Irish Jet Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Rhodes was on Total Access talking about the 2009 New Yok Jets, here's some videos from nfl.com: http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80fc1b27 http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80fc1561 *Cue the Rhodes haters* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Hater here! It's all Eric Mangini's fault, right? That's today's excuse for not being a playmaker in 2008? Granted seemed stupid to play him so far back so often, but he didn't do much other than celebrate tackles in which the ballcarrier had already achieved a 1st down. And celebrate like a 7-year old opening Christmas presents. It's a clean slate in 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS17 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I liked what I heard out of the first one, but I turned it off after I heard the words "budding actor" The second one is cool too, it shows how a CB and a FS have to play against receivers like TO & Randy Moss. I'd like to see what Mr. Hollywood Rhodes can do during the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted April 14, 2009 Author Share Posted April 14, 2009 Rhodes is going to have a great season. With Ryans scheme I'd expect him to be playing up and around the line a lot more, where he's as good as any safety in the league. He's great a stopping the run and at getting to the QB, Ryan will love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think of him as a ridiculous celebrating type player after a play and cant recall him doing it often. All I remember h im doing last year is getting pissed that guys were getting beat in the passing game. He seemed to be pointing a lot of fingers after big completions.

BroadwayJ667 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 I know Kerry has a desire to speak and be famous, but he is so damn nervous when he speaks. stick to football kerry, worry about the fame later in your career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbro22 Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Can't believe he called out TO in that second video. He's ****y, but the Jets need some personality so I'm not all that opposed. Just deliver on the field is all I ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on.. Romo threw it right to him. By the time he comes in frame Rhodes isn't even running, just waiting to jump up and get it. For a better example of Rhodes play in centerfield, watch him go all Wil.E.Coyote on a noodle ball: http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80db8b7a Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said he was great in centerfield (Although I wouldn't sey he's terrible either) but he's still a op safety. Mangini had him in deep coverage a lot last season, way too often for my liking. I'll never forget in that New England game where he was playing like 30 yards deep everytime. The Pats didn't go near him at all in that game. They were playing short passes all the way.

Well, my use of terrible was in relation to him being a "top safety" as our frame of reference. i.e. Compared to Reed, he's terrible. Overall, he's probably average..

Rhodes is a very good safety, not as good as Reed but very good nonetheless. I can't wait to see what he'll do next season with Ryan/Pettine running the show.

If not, he sucks. Havent you figured that out yet. If you are member of the NY Jets, you must be perfect or you suck. On the brightside, if you show the slightest sign of perfection, you are a first ballot HOF'er from the moment of you first big play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aten Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes, unfortunately he's terrible in center field and I think Ed Reed was used there plenty.. They both play center like scared little girls. Difference is that Reed has the instincts and closing speed to recover from lining up five yards too deep on every goddamned snap to make the occasional play. Rhodes generally only makes it into the frame once the play is over to do that little throwing his arms up in the air in frustration thing that he'd be best known for if everybody wasn't still clinging to flashes from three years ago. Like that one time when Rhodes did something and it impacted the outcome of one of our games. 'Member that? That was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMaynard Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yes, unfortunately he's terrible in center field and I think Ed Reed was used there plenty..

I don't only take Rhodes' word for it. I take Calvin Pace's words as well. People here criticize Rhodes, but they don't criticize Pace. Pace, however, corroborates Rhodes' claim about Mangini.

We will see. Ed Reed plays FS in Baltimore, and Jim Leonhard played SS. Here with the Jets I think Ryan envisions Leonhard at FS and Rhodes at SS. Both Leonhard, and Rhodes can play either saftey position, but I expect to see Rhodes up in the box a lot. I also dont agree with another poster that said Rhodes wasnt a good centerfielder. When teams throw his way and he has a realistic shot to make a play on the ball, he usually makes one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Laughable. The middle of the Jets defense was a desert where opposing receivers ran free to catch any ball they wanted for huge gains. Rhodes is a big part of that. He's soft. He's a nice, ball-hawking type player, but he intimidates no one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhodes is a big part of that. He's soft. He's a nice, ball-hawking type player, but he intimidates no one. Rhodes wasn't playing in the middle of the Jets defense for most of last season. On the majority of plays he was deep downfield in coverage. Teams did not go deep often on the Jets last season, Rhodes was a large part of that. Teams were targeting our LB's who were awful in coverage and CB's not named Revis. Do you ever watch Rhodes when he plays around the LOS? He's been one of the best run stopping safeties for years. He's not a huge hitter but a VERY solid tackler. He also has more sacks than any other safety over the last 3 seasons, but yeah, he does that by being a *****. Right.

penguini 15 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Where did all this ****yness come from?...calling out T.O. and Randy Moss. He said something like "I can jump anyway so it's no problem for me defending them at all." I like what he's saying because it makes me confident but he better produce.
