Jets Voice of Reason Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Not that I like Kerry Rhodes that much as a player or person. But we still got bad value for him in that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetscanes331 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 He never got caught from behind by a full back?, Maybe the full back wasn't in the game on that play. Hummmmm somethings fishy. Oh just don't ask him to tackle. He wouldn't want to break a nail. Kerry actually got tackled by Sam Bradford on that play.. 60 yards down the field. That may be even worse than a FB. During the run back he looked like he wanted to stop and ask for directions to the end zone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got the most value anyone was willing to give us for him. If we didn't get a 4th round pick, we were going to cut him outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Banner Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 I'm resigned to the fact that each year there is one Jet player who fans think is perfect and one who is Satan. When Penny left Rhodes became the new Satan. Yeah, he didn't tackle hard after he got rich. He tackles like Butkus compared to Cromartie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Guys, calm down. It was the f***ing Rams. You know, the same team that went 1-15 last year and whose rookie QB was making his first NFL start. No, Brodney Pool isn't necessarily an "upgrade" over Rhodes, but the 4th rounder we got for him in addition to Pool made it worth getting rid of him. He's a lockerroom cancer, and he couldn't play for Rex. He wanted the defense to revolve around him, but his play didn't at all justify it. And if you can't play D for Rex, I'm not interested in you.

Sperm Edwards Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 It was fine. Of course, Rhodes couldn't have asked for a better pass thrown right to him if he was the intended receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 i love all the justifications here 'he got tackled by the QB' 'he picked off a rookie' 'he only had 1 tackle 'he's a pussy and i hate him' bottom line he's a playmaker. And no he's not everything rex and pettine wanted him to be. But he's better than Brodney pool, who probably won't even play tonight. and the defense doesn't get better without him. They are better off with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are better off with him. Except they're really not. Bit, this guy played like a beast his first couple of years, trying to shed the tag of fifth round pick and earn a big contract. Then the second some casting agent told this guy he could put him in movies he started playing like a punk. Rhodes wasn't just bad last year, he was bad the last three years. He was happy when he was the overachieving star of the defense back in '06 and there were no vocal leaders who were great players around him. The the Jets added Revis, Jenkins, Pace and then Scott and suddenly Rhodes' act was tired and stale, especially since he stopped backing it up with his play. The other guys are all better and would run through fire for each other and to win. Rhodes would do it so long as he didn't mess up his uniform. Bye bye Carrie, addition by subtraction.

JustInFudge Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Impressive how he made Bradford throw the ball right at him. Yes it was...he totally baited him into making that throw by faking as if he were coming after Bradford, then he made an unbelievable leap, held on to a laser and then did his thing. If that were Brodney Pool, we'd have 5 threads about how great he is and how bad Kerry suck. Kerry Rhodes makes plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damaged89 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 bottom line he's a playmaker. And no he's not everything rex and pettine wanted him to be. But he's better than Brodney pool, who probably won't even play tonight. and the defense doesn't get better without him. They are better off with him. In that case why did Rex bench him/ship him off as quickly as he possibly could? He's a playmaker? Bullsh*t. He's a "ballhawk" who had, what, 3 picks last year? And thats only after he got benched because he won't hit. He's not on the roster because he's not a playmaker, he won't even hit small receivers (Wes Welker? Seriously?) and the coaches hated him. We're better off without him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to Antonio, when he played in a man-coverage scheme he was known for being one of the more physical corners in the league.

A lot of people are unfairly basing their opinion of Cromartie's toughness on one play. No he wasn't. One of the best athletes? Yes...most definitely...One of the most physical? Physical has never been a word I've heard connected to Cromartie...unless "not" was placed before it. He's had a reputation as "soft" for a while now...Rhodes got his last year...so technically we're being unfair to Rhodes...that said, I'm sure now that Rhodes is soft that he's always been soft and he's never done anything right and blah blah blah. Now to be fair to Rhodes...he's a good player who did alot of dumb things to get himself thrown out of here. He wanted to be the focus on a D that tries to not build itself around an individual...Can't do that, especially when Revis decided to fly right by him as the team's best secondary player by a good amount.

A lot of people are unfairly basing their opinion of Cromartie's toughness on one play. True dat! And that one play was a run play and not a deep out of the numbers pass coverage. On run plays if it comes to a DB having to make the tackle means the first line of defense caved in. I think Cro will be great in pass coverage. If it ever comes to tacking on run plays hope we have toughened him up enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
