SMC Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'll take em.. Sign McCallister to a 1 year deal too.. I'll definately take Scott. But Mc is old and hurt. There are better options out there at CB IMO. Besides that, doesn't this article seem odd to anyone? FA doesn't start until 2/27 and the Ravens still own Scott's rights. I can't remember a player being asked--and answering--direct questions about a team he's not on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he knows something we don't know. The article was done by a Jets writer though so of course the questions would be all Jets-focused, but he is talking VERY candidly.

If Scott is a Jet by that afternoon we'll definately know something was up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read something the other day that said Mc's problem was attitude, but if playing a 1 year deal for his last big contract, he'd be a force again.. that's why I said 1 year deal, no risk..

I heard that. And I like the 1 year deal also, but I'm afraid he won't be healthy enough in that 1 year period. His knee issues concern me.

My feelings with ANY Ravens defender is that if Rex wants him, I'm cool with it. We can never act like we know them better than Rex and Rex knows what he needs. If he feels a certain guy helps him fill what he needs then I'm on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDown Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Nice interview. He seems very comfortable with the idea of coming over to the Jets, and he would be a great addition. Pace - Scott - Harris - Thomas/Gholston That's a very solid LB corps with potential to be a top unit in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace - Scott - Harris - Thomas/Gholston That's a very solid LB corps with potential to be a top unit in the league. My only concern would be speed, but I'm sure they'll spend less time ineptly chasing around TE's and backs in coverage then they did under Mangini.. Nobody will be able to run in the tackle box with that squad that's for sure, but we may sacrifice some vulnerability on the edges and in coverage..

But Rex understands that pressure is the key to everything. A team doesn't need the big sack numbers, just pressure the QB enough so his reaction time is shortened. With that, the coverage and edge issues would not be as dramatic as the Mangini years. It still boggles the mind how Mangini never understood that. He was just too damn stubborn and frightened of allowing the big play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody will be able to run in the tackle box with that squad that's for sure, but we may sacrifice some vulnerability on the edges and in coverage.. I thought Thomas and especially Pace did a decent job of containing the outside runs last year. They ran into trouble when they were asked to drop in coverage play after play, and it took them out of their rhythm. Also, keep in mind that Mangini's "read and react" probably had a slowing effect on our LB's because they were thinking too much. Rex is going to simplify our defense while making it more aggressive at the same time. Less thinking = quicker decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 sounds like he WANTS to be here-I like guys that WANT to be Jets...haven't seen that in a decade around here, players that actually WANT to play for our head coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I'm comfortable with what Rex wants. I believe in him and his defensive mind. I honestly want Chris McAllister, I think he still got some game and can come very cheap. I just hope we get Bart Scott had a good price. I hate that fact how people don't mention Darrelle Revis.

Irish Jet Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Scott would be agreat pick up. He's an elite defensive player and would bring SO much to this team. He knows Rex Ryan and his schemes - It really would be the perfect move. He sounds like he'd be more than happy going to the Jets too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally would rather get a good rush on a QB every play and force him to rush then get 3-4 sacks a game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
