bitonti Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 first off great job tyson with the interview questions... really kept it moving and asked good ones... just from his phone call it sounds like Kyle Wilson not ready for #2 job this year, Cro deserves to be re-signed, Braylon doesn't and the Jets can get back to CG if Mark Sanchez improves and they find a few more pieces. I also liked Victor's answer to why hold the draft now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lockout point of view was interesting especially when he discussed how players hate the offseason camps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 No offense to VG, but what criteria would he have to evaluate Kyle Wilson? Was he there at camps? Practices? Does he see coaches film? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dierking Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 He has access to variety of resources including the coaches Why would Victor Green be breaking down Jet film and even associating with the Jets? I am trying to understand here. Or, is he just speaking as an informed "fan". There is a huge difference there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, is he just speaking as an informed "fan". There is a huge difference there. What exactly are you trying to understand here Scott? Victor Green's credibility as an NFL analyst? What exactly does Manish Mehta or Rich Cimini bring to the table in terms of experience and knowledge of the game? With the New York Jets making yet another postseason run analysts from all over the country were breaking down Gang Green. Some do a better job than others, but I found VG interesting as he still has several ties within the NY Jets. As a guy that played safety in the NFL for 11 years I would think VG would be qualified to break down the play of a defensive back. That's just me, everyone has their own perspective.

The way that you break down a players skill and ability is to look at coaches film (it can not be done on tv) or see him in practice or camp on a regular basis. Wilson's play time was limited this year-So how much did Green get to see him? I am not questioning his ability to evaluate, just what criteria from which he is evaluating. It would be interesting to know if he is breaking down films, or going to practice. Otherwise, I don't see how he can have a solid opinion. I think it is a fair question.
