I'm gonna be more simpler stating than Rand is. And I don't have to take up a whole page to tell you about the Chiefs and the 05 season, so I'll save everyone a bunch of time so you won't have to read the article... Ready? Here it goes... We're fucked, guys. This team is SO one dimensional, they may have to trade some of their O talent for some D help. That's how far DV was on the offensive side of the ball, and not on the D. Usually with a head coach, it's a happy medium, but we TOTALLY abused the defense to get the O to where it is today. It's like they didn't even know you still play defense in football, that's how bad our D is. Pathetic. Now, some of that is due to ignoring that side of the ball, and some of it is poor FA acquistions/poor drafting, which could've been done better, but not a big emphasis, I think, was put on the D. Carl and DV will be gone after this year, and they could possibly be leaving this team in a big shithole after 05 (hopefully I'm wrong).

I think adding a few good guys may help alot to make them an average d. The problem was this year's d didn't get turnovers worth shit and oh yeah didn't stop anyone either. PRevious year the TO's helped slow down the bleeding.

Here's my idea: hicks-bye sims-one more year then bye holliday bye with the exception of fujita, no starting lb needs to keep his job Bartee bye mccleon bye battle bye woods bye I would replace 1 maybe 2 dl,2 lb and 3 dbs. If nothing else that would light a fire under the other half of the teams ass. |

I just can't understand how they talked gun into this shit. "Hey gun, I know I fired you via the internet last time and totally stuck my sneaky little knife up your ass to hire my old buddy who I had to beg to come out of retirement. But how would you like to come back so I can give you some shitty players and everyone can blame you when the offense is lighting up the scoreboard and the d can't stop anyone more than 2 times a game. Oh sounds good." As Peterson cackles slightly, and fondles himself at the notion of firing someone twice on the internet. |

DE - Didn't do anything major, had Abraham and Ellis, two studs, which obviously helps. DT - Got much-improved play from 2003 1st rounder DT Dwayne Robertson... who had struggled during his rookie season, helped solidify the line to go along with Jason Ferguson. OLB - Signed Eric Barton from the Raiders to start at one spot, the other spot was split between 2003 2nd rounder Victor Hobson and undrafted rookie Mark Brown. ILB - Jonathan Vilma, obviously... 2004 1st rounder (12th overall), NFL defensive rookie of the year. CB - Already had vet Donnie Abraham, added 26-year old David Barrett from Arizona, signed vet Terrell Buckley after he was cut by the Pats in training camp, and 2004 3rd round pick Derrick Strait to form a group of 4 solid corners. S - Two new starters here, signing FA safety Reggie Tongue, and 2004 5th round draft pick Erik Coleman stepped up and took the other starting spot. They also changed defensive coordinators, bringing in Donnie Henderson (secondary coach from the Ravens). They also originally intended to sign Antoine Winfield, who was a big name FA, but he backed out of a big contract to take an even bigger one with Minnesota, so this is what their offseason looked like. This Jets defense above finished 4th in the league in scoring and allowed one less point than the Patriots. New veterans: LB Eric Barton CB David Barrett CB Terrell Buckley S Reggie Tongue Draft picks who stepped up/in: 2003 1st Rd DT Dwayne Robertson 2003 2nd Rd LB Victor Hobson 2004 1st Rd LB Jonathan Vilma 2004 3rd Rd CB Derrick Strait 2004 5th Rd S Erik Coleman 2004 Undrafted LB Mark Brown That's 10 guys signed as FA's this last offseason or drafted in the last two years stepping in and playing a big role, solely on defense. Of course a lot of that depends on drafting well, and the Jets usually do a pretty good job obviously. Smart FA moves, a good draft with some immediate impact players, and the further maturation of 2003 picks like Siavii and Allen could help turn the D around. It would take quite a miracle to be a top 5 defense, but being a good quality defense is not out of reach. It is possible. |
