All of the sudden on both radio stations, it is en vogue to praise the Jets' way of building a team and trash the Pats. Hosts on both radio stations are holding up this year's Jets as the way you build a football team and this year's Pats as the way you don't. Did I fall asleep and wake up in February with the Jets winning the Super Bowl and the Pats going 1-15?
They have trashed Belichick for their adversity to his first round picks pointing out Revis and how the Jets had to move up and get him and Sanchez the same. They seem to forget that their pick from last year, Gholston with the 6th pick, is still on the back of milk cartons and other high first round picks of the Jets made minimum impact to the Jets like Vilma, Bryan Thomas, and Dewayne Robertson.
They also talk about all their free agent moves and how the cap hasn't been effected. One thing they fail to realize is the Jets have pushed back money on these players and if the growth of the cap slows down considerably in a new CBA, they could be in major trouble.
Ok, I could see if the Pats went a few seasons unable to get to .500 while the Jets were contending or winning Super Bowls that these points could be valid, but we are talking two games into the season. Brady should get it together and be dominant and the defense looks better than be expected with Mayo (the Pats best defensive player) coming back at some point. I think the Pats will be in the hunt when the season is over. We still don't know if the Jets will substain this intensity on defense all year long either especially if they treat every game like the Super Bowl.
I know the media in this town want to overract to every event or game when it happens, but to start question the Patriot way after two games is a little crazy. One caller even asked if the game has passed Belichick by and the young coaches like Rex Ryan are worlds ahead of him.
