excellent~~~~ too bad I will be at the gym~~~~ guess I will have to listen to it when I get home ~~~~~~ ()-:
a few minutes ago Russo said, "we'll have Mr. T on at 5 o'clock to talk about the Jones trade" took me a while to figure out he's not reffereing to the gold-chain-laden mental defect but was actually talking about Tannenbaum. Talk about 2 very different people Can't wait for it. Does anyone know exactly where Jones' new contract will rank him as far as highest paid RBs? I know 12 mil guaranteed is alot, but does anyone have the exact rankings or 2 other RBs with similar contracts? IMO Jones is probably between the 11th to 8th best back in the league and should be paid as such
i will listen and i will do my best with some inflo but the disclaimer is that i have a 1 year, 8 year old and 5 year old home right now.... all girls and..... without the wife.... jil
i remember last year when the jets finally ridded themselves of herm and the boys and "Mr. T" was being interviewed by both mike and the dog..... The most frequent question asked by the dog was and i quote "Who is going to make the football decisions, Who? Who is experienced enough to make that final say on personnel" boy it would be nice to call out russo on that and ask him how the personnel decisions have been thus far..... jil
Tanny says the FO staff investigated all options including draft and FA Next Year and thought this was the best move trading for Jones...
Mike: Mike, if I put a value on the drop in the 2nd round, would I put a value on this at a 4-5th reound pick? Tanny: That's about right.
says Jones was used less than 40% of the time during his first 4 years so he's going to be in condition longer even though he's 29...outdoor player, leader and tough, good person, all factors in making trade
Tanny says 30+ players still run very well, .. good player in the locker room... a good fit all around... Mike: Were you surprised he was available? Tanny: Good Point mike, they have Benson and they have one year to go so it made them think about it...
Leon will still be used in a lot of different ways. Houston did good things in short yardage, but says "if he's still on the team" - they Like Tutt at FB
Mike: how do the other players fit in around TJ? Tanny: Well, we have Washington and all will get an opportunity oin TC Dog: Now that TJ has gotten his money, what do you think about his performance? Tanny: Always as concern. We think he';ll contribute greatly to the running game. Tanny: If hte opportunity comes along to get a vete4and QB, we'll prusue it.
history usually shows that the first 4-5 days there are some aggressive contracts in FA - some strong deals... (seems he thinks other teams overpaid)
