    I'm not buying into any Gholston hype until the pads go on and he has played a full game, with production. You guys seem to be biting again on the phenom in shorts.

    Gholston doesn't get any excuses in my book. Just get on the field and play, this is the year for him to boom or bust. If he has a repeat of last season, I doubt he'll be in the league much longer.

    I really think Gholstons' biggest fallback was him missing all the voluntary workouts while he had to finish classes.

    He would have missed the voluntaries anyway, being that he wouldn't have had a contract by now. It was the mandatory dates that he missed which hurt him most.

    Per NYJets twitter, Gholston had another sack today. Kellen Clemens, the victim.

    I never thought about it that way we have the 6th pick from last year & the 5th pick from this year if these two guys pan out we will be loaded.

    Have my fingers crossed for him to break out but not going to hold my breath.

    Best offseason acquisition: Rex Ryan

    Our defense is going to be nasty for years to come.

    Gholston is a terrible public speaker.

    Yeah, he totally fooled us with his public speaking drills at the combine.

    The guy could have Tourette Syndrome and I wouldn't care, as long as he played like an animal.

    Wait, what if the #50 on the field at Florham Park is really Eric Barton, and no one told him he was traded? We need reports on #56 immediately to see if there is wiffing going on from that jersey still...

    That made me LOL....

    but seriously, it's not a surprise to me that Gholston fits in better with Ryan and his staff. I'm not saying this guy is going to go from bust to hall-of-famer overnight, but he's not necessarily the smartest football player in the world. With some time getting used to this team, a new coach who can focus more on what Gholston DOES have to offer, instead of what he doesn't... I expect a much higher level of play this year...
