Agreed that the "aging" line has been overused. It's comes down to a couple of high-profile guys--Bruschi, Harrison--getting a little long in the tooth, and maybe a little lack of speed translates into "old" for people who don't think much.
But this defense should be terrific. Last year, the team flirted with the lowest points against for the league until the last couple of weeks, and this year you see Mayo, Merriweather improving, Seymour back, Thomas comfortable, etc. etc., with the supposed drop in the secondary more than offset by the new guys, Hobbs getting another year experience, and Capers coaching. Watch out.

It was a 3rd and 5th from last years draft. Also a 2nd means we made the playoffs. We probably getting a 3rd for the upcoming draft for Vilma,
Well, it won't be a second, not with barely a 500 record. I wouldn't be surprised if there is talk about benching Bret before too much longer. Meanwhile, Chad puts up pretty good numbers.

While I love the demise of the Rats lets relax a lil bit its week 2. You sound foolish when you say after 2 weeks they are folding up the beds and turning out the lights. He is washed up and old but he still has talent and can beat the lesser teams on the schedule with guile alone. The Jets D impressed me with their corners and safties. There line could be solid with Jenkins. Where the problem lies is in their O-line. Dbrick is a DDudd and Woody looks lost at RT he needs to be inside. they cant give Farve enough time to actually run the plays so he breaks off and improvises which causes problems. their D will keep them in games but their O wont score enough points to hang with the good teams

Why would we ever bench Brett and for who? Pennington was benched for Henne already. Pennington has played average.

This upcoming draft the Jets will probably get a 2nd or 3rd for Vilma. They already have the Redskins 4th round pick for Kendall. They will be giving up a pick for Farve which is undetermined. If Farve retires after one year they get a late round pick from the Packers the following year. The Jets drafted Revis, Rhodes, Lowery, Harris and Gholston. They signed Pace and traded for Jenkins. They are not an old defense and they did not mortgage their future.
The Pats defense is not old at all. Bruschi Vrabel and Harrison are up in age but thats about it. Wilfork, Seymour, Warren, Green, Mayo, Thomas etc... are all young in just reaching their prime.
Both teams are going to have very good defense going forward.
