Maxman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Week 17 Report Card Posted at 2:29 pm in Jets Report Card, Joe Grinwis by Max Chiefs-10 Jets-13 by Joe Grinwis Quarterback - C Kellen Clemens - 15-23, 115 yards, TD Clemens had a very Chad Pennington like day yesterday. High completion percentage, not too many mistakes. However, the Jets did not bench Pennington and promote Clemens hoping that he would become a younger version of Chad. Running Backs - A Thomas Jones - 25 carries, 98 yards, TD Leon Washington - 11 carries, 67 yards Jones was the driving force in Overtime as he carried the ball six times for 35 yards to put Mike Nugent in position to kick the game winner. Jones also had his first touchdown reception of the season. Washington carried the ball 11 exciting times and also threw a 36 yard completion to Wallace Wright. Wide Receivers - B Jerricho Cotchery - 8 receptions, 76 yards Wallace Wright - 2 receptions, 47 yards Cotchery had his second straight strong performance as he led the team once again with eight grabs. Wright saw the field a lot and hauled in a couple of grabs as well. As well as he plays on Special Teams, Wright should return for 2008 and should remain the number five wideout. Tight Ends - N/A The blocking was good from Baker and Kowalewski but no receptions from this unit at all made them seem invisible. Offensive Line - B When Jones and Washington ran the ball, the line played perhaps the best its played all season. Adrien Clarke was inactive for the second straight game and Will Montgomery started at Left Guard once again. When it came to pass blocking, Jared Allen recorded two sacks, however Clemens was the reason for a lot of the pressure and some of the sacks. The Quarterback can not expect eight seconds of protection. Defensive Line - B They played a big role in the Jets pressuring Croyle and also helped hold the Chiefs running attack to just 53 yards on 19 carries. Linebackers - A This unit was often the first to get to Croyle to make him leave the pocket, as well as tackle the ball carriers quickly. David Harris led the team with 11 tackles (nine solo) and also recorded his fifth sack of the season. Since becoming the starter, Harris led the team with 102 tackles and five sacks and is now the new star of this defense with Jonathan Vilma a likely departure in the offseason. David Bowens had a sack as well. Secondary - B+ Eric Smith led the unit with six tackles (five solo) and he will challenge Abram Elam in the offseason for the Jets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Expect a flurry of PMs. LOL, was kidding, Nuge done a good job yesterday. He deserves his grade, I may have been unhappy with on the year but yesterday he done a heck of a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 The Nuge doesn't miss. Sometimes the line falters or sometimes the gods like to make him look like a human. WE LOVE YOU NUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Vilma's not going anywhere. Yes he is. He does not fit in this defense and will be shipped out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nj meadowlands Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Yes he is. He does not fit in this defense and will be shipped out. He'll be back. Bank on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBrick Wall Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 He'll be back. Bank on it. LOL whatever you say. Mangini knows that Vilma doesn't fit the system and he's not going to let him walk for nothing next year when he likely can get a 1st or 2nd round pick this offseason for him.

Green DNA Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Clemens C is fair, however I was concerned at how many short passes were behind the receiver or hit them in the knees or lower. That's not so good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 LOL whatever you say. Mangini knows that Vilma doesn't fit the system and he's not going to let him walk for nothing next year when he likely can get a 1st or 2nd round pick this offseason for him. Why do fans put such a premium on players that we want to get rid of...if we get a second for Vilma, be thankful...a first? Never happen....especially coming off an injury.

Ten Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Leon Washington was the stud of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed3 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Clemens: I'd like to see what the kid can do with good (not incredible, just good) protection, against an average defense in dry weather, with all of his weapons healthy. Is that too much to ask? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenseed3 Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Vilma: He's a proven stud in the 4-3, with a team bent on playing the 34--his knee is the only thing really impacting his trade value. For that reason, I think we'll see a conditional draft pick for next year ('09), based on health and playing time; which I don't mind. We're already getting an extra 4th for Kendall; lets start the stock-pile. I could see a 2nd rounder ('09) if he comes back strong and plays 80% of the games, and a 3rd rounder ('09) if he doesn't. Still better than nothing, and protects both team's involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBrick Wall Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Wow, now I'm convinced. I've seen the light too. You just can't argue with "bank on it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 the question I have is...124 was basically blind walking into the game, how the hell does he evaluate anything..or does he go home and watch the game again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
