Perhaps they are working on a way to hit the QB from the waiver wire.

This ties in to one of my pet arguments. People say BB doesn't care about OLB's and decries BB for not drafting any the past few years. BB's largest two FA signings as Pats GM were both OLB's. The wretched drafting results on guys taken in the top 40 picks each year over the past 5 years at OLB (3-4 OLB's in college and 4-3 DE -> OLB conversions in the pros) gives BB ample reason why he has not.
Part of the changes in our personnel/style of D could be due to this frustration.
In any event I want to thank the Jets for walking headlong into this trap twice. Hats off...
What trap? What did the Jets cost themselves giving Maybin a tryout for two weeks, and then releasing him for absolutely nothing?
That is a bunch of crap, no matter how many times you post it.
I was hoping the Jets retain him and give him a longer evaluation period, there is no question the kid has pass rushing ability and very good speed off the edge, it's the rest of his football acumen that is lacking, but at 23 years old, that can be developed when the ability and willingness is there, and I felt he had that. I didn't agree with the Jets giving him only a 2 week evaluation.
But I thought he had the highest ceiling of any pass rusher on either the Jets or the Patriots!
