Nothing makes me happier when some of my favorite players from one of my teams get signed by my other team.
Example: Vilma from the Jets to the saints
Nick Toon (Al's kid) signs w/ saints
Jimmy Lenard signs with saints
Ivory from saints to Jets
Stuff like this just makes me smile. But, I feel as though there needs to still be one more "cross signing"
The Jets did some work the past few days and I love it. They addressed some of their defensive issues in the first round. Got some solid players that we will
have to see if they are the real deal
. The departure of Revis will be survived. No matter what some people think, you don't pay a corner that much money. To be honest, the Defense is the last thing I am worried about. Defense is Rex's thing. And if he doesn't produce a decent defense then he doesn't deserve to coach. PERIOD!
The jets did something I have been asking for them to do for the past 6 months. They have solidified their running game with 2 legit running backs. Ivory (baring an injury) is a meaner version of Marshion Lynch. And Goodson is a good 3rd down back. Other teams need to respect our running game this year. And when you have to respect a running game, it opens up the passing game (just ask Flacco).
They drafted a number of offensive lineman so lets assume some of them
pan out there. The drafting of Geno in the second round was an interesting move. If this kid is as "football smart" as a lot of people say then this may not be awful. I think they still have a hole at tight end they need to fill (Would love it to be Tebow but probably won't be). And then of course, Wide Receiver.
Holmes should be back and he will be our one. Now I know he's prob a 2 at this point but he will be out 1. Kerely proved last year that he is a legit #3 slot receiver They Like Steven Hill and if he could catch, wouldn't be a bad option but he needs to "develop" (learn to catch the ball). So I feel the Jets need a good Veteran receiver that will be cheaper, sign a one or 2 year deal and be able to be a #2 wide out and teach Hill. So my final cross signing would be, the Jets should sign Devery Henderson.
Dude can play. He's a big big target, fast and can hold on to the ball. Saints are moving on with some younger talent and the Jets need a player like him.
Will this fix everything, No. Will this give us a good foundation, yes. Will this give me something to look forward to, yes. And if they pay Sanchez 12 million to go away and figure out the Geno, Garrard situation, then they may be able to have a little fun this season.
By the way CHIS IVORY IS A BEAST. YOU ARE ALL ON NOTICE!!!

Deserted Island
Alight so I felt as though I needed to blog about this because a simple post wouldn't do. So here are my thoughts and rant on the Revis Trade.
Let me start of by saying I loved Revis. He was my favorite Jet. He IS the best at his position in the game today and can maybe rival Deion for the best corner all time.
This trade is smart. The Jets were never going to resign him. They need to get players out of this before he walked. It's hard to give a corner back, quarterback money. The Jets were never going to do that. In the end Revis gets his money and the Jets cling to a hope that whomever they draft will be half as good as Revis.
Now for my rant to Revis and everyone that's upset he's gone. GET OVER IT! Yeah he's great but this is a guy that held out when he was drafted. Held out after his first great season and would have left at the end of the year anyway. And Revis. I loved watching you man. And I will be lucky enough to continue watching you since I am a Saints fan as well. But here's some advice. And LISTEN CLOSELY:
Being in coverage 6 times a year verse Brady, Moore/Henny, and Fitzpatrick and being in coverage 6 times a year against Brees, Ryan and Newton are 2 totally different animals. We'll see just how good you are now.
If Revis makes it through to the 4th year of this deal without them releasing him, I'll be impressed. No guarantee is just that. Ask Amni. So Good luck my man and god speed. The Island has moved. Lets see if its as affective down south.
