Aso is gonna go to Dallas. Jets need to draw a line. Aso is using the Jets to get more from Dallas. I can feel it.
I think he's using Dallas to get more from the Jets! You know he wants to be a Jet- he just has to figure out how much of a pay cut he is willing to accept to play for the most desirable team in the NFL. Sad to see Ray Edwards signed so such a cheap deal. We should have pushed for him.

I will say one thing - Aso better be the difference maker between the Championship game and the superbowl. If Rex gets this guy its superbowl or bust.
I'm sure he could, he stood up and dropped in coverage in Minny plenty of times. Either way, we play as much 4-3 as we do 3-4. Do you realize how often guys like Jason Taylor and Calvin pace line up with their hands on the ground for us?
I can't believe anyone is actually entertaining the thought of not wanting the second-best corner in football, on a defense that centers on the play of its corners. The insanity of this is off the charts. We need Aso to sign just to pull people back off the ledge.
In all honesty I'd rather have Braylon and Cro. If we could get Aso and Moss or Plax that would be fine too.
If he comes, Aso strengthens our defense in three ways I can see outside of the obvious (taking out the opposing #2 WR). He significantly reduces the long-ball threat, which frees up the safeties and shortens the field for the pass coverage. Cro already did that very well; at least there won't be a drop-off. However he'll be much better than Cro at being physical with receivers to disrupt short passes and blanketing them on intermediate routes. This will force teams to stop leaving so many guys back to pick up the blitz. Remember those third-and-longs on defense last year when time seemed to stop: you had around 14 guys ineffectually shoving each other in front of the QB, who waited, waited, waited for someone to get open? Teams were ready for our massive blitzes and often got away with having only 3 targets against Revis/Cro/Coleman/maybe one safety. Quite a few times, the #2 or #3 got open eventually since our front seven couldn't consistently win one-on-ones (except when Ellis played out of his skin vs. the Pats). You can't get away with that against Revis/Nnamdi/Wilson. Max protect is out of the question, and even leaving two guys back to block is very risky. Instant pass rush. Finally, this forces teams to throw a lot of their playbook out the window on passing downs, while Rex, on the contrary, can get as creative as he wants to be. Does that mean he's worth it? I really don't think so, given the other needs on the team, but I wouldn't second-guess Rex on anything football-related. Can he do anything crazier than start Mark Sanchez on day one in the NFL when he barely started in college? I thought that was even more insane than this Nnamdi stuff, and here we are coming off our second AFC title game in a row.
Name a pass rusher, who has played the 3-4, that the Jets could go get. it just isn't there. So you might as well get coverage guys that add .5 seconds to your blitz cuz nobody is open
