Favre has already commented how fast our fan base loses faith. Is that what you all want to be known for? We argued all summer about this team because we love this team. I still believe and I hate our QB situation. We have issues. Ever team does, but until we are matihmatically eliminated from the playoffs this team is going to the superbowl. Can we try to enjoy it while we have the 16 weeks to watch them? Sheesh go Jets!

It may be better to mix in some 4-3 looks than playing 4-3 consistently. But when Jenkins was out of the game last week the Jets stuck with the 3-4. I think this was a mistake.

Gholston would never have been drafted that high to play end in a 4-3. He’s really too small for the position at the NFL level. Though, they can mix in some 4-3 looks here and there, the Jets are finally built to play 3-4 and would fare poorly playing 4-3 consistently with the personnel they have.

It was understood that VG’s conversion to 3-4 LB would be where his NFL upside was. And that it would be a project. I think they’ve had him on the field too much, if anything. I’d rather not see him out there on anything but 3rd and longs at this point.

You are right. When Jenkins went out last week I expecting the Jets to start playing the 4-3. Mangini and company need to make adjustments during the game. Bottom line I think the Jets would have more sucess playing the 4-3. We’re asking Jenkins to play nose tackle in the 3-4 when he came from a 4-3 defense. Before the season began it was a concern if he would hold up. We’re asking Gholston to play outside linebacker in the 3-4 when he was a defensive end in the 4-3. Mangini try being a little flexable.

And on offensive I wold say the same. Chad is gone. We have Farve now. Use him and exploit his strengths. Can anyone on the Jets coaching staff say slant pattern.

Our defense played well against the Pats. It was feild position that beat us. Based on feild position the Jets should have been blown out that game.

kc
Gholston played defensive end in a 4-3 defense. Mangini and company are trying to make him a outside linebacker in the 3-4 defense.

i clearly remember the paties running and screening us to death while our soft defense didn’t and couldn’t stop them at all…and if you dont concider what SD did to us as knock us around then your on drugs and flooting on cloud 9…and you need to stop being greedy and pass that ****e…

kc,

You are expecting Gholston to make miracles. What I am trying to say is that his comfort zone has always been on the line so just for one game the jets coaching staff should give him that chance to show his greatness instead of slowing down the pass rush of this team. There are different ways to rush the quarterback and Mangini knows that Jenkins isnt 100 percent yet. If i was Mangini I would split the reps in the middle between Mosley, Pouha, and Jenkins in the 4-3 and then use Ellis outside and rotate him with Coleman while Gholston takes the snaps on the other side with Thomas rotating in. This will allow Gholston to use his bull rush and his quick first step. In the middle will be harris and to the other sides will be Barton and Pace repsectively. The rotation system is perfect for this game because it force Warner to key on his tight ends and runningbacks during game which will be covered by Barton and Pace who doesnt have rush in on running plays and drop back into coverage something Kurt Warner mentioned when he was interviewed earlier this week. We will play the same defense like 2004 when we beat them in Arizona. This game is all about pressuring Kurt Warner so that the offense can run the ball down their throats since their nose tackle is hurting and their star defensive end is hurting with a groin injury.

Am I the only one who sometimes thinks this blog should require a breathalyzer?

We didn’t get knocked around by the Pats. You all want the sky to fall. What drugs were any of us on to think a former 4-12 team could beat the Chargers. GET SOME GRIT SOME OF YOU! or prove Peter King right. It’s week 4 you Nancys.
