Vernon Gholston should focus on staying on the field first.

It’s hard to be a playmaker on the sidelines.

Gholston sounds like he has soo many excuses.

I need more playing time. I didn’t get playing time my first year, and my second I get a new coach and a new system. I was playing last year, and then Calvin Pace came back and I was on the bench. If I had more time my stats would be up (dah). How about prove you can be a playmaker in practice, and then we can see if you can do it in a game.

Honestly I wonder if he was taking steroids in college, and then decided to quit once he got to the pros.

Couldn’t he at least have done like Merriman and Cushing, and wait until he had a great rookie season and get caught after that? Lol. I mean take your 4 game hit, then maybe we could trade him for something.

Great point about the juicing in college, which was evident but doesn’t appear to be the case now. Also points to the complete lack of intensity he’s shown as a pro. I actually know a guy who has dealt with Gholston on a business level, and he said his imposing size is completely offset by how soft spoken he is. Also that you’d never think someone with his attitude (or lack thereof) and demeanor could be a football player.

While I have no doubt that Gholston will be released following this season (thought it would’ve happened this year), this brings up the question regarding his position change. Could this be a message from the Jets, indirectly, for him to get back on the gear? Because there is no way he is putting on 20lbs of quality weight needed to play 3-4 DE without steroids.
