Its going to be a very long off season and I thought it would be interesting to go through the top 30 Jets of the past season. It will overall be a two week segment. The order is strictly based on my opinion and is open for debate.

And so it begins

#30

Eric Smith 115 tackles 2.5 sacks 1 INT 1 Fumble recovery

Now I know he had one of the worst seasons a safety can possibly have, but he was second on the team in tackles, and for that he does get some respect.

#29

Nick Bellore Team high 31 Special teams tackles

Bellore didn't have much impact on defense but he was a great ST contributor. you cant discredit that.

#28

Tanner Purdam

What???? the long snapper? at 28? Yea I know you almost never here Purdam's name called. And that's the best part. If your Long snappers name is being called on a frequent basis then he must not be doing too good of a job. The fact that no one has heard Purdam's name called means hes doing what we need our long snapper to do.

#27

Brodney Pool 37 Tackles .5 sacks 1 int 4 PD 1 Fumble recovery

Pool didn't have a good season. He is considered a guy that goes after the ball, yet didn't have a int until the last game of the season. He did miss 3 games due to injury but its still not acceptable. In order for the Jets to improve in 2012 Pool has to step up or be sent to the bench.

# 26- 23 to come tomorrow

Let the debate begin
