Cimini says:
“It’s been a tumultuous few months for Revis, from his holdout to his hamstring injury to his speeding ticket.”
I’m sure the speeding ticket has been horrible for Revis, a millionaire many times over. I wonder how he sleeps at night.
Cimini – The Santonio Holmes factor. Since returning from his suspension, Holmes has been No. 3 in the pecking order. He has been targeted 14 times, behind Braylon Edwards (19) and Jerricho Cotchery (17) and ahead of Dustin Keller (11).
Interesting. Behind both Greene and LT this makes him the 5th most used offensive weapon. Its a crowded arsenal, one wonders how Holmes will be incorporated.
Also Cimini’s note about the Jets being very poor out of the bye-week last year, with two melt-downs, I can see that. I don’t get the feeling that this team prepares well with time off, perhaps over scheming. Evidence to that, played very poorly in the Ravens game, especially on offense, but also on defense on long downs.

However...
It’s obvious that they learned from the Raven’s game about the overanalyzing.
Our pass defense needs to not suck. In my opinion that’s our absolute biggest weakness.
why is it obvious that they have learned about over analyzing? I say the opposite. The probably think that they just didn’t game plan well enough. I see no reason to presume that they are not going to game plan up the yin-yang for GB.

Could it be that since holmes is the best WR, the other team makes him the guy to take out of the game?
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
Perhaps. You have to think that the other team actually watches film, and doesn’t just make a judgment on reputation. Is it really the case that Holmes is being taken away by other defenses?

IDK more of a question.
In an Ideal world I would have all ten fingers on my left hand so my right hand could just be a fist for punching.
*then me saying that is what it is. Or him and Sanchez are not all the way on the same page yet. They are winning so maybe they didn’t want to change the offensive focus during a winning streak.

I would agree with this. What is interesting is that fans are calling for more runs, which means even fewer balls to be thrown around. Holmes seems like a tremendous weapon, but how is he going to get into the flow more with fewer touches?

Congrats guy.

Congrats Judge and Bro
Couldn’t have happened to two better guys.
Even Thomas Pock can't believe someone thinks he's an NHL talent.
Contributor to Lighthouse Hockey not sure if I'm the Sniper or the Enforcer.
Just saw Jackass 3D
I probably missed it, but did anyone here mention that Erik Ainge is in Jackass 3D?
He threw one pass, and lead Johnny Knoxville a bit too much. It also didn’t help that Jared Allen was bearing down on Knoxville.

Revis Return!
Since more than likely Revis will return this week coming off the jets bye week. I hope he is living up to his potential and not just gonna take that extra money he got and give up on everything. Still crossing my fingers

A note on the mod thing
The biggest change you will see with me is greater self censorship. More than taking action I’m going to attempt to lead by example. This means I can’t allow it to be personal anymore. Ever. Maybe I’m not expected to adhere that strictly but those are my own standards and I’m not going to demand any behavior I couldn’t expect from myself.
Things I will be doing/what you should expect:
To always be warned first, unless you do something so heinous that your presence cannot be tolerated. If somebody seriously crosses the line I will get rid of them until John hops on and we discuss it.
To have all of your questionable content hidden, not deleted. This is as much for my protection as your freedom of speech.
To be warned for your excessive profanity. I can and will tolerate swearing sparingly. All things in moderation. Like it or not young audiences follow football and read SB nation blogs. If it happens rarely, fine. say the S word when Sanchez throws a pick if it will keep you from beating your dog, but don’t make it a fixture of your posts. And if you call somebody the C word or go on the offensive it will be hidden.
On that note, we’re going to cover two things where I will be a hardass, and show very little leniency.
The first are personal attacks or trolling the blog. If you have THAT MUCH of a problem with what someone says that you have to be rude or offensive, allow them their stupid opinion and move on to the next post. If it breaks the rules, flag it. But don’t use bad behavior to justify going for someones throat, because it will not be tolerated. Respect is the name of the game and if you’re not playing you can’t post here.
And finally, and this is the big one where you are going to see me bringing down the hammer, conduct on other blogs. I hope you’re still reading this because you need to know that you WILL be held accountable for how you conduct yourself on the other SB nation blogs, if you choose to troll or act like an ass you WILL be suspended or banned from GGN.
Last night, my first night, a nameless GGN fanposter sat on Daily Norsemen taunting them the entire game. For the most part nobody reacted and we’re insulting their own team so he got a pass nearly the entire game. He continued to taunt them after the game ended and as a result he won’t be posting on this blog, indefinitely. John beat me to the actual action but that is the exact course I would have taken as well.
This is my sticking point, and I don’t want to hear crying about it later. John already told you to keep it respectful. I have an absolute zero tolerance policy for trolling other blogs. I’m on nearly every opposing teams blog every week. And I’m always on the sunday/monday night teams blogs. Chances are very high that if there is an NFL team blog on SB nation I am watching it. Chances are even greater that if you have a reputation for trolling I will be watching/following your account and reporting what I see of consequence back to GGN staff.
With all of that said, if by some miracle you’re still reading, relax. Expect a very light touch from me, with the exception of trolling other blogs/personal attacks/offensive material/illegal streams on the public blog. Those I will be responding to with extreme consequences. But I will not treat everything with severity. Hopefully this post is the most serious and down to business one I ever have to make. I want you to police yourselves, but if you can’t I will.
Please continue to treat me as the same person and I’ll do the same. And if you have a problem, come find me! I’ll be glad to listen if nothing else. I’ll leave contact info in my profile for you guys.
That’s all. And serious thanks to the people who nominated me. I don’t view the role as a huge deal but the recognition for being objective and not causing problems really means a lot to me.

I just did the pro-bowl vote
and I was amazed how many names I recognized in the AFC and how few (relatively) in the NFC. And I used to be somewhat of a Giants fan… Guess all the players I’d recognized have retired.

The guy played 16 seasons in Green Bay, but he’s an ex-Jet because of one season. Do they ever call him the ex-Falcon? No, then call him an ex-Packer so we can disassociate with him already.
