Sure but unlike many Jet fans I just don't say things because I want them to be true. Other than that I agree with you it's way to soon to call any player a bust, that said I also don't agree with the Jet fans that pretend there is no need to be concerned. I hear the Williams comparison alot, and at this point it doesn't hold up because in Williams rookie year he didn't have a game without at least 1 tackle.
^ and williams played every down at the position he did in college. Other than studying both game tapes, I wish there was a way to see how many plays he's actually been on the field, and of those plays how many was he at DE.
He was at DE for sure on one play in the 2nd qtr when he tried his bull rush with zero results. Totally driven out of the play by the Pats Oline
I know he's played some DE but the point is that he isn't playing nearly as much DE as Williams did his rookie season. His main focus at this point is learning how to play OLB. You see, even a guy like Mario Williams who was an every down player in his rookie season at the position he played in college didn't light it up. Gholston is only on the field a percentage of the time and out of those plays is only at DE a percentage of the time. His opportunities are far less at that spot that Williams' were in his rookie season.
See this was ur question ^ and williams played every down at the position he did in college. Other than studying both game tapes, I wish there was a way to see how many plays he's actually been on the field, and of those plays how many was he at DE. So I replied with an answer to your question plain & simple
Champ, I'm sorry but you didn't answer my questions. How many plays was he on the field? How many of those plays was he playing DE? :beer:
I knew of that one specifically which is why I replied. I doubt if there was others since he was so ineffective on that one. Actually after that play I do not rememeber seeing him on the field either for regular plays or STs
What you say you observed is contradicted by Mangini: Jets rookie No. 1 draft pick, linebacker Vernon Gholston, continues to have a quiet start - one that included being the 12th man in the defensive huddle, good for a penalty Sunday. "He heard one thing and it was not," Mangini said. "I loved his enthusiasm and [wasn't] happy with his confusion on that play." http://www.nypost.com/seven/09162008/sports/jets/graham_may_get_the_boot_129244.htm
