MikeJetsWord Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Per Adam Shefter on Twitter: AdamSchefter Adam Schefter Larry Hardesty from ESPN NY 1050 reports former Jets nose tackle Kris Jenkins soon will announce his retirement. Also from Kris Jenkins Facebook: Wanted to let you all know that I have loved the support and respect that you all have given me throughout my career. But it is time for the torch to be passed to the younger players. I am going to hang up the cleats! The mind is always willing to play but my body deserves the rest. Thank you for the opportunites to play Carolina and New York. Gotta say, I am going to miss the big guy-- he was hilarious on Hard Knocks and a beast for us when he was healthy. Glad I got to see him play in Green and White. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His little temper tantrum against the jets when he was released definitely left a bad taste in my mouth, but when he was healthy he was amazing to watch.

I mean, if we are assessing the value of a 3-4 NT you always look at stats/sacks...like, duh. That said, Pouha and DeVito dont have 3.5 sacks combined in their entire career.

Enjoy the Hall of Fame induction ceremoney when they induct Jenkins, be sure to let us know how it was. So just to be clear, you're judging a 3-4 NT based entirely on sacks? Seriously? And then you compare him to two players who combined have less career sacks than Jenkins did in that one season? Just think about that for a second. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of both DeVito and Pouha, but the fact is that Jenkins had one hell of a 2008 season and if he could have stayed healthy the Jets would have been much better off with him in addition to those guys.

While we're all looking for that prototypical nose guy, there's a lot of good football players out there that don't fit that prototype, but at the same time can be productive players for you on the field. If you can't get it, you adjust." To look at their stats, nothing suggests a nose tackle's significance to a defense. They don't register many sacks. They're not among their team's tackle leaders or turnover creators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visajets Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Im providing you guys with factual stuff, yet you choose to remain in denial. Its ok I understand. On the defensive line, the speed players play on the outside and the power guys play on the interior. In some defensive schemes, such as the 3-4 the Broncos use, the big guys are asked to give themselves up so other players, most notably linebackers, can make plays. "The linemen are basically doing the dirty jobs so someone else gets the glory, someone else gets the sack," former Broncos defensive coordinator Joe Collier said.
