Smells Like Gangrene

Now the New York Jets, my beloved Jets, have over the a three day span signed three linemen: Left Guard Alan Faneca, Defensive Tackle, Kris Jenkins, and Offensive Tackle Damien Woody. Plus they also signed Linebacker Calvin Pace. These groundbreaking deals made the cover of the New York Post on Tuesday. But is it really groundbreaking? Linemen, linemen, linemen! That's all I ever hear the Jets doing, oh wait they traded their best linebacker on February 29 for a DRAFT PICK! Good call General Manager Mike Tannenbaum. In the 2007 draft, I was going to cry if the Jets picked another lineman. When they picked Cornerback Darrelle Revis, I jumped for joy. I mean that literally, I hit my head on the ceiling, had to go to the hospital; it was a pretty big ordeal. Now after a very bad season, the Jets obviously need a better running back, quarterback, and some big name wide receivers. Look what they do, they go sign some linemen when they need big names to give the team a face, give them some personality. Who is making these decisions to get linemen instead of play makers, to trade all-star linebackers for a draft pick? Are they getting paid? How do these people get these jobs? Do they apply and say, "I can spend a lot of money on things that don't apply to what I need."? Let me tell you, the Jets better draft someone that actually does something with the football, or else they're going to be ruining a lot of people's expectations because linemen don't score touchdowns.
