———————————————————————————————
1st Round: Melvin Ingram (OLB) – Someone who has skyrocketed up the boards this season. Spent time at DE and DT for the Gamecocks in their 4-3 system. Has natural pass rushing abilities, and a knack for a big play. Great motor. Spent time against some of the best offensive linemen in the country. Athletically gifted. Would need to learn the 3-4 position, from what I’ve heard he’s a smart player and this should be definitely possible.
2nd round: Mike Adams (OT) – I love this kid. He’s massive and a mauler. Experienced enough to step in right away at RT and be solid. Comes from a program that turns out solid offensive linemen often. Pedigree is there.
3rd round: Marvin McNutt (WR) – Tons of production in college. Combined with sure hands, polished route running and experience in a pro-offense, this kid is another one who could step right in and compete for a job. He’s got the size we need to play outside the numbers.
Mario Williams Wants to Win, Not looking for a BlockBuster deal. Hello Mike Tannenbaum?
February 16th, 2012When Asked if he was looking to cash in and be one of the highest paid at his position Super Mario responded:
“I’m not worried about that,” Williams said Thursday. “It’s really not that big of a deal to me.
“I was the first pick (2006), and I’ve already had everything I really wanted, so my biggest thing is to be in a good position, a good scheme, a good system and continuing my career. Hopefully, it works out.
“It’s always important to be in a position to be successful. That comes with teammates around you, coaching, having that winning attitude. You want to (play) where you can thrive no matter where you are.”
“I love it here,” Williams said. “We’ve got everything we need here. The team is right where it needs to be. The pieces fit, but it’s part of business. Whatever happens, happens.”
Well this bodes very well for the Jets. The Jets are in desperate need of that pure edge rusher in New York. With Brady and the Patriots constantly nipping at the heels of the Jets, New York needs to make a serious slash to bring in some serious heat off the edge. Right now the Jets are built with good solid players along the front 7. Good interior guys and real hard working “lunch bucket” types that really do a great job stuffing the run. However after that it’s been a nightmare for N.Y to get after opposing QB’s. Calvin Pace is nothing more then your average, solid “run of the mill” OLB and Bryan Thomas is basically of the same cloth. Mario would give N.Y a great punch off the edge. However with money and cap room there is another Team desperately in the mix for an edge rusher up in New England.
I would expect Mike Tannenbaum to keep his ear to the curb on Mario. Stay tuned Jets fans!!
Bob Sutton Promoted to Bizare position as Asst. Head coach/Linebackers
February 13th, 2012Jets announce Bob Sutton promoted to asst. head coach/linebackers, Lance Taylor now asst TEs coach/QC. #nyj
—————————————————————————————
The Bob Sutton saga continues with Jets. In Jets latest news Bob Sutton has been promoted to asst head coach/Linebackers. A rather odd title for a coach. Perhaps this is Rex doing his do diligence to get Sutton a head coach opportunity? Seems like it.
Curtis Martin Makes the Pro Football Hall of Fame
February 4th, 2012
Congratulations to Curtis Martin. A long wait but the wait is over. It’s finally arrived, Curtis ‘my favorite’ Martin has made the pro football hall of fame. Joining Curtis in the Hall are Jack Butler, Chris Doleman, Cortez Kennedy, Willie Roaf & Dermontti Dawson.
Curtis has touched the lives of so many people with his play on the field but one thing often forgotten is Curtis,the man off the field. A genuine, classy and honest man. The kind of guy you’d want your kids to emulate. He played hurt, he played through tremendous pain. He was the epitome of a great running back and what a man is supposed to look like. We couldn’t be happier to have #28 enshrined in football lore forever.
Curtis Martin accomplishments and accolades.

Jets Teammates Have talked to Holmes. Confident They can Move forward
February 2nd, 2012JennyVrentas Jenny Vrentas
Dustin Keller said he’s talked to Santonio since season ended, also said Sanchez + Santonio talked. Confident Jets can move forward.
———————————
At this particular juncture the Jets and their players and ill-afford to be in turmoil with their star wideout. Holmes and Sanchez are doing the right thing, staying out of the limelight and letting things cool down. They really have to come together and try to make this work.
Jets Sign Dolphins OL coach Dave Deguglielmo
January 25th, 2012Seams as if Sparano is going to bring in some familiar faces to help him anchor this offense. Ex-Dolphins offensive line Coach gets the nod.
DeGuglielmo joins the Jets after spending the last three seasons as Miami’s offensive line coach (2009-11). Under DeGuglielmo this season, the Dolphins’ offensive line blocked for a running game that gained 1,987 yards and produced Reggie Bush’s first career 1,000-yard season. Dolphins tackle Jake Long has been selected to the Pro Bowl during each of DeGuglielmo’s three seasons in Miami.
