So you'd rather take a player that plain sucks, just because he's cheap and he's played in the system before? It's clear that Kimo is past his time, and has been doing nothing but hurt is. Aaron Smith and Richard Seymour both play alongside top 3 3-4 nose tackles in Wilfork and Hampton. Smith has never had a ten sack season, so I'm not too sure where you get your information. Honestly, go back and watch some games, and tell me what Ellis has done wrong. His first two games, he rushed up the field too quick, but other then that, he's excellent at plugging holes and a very good pursuit tackler in the open field. It's tough to put up these amazing seasons you seem to speak of, with one lineman who should retire, and another player who disappears for periods of time. Ellis received his big contract after consecutive 11 sack seasons. It's not as if he wasn't performing at the time. A year of his development was wasted early on, when he was thrown into the defensive tackle spot, after the drafting of Bryan Thomas. Ellis is quick off the ball and tackles rarely get engaged on him. When they do, he usually pushes them around, only teams rarely run at him, since they know there's a huge run liability on the other side in Von Oelhoffen, and Bryan Thomas early in the year. As Kimo loses snaps (to Bobby Hamilton and C.J. Mosley) the Jets run defense becomes better.
Good point. He does seem to be playing tough well into the 4 th quarter... That is a huge plus over the past 2 years when he was almost non-existent at the end of the games... Let's go Jets!!!!
It's one thing to misspell something on here or in an IM but to fuck up the title of an article when that's what that person does for a living is unforgivable.
