Why in the hell were there people saying that the Jets would be good?

 

The Jets defense is really really good?

Their offense is as bad as their defense is good.

 

LT is at over 5 yards a carry right now.

They don't have Santonio Holmes.

Its Week 1.

They are playing Baltimore.

LT broke one run for 21 yards. Other than that he's at 6-15.

 

There is no way they can run as effectively as last year and Sanchez cannot throw the football. They went 9-7 last year and didn't make a single upgrade.

Santonio Holmes is pretty good once his suspension is over.

Ok good point about the LT part. But again they are playing a really good front 7. And yeah Sanchez would not be anyone's first choice for a QB. But they did upgrade.

 

1. Santonio Holmes will be a big upgrade.

2. Cromartie while at times will be a headache will be a upgrade over Lito freakin Sheppard

3. Kyle Wilson the CB they drafted has a chance to be really really good.

 

A full year of Edwards will help. And Sanchez is only in his 2nd year (Although he does look bad).

Sanchez is the reason that they won't be a super bowl team I think. The rest of the team is great. Especially Shonn Greene:)

 

Question. Did he fumble this much while he played at Iowa?

He only really played one year at Iowa full time (he was a back up the first couple of years an played mostly in garbage time) but I don't remember him fumbling often. ESPN said he didn't fumble but I don't know if they just don't keep that stats on that or if it's actually true but now he definitely has issues with it.

what happened to albert young at iowa? he really looked like he was going to be a star there, and then tailed off his last two years. i'm just curious because he went to my high school.

Albert came in and really impressed, then blew out his knee his freshman year. Then I believe he blew out the other one the next season. He went on to have a good career for the Hawks, but never seemed to regain the explosiveness he came in with. The guy had great hands out of the backfield though. I happy he's been able to stick with the Vikings over the past few years.

 

After a quick search here are his career numbers at Iowa: 660 attempts for 3,173 yards and 23 touchdowns and 79 receptions for 705 yards and two touchdowns.

He does a excellent job of picking up the blitz.

So far, my decision to blow my entire auction budget on Chris Johnson, Peyton Manning, Calvin Johnson and Antonio Gates is working out just fine.
