JetNation Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 1) Jets cut Coles; Sign Cook? Several media outlets are reporting that the Jets have cut wide receiver Laveranues Coles and will be signing safety Emanuel Cook. The signing of Cook would make sense as Gang Green has become extremely thin at the safety position with the loss of Leonhard and the injury to James Ihedigbo. Not for nothing but I never understood the re-signing of Coles to begin with. With all of the injuries the Jets have why not try to bring in someone who can play special teams or return kicks? What is their a leadership void in the locker room? 2) Rex getting ripped- It was only a matter of time before the New York media dug their claws into Rex Ryan and his bravado. Following the Jets embarrassing loss to the Patriots on Monday Ryan did his best to put a positive spin on things. Rex went even as far as to compare his team to that of the 1985 Bears, one of the best teams of all-time. Well as expected the media is ripping Rex for his analogies, brashness, and overall philosophies. There is no doubt that Ryan is in a tough spot, his team talked the talk and got trounced. But the only way to bounce back is to stay true to yourself and come back with a vengeance. I think it is a little premature to start the Ryan attacks. Now if the Jets lose to the Dolphins that is another story. 3) Dolphins to practice at the Giants facility- There are several reports stating that the Miami Dolphins will fly into New Jersey early on Friday to hold their final practice of the week at 2 pm at the New York Giants facility. The Giants have stated that this is the first time any team has ever asked permission to do this, but granted the request nonetheless. I am not going to make a big deal of this but could you imagine if the Jets did something like this to the Giants? I am sure it would be a much bigger story. 4) Folk to stay for now- On Tuesday Rex Ryan stated that kicker Nick Folk will not be replaced this week. The Jets must feel that there are no suitable replacements because Folk is quickly becoming a special teams nightmare. Note to Nick: If you want to remain with the team please go to the New Meadowlands Stadium every day to get a solid understanding of the windy conditions. Anything less than that is inexcusable.

jason423 Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 The Coles thing is bizarre. I think they actually have to pay him for 4 weeks because he was a veteran only on the roster for one week. My guess is Rex felt the Jets would win and this signing would send a nice message to the NFL community that Rex is a man of his word since it was pretty public on Hard Knocks that he told Coles they would bring him back when they had a roster spot.

Green DNA Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I have to laugh with the whole media thing. Just because they have the power of the pen, they feel that every sports figure must appease them or they sensationalize every perceived weakness. Half of these dipsh*ts (Myers, Cimini, Cannizarro)were probably the class dipsh*t and now they present themselves as the fountain of sports knopwledge. Eff them, let them rip away, but they all seem to enjoy getting plenty of material from Rex for their POS columns when things are going good. Message to Giants: Payback is a bitch Message to Folk: Keep your bags packed, one miss on Sunday and you will be on the next Greyhound out of town.

That is some pretty interesting info Jason...and the fact that he did not even dress furthers your case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vudu Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Whats the word on Ihedigbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visajets Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 Whats the word on Ihedigbo? The injury report for today: safety James Ihedigbo did not practice. Ryan said an MRI revealed no structural damage but that Ihedigbo does have a high ankle sprain and a knee injury. He's not officially been ruled out, though Ryan said he will not likely play.
