The First 100 Days: Day 63

Posted on March 27th, 2009 by Bassett

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 Sixty Three

The Dewayne Robertson Difference — I think we’ll all agree that having a player like Kris Jenkins is a luxury for the Jets, when you think back about how the line was pushed around (starting with Dewayne Robertson) for years it’s clear that the Jets need to find themselves a long-term answer at DT in the next two years … this year if at all possible.

With the 63rd pick — Eric McMillan (S Missouri 1988), Mo Lewis (LB Georgia 1991)

Class of ‘63 — Jerry Stovall was the Jets first pick in ‘63

1963 — The Titans were 5-8-1 under coach Weeb Ewbank’s first year with the team, finishing last in the AFL East.

As Worn By – John Hennessy, Ted Banker, JP Machado, Dewayne Robertson

    Bassett,

    If you really think about it Robertson overachieved. He played a position (3-4 nose tackle) where his physical limits were blamed as the problem. If you look at him he was always a high motor guy. He may not be a difference maker on the team but he certainly played at a position that is very difficult in the nfl after never playing it in his life. His explosiveness cannot be questioned.

    I think we should sign robertson to the vet minimum to back up jenkins he will fit good for a couple of stretches in a game he’s just not a every down tackle at the nose we can use the depth and he’s still available

    My Kellen Clemens “63″ is his 5-12, 63 yard performance against the Redskins in last year’s August 16, 2008 pre-season game. Clemens came in after Favre started. He was victimized by some drops, but with the same personnel, Ratliff was 13-19 for 148 and he had some drops (Raymond dropped a sure TD, which would’ve won the game). To my eye, Ratliff clearly out-played KC, who scrambled too much, was sacked more and just didn’t look any good. Also, KC played with 2nd team WRs, not 3rd team.

    The most critical factor for the success of a QB is the strength and blocking of the OL. I believe that, with this OL, Clemens will look great, to the surprise of many of you who two years ago thought that he was good enough to replace Chad and now he is not good enough to start over Ratliff? If Ratliff beats Clemens then we will definitely have a QB in place for many years to come.

    Eric McMillan and Mo Lewis were great 63rd picks. Eric kind of fizzled after a few years, but made some memorable “BIG” plays for us. I think that’s what I remember most about him. What can I say about Mo, he was steady for years when the team around him wasn’t.

    Terrence Cody will replace Kris Jenkins.

    EMac probably had one of the better, if not best single seasons a safety could have, then fell off the radar. Unreal!

    My heart goes out to Robertson. When he was drafted, he was touted as the next 3 technique beast, the next Warren Sapp. Since we obviously passed on Warren many drafts ago and picked Kyle Brady, everyone was psyched to have Robertson and the pressure was on, which he could never live up to. We also passed Ty Law and Derrick Brooks in the same draft. WOW can we pick ‘em.

    The killer with this pick is that we moved up to get him, Kevin Williams gets picked by the Vikes a few picks later and becomes a Pro Bowler. WOW another big miss. If we stayed put instead of trading up, Troy Polemalu (sp?), Asomugha and Larry Johnson were still on the board.

    Despite not liking the statement, Kiper’s infamous line is so true about this franchise….they just don’t understand the draft. Thankfully, that has changed. Let’s hope it stays that way moving forward and continues to be solid.

    EastSide,

    The Jets would have to have a top 5 pick for that to happen.

  9. Jeff, on March 27th, 2009 at 10:50 pm Said:

    Terrence Cody is a monster and unless we screw up this upcoming season it will be hard to draft him. A possible top-5 pick next year
