Kerry Rhodes Disappears

by John B on Nov 2, 2009 2:24 PM EST

Kerry Rhodes was nowhere to be found after yesterday's game.

Rhodes, in a disappointing showing for someone who fancies himself as a team leader, made such a hasty exit from the locker room he was long gone by the time reporters were let into the room. He must have been talked out.

Let's not jump on him too much for this. For all we know, there was a good reason he had to bolt.

My real issue has been his play. It's tough to remember too many impact plays he's had this year or last year for that matter. He hasn't been the same player since he got that big contract. The two years before his deal, he was playing at a Pro Bowl level. He may not have been a Reed or Polamalu caliber player but certainly the level just below.

I don't really have a problem with him trash talking or getting into the opponent's face, but he's been something of a disappointment this year. He was one of the guys people were expecting to take his game to the next level in this system. Unlike David Harris, it hasn't happened yet.

Kerry is solid not special

He doesn’t do anything wrong on the field, but he is not the impact player he likes to think he is. No problem with his trash talking, and we really have no idea why he left so hastily last night. I don’t think he is the play maker we thought he was going to be next to a solid guy like Leonhard, but he does a job.

What was the reason?

And are you so certain that he would have left so suddenly if his team had won the game?

No idea what the reason was

Was never disclosed. No idea if he would of left the game so suddenly if we had won, I guess it depends on the reason, and I doubt we find out what it was.

what more can you ask of a defense than what the Jets have accomplished?Falling to 4-4 takes alot out of us as fasns imagine what it takes to go out there givr yourself and come up empty!These guys are only human and we tend to kill them for that.The Jets can Still gathr it and pull this thing out.Why do we denegrate our team and expect more from them?It was tough for all of us,but it is what it is.If they run the table and win the Superbowl I assure you there are going to be many many uncomfortable moments!

Maybe he should stay off of twitter and fire up his leadership abilities!!

I am a avid user of twitter and I’ve followed his tweets day in and day out. Seems to me if he put as much attention into his leadership ability as you all say like he does with the online community then he wouldn’t be leaving the locker room because the team suffered a lost. Let’s just call a spade a spade shall we?

So Mote It Be!

Rocky Rhodes

I personally would like him to keep blogging and twittering. It’s nice to see an American Football player with half of a brain in his head. It doesn’t take away from his on the field performance unless his latest twitter feed somehow pushes all his playbook knowledge out of his head.

He may very well be my favorite because he’s consistent and bright, but Revis has been the man after my heart ever since his second year. They way he shuts entire offenses down is what’s got me buzzing.

Kerry Rhodes sucks donkey balls

To be honest the only thing that makes the Jets players and coach bad are there cockiness like they own the AFC EAST. dont get me wrong the Jets are a very Talented team, but without character you are going nowhere, as they ol saying goes “It aint over until the fat lady sings” and right after the game you heard FAT ASS REX RYAN LoL….. The dolphins gave credit to the jets about there defensive rushing ability and gave them praise on how good the jets are, but the Jets are classless and are stil bitching and crying about how they lost…….

Kerry Rhodes, Calvin Pace, Rex Ryan Leon Washingston learn how to be humble and have good sportsmanship, I know we are rivals but shit grow up and quit crying and learn from the loss and move the hell on….

SOOWOOP..........
