When I heard all the "we will win the Super Bowl" talk coming out of Jets' camp this summer, I was struck with how misguided their approach was this offseason.
Remember how the discussion on the Patriots was about last years lack of leadership. Brady, Wilfolk, Mayo and others said they would step up in that aspect this year. Moreover, the team drafted no less than five players in the draft that were their college teams Team Captain. It was hugely important in their approach.
The Jets, by glaring contrast not only neglected this aspect of team building, but shot it to H***! They HAD some fantastic veteran team leaders. LS Dearth was very well respected veteran, who played 9 years with the Jets. They got rid of others like Tony Richardson, Leon Washington, Alan Faneca, and Thomas Jones that fit the same category. Heck even kicker Jay Feely was considered a leader, and is now gone.
Not only did they jettison the leaders of the team, but they replaced them with the likes of SanTokio Holmes, Baby Mama Chromartie, and LaWhinien Thomlinson.
We've talked about this the whole offseason, but with the game approaching, I wanted to post something, because......well, because the game is approaching. They have a talented defense, but they have the chemistry of a team just begging to implode.
I can't wait until Sunday!
