OK...so after all the emotional outcry, I've come up with a logical explanation: Perhaps Mangini feels Pouha is the NT we need. From all reports, he looked promising in camp last year until he got hurt and was out for the season. He looked good in preseason this year. Now he's slowly being worked into the defensive rotation. It could only be a matter of time before he gets the starting nod...freeing D-Rob to be experimented with at DE, like we all want to see. Pouha may have been bad in the 4-3 cause he is big and slow, but could end up being our perfect 3-4 NT. Those Pacific Island guys are hella strong and hella tough and this just may work out. It's the only logical explanation I can come up with. Thoughts?
If Pouha was so much better he'd be starting over d-rob and helping to stop people from running all over us. I don't buy it.
Who knows if that fat slob would help the Jets. He certainly would make the line bigger. I suppose he can not hurt. Next please change the QB, Sundays are pretty damn boring lately.
The man didn't play last year...in fact, he really has never played much...he probably won't be ready for the rigors of a full season till next year...but maybe that's part of Mangump's Plan.
2008?? You're assuming that they would actually draft a NT in that draft. We have to live for today not six months from now!!!! This was a no-brainer. There's a reason why the Patriots are seven and oh, and rolling toward the Supe Bowl. Their front office is very proactive and addresses their weakness' The Jets..er..not so much.
I still dont get why you dont even look at him, he still can play I mean he was leading Atlanta's DL in tackles, and they do have J-Abe now... so IDK what they want us fans to think but this is a little rediculous...
so any new info on Jackson? has anybody brought him in? or will him moving around not happen until monday?
can a team full of saints have a killer instinct? the steelers and the old raiders had a team full of bad-asses and they kicked the crap out of other teams and each other. we had a team like that under walt michaels and the tuna. strangely, those were the only two teams we had since the merger that got close to the super bowl. hmy: :jets:
Grady to the Jags.... Jaguars | G. Jackson agrees in principle to one-year deal Tue, 30 Oct 2007 21:27:20 -0700 Len Pasquarelli, of ESPN.com, reports the Jacksonville Jaguars have reached an agreement in principle with free-agent DT Grady Jackson (Falcons). Financial terms of the one-year contract were not disclosed. The contract will be finalized when Jackson passes a team physical examination, which is expected to take place Wednesday, Oct. 31.
Lets get over this. He is overweight (yes even for a NT), doesn't paractice hard, if at all, and is known for doing his own thing rather than following the defense called. I'm glad we passed.
What do these things matter? When you are losing, you shake things up. You shake things up by threatening jobs. In the NFL, you threaten jobs with competition. How would a one year contract have hurt the Jets? I don't see the possible downside to a move like this.
Other than the fact that he would eat more food at team meals than the other players, I don't see a downside either.
I don't like his work ethic, don't want that on my team, you and many others i'm sure feel otherwise.
I jsut don't understand shaking things up with an old, declining player who has a bad work ethic. I just don't see how that benefits us at this point. Maybe if we had him in camp and the start of the year I could see that, but not at 1-7.
Quoted for truth. How desperate are some of you folks? Besides the guy has a one year contract. If we would have signed him he wouldn't have accomplished anything for us. We need to build towards the future and stick to our philosophy.
