Why not? Didn't Mr. McNair say we had to get to the playoffs this year? Playoffs! Playoffs? I can't think of a single game left on the schedule that we should win. Where are the liferafts, this ship is sinking fast.

First of all, I'm the guy who has been fighting tooth and nail to keep the 4-3 Defense. Our players on the roster have been brought in to play a 4 man front. I've been hopeful to have Okoye finally pan out as he got older and stronger. My thought was that once Frank Bush started calling the plays, he'd be more aggressive about blitzing. While that leaves our inexperienced CBs on an island, if we can get pressure on the QB quickly, then Kareem Jackson and Glover Quinn don't have to cover as long. Maybe we just need to start over on defense. If the Jets score more than 30 points this week against us....I'd suggest Firing Bush after the game and naming Rhodes or Kollar the D.C. Maybe just a different voice or play-caller is what we need. Jason Garrett made the Cowboys look better when Wade couldn't...

Anyway, looking at the upcoming draft...Ryan Kerrigan, Cameron Jordan, Cameron Heyward, Jerrell Powe, Jarvis Jenkins, and Greg Romeus are moving up my draftboard.

I would like to see Troy Nolan playing some more this season to figure out if we need to draft a FS or just let him develop. He's the only player in the Secondary who has 'ball hawk' skills.

I like the idea of having Harbaugh as the HC myself. But you gotta know that
Harbaugh would insist on dumping Schaub and drafting his Stanford QB if he could convince him to come out for the 2011 Draft, assuming we'll have a
Draft next year.

How do we have anything close to the 1st pick of the draft? Without it Luck is going elsewhere.

Just in case you were wondering....these teams have defenses that I'm really enamored with and looking to poach coaches off their rosters...

Pittsburgh
Green Bay
New York Jets
Baltimore
Cleveland
Miami
San Diego
Kansas City

These teams consistently hold offenses to less than their average scoring output. That would be an answered prayer. I have the Texans defense only ahead of the Bills, Broncos, and Cardinals. I'm curious if the Broncos are second guessing allowing Mike Nolan to go to Miami.

Default How could I forget Special Teams Coach?

http://www.newyorkjets.com/team/coac...0-dfbe56cdb54f

Brad Smith is a college QB who averages 28 yards per kick return. Ben Kotwica is from West Point, but I'm not going to let that cloud my judgment. Hopefully he has learned a lot from Special Teams guru Mike Westhoff.

Ben Kotwica was promoted to assistant special teams coach after two seasons as a quality control coach on defense and special teams.

◊ Joined the Jets after two seasons as the defensive coordinator at the U.S. Military Academy Preparatory School, in Monmouth, NJ.

Well, we are now 4-6 and going nowhere fast. By the end of the season we may just be in the first 10, if not the first pick. Now that would make me sick to my stomach if we were to do that, but I'll try to look on the bright side.

When Oh When is this team finally going to get it right? It has already been 8, going on 9 years since our first year in the league.

Childress is out in Minnesota. Singletary is on the way out in SF. I assume Fox will be let go in Carolina.

I bet you guys anything that McNair keeps Kubiak for next year. The labor uncertainty (nothing uncertain about it, actually), Kubiak's contract, the competition for head coaches... I just don't see McNair making a move even if the team loses out as I expect them to.

If we end up with 7 wins they keep Kubiak, but I can easily see us getting fewer than that (maybe none after yesterday), and end up with a top 5 or near top 5pick. Combine that with our #1 in 2012 might bring the #1 overall in 2011 ?
This is of course a very unlikely scenario but stranger things have happened ?
