What I mean is if we are rebuilding, doesn't it make sense to have the pick of the '07 draft to do it with? Finishing 8-8 and picking 16th is OK, but finishing 3-13 and picking 1st overall is very much better (for a rebuilding team). THEREFORE, We should: Start Clemens, get a tough year under his belt, get valuable rythem between Clemens and the new OL (and receivers), then take the top '07 draft pick in every round, and come back as the team to beat. You know I'm right. It's OK to say it.
I have said this before, but just keep saying this out loud. Like Stuart Smalley, you will feel great with your daily affirmations.
Jets are defintely not in better position than raiders. Neither are Browns. Thats a JOKe. (maybe Mangini wrote that article) 1. Raiders young Oline is further along than Jets young oline 2 Raiders have alot more at skill positions than Jets 3. Raiders have gotten there young inexperience players alot of playing time(jets will attempt to do that this year) 4 Raider players know scheme they will be running , jets players will be learning two new schemes. . 5.Raiders QB situation in alot better shape than jets. 6 Raiders have a more proven pass rush than Jets. 7. Raiders are going to have one of the fastest defenses in all of football;. 8 Raiders have a way more experience coaching staff.
Your the Man. NJRaider, Love the fact that Mangini( the Writer) gives the jets major kudos for having hindsight to built through the OLINe. Yet dosen't mention that Jets, were following the AL davis blueprint of 2004. You can question if Ferguson and Mangold will have the better career , than gallery and Grove, but theres no way that is the case next year. case in point, reports from minicamp was Ferguson and Mangold head were spinning) Jets have a coach staff just out of preK, players have to learn two new schemes, Missing some serious parts on both sides of ball, have major questions at QB, WR and RB, don't have a proven pass rush and last tough for Jet coaches to enforce 11 oclock team curfew, when there bed time is at 9:00 pm.
You mean they have better skill postition players then jets, and how is your QB situation better then ours? You have a QB that failed with Joe Horn and Stallworth atleast our #1 has showd us he can be good when he's not hurt. Also just because you have one of the fastest defenses doesn't mean it is faster than ours so that doesn't really go against us.
All in-conference smacktalking aside, I think it's a bit of a reach to place to the front of that list a team with the youngest and technically the most inexperienced coaching staff, a new 'non-football guy' GM, and a team that has just started rebuilding and has 2 projected rookie starters on their O-line and a number of other ?s on both side of the ball at impact positions, plus new schemes on both sides of the ball... must I go on? These things are realities, and as much as I like to see hope in the offseason, you have to temper it with reality. The Jets are a long shot right now. But that doesn't mean they aren't going to do it.
How is Raiders Qb situation Better than Jets? Lets see there no questions about ABrooks health? When was the last time Chad Pennington was healthy? Has he ever played a full season(16 games) ABrooks has made mistakes but put up some decent numbers. (playing with better talent with Raiders+ more talented Oline) Raiders QBs are playing with raiders recievers, compare to Jets QB playing with jet WRS. Now which QB going to look better. P Ramsey hasn't done anything in NFL. A Walter was a better Qb in Pac10 than K Clemens. (ask any pac 10 coach who was the more impressive QB) Raiders have a way faster defense than jets its not even close. Lets look at IT . Secondary- Its not even close. Not only are those guys young,and big, but might be fastest secondary in football. N asomugha 6'2 212 4.45 F washington 5'10 185 4.27(fastest time at 2005 combine) NCB S routt 6'1 195 4.28(Second fastest time at 2005 combine) FS S schweigert 6'2 210 sub 4.5 Ss M huff 6'1 205 4.34 SUb D gibson 6'3 215 4.4 WLB Thomas Howard 6'3 240 4.4 MLB K morrison 6'1 235 4.72 Sam williams 6'5 265 4.57 Subs (Bing and R thomas are both 4.5 guys, D Clark 6'2 250 4.8) DLine LDE D burgess( NFL sack leader a speed rusher) LDT Tom Kelly 6'6 305 4.81 W Sapp RDe T brayton 6'6 285 4.72 Raiders Dline might change by start of seasobn as they have alot of options. If Iwas picking dline Mine would be LDE TOM Kelly 6'6 305 4.81 LDT T Sands 6'7 345 sub 5/ Rashad moore 6'3 325 RDT W sapp 6'1 310 RDE D Burgess 6'2 267
Thanks for stating the most overrated stats in all of football. 40 times are nice, but there have been so many players who timed a slow 40 that go on to excel and others that have a fast 40 but suck. This is football, not a track meet.
Yeah, hardly anyone here cares about the 40 times, whether we are talking about Jets players or Raiders players.
You are correct about forty timers- see bryan Thomas. The only thing I said was raiders would have one of the fastest defenses in football. Jet fan was wrong to claim jets defense was faster. WE will see how effective raiders defense(with all that speed) is this year. (thats only thing that matters ) YES speed is not a criteria for a great defense, but if those players can play and possess speed than lookout. Okay forget forty Time, On obvious passing downs, can you put a better better pass rush out there than raiders . LDe D burgess LDT T Kelly RDT W sapp and RDE L Johnstone.
Comeon thats not true. How many time on this board Jet fan have talked up bryan Thomas speed.(that speed has given them hope that he can make sucessful move top Olb) The guy just not a very good pass rusher.
Usually tackling comes into play when talking about defenses. That's just me though. A bunch of track sprinters don't do shit if they can't tackle, cover or rush. Granted the pass rush is decent, but I've heard Raiders fans on other boards saying that Burgess is a good pass rusher but he is similar to Abraham in that they get a lot of sacks in meaningless situations. Bryan Thomas ran a 4.47 in the 40, and 1.6 in the 10. That's incredible for an end. He has all the measureables to be a nasty rush backer. So I'm not sure what you're talking about but he had an awesome 40 and hasn't panned out quite yet. Of course I'm saying this loosely, but he's all too similar to Shawne Merriman out of college. Really hasn't been pushed and hasn't been put at a better position for him. He's a good run stopper, average pass rusher. Everydown action will help him.
i think he meant that if they start ol noodle arm at qb, we're guaranteed another top 5 draft pick.:shit:
noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle noodle
I'm sorry but the whole noodle arm thing is one of the corniest names I've ever heard. You're pretty much retarded if you say that. P.S. I'm not calling anyone out because alot of people do it....it's just retarded.
