    fightin it out for the Ben Graham award...
    only one token Aussie allowed.

    I am actually really interested in this competition.
    hopefully both do well, making it a tough call.

    Not just one Hack on the field but two.

    I think this is pretty damn exciting considering what we have witnessed.

    I wonder if they can keep Edwards on PS because he was a draft pick. Thus keeping Hackett initially. Kind of an insurance policy.

    Am I the only one who shudders when he sees "Hackett and Edwards" in the title?

    Both of these guys look like an improvement not only in hang time, distance and directional punting, but tackling as well given their Aussie rules footie background. This is one of the biggest areas of improvement for the Jets this offseason. Sad but that's how bad Quigley was last year.

    to speak the obvious the jets must feel edwards is the better prospect since they drafted him and not hackett--all things equal the draft investment is usually chosen over the free agent.

    will have to catch that on repeat, as i've been curious about Westhoff's take.

    Edwards has a real live leg. I think they should give him a look on kickoffs too.
    give Folk's leg a rest to focus on placekicking. If Edwards can kick it off well, that would give him a big advantage in the competition.

    And this is why American football is a gentleman's game. It's the sport of kings; better than diamond rings.
