Jacobs Would Consider Jets?
I want to be a Giant. It was a situation. We were rivals then. There’s no apology needed. I like the way Rex handles his business. The guys on that team I know, know how I feel.

Phil T. says:
So he’s saying Rex was in the wrong? I’m glad to hear he’s willing to forgive without the apology.
And no thanks to the Jets adding him.

Mikey Chase says:
Please no to a fat slow running back who can’t catch a ball out of the backfield to save his life to backup Shonn Greene.

With Jacobs,Holmes and Moss on the same team Rex would have to bring in Dr Phil twice a week to keep the team together.

Bent says: With his outspoken postseason comments and his upcoming appearance on TNA Impact it sounds like he’s already turning into Bart Scott.
-
JimmyD says:
He’ll never be Bart Scott. Bart Scott hasn’t won a thing.

He would be too scared of the contact and only punk kickers and wives of players.

Bent says:
Manning, Moss, Jacobs…sounds like a plan. Wait, this is 2007 isn’t it?
-
Christian says:
haha!

I have to agree with Jacobs, there is no apology neede. I wouldn’t say he is a bad guy but he is slow. And didn’t he say he wants to be a Giant
This is the 2nd dat Stieny just asks a question. What is the point? Just to see how the droogs will reply. -
-
Bent says:
In what way?
-
PA Matt says:
He’s reporting that Jacobs is open to coming here, andthen turning it over to a disucssion. Pretty common for any active blog. In fact, many places just throw discussion points out there with no impetus at all; at least this has one!

That’s great JJ. All the best to you both.

Great news, glad everything’s working out for you and the wife.
Tell her to get well soon from the gang at TJB.

God Bless man. Both your wife and the sister of one of the guys who runs theknicksblog got their cancer cured. Nice to hear good news for a change.

I hope Rex signs him to one year and F’s with him the whole time. Sit him on the bench and torment him during practice

+1, that would be hilarious.

Ed L says:
no moss and no jacobs plleeaassseeeeee…..
-
Jacobs is so desperate for a deal. He’s told the Giants he is willing to take a pay cut. He expresses willingness to play for the Jets. He’ll go anywhere he can get paid.
This guy is a bum. Stay away.
As levi said, no manning, no moss, no jacobs.

mike francesser says:
Jacobs would consider the Jets, but the Jets would have no interest in an old, slow, overrated RB with a big mouth.
-
ED says:
PLease PASS. We need an apple from the tree, not the barrel.

Lets get some real issues on the table like Who are we looking at with the 16th pick drafting, Since the news of Mark Barron injury I’m not sure.TRADING DOWN is an option? I saw rotoworld had us taking J.blackmen. HE CAN’T fall that far can he?

mikebe1 says:
im sorry guys but jacobs is the exact type of guy i feel and lt feels we need if we r gonna be a tough talking and tough walking team he is our guy.
-
jsa says:
Jacobs wouldn’t be anywhere close to mytop choice, but I wouldn’t be completely against getting him. We did pretty well in 2009 with two power backs in Jones and Greene.

Vinny T says:
NO BRANDON JACOBS!
-
What the hell is he talking about when he says “no apology needed”? He went after Rex after the game and said “It’s time to shut up fat boy” and Rex responded to that. Unless he is proclaiming that he does not need to apologize to Rex, in which case he needs to learn how appologies work: The guy who was wronged is the one who decides this stuff.
-
Jellis says:
We already have a between the tackles running back with no break away speed, why do we need another one?
-
Jets Babyy says:
If I where the Jets I would insult him with the Vet minimum and if he accepts let him in, if opens him mouth cut his A$$. Thats how Rex will get his payback lol.
I heard Manning said he would consider the Texans it only makes sense if he wants to send a big F-U to the Colts, Pluss Texans are stacked.
Go Jets
-
ben says:
He does not fit the typical Sparano RB…
Ronnie Brown, Ricky Williams, Reggie Bush are all more flexible backs with good hands who can make tacklers miss. -
Ok so nobody wants jacobs….thank goodness if you do you clearly dont see the jets as a real smart oragnization
-
if he opens his mouth* I am talking about BJ.
-
This guy (jacobs ) will be out of the league in 2 years. Keep him, there is so much better talent out there… Draft someone and develop them…
-
2yrs might be pushing it…who is really gonna give this guy a deal if the GIANTS dont take him back that’s all you need to know.
-
jameson says:
I hate to be the first…
But, I would take a flier on Brandon Jacobs. (there, I said it).
While I would prefer a more versatile back to replace LT (my first choice is Doug Martin out of Illinois; reminds me of Ray Rice), we might have a thinner version of that on roster already in McKnight. Joe has shown great wiggle, great hands, and break-away/playmaking speed. If McKnight is who ‘we’ think he is, we might need another bruiser on the roster. Bilal Powell does not fit that bill; as he’s the exact same size as McKnight, only slower.
Face it, Greene gets banged up every season, and we need another goal-line back on the team…especially if we’re going to convey this “Ground and Pound” run-first mentality. So why not Jacobs?
Because he’s a douche?
Because he’s outspoken and brash?
If Rex brings him in, it will be with the understanding that he is to be a vocal presence in the locker-room; and an extension of management.Rex has to let BJ know, that he is the big-dog…and if BJ agrees, he can be an effective henchman, to assist leading the lockerroom.
Holmes isn’t going to step up to BJ. Nobody will. The question is, can BJ come in and postively affect the offense?
-
Doug Martin went to Boise State. My bad.
He’s still a bad-ass.
(5’9, 220) and can do it all. -
Green Lantern says:
People say they want a locker room presence how is a loud, 2 time super bowl winner a negative.
When Brandon Jacobs is running downhill he is still a force. Some people just need to stop being so sensitive nd worry about seeing a better team.-
the only time he runs down hill is when he runs down hill
unfortunately for him, most football fields are level
-
hahaha…love it
-
-
-
-
Wouldntbe opposed to it and I don’t have a clue why anyone would actually. Put a great line in front of Jacobs, Shonn Greene and McKnight and we could run over anyone.
-
my problem with Jacobs isnt his mouth…its the fact that 2 of the last 3 years he has a ypc rate under 4. Why should we overpay for that?
-
oh, and he may be the only player in the league with worse hands than Greene
-
Bent says:
Did Becht finally retire?
-
Wolf says:
Bent,
I was SHOCKED when I saw Becht on the field against the Jets.
-
Bent says:
It’s pretty remarkable that all four 2000 first rounders lasted into 2011.
Maybe only Abe will last into 2012 though.
-
It was the best draft in Jets history.
-
You’re forgetting Coles didn’t make it to 2011.
-
PK gave us a C- for the 2000 draft.
“Grade : C-
Call me a nut. I like Laveranues Coles, who has Deion speed and, at 77 overall, is an almost riskless pick. “I’m not down to my last strike, because I don’t have any strikes left,” Coles said after getting picked by the Jets. “I’m on pins and needles. Generally when a guy gets dismissed he’s not allowed back into football, so I’m thankful for the opportunity. They didn’t bring me in to replace Keyshawn. They brought me in to help with special teams and do whatever the coaches tell me.”
Now, I don’t like leaving the receiver thing alone until the third round, and I don’t like thinking that the Jets will have two sub-6-foot starting wideouts if Coles and Wayne Chrebet start. The big question here is: Is Keyshawn Johnson for John Abraham and Anthony Becht a good trade? Didn’t think you’d think it was.
One more point to make about the events of the last week in New York: The knee-jerkers condemning the Jets for not making Keyshawn the highest-paid receiver in history should remember that it’s that sort of live-for-today thinking that got New York into what one NFL capologist calls the worst financial shape of any team entering the next two years. “They’re the 49ers waiting to happen,” said this cap man. By 2002, two fading stars — quarterback Vinny Testaverde and running back Curtis Martin — will count $20.4 million against the cap. The whole idea behind accumulating more good young players is to get a grip on a salary structure so out-of-control that a nickel back, Ray Mickens, is due to make $5.7 million in 2002. Oh yeah. Chad Pennington. Ask 10 guys in the NFL whether he’s going to be a good NFL starter and you’ll get five guys coming down on each side.”
-
Bent says:
Good to see the Jets were “in cap jail” back in 2000 too (and of course they were fine because they went to the postseason four times in five years and it was only after 2005 that they really had cap issues.
-
-
Bent says:
He wasn’t a first rounder, they got him in the third.
-
-
SackDance99 says:
I’d go with 1977, which yielded Marvin Powell and Wesley Walker in the 1st 2 rounds, Scott Dierking in the 4th, Joe Klecko in the 6th, Kevin Long in the 7th, Dan Alexander in the 8th and Matt Robinson in the 9th. Powell, Walker and Klecko are TJB HOFers and Dan Alexander probably should be. By any measure, 1977 was one heck of a draft!
-
Bent says:
Degree of difficulty is a little easier when you have four first rounders too.
-
-
-

-
-
Who said anything about overpay? they havent even talked figures and he’d be a backup RB, if we want to be Ground and Pound we need another RB and LT’s YPC has been below 5 for a while now and he was helpful in the running game these past two years.
Its obvious you all still feel some type of way about Jacbos.

-
Why don’t we bring mckenzie back while we are at it. Even if we consider bringing in jacobs. UGH! We need new blood!!!!! Not giant vets.
-
Becht Blew from day 1
-
I remember him being a very good blocker, but having stone hands.

Jeff says:
Yup, he was Kyle Brady 2.0

Jets suck with TES!!!!

Bect, Brady, Jolly, Baker, Keller.

Mitchell?

Jumbo Elliot says:
No need for Jacobs, he wont be worth the $$$ and he could create locker room problems. It would be sweet to take someone from the hated giants though

Paul HAckett says:
Free Agency/draft plan:
Sign: Safety (Branch,Griffin or Landry), WR (Edwards Colston or someone else) OT
Draft: OLB (upshaw), another safety, MLB, RB -
Jetsfan29 says:
Sign him to vet minimum and trade bill Powell for a 5th round pick or less, sign Jared Allen too! Considering our Dline coach is from minnesooota. Then draft safety and oline tes and LBs with all our picks I’m sure we should have a strong OLine depth safety tandem and lbs galore with Keller Cumberland and a blocking tight end! As the guy from the fantasy commercial said “championship”
-
Bent says:
I can’t see Powell having any value on the trade market. Affording Jared Allen is a stretch too.
-
So is he a wasted pick?
-
Did you say McKnight was a wasted pick after his rookie year? I bet you did.
-
joeyboy79 says:
Its too early with powell but he only averaged 2 and change per carry. He didnt show me anything. I didnt expect much as he is a rook with little playing time, but the future good ones you can usually see something. I didnt, but time will tell.
-
Bent says:
No, not a wasted pick (yet), but he did nothing as a rookie, so nobody would give up anything for him when he hasn’t lived up to his selection yet.
