lancemehl Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 With Leon taking two endzone to endzone, it adds another player to the list Jets who we've decided to break up with and have gone on to catch fire in another town: Whatta you got? Terrance Mathis James Farrior Hugh Douglas John Vilma? a little help lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 McKenzie was the best RT in the league for quite some time. I remember Moss having that HUGE season after he left, then he went back to being nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman88 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I wouldn't really count Vilma as a bad one because we all knew he was a stud in the 4-3 but he was a joke in the 3-4 when we switched defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope he lasts in this league...easy to root for...that's the perfect team for a Woodhead type guy too. They f*ckin love small white guys with games totally based on how tough and efficient they are. Please note that the above characteristics are not limited to white guys. It just sells better that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Straw Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Funny, they moved Farrior b/c he wasn't doing anything in a 43 and he becomes a star in a 34. They move Vilma b/c he can't play in 34 and he becomes a star (again) in 43. Actually, you're mistaken. James Farrior was a classic 4-3 outside linebacker coming out of college who really didn't fit the 3-4 scheme, or so people thuoght. He played OLB in the 3-4 with the Jets and they chose not to resign him despite him making a ton of tackles in his last year with the Jets (pretty sure he led the league). Everyone thought he was best suited playing OLB in a 4-3 where his lack of size would be protected by 4 lineman upfront, and he could play to his strength, which was his speed. He then went to the Steelers and moved to ILB in the 3-4, and has been awesome since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone can prove me wrong but Herm had him for one year in his 43, didn't like him, let him go and drafted Vilma the next year. I'm pretty sure Farrior had one year in Herm's 43 before they let him walk...i think. I don't think he ever led the NFL in tackles as a Jet either. I know he was mostly average and then beame a star once a Steeler. At least that's what my, i'll admit, somewhat subjective SOJ memory remembers.

We drafted Vilma in 2004. The guy we picked up in 2002 was Sam Cowart, a pure 3-4 ILB in Buffalo who we moved to Farrior's 4-3 OLB position. Also of note he was fresh off a blown-out knee for the Bills, and before anyone knew if he was ever going to be even mediocre afterwards, Dumbway gave him a $30M contract or something ludicrous like that. Guy started 2 years for us and our entire starting LB corps was overhauled in 2004. I think the guy who was theoretically drafted to replace Farrior was John Abraham in 2000. As a rookie under Groh, Abraham really mostly saw action as a down-lineman on passing downs when we went 4 across (and then of course got injured almost immediately). A year later Herm switched us to a full-time 4 man line which Abraham was far better-suited for anyway. Farrior played 1 year on that defense, actually played well, and we then decided that his FA money should instead go to Ray Mickens. Farrior was so insulted he actually took less money than the Jets offered him to play in Pittsburgh. I may be embellishing a little, but that's how I remember it.

He was Cowart in name only and never the playmaker he was with the Bills. Brilliant move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kleckineau Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 For all you Nuge fans. Here is another ex Jet that has become a star elsewhwere. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfp-20100930_mike_nugent_named_afc_special_teams_player_of_the_month Cincinnati Bengals kicker Mike Nugent(notes) has been named the AFC Special Teams Player of the Month. Nugent went eight-for-eight on field goal attempts during the Bengals’ three September games, including field goals from 54 and 50 yards. Among NFL kickers who are yet to miss a FG try, Nugent has the most total field goals by three. On Sept. 19 vs. Baltimore, Nugent made all five of his tries, scoring all of the Bengals' points in a 15-10 win. It is the most field goals in a game this season in the NFL. That performance, along with three touchbacks on kickoffs, earned Nugent an AFC Special Teams Player of the Week award. He has reached the end zone on nine of his 16 kickoffs, with five going for touchbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to my original point and post, Farrior did play one year in a 43 before they let him walk. But I thought Abraham's rookie year Parcells was still HC? I remember him coming on mid year too. And damn straigt JAbe would of had LT ability before he turned pussy and Herm's 43 made him a DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abe was one of the 4 first-rounders from that 2000 draft. 2 of those picks were from TB for Keyshawn I think (plus another one from NE for mumbles), and Parcells didn't dump Keyshawn until he was done coaching here.
