    I'm still amazed that he was able to sell himself as that considering that it took him a full 6 years to even get just a mediocre O-line on the field.

    I don’t really care the turmoil it would’ve caused, I would’ve fired Ulbrich within an hour after hearing how much he jerked Reddick off for being a team leader and unselfish player the other day.

    Your not buying the theory that Reddick has been putting out some very well hidden production all this time and regular fans like us just don't see it?

    He's been close to invisible for me. And I try to focus on him a decent amount of the time.

    He did go out into pass coverage at least once versus Buffalo and did a pretty good job with it. Maybe we all missed out on the 4D chess that Douglas and Ulbrich have been playing all along. Maybe Reddick wasn't brought in to rush the passer, but rather to play in coverage to make up for Sauce's poor performance this season. :D

    But, for what they're paying him to do (i.e. sacking the QB) he's been one of the all-time worst non-QB signings/trades in league history.

    or how about D.J. Reed telling a Bills reporter that he’s done here and looking forward to free agency?

    Ulbrich will probably start Reed and praise him Sunday

    Reddick is leading the league in hidden production this year. :mad:

    Everybody blaming Woody for the dysfunction should consider that he let those two fools run the ship a ground... both should have been fired two years ago and while Woody was instrumental in getting AR, he was right in his criticism of him early on in spite of what both those idiots inferred..i.e., can not bench an x-MVP. This team has some talent but JD was MIA for the last two years... F him, F RS and F Brick. They all suck...

    Saleh and Ulbrich are both mindless drones. Platitudes, slogans, zero accountability. It's like they both read the same shitty book about how an NFL HC should act and refuse to deviate from it. Both have been completely incapable of making adjustments in light of new information.

    It's especially funny with Saleh because leadership was supposedly one of his strong suits, yet he was the complete antithesis of a leader. He was a complete pushover who refused to put his foot down time and time again to the detriment of the team.

    It reminds me of how JD was supposedly an OL guru yet couldn't build an OL to save his life.

    The fact that both our HC and GM were so bad at the things they were supposedly good at speaks to just how clueless Woody and co are when trying to hire qualified leadership. They are unable to assess things deeper than face value. It must be so nice working for Woody. You can basically convince him of anything. He has zero innate skepticism or ability to think outside of established narratives.

    Just saw the pro-bowl rosters - Jets have a few "alternates" but not one player on the pro-bowl roster - so much for this being the most talented Jets team of all time) considering last year we had 3 and 4 the year before I believe despite similarly dismal records.

    I've agreed with these sentiments for 2 seasons. Douglas was horrible.

    I can't believe Jets ownership allowed these clowns to "swing big" with AR. They already demonstrated their incompetence leading up to that acquisition.
