Bye week Doldrums: Edwards vs. Cromartie


The Jets are 5-1, the players are on vacation, everyone seems to be healthy, things are looking good. This coming Sunday we all will monitor AFC East opponents, and get a glimpse of Green Bay slugging it out with Favre and Company on Sunday night. It is only six weeks into the season and it may be inappropriate to talk about next year, especially without a CBA in place, but what do you think if the Jets have to choose between Cromartie and Edwards ? There is a possability of a CAP, and with financial constraints ( Harris still needs to be signed) the Jets may not be able to sign Cro and Edwards. Both are in contract years and both so far have been exceptional seasons.

The next ten games with Revis at full strength and Cromartie playing Lights out should be fun. Cro is such a good matchup against big receivers, and the man has great hands, his deficiency as a tackler has not been evident this year. Certainly, Antonio has made a case for himself to be a number one corner. San Diego's personnel fiascos of late strengthen Cro's resume. Kyle Wilson's star has faded in the last couple of weeks increasing Cro's value in the defense.

Edwards has become the " Go To " receiver on this team, he has made spectacular catches, has made clutch catches, and can we dare say that the drops are behind him. Braylon's blocking has been exceptional, for a running team this blocking ability is a beautiful thing. The Jets are fascinated by Holmes and his big play ability, but Edwards has shown that he is a very good fit for this offense . Sanchez's success has been in large part this year
can be attributed to Keller and Edwards. The Jets have no depth at WR, but Jerricho Cotchery although having a down year, is still a viable option.

So if you had to choose, Edwards or Cromartie, which one ? and Why?
