    Well hopefully he works out. I think LT has only a few good years left and the jets will need a versatile running back to compliment Greene

    This where YOU are insane and cannot read. I have said all along I was against the move, that doesn't make me correct. SO FAR it looks like I am w/ getting nothing out of McKnight while Leon has alread won a game for Seattle but that does not mean long term this was the best move. It all depends on how well McKnight does.

    A 5th rd pick is nothing for the teams best playaker of the previous 4 years. We went from talking about getting a 2nd rd pick for him when FA began to ultimately settling for a 5th rd pick. At that rate we would have been better holding on to him then throwing him away for essentially nothing. it's not hard to acquire 5th rd picks.

    Yes WE were talking about a 2nd round pick. Us fans were talking about a 2nd round pick, that doesn't mean that it was a realistic opportunity they had.


    After week 5 tell me if a 5th round pick is nothing....

    Then why the fuck are you arguing about this now? You admit that you have no idea whether or not this was a bad move, yet you keep arguing that it was.

    You just proved my point earlier that all you want to do is argue about nonsense. You get a rise out of it.

    I dunno I trust Callahan.

    We DO have a replacement.... And he isn't playing bad. He is getting better. I dunno where you come off saying Slauson is shit.

    If Jay Feely is the best kicker we ever had..then the Jets kickers have all sucked in the past.

    Jay Feely is a fuckin douche bag anyway. I used to like him, and think he was a cool guy.

    After I saw this I'm happy for this reason alone he is fucking gone.

    Jay Feely
    What a snitch/bitter piece of shit.

    I'm pretty sure Jason Taylor is a leader by the way. Plus the players seem pretty happy he is here.

    He's got fumbilitis and he trips over his own feet. He can't create a hole, and he can't make cuts when the hole closes.
    In the open field, he seems okay though.

    My initial argument came from the Philly game. I assumed it was his last chance to shine before he got shelved in the cupboard for the winter, and he did less-than-nothing with an opportunity to leave us feeling optimistic about his role in the future. I assumed he would simply be starting from scratch next offseason. He looked below average for a guy who had so many people raving about his skills and potential in April.

    My last impression is what I wrote when I started this thread. And now he's moving up the depth chart into the promised land...based on what exactly? His invisible potential or his draft position?
    With Woodhead and Washington, at least they showed signs of hope in the preseason that they might actually make something happen out of nothing in a regular season game. They weren't perfect, but they showed something.
    To me, those guys were steals and we're clinging to someone who was a steal at the time of the draft...6 months ago.

    Having said all of this...I have more faith in Rex Ryan than I do in our country so if Rex says it's going to be alright, I can sleep well at night.
    And I would really like to make a sincere apology to McHype...someday in the future. I hope I have the chance to say "I was wrong" over and over again.

    If I remember correctly, most knowledgeable people on this site knew damn well no team was going to sign an offer sheet for the 2nd round tender Tanny put on Leon.

    Even if everybody on this board thought we could get a second for Leon it wouldn't matter. We just speculate on other people's speculations. In hindsight it's pretty easy to see getting a second for Leon was never going to happen.

    Fopr you guys you will back everything the Jets do, if they cut Sanchez you guys would make excuses why it was a good move. I am not like that. I have said all along I didn't like the move but I HOPE I am wrong. We'll see.

    Do you think w/ our team coming off a great win I wanted to talk about leon and McKnight all week? of course not but I'm going to give my opinions and when others come at me I'll go back at them. This is fun, you went a little overboard w/ all the attacks. There wasn't a need for that.

    How do you know Callahan was in favor of the move? Callahan is not the GM, they consult him but he's not making the decision.

    Slauson has been pretty bad, not only is he getting beat consistently but he's also committing penatlies at an alarming rate as well. Does that mean he will be a terrible player? Nope but RIGHT now he's not playing well.


    We haven't had many good Kickers in the past and Jay was the best I have seen. I wasn't around for Jim Turner but jay was better than leahy, Lowery, Hall, Brien, Nugent.

    Probably not but that doesn't man we should just get rid of him for a low rd pick.

    Why are you trying to destroy all of your credibility? Getting beat isn't Slauson's central problem, nor is it happening consistently. You should really go to the Slauson thread where we've been discussing him. You might learn something so you'll eventually be able to contribute to the conversation.

    I'm glad he said it.

    Shanadouche does the same thing.

    The rule needs to change.

    When a player goes down, he needs to come out till the next series of the team that player is on.

    (e.g. on ST on offensive player will not come back till the 2nd offensive series after the ST play. On defense, that player is out till after the opposition's defense plays...ETC...)

    Ummmm...while not a probowler, Slauson has been kicking ass.

    He's about three or four coaching points from effectively replacing one of the best guards to play in the game recently.

    That would be a pretty shitty rule change IMO. Guys legitimately get banged up for 2-3 plays all the time. Now you want to make it so they have to miss entire drives before coming back in?

    He hasn't been getting beat consistently amont his other problems? Have you had a chance to watch the coaches film and grade the OL? why don't you guys let me know when you are doing that, I figured you had no time grading all the college prospects.

    getting his ass kicked but not kicking ass.

    Haha. There's a thread about him against the Dolphins on the main page. There was one last week about him too, from ThunderbirdJet. I don't grade college prospects other than the games I watch anyway. I wait until some of the college experts start recommending players, then I try to find video.

    So you didn't follow the Alvin Keels bullshit?

    Wouldn't you say Slauson is struggling a bit?

    What a player asks for does not mean that is what they will get, he wasn't getting that money before he got hurt and he certainly wasn't getting it after the injury.

    I'm glad we agree. Now you know one of the reasons why he was let go.
