They continue to refer to that year in the argument for a return to the 4-3. Besides the fact that Abraham and Ferguson were the two best players that year, they need to remember that Curtis led the league in rushing, the team led the league in TOP, yet that defense barely qualified as a top ten defense statistically. Vilma, Ellis, Barton, Hobson and Robertson have been living off Abraham, Ferguson, Curtis and Chad for years. Bent, all those praising the 2004 defense need to consider your point.

He averaged 4 a game last season, which was good for fifth best in the NFL! All you football outsiders junkies must remember that they felt the statistics showed the defense under Herm was terrible, but that this was masked by the Jets ball control offense meaning that they were on the field a lot less. 12 tackles in three games for a defensive tackle is actually pretty good.

The only reason Reoberson is still around is he was a number one draft pick so he gets the benefit of the doubt The Jets are going to get a big dose of Marshawn Lynch and if Dewayne Robertson can shut down that center I’ll shut up but he’s only got 12 tackles on the year and I think people will come around to my way of thinking that we need to draft a run stopping defensive tackle next year.
