Sixth-overall pick Gholston to wear No. 56 for Jets

Yep. Weren't the Dolphins in talks with Long and Gholston? Oh, but wait, Miami took Long so now Gholston is garbage. Gotcha!

And yes, responding to a poster above, hurries do effect the Quarterback. Pressure is key. Pressure is pressure.

 

gholston was never a serious option. it was a negotiation ploy to get jake to sign

 

It also might have been becuase BP might have known the Jets were interested in Gholston so they were hoping that the Jets might try and trade up.

 

not sure about that, but if anybody thinks that we would have taken golston at 1, its a joke

 

Yeah, thats it! You work in the FO?

 

im sorry its hard for you to understand

 

Man..Pace and Gholston rushing from the edges is going to be great.

 

man, long and carey at LT and RT will be great

 

Is that the same former 19th overall 1st round bust Vernon Carey?

Sweet. I had no idea he was still playing.

Seriously though, has he found a legitimate home at Right Tackle because I thought for a while there he was at Left or Right Guard.

And please enlighten me Melbourne why Miami was never seriously interested in Vernon. Please. Parcells obviously wanted to get rid of Taylor so they need someone to replace him at OLB in the 34 and DE in the 43 because Joey Porter seems to be a waste of $20 some million.

 

because he simply wasnt worth the #1 overall pick. its that simple

 

Do you think Jake Long was? I'm curious to know exactly why. I'm a Michigan fan and I wasn't too fond of Long before he was drafted by Miami. I don't think you have the next Joe Thomas at all.

 

yep, fills a huge need and hes the best LT in the draft.

 

Well, according to the scouts.

I think the decision of taking Long might linger from Parcells passing up on Orlando Pace years ago when he was with the Jets and this time he wanted to take the "sure thing" tackle. We'll see though.

 

we shall
