The First 100 Days: Day 30

by Bent on February 20th, 2009 at 11:32 pm

Just like another administration’s first 100 days, so too TJB will be keeping watch over the Rex Ryan administration for the first 100 days … playing it by the numbers if you will. Each day, we’ll try to keep the associated day number in play.

Day Thirty

Doing what he does best — That’s Drew Coleman, the Jets current number 30 in the picture above. Has his fall from starter to on the bubble been another crisis of confidence brought on by Mangini losing faith in him after his slip that led to the above TD and a 10-0 loss – or does he just not have it?

Also Worn By — Three of the coolest players in Jets history! Chris “once commented on TJB” Hayes, Brad “best short yardage back in team history” Baxter and Nuu “Nuuuuuuu” Faaola, who (until Jake Gyllenhall finally gets round to playing Broadway Joe in a the long-rumored movie), is the only player in team history to have had a movie made about himself. Random fact: His full name = Sinatausilinuu (and I didn’t even have to look that up).

30 carries — Thomas Jones carried the ball thirty times once last year – and the Jets beat the Pats. Should they do this more often, or is 30 too much?

Add your “thirties” in the comments …

    OOOO, one slip! It could have happened to anybody!!! Way to mentally shatter a perfectly good CB, Mangini.

    And FYI, he played just fine in 3 other starts and before that benching.

    yea BigKat Mangini had a tendency to play bully with the younger players-glad he’s friggin’ gone-so is Dustin Keller, Vernon, Dwight Lowery, and Marcus Henry

    Agreed. But now apparently because that crushed his confidence he is pretty bad. Maybe a new outlook from the Ryan regime will turn this guy into a player after all. As BKF says, he did well in his first 3 starts as a rookie, so was on the same curve as Lowery.
