In the link above this guy is goofy.
Here is a clip.
"I'd be lying to you if I told you I don't have any emotions tied to
this game," Mangini said. "It was a big part of my personal and
professional life. It's not often that you prepare for an opponent
where you get to see how young guys you brought together are doing.
That's pretty unique.
OK what young guys?
On O there are 3 & on defense 3 that were drafted while he was there.
How about Vilma that couldn't play in his 3-4 but can play in Gregg
Williams 3-4? I hope we beat him> He isn't that good..
nothing to sneez at though.... mangold, revis, keller, harris... all
can be considered to be the best at their respective positions in the
entire league. i think mangini has the right idea building on
character and appears to make good choices in the draft. when he was
with the jets he was over his head as far as being an in game coach.
i cant say how much he has learned between then and now... i dont
expect the browns will win sunday.
How do we know that Mangini was responsible for those picks? Not
Tannenbaum and the scouts? Has it ever been revealed how much of a role
Mangini played in picking the groceries?
neither did the Pats.
Hey I'm sure the Patriots didn't expect the Browns to win either, but
they did. I hope the Jets win but I have my reservations seeing how
the Browns just whipped the Patriots around like a rag doll.
I'm not sure how much input Mangini had in the draft. For all we know
it was mostly Tanny and his scouts.
I can think of one guy who has an island named after him...
Well we do know Mangini had his hand in one pick. VG. It was well
publicized Mangini over-ruled several scouts and made this pick. It
appears MT learned his lesson as he doesn't allow the HC a pick until
later in the draft as evidence of Rex's John Conner pick which was a
4th I believe.
i dont have proof that you could take to court. i remember from those
drafts that mangini was very high on mangold before the draft. he was
the guy mangini wanted. very much like mack was the guy mangini wanted
in cleveland. that was in the papers when they drafted mangold.
also... there was strong indication that keller was mangini's pick. i
remember from a newspaper article at the time that mangini had him
"highly rated". there was a lot written about the keller pick because
it was "unexpected". I think the Revis pick was a no brainer. They
needed a CB and he was the best rated guy on the boards. I dont know
much about the Harris pick.
Also good to consider. Look at the Cleveland drafts since Mangini got
there. Look at the Jets current draft. The Jete current draft is an
absolute disaster. I dont think any of them will work out in the long
run and NONE of them were able to help this year.

Two things about this:
First, we traded picks in this draft to obtain Braylon Edwards and
Santonio Holmes. I think if those had been our top picks, it would have
been worthwhile given the performances of Cotchery and Coles and Clowney
and Smith at WR. Both these guys have made key plays this year (Miami
and Detroit for just two) and we got Braylon for most of two years. If
they have any aspirations of a(nother) ring, we may sign one or both
this coming off season.
Second, the book is not written on any of the Jets 2010 picks. While you
are almost right none were able to help this year (obviously you have
failed to watch the Terminator on specials and he has played adequately
at a difficult job to learn (FB), the CB and OL positions take time to
learn. Revis was not the all pro/world he is now his first year. Many
OL, especially ones from small schools, take time to learn. Brick,
Slauson, and Moore on our OL were not great shakes their first years.
As long as Callahan stays here, I have faith that Vlad will play
somewhere along our OL as a stallwart.
It is possible that Kyle may develop by the end of this year or next.
After next season, I may be able to write him off as do you, but I think
you will be surprised to be wrong again.
[Good call on Colt McCoy, BTW]
1) Kyle Wilson
2) Vlad Ducasse
3) Pick to Cleveland for Braylon Edwards
4) Joe McKnight
5) John Connor & Trade Pick for Santonio Holmes & Also cost of Braylon
6) No pick (confused by all trades, sorry)
7) Who cares but traded
h
IIRC, Harris was a Mangini pick that was initiated by Sutton, who
coached
Harris @ Michigan.
Not that I'm defending my book... But Slauson's performance the past
few games has been very good. I credit the Slauson 6th round value
pick to Callahan. Obviously he tipped the Jets off on him.
> As long as Callahan stays here, I have faith that Vlad will play

I sure hope you are right... He did not show any improvment to me all
through the pre-season. His feet looked like they were doing a tire
drill for lack of a better understanding of what to do. HUGE upside
and looks very impressive when he uses his strenght and leverage...
but man... he looks confused.
> It is possible that Kyle may develop by the end of this year or next.
> After next season, I may be able to write him off as do you, but I think

I have not written Kyle off yet. He's got too much potential. Same
with Vlad. They have the tools. They need to learn how to play.
Gholston has the tools too, but... Lets see if Vlad and Kyle can
learn. I hope they are not "Gholstons"
McKnight is the guy I wrote off.
As an aside: you often stated Mangini was incompetent as DC and HC. He
looked pretty damn competent last Sunday v. you guys. Browns are
playing good ball at the moment.
i remember that bb had to bail mangini out when he was the dc with the
pata. at that time, mangini was incompetent. he was also incompetent
when he was with the jets with a lot of capitol decisions. after
jenkins broke down, mangini still stuck with the same defense. that
was incompetent. IMHO, it cost him his job because he could not adapt
or improvise. we all have our favorite dish to cook, but if you dont
have the ingrediants you gotta make something else. may be he has the
ability to learn and has done so.
Don't go throwing facts into my rant.
ok, besides him
:)
Except when he missed two down field blocks & one on a screen.
The one against the Packers could e argued cost them the game
i actually dont remember the block he missed in the packers game ???
he wiffed ???
Put down the pipe once in a while Michelle. You will be amazed just how
clearly you can entertain a thought. On the down side however, you will also
realize just how ridiculously stupid you truly are.

And do you realize how ridiculously stupid you are to spend so much
time, as an opposing fan, in this news group? Get a life, you poor slob.
Steelers, Texans, Saints, Browns and Bengals... I'd say the Ravens
will drop four of five of those. The Ravens should still be able to
get a wild card. They wont do much with it... But at least you should
make it into the post season. Not bad for a bunch of posers on
Geritol.
did slauson make contact with the safety ??? was it a mental mistake
or did his feet fail him ???
He didn't get there is my reccolection...he does not have good feet and is
very awkward in space and with his vision as to where people are, I
recognize he does some other stuff well, but that characteristic is not good
for a guard.
He sort of got there but just couldn't deliver the block and it wasn't
lke he needed to destroy the guy just delay him.
He hasn't been terrible and obviously as a player or teammate is what
Rex or someone wants. He is a 2nd year guy & cheap so there is a ton
of upside. He who shan't be named had limitations on pass blocking &
straight ahead run blocking but a guard that can move adds a few plays
to an offense.
Life, think Rob Ryan and Holmgren either helping or watching not to
mention age and experience might make a difference.

Do you want to revise then what you wrote when your keyboards went crazy
and typed, "The Jete current draft is an absolute disaster" Blowing a
4th round pick on a player who bombs is not a "disaster".

> He who shan't be named...
Valdemort plays for us???
played....Michael must hate Texans or LSU as he watched a different
Faneca than many of us.
I didn't want to set him off.
If you use your cash to back that instead of your mouth which doesn't mean
shit, I say you are out in the streets using that big mouth of yours on old
men to earn back the cash you lost.

you know all about that sort of thing... of that i'm quite sure
your team sucks and now we know that you do as well... silly boy
You can fool yourself Michelle but those of us around Usenet for over 10
years recognized your obsessive undertones capped by your "silly boy" to be
flirtations and Michelle, Drew never plays on that side of the street
regardless of your reputation for swallowing.

Your act has gotten very tired, as has your Ravens team. Geez all you
can do is homophobic insults and putdowns? Go away, you've become a very sad
excuse for a troll. By the way before you call me girlie names, I'm married
with 3 kids, and have been on usenet for over 20 years, to your 10. Talk FB
once in awhile or better yet, go outside and get yourself a real live GF and
grow up.
Never forget.... your team plays, you just watch. No matter how many
games they win, doesn't make you a winner.
mix some football in with your garbage if you want to keep me on the
hook
