    There is a growing list of good players that struggled under Gase and have flourished elsewhere.

    I can imagine the Cowboys making a play for Darnold.

    Yes he will be a "rent a player". He hits free agency after this year. With our cap problems he probably wouldnt sign. This looks like we are all in this year. I'm all in for this plan. It's been a long time since our last Super Bowl. This is a great time to be a Steeler fan!!

    Going from the Jets to the Steelers is like a dog being adopted from the shelter by Oprah. I bet he will arrive with a smile.
    I think he played for Whisenhunt and LeBeau in Tennessee before he went to the Jets. I bet inquiries were quietly made as to what he is like.

    I was wondering if they would make a move for him, he’s a good player according to my friend who is a Jets fan.

    Don’t know what the plan is for him since Spillane is playing so well but they didn’t trade for him to sit on the bench so it’s not for depth.

    He's a seasoned Veteran coming off a blown knee in 2019. Before that he was considered one of the best run stuffing ILB's in the NFL and was basically the only thing of value on that crap team for sale.

    strengths:
    Character/Leader
    high motor
    Aggressive run tackler
    Sideline to sideline speed


    Weakness:
    Can be overly aggressive at times
    Mediocre in pass coverage

    think faster Vince Williams?

    I could see that happening.

    The Jets are having a fire sale on their way to the #1 pick and there's no way the Cowboys out lose them to get Trevor Lawrence lol.

    Keep in mind though this is Jerry Jones. He is quite the businessman and is a shrewd operator. Call me crazy but I think ol' Jerry Boy is making a play for either Lawrence or Fields. The next 24 hours will be telling.

    I think today's game showed us that we need all of those strengths and can afford those weaknesses

    I still want to see Spillane on the field in some sort of package, guy is making plays when he is out there.

    That is very true. He's built the team to win now, so the next moves will be quite interesting.

    I have the Jags, Jets and Giants as the worst teams. All of which wouldn't surprise me by taking a QB.

    Last time we signed an ex-Jets ILB it turned out pretty good

    Make no mistake. So do I. I just wonder if Jerry still has some plot behind all of this.

    Doesn't he have the green dot? I mean what are they gonna do? Dumb down the defense when they put him in? Seems like he could pick it up and be full by play.... not gonna say it. Just 7-0 right now no need to jinx anything.

    Not that simple note they didn't give Vince the dot.

    You could get away with giving it to Cam, but it's normally an ILB for this team.

    The lack of speed and quickness at ILB was apparent vs the Ravens. Hopefully Avery can come in and make tackles on the inside and outside.
