Those fans who were saying how horrible it was in the video, I wonder how they felt before and after the AFC Championship game, Mark Sanchez has not arrived yet by any means, but then again it wouldn’t be a Jets draft without some portion of the fans having a problem with the selection.

Sanchez seemed really excited to be a Jet. He did an interview a couple of days before the draft with SNY. He talked about how the Jets would be the perfect fit and the kind of offense he likes. Of course, I haven’t seen interviews he did regarding other teams, but he seemed to really want to be a Jet to me. I’m still hunting for that vid, and hopefully I can find it and post it.

and the home of the... JETS!!!

i said we should sign travis laboy last season. we should add him for some depth at outside linebacker/defensive end. he could be of some good value on pass rush situations. since he is a cut player he doesnt apply to the final 8 rule. i think this entire offseason we should dig through other teams’ trash for role players and depth.

I agree Joey, would be a very logical, low risk/high reward type move to bring in LaBoy.

I’m just not too familiar with the guy though. How would you rate him?

Ran a 4.7 40 yard dash at the combine and did 35 reps with 225lb’s….pretty much sums him up, speed and strength. 34 tackles, 3.5 sacks his rookie season 9 QB pressures….he was a get up and after them type player, nice burst, and had a habit of getting into the backfield. 23.5 sacks, 6 forced fumbles in 32 starts, obviously played in more but only started 32. If we bring him in and he looks healthy, I think you have to take a gamble on a player that has had success at an area you need to improve on. Not sure where his health is at the minute.
