Tomlinson mentions someone making, in his opinion, an ill advised decision to open up the offense.

I wonder if that person was Rex or Shotty?

Gotta be Schotty, or Sanchez. Or both, F um, but it was a terrible decision as seen even

in the preseason.

I don't see Sanchez being that assertive.

Schotty probably said, “Hey Mark, wanna do this?”

And Mark said, “sure.”

And that was that.

And WOW, Tomlinson just keeps throwing Tone under the bus.

I guess he’s thinking, “how do you like your open door policy now, Rex?”

Can you blame him though?

I think he throws Sanchez under the bus too

This guy is just too much boy to actually lead a team.

A QB should have been able to overcome what was happening. I think LT means that too.

I tried to read the article about the former Jet who owns Planet Fitness

but every time I picked it up, I had to put it down.

Keep the faith!

I think this is an indication...

Tomlinson is probably going to retire. That aside, I was one of the people that understands why the Jets opted to keep Holmes over Edwards and for the information they had at the time it was the logical choice…hindsight is 20/20 though. Right now Holmes needs a big kick in the a$$ for the way he has carried himself. It’s still the blame game but maybe we have another answer here for Sanchez’s performance…we might even have the answer for the anonymous source in the locker room that claimed laziness on the part of Sanchez when everyone else that put their name to it said he’s a hard worker. At this point I don’t know if they have considered it but the Jets FO needs to begin dropping fines and suspending Holmes for “conduct detrimental to the team” if he continues with behavior like Tomlinson claims…hurt his pockets and collect some of that money back if he’s going to act like that and hurt the cap number. I was one of those that supported Holmes but if I am going to support him he needs to stop f***ing up and/or contributing to the problems our team already has. In the end hopefully we get several guys behind Holmes on the depth chart that will be ready to step in and take his spot…very much like we want to have a guy behind Sanchez that is ready to step in if he isn’t producing.

PF Focus

the third link has a stat on ‘passing under pressure’ Who could guess the bottom ten. Sanchez of course. But also Brees, Rodgers, Brady, Stafford, Fitzpatrick, Cassel.

Both Revis (#1) and Cromartie (#6) were in the top 10 of CBs

who had the least completion percentage against them. Comically, Kyle Wilson was in the bottom 10. It’s funny because he probably had one of the quieter seasons in terms of us being pissed at players. That’s probably attributed to Wilson having the toughest 3rd QB job in the NFL with no one wanting or able to throw at Revis and Cro efficiently.

by Timmaht on Jan 19, 2012 1:34 PM EST reply actions

I'm not sold on Wilson at all.

I’m really not sure how a lot of the posters on GGN consider him to be a good CB. He covers the other teams 3rd option, or slot receiver. yet.. He consistently gets beaten because he just isn’t fast enough to keep up with his receiver. he also can’t cover punts to save his life. Personally, i see Kyle Wilson as being one of the biggest disappointments of this season.
