rollingrock49 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 enough with bryan thomas. jettison his 3.5 mil salary and bring in one of these guys. theyve been sitting around so how much could they cost. can still use westerman on passing downs in addition to roth/lawson and pace to increase our pass rush. How is this cody brown kid on our roster. i know he was looked at as a pass rusher when he was drafted years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was amazing against the Pats and can mentor Wilkerson. Shoot even Trevor Pryce prob can give us something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Roth has absolute killer instinct when his heads in the right place and can be an animal. If anybody can bring that out and keep that out it's Rex - I'd love to take a flyer at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bitonti Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 if you could combine Matt Roth's intensity with Manny Lawson's sprinter speed you'd have the perfect OLB as it stands neither are that much cheaper than Thomas. And BT does alot of good things in Rex's D. He is the coverage LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StraightCash Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Manny lawson is god awful and in no way an improvement over thomas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Manny lawson is god awful and in no way an improvement over thomas. Agreed. If he can't make it in the NFL with his freakish speed and athleticism then he's just Gholston version 2.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 I read the Jets were connected to Antwan Barnes. He came up through Rex's D in Baltimore, and has some pass rushing skills. That's probably the OLB I'd look to make. Edit: OK so he resigned with the Chargers. I'm out of ideas. Maybe Roth...Solid player who's been around and plays tough...Lawson has the soft tag, but really with Rex I think healthy first round flops and veterans aren't bad gambles for the Jets.

rollingrock49 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 I know rex and co. have praised B thomas and yes he led them in sacks with 6 but I just feel we can try and get better production elsewhere. Roth, westerman, whover. Anyone ever see this Cody Brown kid play? I see he was an early draft pick years ago and was thought of as a pass rusher.

HessStation Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Manny lawson is god awful and in no way an improvement over thomas. It's basically hijacking your run D for (POTENTIALLY) an extra 2 sacks/year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 It's basically hijacking your run D for (POTENTIALLY) an extra 2 sacks/year. Word. Rex isn't compromising his run defense if the return is only a couple of sacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
