Greetings!

Oh hello there, I didn’t see you come in.

Welcome to my blog! Finally decided I’d make one of these since all the cool kids were doing it. Well I won’t waste any more time, let’s get right to my favorite time of year…Football!

So I’m a Jets fan. The fact that I’m still a Jets fan, despite the fact that their one and only Superbowl win was exactly 17 years before I was born, means that I really truly love the Jets. Spew all the hate you can, I’ve heard it all. So what are my thoughts on the upcoming year? I’m a big list person, being a non-writer and all, so here goes:

Pros
1) Do I need to say it? The Defense. Love the massive offseason moves we made to sign practically half the Ravens defense. That combined with Kris Jenkins, David Harris, Calvin Pace, and Kerry Rhodes makes for a promising defensive year. Hey I’m even seeing that NYJ D/ST drafted higher in fantasy than ever before.
2) RBs. Drool. TJones, Leon Washington, Shonn Greene, and….ladies and gentlemen, Danny Woodhead! Not gonna lie, I almost fell over in my chair out of amusement/shock when I saw this kid. At 5′ 9″ from Chadron State, he’s a skinny little thing and I figured all you really need to do is sit on him. But wow did he have a killer game against the Eagles, so hey it can happen!
3) O-line. With one of the most expensive lines in the league our running game was pretty stellar last year. Good ol’ D’Brickashaw, Alan Faneca, Nick Mangold, Brandon Moore, and Damien Woody make up a solid o-line that allowed TJones to produce some great numbers last year, especially considering the fact that Mangini completely abandoned the running game last year in favor of the I-singlehandedly-crushed-the-town-of-GreenBay-I-refuse-to-retire-I-fail-at-life Brett Favre.

Cons
1) Yet again we don’t have a QB. Mark Sanchez terrified me this preseason, and Kellen Clemens is…Kellen Clemens.
2) We’re severely lacking at receiver, we don’t really have a No.1 quality WR. Though I should note that I’m not necessarily high on trading TJones for Brandon Marshall or another high caliber receiver, considering what a force TJones/Leon are and how shaky we are at QB.
3) It’s the Jets. Season after season of disappointment, pretty sure this year won’t be any different. Sigh.

So yes I wrote my first post about the Jets, are you really surprised? Regardless of Gang Green, I’m pumped for what promises to be yet another awesome NFL season. Here’s to the only reason I’m glad summer’s over! I leave you with this…

    I am of the opinion that ‘good ole’ ” is spelled with an e at the end.

    I think it is a testament to our friendship and my ability to procrastinate that I read this entire entry very carefully, as though I might understand any part of it, instead of writing a personal statement.
    Love,

    Was at the Jets pre-season game vs eagles. Thought they looked pretty solid, Sanchez included.

    That means you saw the Danny Woodhead phenomenon! We’ll see, a lot rides on Sanchez, I’m more comfortable with foregoing this season and hoping we pull together to contend next year.
