Peter King Wants TWO ILBS For Jets
Peter King is whipping himself into a frenzy at the thought of the Jets signing not one but two Inside Linebackers from the Ravens. Yes … TWO linebackers:
But the Jets, after some Chris Baker-type housecleaning last week, stand about $18 million under the cap this morning; I believe if coach Rex Ryan and GM Mike Tannenbaum wanted to, they could certainly afford both Lewis and fellow Ravens free-agent linebacker Bart Scott. The Cowboys are $12.3 million under.
Wouldn’t that be amazing: Ray Lewis with the [Dallas Cowboys Star] on his helmet. Or Ray Lewis coming to the Jets. Or Ray Lewis and Bart Scott to Jersey.
Ohh … Peter King … two inside linebackers? I know the team is just miles from your home, but please check out the roster and look for one David Harris …
Two? Utah, gimme two!!

king is an idiot – that suggestion is a clear indicator on his lack of knowledge of the jets roster
i think someone else posted on another thread the concept of the jets expressing interest in ray ray to jack up the price for the ravens – and i love it if that indeed is mr T’s strategy.
rayray is the face of that franchise – i just dont see how you let him walk if you are the ravens. hopefully the jets involvement makes it more expensive for the ravens to keep him – and cheaper for the jets to sign scott.

my question is, what CAN’T gary busey do?

Busey, as Mr. Joshua, can play ILB is we do not sign Scott

Peter King strikes again! If the guy had any real knowledge of our team he wouldn’t say stupid sh_t like that. It just goes to show that he shoots from the hip when writing about the Jets.

give me one, and his name be bart scott

ten things i think i think:
1) is it just me or is ian quickly becoming one of those sourpuss commentators that finds something wrong with every body. I mean jeez, if Brett Favre were to mow his lawn on a hot, sweaty day, Ian would probably ask him to put his shirt back on. Shame on you Ian.
2) This Blake Griffin kid is going to be something special. That Kelvin Sampson sure does know how to coach ‘em. Hook em’ Horns!
3) Also look for the Jets to draft a third ILB in the first round, maybe James Lauranitis. Did you know his father was the famous wrestler, the “Animal”. If I were covering teh draft on ESPN I would try real hard to get an interview with the Animal on draft day, but thats just me.
4) If I were David Harris I would be concerned that the Jets will definitely be bringing Ray Lewis, Bart Scott and James Lauranitis into camp next year.
5) AROD is a cheater and the American public should voice their disapproval that he did steroids.
6) I went hunting with Brett Favre this weekend. He showed so much joy and enthusiasm in shooting baby deers from 15 feet away with a sawed off shotgun, he is just a big kid at heart. A real fine example for us all. He looks great in an orange jumpsuit and also in camaflouge.
7) I’m planning another trip to Iraq. I hear they make a mean Hezbollah roast with a vanilla bean in Baghdad coffee shops. I hope the soldiers don’t judge me too harshly because of my coffee nerdness, effeminateness or my need to sleep with a light on.
8) I wish Terrell Owens would focus more on winning than on himself. He is selfish. There I said it. Sorry Terrell, but I have to call it like I see it. I owe that to myself.
9) Don’t be surprised if Adrian Peterson has a big year next year. I saw him working out the other day, this guy is hungry. I wouldn’t be shocked if we’re talking about him as one of the best running backs in the game come next year.
10) Look for the Jets to convert Calvin Pace and Kris Jenkins to ILBs next year, just a hunch.

Jeff says:
Liam um Adrian Peterson is the best running back in the game ever since he stepped on the field. Just the fact that he led the league in rushing per-game for 2yrs!!
Him getting better is something that should strike fear in any opponent
-
Jeff,
I do believe Liam was spoofing. Release your sphincter.
-
Who cares about the PK story, just more evidence that this guy is a total mess……..All I care about is getting a couple of those meatball sandwiches that Utah is going to get for Angelo……
Great job on that one Bassett

matthewm says:
Ray Lewis is 34 or something like that. Forgetaboutit. You can’t tell me linebackers peak at 35 or at worth millions at that age.
-
Not sure how to take Liam’s list……but I do keep reading it…lol
Most of it is completely ridiculous but It’s actually quite entertaining. I wish it were 20 things I think I think…
-
Liam –
Nice work! The only things you forgot to tell us is that there’s this new hip show called “ER” and how your daughter’s softball team is doing this year.

Bent says: Maybe he thinks the Jets can move Scott to the outside linebacker position where his speed would be an asset rushing the passer. What? Everybody seemed to want to do that with Vilma!
For the record, I am not being serious.

jim says:
mike t should a) sign leonhard, bart scott b) make a play for ron bartell c) try and trade shaun ellis/coles for a pick d) go for DE chris canty in FA and then with that ellis pick get an early second round pick so we can draft CB like vontae davis, moore, alphonso smith (malcom jenkins will b long gone) and second round take kenny britt (6-4, 215) or josh freeman.. take a tackle or guard in 3rd round to fill in for moore, RB in 4th (TJ turning 30)… and cap permitting we sign leon and mangold to long term deals
If they sign two, what does that mean for Harris? I would think they will go after both and sign one.
Besides an ILB, we really need a CB, S, RB and a tall fast WR. And ifMoore is cut, a RG or RT.
