Nice chat, Brian, and a good way to introduce Jane to those fans out of the NY area.

Also, a good recap of the way the season went and some of the questions we now face. Interesting tidbits about how tight that muzzle is on the players able to speak.

Why so much control over the players? If Mangini WAS Parcells or Belichick, then I could see him having that kind of weight, but that’s something you have to earn. That guy didn’t even play the game, like a Mike Singletary in SF. Big difference…

I like Jane, because she’s kind of out of the regular beat loop.
She doesn’t always repeat the same storylines, the rest of the beat collective spews.

Excellent recap and discussion/ interview with Jane who has continued to impress as a rookie on the Jets beat.
Obviously not a lot of new revelations here but it was good to get a feel for the players and the locker room after specific games, such as the KC game in which they barely won and probably should have lost due to the turnovers. Guarantee that’s a loss and the beginning of the end of the season as opposed to the spark of a 5 win streak if it were played in KC.

I know her opinion on the Jets biggest need at corner is a popular one, however my feeling is that we need another more versatile MLB to add to the LB corps which is more needed for a successful 3-4.
If we can lure Bart Scott or even Ray Lewis away with Rex from Baltimore, I think our wildest dreams would come true.
