nyjets: New York Jets #NG Jets have signed DT Martin Tevaseu to the active roster and waived cornerback Isaiah Trufant. Thats on Twitter. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/01/22/jets-add-a-defensive-lineman-to-active-roster/ I fucked u the title, can someone edit it?
He's a big mother fucker. I know he weighed around 340 or 350 in college. It looks like he's down to around 325 now though. I'm remember hearing something about him being able to dunk a basketball...pretty ridiculous for a guy that weighs that much. He'll probably see some playing time in short yardage situations. It's a little strange to hear he's "insurance" for Shaun Ellis - I thought he was more of a nose tackle. Looks like Ryan's trying to get that heavy Baltimore-esque defensive line up-and-running.
According to this groundbreaking research, he is a Sione Pouha clone. http://jodatoa.blogspot.com/2010/04/2010-polynesian-2-polynesian-nfl-draft.html Comparing ethic players to similar ethnic players, who would have thunk it?
Trufant very well could be re-signed and active for the Super Bowl should the Jets make it there. The coaching staff may chose to go with an extra DB against either Green Bay or Chicago.
Big boy can hit people! At least at the collegiate level... [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EmSnKXjJPI[/YOUTUBE] I know this is simply his highlight reel, and it's suppose to look good. But it seems like he does a good job at getting off blocks.
I think this confirms what everyone already knew, we're not shutting down Ben like we did with Tom and Peyton, we're bringing the pressure up front to shut down the rushing attack and get more pressure on Ben. We will not be sitting back.
