    Adam Schefter just announced the Gholston is going to start over DeVito at DT. I'm not sure I understand why.

    First defensive play of the game, VG gets his first NFL sack.

    Because of Rex "Home coming" theory (players play better when they play at home and Gholston is from Detroit).

    Still, he'll be a starter for the first serie (what the singular for series!?) and than he'll go back to the bench).


    If you go on the Jets depth chart page you'll see our DL is presented as a DE-NT-DT. Same for the Ravens... I guessit's because of the scheme versatility in REx's D.

    Gholston's returning to his hometown and family.

    I don't think this goes beyond a few early snaps in the first quarter.

    series works both ways.

    English is annoying that way.

    Maybe the plan is to have him take out Stafford with a cheap shot first play. Other than that this makes no sense to me.

    It's probably because he's from Detroit, a city in Michigan.

    thanks :)

    PS Come to think about it it's the same in Italian. Serie is both singular and plural... (fun fact -.-")

    Hopefully he can make an impact other than taking a poor angle on a QB and giving up a rushing lane.

    So what's it like almost having a seizure? This sounds like the time a fucking hippie was telling me all about how great his weed from Afghanistan was and he told me he "almost hallucinated".

    He's what -- 40 pounds ? -- less than DeVito so I wonder if he can play the position for any amount of time.

    After the Lions put their first points on the board, Gholston will be back on the bench.

    "Starting" doesn't mean what it used to due to the number of substitutions and multiple fronts, etc, in today's NFL game
