He is when healthy. In fact he was the best run stopping NT in the league last year. Some would say that is a starting Nose.
if he plays i hope he doesn't aggravate his back. i'd rather him sit out this game with the bye coming next week and have a full two weeks to recover rather than risking the possibility of hurting himself this week and not being available for later in the season.
I can get on board with him not being a 3-down starter. He's really only good on running downs, and we haven't even seen that trait this year. Hopefully it was mostly because he wasn't fully recovered yet. I fear that age setting in was another factor though.
Would be nice to have Sione back with Ellis sidelined. I can't take much more of DeVito at NT taking up a single blocker. Why Damon Harrison didn't get more time is beyond me.
Marshall not playing is pretty good for the Jets since last time we played them he had a INT and 3 pass deflections on Sanchez.
I want to see more Damon Harrison. I remember the one play when he was in the game on a fourth down stop against the Texans. Drove his guy back a yard and stuffed Foster in the backfield. These guys from small schools are always high motor players.
Not to be overly dramatic, but at 3-4 we need every win we can muster, so the best players need to be on the field who ever they may be. If we go 3-5 there is a very small window for "later in the season".
Jets linebacker Bart Scott hasn't missed a game since 2005, an impressive stretch of toughness and luck. Unfortunately for Scott and his teammates, it appears that streak is coming to an end at 119 games. According to the New York Daily News, Scott will miss Sunday's game against the Dolphins with a hyperextended big toe, an injury that's been bothering him since Week 3. Earlier in the week, Scott showed reporters how he normally wears a size 12 cleat but was donning a size 13 1/2 shoe that had been taped and gauzed over with a so-called pillow inside for more comfort. But for Scott, the streak apparently doesn't mean much. “I don't care about a streak,” Scott said, via the Newark Star-Ledger. “If helping the team best is for me to be on the sideline, help these young linebackers see what's going on, then I'll do that.” In order for his toe to heal, Scott would need to rest it for three to four weeks, but up until now, he'd been unwilling to do that. As the Star-Ledger writes: “Last week against New England, he played in just nine snaps, the toe throbbing while he tried to cut and change direction against an offense that planned to force him out into space. He's been looking to prove a point to his teammates about playing through pain, though this week has been especially difficult.” “It's like losing a thumb on your hand. Everything you do comes off your big toe,” Scott said. “I've always prided myself on having a high pain tolerance, playing through things, and I just want to show my teammates I'm willing to bite down and continue to play and do what I can do to help us win.” It doesn't appear that Scott will get that chance against Miami
