Here's SI's Dr. Z (who, apropos of nothing, I think is pretty darn smart) on Rhodes: Safetyman Kerry Rhodes has three stripsacks, which sound like exotic dances on a loading platform, and they're predicting that this devastating human blitzkrieg will sack his way into the Pro Bowl. Who are the best blitzing DB's ever? Well, the Cards' Larry Wilson originated the technique and probably was its all-time king. The Eagles' Brian Dawkins is the star of the current era. Pittsburgh's Troy Polamalu is no slouch, either. It takes a certain talent. You have to disguise your intentions until the last minute, you have to be able to evade a blocker without breaking stride, and you have to love the old smackeroo. Rhodes qualifies.
I remember someone posted it before and sorry for taking your idea...but we may have the next Ray lewis-Ed Reed combination with Vilma and Rhodes
I said Rhodes had all pro talent and I meant it. Good to see that he is coming around. He's bringing stability to a position we have attempted to fill for almost a decade.
And I, ladies and gentlemen, have his distinguished signature on my now-infamous Jets Autograph Ball. That's right. And Kurt has seen it firsthand... yes he has... and so has ThunderbirdJet. So don't any of you think this is some kind of hoax or scam of sorts! In August of 2005, Mr. Rhodes was exiting The Netherlands parking lot in his SUV as a first-year rookie, and I (having previously evaluated his immense talent and having known he was destined for NFL stardome) acquiested to allowing him to autograph my now-famous ball. This ball is now worth thousands of dollars... perhaps upwards of 7 figures. It even features the signature of one-year-only quarterback Jay Feidler! That's right! I just thought you all ought to be aware of this. Thank you.
