I’ve kind of liked what Sparano has done in Miami so far, although I admittedly haven’t paid a lot of attention to them. Their QB situation is not impressive, but I like Reggie Bush going there. He was definitely not worth the #2 overall pick and was way overpaid in New Orleans but still brings a lot of value to a football team as long as they don’t try to use him as an every-down back.
@michaelombardi: Just updated Nnamdi situation–49ers telling people they are out…Right now, Dallas and Jets, Ryan brothers are battling
@michaelombardi: Both Jets, Cowboys can recruit, as someone once told me, Jerry Jones “could talk a cat off a fish truck” true[/quote]
You know John I never did Twitter till this week, just because I get quicker updates as vs the websites.
Man I would love, love to hear the phone calls between Nnamdi and each team. That would be very entertaining.
He will be a Cowboy, you forget he used to play for Rob Ryan in Oakland. [/quote]
Shit, I did forget about that.
Well, I’d rather have him as a Jet, but I like him more for the Cowboys than Oakland or the Texans. If the 'Boys get him, good for them.

Yea on the Boys forums a lot of guys are asking if JJ hired Ryan to get Nnamdi. I am like you I would rather see him a cowboy or a Jet.
Dont you think the Jets should have spent time trying to get a pass rusher instead of another CB? Ray Edwards from the Vikes would be a hell of an addition.

i like the bush move too but injuries concern me after 5 years of ronnie i can see how injuries really stifles a running back… i like sparano’s intensity and drive and last year we started off great but somewhere down the line he lost the locker room and he’s not offense oriented… he’s an o-line coach so he loves to run and the play calling last year was shitty…
I wouldn’t think it likely that JJ got Ryan just for Nnamdi- Ryan was due for an upgrade. But Nnamdi, certainly, could have been a contributing factor.
In terms of passrush, Jets drafted two D lineman, both of whom are good passrushers.
I think, ultimately, Rex feels that having the outside(s) totally shut down gives him the latitude to be extremely creative with blitz packages–and he has a lot of faith in the linebacking core, who, given 1-2 more seconds, will probably prove a lot more effective than last year.
Add to that the fact that having the shutdown corners on both sides allows him the chance to take the rookie d-lineman and bring them up in his system at his pace (rather than throwing them to the wolves and hoping for the best, like with Mangold).
Plus, Rex likes the attention and the limelight, and having the Asomugha/Revis combo brings the Jets back to where he likes them: at the absolutely center of focus, and involved in every single conversation about football.
Could the money be better spent elsewhere? Possibly.
John Good points, I wonder if Rob is as dynamic in person, he has not been portrayed as charismatic as his brother. I wonder if it gets done today or will this drag through the weekend.
Joe McNight is he going to be a bust?
Anybody hear about Vernon Gholston? Is he going to start doing BB’ing yet?
Wonder what miraculously timed injury will keep him out of training camp next year[/quote]
Talk about a bust. That kid will be out of the league in two years if he doesnt break out this year.[/quote]
He counfounds me… he makes ridiculous plays, but is also a headcase and seems to run the wrong routes at times (hard to tell whose fault those are, but Smith doesn’t throw to the wrong area of the field for any other receivers).
And I seriously can not take one more Alex Smith 5yard dumpoff that sails 10 feet over someone’s head. I’ve never seen someone with such a good (decent) mid-to-long range ball who simply can’t throw under 5 yards.

Well if harbaugh cant make him a serviceable QB than he is a bust for sure.
Crabtree fucking broke my heart when he made that TD against UT. But he has continued to show that he is immature and has an inflated ego. There is a really good chance he ends up a bust not for lack of talent but lack of brain cells.
RB Willis McGahee reaches agreement with Denver on a 3-yr deal for $7,500,000, including $3 million guaranteed.[/quote]
Guess that means LenDale “Tequila Truck” White is off the team[/quote]
Hell the way Denver goes through RB you never know. [/quote]
No doubt. I honestly stopped keeping track of Denver’s RB situation, as that fuckwit Josh McDaniel signed about 20 third-rate running backs to the roster during his short tenure, while trading away the only good one for an expensive 3rd string QB. Hopefully McGahee still has some productive years in him so I can actually get to know and remember who the team’s backs are.
DJ looks like the Boys are looking into Nnamdi now. I actually hope yall snag him. Many are going haywire about how the Jets coverage would be unstoppable with him. He just doesnt hit. Revis picks his side and Nnamdi has never be that type of player in his carreer. Also, Nnamdi is going to expect a hefty payroll and Jets probably wont have that room.
