He has been quite the leader here, he does a weekly segment with SNY, and he has remained at the facility after the injury to stay involved and try and keep moral up. Personally I love him, and I think he is regarded by many Jets fans as one of our top three players. We are definitely missing him, nobody else on our roster can collapse the middle and take up two guys like big Jinx. Injuries are a little concerning, he wore down last year down the stretch, but that was because Mangini had him in on every snap, we rotated him better this year, but then lady luck played her hand and he went down with a serious injury.

Been really impressed with him since he came over, he is most definitely a fan favourite.

He always did interviews post-game win or lose.
And when he’s happy he does a little dance and tries to get the interviewer to dance with him.

He actually liked Mangini and credits him for the resurgence in his career.

He’s also a supporter of Braylon Edwards and thinks Braylon can turn things around in New York just like he did after leaving Carolina.

The worst thing that happened to us this year was going 3-0 to start the season, it heaped false expectation on the season. Before the year, most Jets fans I know has us going 8-8/7-9 around their, but after 3-0 we were Superbowl contenders. it was unrealistic. I can’t really attribute one play, obviously losing Jenkins was a massive dent, the last minute loss to Miami was crushing and then to lose Leon. It all kind of snowballed in a couple of weeks.

We have a problem with some players talking too much and doing little on the field. We also have a problem with getting all our segments to turn up on the same day. If our offence turns up, our defence goes missing, and visa versa, if they both turn up, the Special Teams go on holiday like the Miami home game.

This is an area that is being hotly debated after his latest meltdown, and the fanbase seems to be very split right now. I think the majority understand that he is a rookie, learning the ropes, perhaps we are asking him to do too much etc

A minority are already calling for his head which I think is very premature, he has the skill set, he has the mentality he just needs to bring it together. There was an interesting article today in the NY Times about his passer rating which is one area where he is heavily criticised and it compared it to players like Elway/Aikman and McNabb all of whom had a lower one.

Personally I believe that he is the future, right now his confidence is at 0, so I’m not looking forward to seeing your 5th ranked pass defence take him on. I think we opened the play-book up a little too much after his early success, and we need to scale it back off to high % completions. Having a deep threat in Edwards might not of been the best move for Sanchez short term but it will be long term.

apart from when the ASHES come around of course lol My mother was born in Kyabrum in Australia, so got a soft spot for the country. When it comes to sporting events though, no holds barred lol

Darrelle Revis absolutely shut Moss down, and I think it’s a case of him being dominated over years that has forced him to refuse to show the respect that Revis deserves.

Randy Moss’s games against the Jets since Revis arrived:

11/22/09- 5REC- 34 yards 13Lng 1 TD
9/20/09 — 4REC – 24 Yds 9Lng 0TD
11/13/08 — 3REC – 26 Yds 16Lng 1TD
9/14/08 — 2REC – 22 Yds 14Lng 0TD
12/16/07 — 5REC- 79 Yds 46Lng 0TD
09/09/07 — 9REC – 183 Yds 51Lng 1TD

The 183 yard game was Revis’s first in the NFL, starting as a rookie after missing a lot of training camp because we were trying to get him tied up to 6 years instead of the 5 he wanted. He did end up signing for 6 years. His TD this weekend was on a 4 yard route that nobody could of done anything about, was just a perfect ball. Numerous times they tried that deep bomb to Moss that seems to work every week, and numerous times Revis batted it down, Moss was actually called on a pass interference which prevented Revis from getting his 2nd INT against him this season, Revis picked off one of the bombs to Moss in the first game.

Not sure if you read about it, but with something like 20 seconds to go on Sunday and the game in hand, Brady/Moss and maybe BB decided to throw a deep ball on Revis, obviously wanting to run up the score, which definitely made a few Jets fans and Rex Ryan mad. Rex could be seen saying ‘F**k them’ on the sideline, and then after the game said something like our guy (Revis) is going to come down with it more often than their guy (Moss). Revis had perfect coverage on the play and the ball fell incomplete.

Personally I wouldn’t play Steve Smith in fantasy football if you have a decent alternative. It was the trade with Carolina that allowed us to move up and select him, and for that an eternal thank you. Most definitely our best player by far, and was worth every penny of what we gave up to get him.
