It would be nice to see this Jets D try and confuse this NE team all game long by playing the 3-4, 4-3, 46, dime, quarter, nickel, and just give this NE Offesne different looks at times, change it up a bit, just like we did alot of last season.

-I would love for our D Line to apply pressure on T.Brady this way we dont get killed when we send the Blitz. I look for players such as S.Ellis, D.Robertson, Hobson and B.Thomas to get after Brady early and often.

-We MUST run the ball with Thomas Jones and Leon Washington, thats the only way we have a chance at beating this team this Sunday. Thomas Jones needs to be our work-horse, and Leon Washington needs to get the ball in the flats, we need Leon Washington to break 2 or 3 big gains this week to slow down this Patriots D.

-Our Defense needs to get off of the field on 3rd downs... I dont wanna see this Patriot team picking up 1st downs when we have them in a 3th and 8, 3rd and long situations.

-If Chad can dink and dunk all game to Barker, Thomas Jones, Leon Washington while picking up 4-5 yards per pass... That will only open up the middle of the field for Coles, Cotchery along with J.Mac to make plays.

-I really feel the key to this game has to be our young O-Line... Can Brick shut down J.Green? I believe so. All in all, players such as Ferguson, Clarke/Bender, Mangold, B.Moore, A.Clement with the help of C.Baker all need to turn it up a notch and proect Chad from Green, Wilfork, and Warren.

If we can rush the ball, and protect Chad from getting sacked more than 2 times this week... I think players such as Coles, Cotch, J.Mac, Leon, Thomas Jones will all beable to move the chains while making plays.

One more thing... I would be nervious about sending K.Rhodes on a blitz this week if I were Mangini... I'm sure he knows alot more about the game of football than me, lol, but the Patriots have 2 speed burners on each side in Stallworth and Moss... Brady can throw the deep ball with the best of em... WE CANT LET MOSS OR STALLOWORTH BEAT US DEEP! Our Safetys must drop back and make plays on the ball... That goes for E.Coleman aswell.

Topic: Confessions of a Chiefs Fan

Originally Posted by Roger Vick

Hi All,

I'm a season ticket holder of the Chiefs, and my family has been for the last two decades or so. I'm not a fairweather type, and I consider myself a passionate, and fairly well-informed football fan.

With that being said, I've never been as completely ashamed and embarrassed of any coach attached to our franchise as I am of Herm Edwards, and that includes Greg Robinson.

I really like watching "Hard Knocks", but it seems pretty clear from just a few episodes that Herm is more of a politician concerned with his standing among the league office and his friends (in this case the players) than he is winning football games. Many times on there he's made a complete ass out of himself and the franchise, beginning with the ridiculous Freshman Cheerleader "Welcome to Training Camp" sign and extending through is treatment of the players, his handling of rough situations, etc.

When Kyle Turley gets involved in a fight all we hear is "we need a new right tackle, we need a new right tackle," when what should have been done was a thorough, and well publicized ass-chewing for getting himself thrown out of the game.

He spends all of the preseason so terrified of injury, that we stand no hope in the first two games of the year, because we haven't practiced any of our offensive or defensive schemes.

Yesterday, of course, was the icing on the cake, where not more than one year removed from saying he wouldn't tinker with our offense, he had the audacity to claim that scoring 30 a game isn't really football, it's "Arena League".

I still dont' understand how in the hell this buffoon ever got a job doing anything other than defensive back scouting. He's a complete blight on our franchise, and he has this Chiefs fan's hopes lower than any season I can recall.

So for all of you that are accused of trolling on Chiefs boards, be rest assured that your predictions and warnings did not universally fall on deaf ears.

But how can you cope with an idiot of this magnitude??

(Editor's Note: My condolences, R.V. - you're only hope is that Herm gets that call to work in the league office he's been brown-nosing for all of these years...)

Injury reports take on a different form this year. Instead of using the designations "doubtful", "questionable" and "probable" on Wednesday and Thursday, the NFL has switched to focusing on how much practice time players have missed on those days.

The new categories are "out", "did not participate in practice", "limited participation in practice" and "full participation in practice."

The designations of "out", "doubtful", "questionable" and "probable" will now be used only on Friday and Saturday.

The Patriots' report:

Limited participation in practice

S Rashad Baker (hand)

TE David Thomas (foot)

DL Mike Wright (knee)

Full participation in practice

QB Tom Brady (right shoulder)

The Jets report:

Limited participation in practice

CB Andre Dyson (foot)

RB Thomas Jones (calf)

CB Justin Miller (thigh)

OL Brandon Moore (shoulder)

S Eric Smith (thigh)

Full participation in practice

TE Joe Kowalewski (finger)

QB Chad Pennington (pelvis)

DL Dewayne Robertson (knee)

WR Chansi Stuckey (knee)

FB Stacy Tutt (foot)

Too bad you can't grasp that diversity isn't a bane, but a BLESSING.

Originally Posted by Boozer76

Sweetheart, where exactly did he say anything of that nature? In fact at the time most Jets fans were praying for Marvin Lewis. At least Lewis had a track record as a successful Defensive Coordinator, as did Lovie Smith. Both were in playoff hunts and Tagliabue called Woody Johnson and pitched a very strong case for Herm Edwards to satisfy the minority clause. He strongly felt a black HC in NY would go a long way towards the cause for minority coaches, which it definitely would and did. The problem was that Woody wouldn't stand his ground at the time as a new inexperienced owner and wait until the QUALIFIED minority candidates were available.

I always love when people immediately jump on somebody who says something negtive about a minority's performance as if it is always a racist motive. The only thing nearly as bad as racism itself is blindly assuming a racist attitude of others when they express criticism towards a minority. Newsflash-Herm Edwards is a bad Head Coach. Not because he's black, but because he's a bad coach. Tom Coughlin isn't bad because he's white, is he? Would you immediately assume that someone saying negative comment about Coughlin must be racist towards whites? It's your attitude of assumption that does nothing but help perpetuate the problem.

(Editor's Note: Well stated and I fully agree. Herm is a bad coach regardless of color, creed, or sexual preference. Looking for racial issues where there are none does nobody any good.)

If thats the case, I guess Mangini is looking for the first trade offer he gets for Nick Mangold and Mike Nugent.

Congratulations to 124 on his big win this week. This is the first time that 124 has won this prestigious award, so I'd like to congratulate him on finally breaking his POTW cherry. Great post to start the regular season off with, 124 - wear the badge with pride this week:

The Assist of the Week goes to BP for setting up the one-liner of the week contributed by DMaynard "Do you really need a book for 'hand off to Larry Johnson'"? - I'm still laughing about that one - and it's been a tough week for laughs around here. Thanks, #13.

So there it is - POTW for the opening week of the 2007 NFL season. Hope you all enjoy the games!

Y'all be cool and GO JETS.

gb

PS - All the best to the SJ/jgb clan this weekend in Philadelphia - enjoy it, guys!
