Off subject but does anyone else besides myself think that the Jets should cut their losses with Gholston and convert him back to his natural position, DE?

What would be the harm in doing that?

I hate bandwagoners, how come no one questioned his poor work ethic from the start? He is all mouth no production. He only shows up on payday to get money for nothing.

That being said,

Draft Eric Berry

I don’t think it was just Rhodes who cost the game. Don’t forget the first half when Jax put up 21 points. That was an issue too. As far as the game against the Pats. I sure do hope the Jets win. It will put them back in the mix onlly one game out. However it will not be easy. Pats will be out gunning after last nights loss and want to get back at the Jets for week2. The Jets need to fix what ever is the problem is with them and get ready and play a crisp game on Sunday. GO JETS!

i said coming in 9-7 rookie qb, rookie head coach. things dont just drop in your lap. a little less yap and a few more plays (Rhodes) is needed. unfortunate injuries for sure, but machines overcome this. we are not a machine and thats to be expected. learn from the mistakes. dont throw ryan under the bus just yet. he has some personnel decisions to make, including his asst coaches. a work in progress. they playing for their jobs.

Oh, you won’t hear an argument here that he is disappointing. It’s just been a day long “IT’S RHODES’ LOSS” campaign that has gotten to me. And Lewis was most certainly in tight. Go to the game highlights on the main page, pause the video at 3:47. There are clearly 3 helmets on the near side of the line to the left of the center. And you can also see where Rhodes was positioned (he was outside the TE, thinking he had Leonhard helping in the deep 1/3), pushing Lewis towards the inside.

Oo im not saying he is theirs a long list of people at fault especially this coaching staff, but he is the most DISSAPOINTING player onthis jets d. and lewis was in the slot check the highlights

Lewis wasn’t lined up in the slot. He was a down in a 3 point stance. And I’m not saying Rhodes has performed exceptionally. I’m saying this preconceived notion that everything is Rhodes’ fault, and then neglecting to acknowledge some of our other defenders had equally huge mistakes is irresponsible. People take a vendetta against the guy because he is outspoken, and I understand that to a point. But to say this loss is Rhodes’ fault? C’monnnnn man (Cris Carter voice).

and i think jets fans are using him as a scapegoat because of all the upside he had shown just a couple years ago instead of progressing into an all pro safety he has regressed to an average run of the mill safety. This is typical of the mets and the jets, he has what some would call doc gooden syndrome minus all the cocaine use. I believe he would flourish in another city but the new york nightlife consumes this pretty buy. The thing that bothers me the most is how cocky he still is and hes done nothing he pumps his fist with every breakup like weve just clinched the division and when he screws up he just shakes his head as if to say “it’s not my fault” as when he blaimed revis for the ginn touchdown on twitter. c’mon man this guy is a punck and i believe bad for the team

Brendan i understand you dont wanna come to grips with the fact kerry rhodes isn’t the player he once was, he didnt only get beat on the mercedes lewis play but he failed to realize that if mercedes lewis is in the slot he is going deep, jim leonhard knew but kerry had no clue. his minds just not in the game and i hope he does come around but truthfully hes done nothing this whole season besides allow running backs to ride his coattail for a couple extra yards.

My point is that you can go through every single player on that defense, and play this game. Jim Leonhard missed a tackle on the first TD. Sheppard missed one on the Sims-Walker TD. David Harris couldn’t get off his block and opened up a lane for Garrard to run through, when he knew Rhodes was blitzing and he wouldn’t have safety help.

Point being: everyone is to blame, not just Rhodes. Jets fans constantly looking for a scapegoat and the act is getting old.
