Guys forget about Demarcus "Tank" Tyler..........article says it all, he is very lazy at times and takes plays off. Not a Mangini player. Spitting in player's face, getting arrested for drunken behavior, losing his temper...yada..yada..yada http://www.newsobserver.com/122/story/496919.html
Very reliable source was down at Mobile this week for the Senior Bowl and he told me Tank Tyler is falling like a rock His exact words .. no way that fat slob will be drafted in the first round :grin: Take it for what it's worth
Amen. It's even more annoying than the old "Patriot way" thing that used to be all over Jets message boards. Why is it assumed that these 21-23 year olds are career-long F-ups that the Jets could not POSSIBLY touch with our saintly fingers anyway? I realize theres guys you just know are BAD. But how many people here were the person they are now at 21?
Is there a more palatable way to say the Jets are only interested in players that are team players, have incredible work ethics, no character issues and are smart? That's too much to type out. Call 'em Mangini types. Why the uproar?
It's more the dismissal of anyone with so much as a parking ticket as a future Jet because of some character flaw that will never be fixed. Guy is what...22 years old? I see it as: 1. A real loss of talent opportunity in the long run. 2. A shot at Mangini's ability to handle a "bad egg." 3. Ridiculously judgemental I realize the need Mangini had to fish for players with good character. It's a beautiful strategy as a rookie HC. Where I differ from many Jets fans is that I think Mangini has the full respect of the locker room, and can now take a "risk" on this vile 22 year old and others like him.
IMO i think we need that guy thats the so called quote unquote screw up and give him a chance to turn his life around and be the player that he can be. condition his mind body and soul to eat breathe and sleep football all day.
This is from draftdaddy.com; I don't know if your source is more reliable, but this description doesn't sound like he's a "fat slob." http://draftdaddy.com/blog/blog.cfm
I actually write for draftdaddy hmy: But I didn't write that, my friend did, and he was at mobile too As for the source who called him a fat slob, he's a good source, but he could be wrong, that's just his opinion
We can agree to disagree! When an NFL franchise invests Millions of dollars on a player, why take a risk on someone who has a consistent track record of social ills. Tyler has shown that he has a hot temper and bad judgement. It isn't just one incident....it's 4 or 5, plus he has shown scouts that he's lazy and takes plays off. IMO, it isn't Mangini's job to turn a bad apple into a good one, even if it is possible. Character always wins in the end, a bunch of thugs on a team will tear a team apart. Perfect Example: Chris Henry, I saw this kid from a mile away. He's a problem and always has been a problem...in high school, college and now the pros.
Mangini player is becoming a pain in the ass, rock in the bottom of your shoe esque saying, it is really pissing me the hell off, so can we stop using it
:lol: That's really funny. Well, great job on the site, I love it! :up: We'll probably learn a lot more about him at the combine...
