Training camp is over, there's only one more preseason game and the season opener starts in a week. This is a problem that has been many years in the making and may not be rectified until next year (at earliest). The Jets haven't taken a WR earlier than the 4th round since 2001 with the selection of Santana Moss. I think a good parallel for this team is the 2006 Chicago Bears, a team that won with a dominating defense, a special teams ace (Hester for them, Washington for us), a solid running game (led by Thomas on both teams) and a reliable possession receiver (Cotchery and Berrian are comparable). If the 'Chez can be more consistent than Grossman was, we may see similar success. Igs,

That's his perfect role. Picture him as a poor man's Anquan Bolddin. One of the problems has been that LC is also a perfect #2 reciever. Stuckey's a good slot guy. And everybody left is right now at best a 4. So why are we sitting around acting like this is really going to work out. Ed, good point but I’d challenge you in one place,

Let' not blame Farve for Cotchery's poor performance. The only one to blame is Cotchery. Let’s face it, Cotchery’s performance declined last year because Cotchery is at best a #3 receiver.

That said, it would have been a 50 yard gain if Brad didn't screw up the pitch.

He hasn't gotten the ball to Cotchery, all pre-season. He forgot about Keller for most of last season and against Baltimore, last week. I can go on and on. His play calling is hurting. The first play, last week, he had Hunter go in motion and then crack-back for a nice gain by TJ. That was the end of the intelligent play calling, for the rest of the game. Similar to last year. We would get one good drive, with creative play calling and that would be all. We need Callahan to run the Offense. Send Schottenheimer to Cleveland.

Memories like these really make me question Schotty all over again. …that double reverse was also in a torrential downpour at nighttime.
