Howard was a pleasant surprise last year but there is no way he is worth 7-8 million a year, absolutely no way.
He's worse then Howard. Just because he was on the Blind Side (movie) does not make him a good player.
We need to just pay Howard...continuity is key and if we lose him we'll need a RT and two guards. We've already lost Asamoah pretty much to the Falcons. Let's hope Idzik is planning this out
best pass rusher since Bruce Smith/Reggie White and is same age reggie White left Philly.. his recruitment should be interesting
remember there were some rumblings about revis and SF last year? that could be a spot though I don't know their cap situation. could be the missing piece out there.
Jets D-Line/NT's & ILB's are defenses strength. OLB & Safeties are there weaknesses. CB's are average, but with Cromartie gone, they have to replace him. CB's best friend is a great pass-rush. If Jets upgrade OLB's position, that improves the secondary. I don't know why Jets don't move Kyle Wilson to Free Safety??? That's his best position & potentially helps in solving there FS problem. DT: Jets need 2 DE/DT via FA/Draft. Coples has to show improvement this season & he probally will because his contractis coming due. Good complementary player, but hasn't lived up to being a #1 pick. DE: 2 needed. Jets have to upgrade an already decent unit & upgrade their pass-rush.. Adding 2 solid players to this unit can only improve a good unit. NT position is finally solid. OLB: 3 needed. Passrush's most important position & one of Jets weakest. Rex has continually not solved this problem & listening to him, it doesn't seem to bother him. Jets need 3 OLB's....speed-rushers...IMO. Last rusher Jets had was Aaron Maybin ??? ILB: 2 needed. Jets just need to bolter this unit. Starters are in place, but the fall off is steep when it comes to the back-ups. More speed & better pass-coverage LB's needed. CB: 3 needed. Only 1 real CB on roster {Milner}. Jets need to try to re-sign Cromartie & still get 2 more CB's via FA/Draft. Anyway....Jets need 3 more CB's. SS: 2 needed. Allen & Jarrett I like. Reed...make him a coach. Jets need a starting caliber SS. FS: 2 needed. Jets currently have no NFL caliber FS's on roster. Only if Kyle Wilson is moved to FS. Jets have to address back-end of secondary. P: 1 needed. Jets need a Punter with a stronger leg. ST: Jets need to increase there team speed on Special Teams.. PRIORITIES: #1- OLB position; #2- CB; #3- SS; #4- ST's; #5- DL/DE/DT. This is my evaluation of Jets Pre-Free Agency Defense. A team is only as strong as it's weakest link. Remember...u gotta have depth.
Agreed, his burst off the snap is one of the fastest I've ever seen and I think he still has 2 good years left.
1. This doesn't mean Austin Howard isn't re-signing. Way less likely but it's not foregone conclusion. 2. How do any of us know what his agents were demanding? Are you ready to give Austin Howard $7 mil? I'm not. 3. Why would Howard accept an offer right now if he's going to be a hot commodity? Makes more sense for HIM to test the waters. See: Edelman.
Dennis Waszak Jr. @DWAZ73 33s Would not rule out Oday Aboushi (5th-rdr last year) as very real possibility as replacement for Colon at RG or Howard at RT. #Jets
They tried Oher on the left side, he wasn't good. They TRADED 2 picks for Eugene Monroe and let Oher play on the right side. Not good, they let him go right away. What does that tell you about Oher?
