You left out the part about Woody not using an executive search agency this time to find JD. Oh, and also Woody being out of the country.
-LT Mekhi Becton - out for the year -LT George Fant - out -OG/OT/filling in everywhere AVT—out for the year -RT Max Mitchell - out ….and so on ….and after all this, the Jets with a Joe Douglas put-together makeshift OL grounded and pounded their way 85+ yards from their own 4 yard line to inside their opponent’s 10 yard line against one of the better defenses and in crunch time no less. “Who’s left?.. Herbig, get yer ass in there!!….
He once did but no more. If that were the case we'd be coached by McCarthy. Or Matt Ruhle. Or Marrone.....
Ugh yeah…I remember when Woody wanted to finite Marrone…wasn’t it a media/fan uproar that really caught Woodys ear and made him rethink it? I can’t remember who we hired instead…was that the Gase hire or before him? I also remember with the Matt Rhule hire that it would’ve been a done deal until Woody and Mac wanted to choose his coordinators for him and he (rightfully) said go fuck yourselves. Like they know anything about the game. I think the best move was hiring JD and then giving him full control…for the first time since what, Parcells? We actually have a football guy who’s qualified after the parade of shit we’ve had.
What the Jets have done despite these injuries plus Hall and Davis is what makes this run truly incredible. The Jets really are playing as team no.matter who is starting.
