xoenrt2099 Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Dennis Byrd came in last week and spoke to the team. Byrd had never reached out to the Jets before, and it made a great impact with young and old players alike. I have a theory that this part of the journey, these last two games , they will be the crowning moments for the Vets we brought in to help lead, namely Taylor and LT. When was the last Championship game LT played in ? Taylor never played in one - i will bet you anything these 2 vets come alive ...watch You will see the 2006 LT in flashes - he knows , as does Taylor how lucky they are that a team who went to the afc champ game LAST YR,needed people at the positions they play ,and decided to take a chance on 2 formerly great vets that people thought were washed up. After checking them out and they said " i was hurt " or whatever the reason , but "im back ! " , and we gave them the benefit of the doubt ... now they and the team ARE here again .that is beating the odds already. The 2 superbowl teams were out round 1 right ? Dennis Byrd , who will be a captain , came in and told them about his experience - and how he would trade anything for 6 seconds ..1 more play ..not 1 more season or even a game - 1 play ... you watch the next 2 games - LT will run like he knows he will never be here again no matter what he does ...and taylor will rush with a recharge too ... Byrd lost his ability to walk - and almost his life. He beat the odds and walks again today. He is a motivational speaker as well. These 2 vets are h.o.f bound and in the end of thier careers even though they still feel young .. the reality that its over soon is setting in - and when a man who was great , but had it all cut short talks to you about 1 more play..they will play each snap the rest of this yr as if it is thier last - because for them it may be.. just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
