If they cut Kerry Rhodes consider Miami as his future home. Nothing like a former Jet that has a vendetta against that stupid organization. I have no idea why they would let him go he's an excellent FS.

 

Would anyone consider Gholston, or do we not want another project like Cam Wake?

It would be absurd if they let Kerry Rhodes go. I'd love to see him here.

 

May as well bring Gholston in on a tryout basis IMO

 

I think Rhodes would be an excellent strong safety. He has the strength and the run stopping ability to be even better at that position. He's also quite large and would be a possible cover against TEs with his size with a fast CFer like a Will Allen (the Miami CB) covering FS. It would alleviate the safety position entirely with Culver and Clemons being the backups and would improve the pass defense by a large margin.

Gholston would be worth trying out. No reason not to let Mike Nolan have an extremely talented possibility try to work here.

 

Prima donna.....

 

you know whats funny about that is i wouldn be surprised. and though a longshot i wouldnt be surprised if we could get something out of him. i almost want to try just because of how crushing it would be to jets fans if we could turn him into the lb they were hoping he would become

 

Yes, that would be sweet. Imagine turning him into a perennial pro bowler. LOL.

 

Watching some old highlights of him I see exceptional abilities to rush the passer as a DE, whether on the left or the right side. If he were used predominantly as a rush end in the Indy fold on third down set or in a 5-2 set I could see success.

 

Maybe if he goes back on the juice, like in college. :lol:

 

Can't figure out why the Jets would cut/trade Rhodes. the guy was considered a top-5 safety not long ago. i'd love to have him

 

I would pass on the "ghost". We already have too many of them playing LB for us now.

 

But in another thread I read that Parcells drafted Ware on physical ability as well. Maybe, just maybe we can convert him. It would still be a 2 year project though.

However, I really am surprised that R.Ryan couldn't get him on the field. ALthough the NYJ LB corps is great, you'd still think Gholston as a situational pass rusher.

Either way, I would love him as a project, let him take Q.Moses' roster spot. It is no secret that we need an OLB with Porter regressing and Taylor getting older, maybe we can groom Gholston in the meantime.

 

If they cut him I'd take him as depth on the cheap and see what Mike Nolan could do with him. But I doubt he does anything of note with his NFL career at this point. Same for Rhodes if they cut him, though I wouldn't pay him top dollar. He's still young, would start here as things stand now, and you know he'd show up big for at least two games a year.

 

Rhodes would be a good pickup.

 

Rhodes is an excellent Free Safety? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

 

Pass on Gholston. So many picked him to be a major bust coming out. Rex Ryan, for all his faults, is an excellent defensive coach, and if he couldn't get anything out of Gholston in a defense that should fit him well, then I think he's a lost cause.

 

Rhodes wants to be a model. He doesn't want to play football.

 

PFF has him rated as the #2 Safety in the league. I don;t know if I would rate him nearly that high but dude hes better than Gerbil Wilson.

 

I remember being a bit worried when the Jets took him. He was the only guy to beat Jake Long in college and they kept showing it over and over. :tongue2:

 

Yes this,
For those thinking Ghoulston could "Come around" I don't think its possible.
He hasn't played football that long.
He was very much into bodybuilding at one point, and yes I DO think he used to do things that would bring a suspension in the NFL.
He never ever playerd with discipline.
He never had much technique. He has gotten fat and slow.
The kid absolutely had bust written all over him coming out, and it would take a fairy godmother with a working magic wand to bring him around.

 

LOLOLOLOLOL A PLAYER STRUGGLES LOLOLOLL

We let him loose and he smacks us to send our nemesis to playoff contention. Yes Rhodes is quite good. I've seen him play damn well. Ridiculous expectations of Ed Reed and a poor last few games busted your view of him, but I could care less.

 

Say no to Gholston!

 

And probably cheaper too.

 

But Gibril Wilson is better than Bell, so......

 

Accoring to that website, Wilson is better then Bell. So, if we do sign Rhodes, Wilson will be moved to SS and RHodes will start at FS.

 

As I said in my original post in regards to Rhodes applies to Bell and Wilson as well and that's I'm not sure If I would rate them in that order. One of the biggest problems we seemed to have other than blown coverages was missed tackles. As I type it I can't help but think what a horrid combination of problems to have. To me Bell is more of a physical sure tackler than Wilson can ever be. PFF lumps both SS and FS together. I'm not sure how you can do that seeing as they have different responsibility's. We will see how the coaches and FO sorts this "mess" out soon enough I guess.

 

Rhodes hates contact and he is slow as ****.

He got effing benched this season.

Read around the Jets forums and what the fans think of Rhodes.

Someone earlier said Rhodes is more interested in being a model than a football player. That would be correct.

 

That website is bull****.

It has Kelley Washington ranked as a top 20 receiver. Next.

 

No way in hell. As someone might have mentioned earlier, Bell is the more physical player. He doesn't quit.

 

I check out both of the major Jet forums quite often. You are correct there are a large portion of fan's there that don't like Rhodes. That doesn't however mean he isn't good. If one was to use the Jets forum as their only measuring stick then Penny should have been kicked to the curb and was a horrid QB. Look what he was able to do with us. Also please keep in mind its not always just about who is the best. No team has the best at every position. I can tell you this though as bad as you think Rhodes is he's still a MAJOR upgrade at FS for us over Wilson.

 

Bell > Wilson in my book. If I was in charge I couldn't kick Wilson to the curb fast enough.

 

Both have their flaws. Wilson looked bad last year, but I will still take him over Bell. In the years Wilson has played SS, he was a better player than Bell.

 

Awesome. He didn't quit. Did that help him stop the TEs that torched him this year?
