I don’t know guys. I know it was pre-season but Eric Smith was our best player then. He has been our only playmaker all season. Smith lacks the coverage skills of Rhodes but had he been in on that Welker play that everyones taking about , Welker would have got the snott knocked out of him. That would have made those guys think twice about crossing the middle.

Can someone tell me outside of one play i can think of with Harris that the jets made a receiver pay for catching a ball? You guys do remeber that Elam couldn’t cover but made plays for us last season.

Let Smith do the hitting and Jimmy do the covering.

Wow! Franchez had a great week of practice against such a “violent” defense! (sic)

Ho hum – The Jets defensive strategy in the late stages of games has been: If you take one of our [plays off], we’ll take two of yours…

Sorry, Sec 103, but I’ve been waiting two years for Kerry to step up and make some impactful plays. With his mouth and play, he reminds me of the defensive version of Braylon Edwards. Hey don’t they both have the same modeling agent?

Bitter? I’m not bitter! Who said I was bitter? :-)

Keep in mind guys, that Rhodes will still see a lot of playing time this game (in Eric Smith’s role) and can actually make more of an impact in a smaller, more motivated role.

Guys….the defense is not going to get better without Rhodes….Rhodes has underachieved which is why he was benched not because Smith is a better option.

Carolina runs the ball alot so E Smith playing this week might not be a bad thing since his talent is playing close to the line of scrimmage.

The ebst thing we can hope for is a few games of Smith and then Rhodes get his job back…..and plays the way he is supposed to.

** Just realized I will miss 2 games while I am in China since we play this Thursday night which will be China’s Friday morning…..ugh!!

Well hopefully this good week of practice will translate into the Panthers game. Perhaps Ryan’s involvement in the offense will get Sanchez back on track.

I think Rhodes is a decent safety. Put Jim Leonard in his body, and you’ll have an all-pro. I’d love to have a big hitter in our defensive backfield that recievers fear.

All I can say is we shall see. It will be a boost if they cope well without him, but don’t bank on it.

Bent — I am generally impressed about your fund of knowledge(especially as it relates to contracts and financial issues) but…….I will be shocked if the pass defense struggles BECAUSE Rhodes will not start.
