The argument I make is that when 2 of the 8! people you drop into coverage are David Bowens and Calivin pace what are you covering? Not a lot! 270lb people covering is like having statues covering leon. Rush 3 and you suck is my point. Of course a sack will happen here or there but not enough to warrant not pressuring a NFL QB.

Those other guys spent those lean years learning.

Moss, Brick, Vilma, Ghostboy (Gholston), Thomas, Heath Miller (I meant Doug Jolley) and Mangold who seems to be okay. Every time I see Bryan Thomas and his ALMOST sacks I think man this guy better have a nice grill after missing most of his rookie season due to braces. That and how the Jets really needed a safety that year and could've had Ed Reed. I'd rather have them to trade every high first round draft pick they get and simply get the hell out of their own way.

He has said already that he wants to play his 2 YEARS OF COLLEGE BALL. Sorry to burst everyone’s bubble, but your gonna half to wait another year for a chance to draft Cody.

As for the Jets pressure, I would like to keep the same amount of pressure on. It appears that the speed we have on the outside with Pace and thomas is enough with the brute force we maintain inside. Can we say the Jets finally are one of the best RUN STOPPING TEAMS IN THE NFL? I think so!!! Cody is a beast, goes to show that technique can only take you so far, haha.
