Daily Links: He needs to hit Somebody
Posted on October 15th, 2009 by E. Weeks
- Jim Leonhard gets to face the team that shunned him when his tenure ended in Buffalo after three years of service.
- Moving forward will be a challenge but the Jets are on the right track.
- Channing Crowder is feeling all puffed up with pride … I so hope that a trip to the Meadowlands will change that in three weeks.
- Bart Scott needs to hit somebody … very badly.
- Lito is critizing the Bills for not giving T.O. a spotlight meanwhile Mark Sanchez apologizes to Dustin Keller for Monday’s misstep.
- Cotchery is giving back.
- Despite his Tweet benching, David Clowney’s patience seems to be paying off.

I hope Lito doesn’t kiss TO before the game on the field. It would be embarrassing.
Re-post from about six threads down below, late to the party as usual, just not enough time in the day to keep up with all the content;
Agree its too soon to throw this defense under the bus, but the inability to stop the run is a big red flag, as is the lack of pass rush from the base defense, no matter how you spin it.
If you HAVE to blitz to get pressure, quality NFL coaches will adjust.
Sure, you can beat the Bills and Raiders, but the bar has been set a bit higher than 9-7 this year. To beat the top teams you need to generate pressure from your base package, and stop the run when you know your opponent is going to run.
Sean Ellis has been invisible since about Week 8 last season, and Douglass is getting manhandled. Jenkins is a load but can not play more than three plays in a row before needing oxygen, and Pouha is getting abused.
The D line needs a major overhaul next season and may just be the achiles heal that keeps them from being a serious contender this year.
In the meantime it could not hurt to give some/more reps to Pit and DeVito just to see if they can bring something to the table that Ellis and Douglass can not.
How can Channing Crowder seriously be laughing when he did not stop us? He did nothing to win that game.
Matt, actually he did stop us…….on more than one occasion.
