Looking Forward to the Draft... in October

I can't really say that I'm surprised, but at the same time, this terrible display of football from the Jets still hurts terribly. It's like when you find out that the girl who you know is extremely far out of your league, really is out of your league. The girl in this case being the Superbowl, and me (or whoever) being the Jets. Not surprising, but still makes you angry.

good for nothin', cant play nose tackle or defensive end, quarterback

We all know about the 38-31 loss yesterday in Cincy. We all know about second half where the Jets couldn't respond to 21 points that were put up by Carson Palmer and the Bengals high octane offense. And we all know that it wasn't the defense's fault but rather Chad "Noodle Arm" Pennington's that Kenny Watson looked like Barry Sanders. At least that's what Jets fans want to believe. Buying into their own lies more than Marion Jones after the fifth time she told reporters she never used steroids. Woops.

The season is done. Try and repeat that to yourself until it sinks in, because to think that we can go 9-0 or 8-1 from here on out is an absurd thought. The Mets would have to be leading the AFC East in order for us to do that, instead the team leading the AFC East is the Madden team I assemble every single year, only they are real. So with the playoff's lost, the question now turns to, what is next? Here are a few things that I would like to see the Jets do this year.

- Start Kellen Clemens: I have always loved Chad Pennington. He is and always will be my favorite Jets player of all time, but the time has come for him to take the backseat. I would rather have Kellen Clemens go through growing pains in a season that is already lost rather than the '08/'09 season. Its Clementime.

- Start David Harris at MLB, move Jonathan Vilma to OLB: This guy is gonna be a stud. He is the second coming of Ray Lewis, and I say that only because I can't say he is the second coming of Jesus without getting at least a little bit of backlash. Move Vilma to the outside, he's too small to play on the inside of a 3-4. Start Harris and Victor Hobson on the inside with Bryan Thomas on the left, and you have a pretty good looking LB squad.

- Fire Bob Sutton: Yes, the personell he has to work with is nothing special (especially the D-Line), but there is no way Kenny Watson should rush for 3 td's and have over 100 yards on the ground against your defense. He's turned the defense into swiss cheese, only swiss cheese tastes good.

Among other things, these are what I would like to see the most. These changes wont save the season, but they'll at least keep me interested. Otherwise, I'm gonna start posting Mock Drafts which is the last thing I want to do. It's only October, and already I want the season to end. Jets fans are going to need a prescription for adderol pretty soon, the team is not interesting enough to stay focused. On the bright side, at least the Rangers season started.

And they're 2-4-1... shit.
