Of TJB Snarkies and Other Mudslinging
Clearly things have been a bit nutty around here lately, for that we apologize, know that I am working on some projects in the background. To that end, there have been a lot of things flying around that we haven't had the time to set right, most especially in the TJB Snarkies category. If you are unfamiliar with TJB Snarkies, check here. To start, here are some snarkworthy articles lately that Bent and I are doling out points on.
- Cimini made the old mistake of claiming that Jolley was acquired for a first round pick – again. Leaving the multiple other picks out of consideration. (2 snarkies)
- The Journal News noted that Trey Teague is now a cornerback … jeez, Mangini must thinks he is Lombardi after his work with Troy Brown. (1 snarky)
- Glauber's piss-poor article imploring CuMart to retire. Hey Glauber, why don't YOU retire?!? It's also worth noting that Bob does have a blog now, do I have to consider him a more credible read now? (3 snarkies)
And suprise, the Daily News is back in the lead. Mostly for Cimini's work in ripping the name of the granddaddy of Jets blogs from Bob Bullock.
I am treating this as a TJB Snarky amnesty message, and asking if you have any nominations for putting papers in their place, to comment on them here. Please make sure to tack a link into the message so I can go back and read. One thing, now that these guys are all rocking the interweb with their blogs, here is something to consider: I am less inclined to give out points for what the guys write there than in their columns and articles.

Great call with the snarkies. Do any of these writers edit there work or check there information out, it amazes me.
Anyone know if the Jets have any plans on bringing in any more DT's or NT's? I know they brought in Grady Jackson who signed with Atlanta and spoke about Brenson Buckner, but nothing ever happened. I noticed that the 49ers released Jerry DeLoach, a 6-2 335 lb, DT who spent time with the Texans, playing in the 3-4 scheme. I thought DeLoach could be an option, especially with our paper depth on the defensive line.
Would be a mistake to get rid of McCairens–again, we saw his big play potential the other nite, a 40 yard catch and run play. He's the only guy on the team that has it, never forget that, 16.6 ypc last year, that is HUGE (and they got rid of Santana after posting a similar ypa number, and, I think, the same amount of catches, 47, the year before–does that maybe tell you something?)
Teagle's no CB (ha ha), but if he can play soon, it's really a good thing–he's can play guard, too, which really gives the OL good depth. He's a nice player–actually with him and Jones, the OL has decent depth, is probably ok, assuming Mangold and D'Brick progress nicely, which they probably will. But those OL guys aren't allowed to touch the ball, except for fumble recoveries and tackle eligible plays–so the major problem will remain: this team just can't score any points.
Glauber can eat a d*ck.
