We need those three things plus a wide receiver capable of big plays. Coles and Cotchery have not shown much in that department and after that we're pretty thin at WR.
Pennington was only winning if the measure they used was picks thrown. In everything else it was clear that both Kellen and Chad were equally ineffective.
I'm already looking at us getting Alphonso Smith - CB. A little undersized but plays big (think Antoine Winfield) and has great ball skills and is very dangerous once he gets the ball. Of course, I'm already assuming Rex comes in and brings his system that should help us pressure the qb. Now we just need the personnel to take advantage of that pressure.
It'a amazing how you can find people to argue anything. Pennington would have been the Jets starter had they not traded for Favre. You can continue to argue that, but not with me.
You can believe what you want, but the bottom line is that Mangini would have used any excuse to go with Clemens - you heard Chad say it himself on the radio last week, they no longer believed he could take them where they wanted to go.
