It does say something about the Bellicheat era and all the failures of his proteges (Crennl and Mangini specifically). Maybe cheating made them look much better than they were.

Having said the above, I am looking forward to the Rex Ryan era. The Ravens with great “D” have proven that minimal offense can win with great Defense. So if Brett doesn’t come back, I am optimistic the JETS can win with Clemens or Ratliff.

I think Mangini’s a smart guy with solid philosophical ideas but a cool, dispassionate, cerebral approach just isn’t going to do it for an organization with a long-standing, low self-esteem complex. The Jets need someone who can give them a strong persona to overcome the default to lethargic self-doubt.

An attacking, hell-bent defense could easily define an attitude for the whole team.

How did JR Reed make almost one million? He didn’t even see the field!

Cut Eric Smith, Drew Coleman, and Jessie Chatman.

Maybe after all this, we will have some money to sign actual football players like Julius Peppers or Anquan Boldin. Instead, we continue to waste money on posers and busts? This front office is a joke, and I still can’t believe how much money Gholston & Pouha made. I want to puke in Tannenbaum’s face over and over again.

As for the Peppers talk. That’s a pipe dream, plus if the Jets had the cap money, I’d rather have Suggs. He knows Ryan’s defense and he’s younger (and, IMO, may be better…he averages fewer sacks, but more tackles and forced fumbles). I still hope Bart Scott can be signed to replace Barton (although that might mean Harris shifts to the strong side ILB position, which he might be better suited for anyhow). I think Scott might be relatively cheap because he’s not in a glamour position and the Ravens have to re-sign Suggs and Lewis.
