As for Jet needs they need a linebacker that can help with the run and a big defensive tackle. Basically this team has trouble stopping the run or at least today against McGahee they sure did. What happened to Jonathan Vilma becoming the heir to Ray Lewis' throne???

It's not Vilma's fault lol. The Jets have needed a big stout DT to fit the 3-4 all season. If there's one out there in the draft, I could see them going that way. Unless the Jets are in the mood to go offense in the first round.

The Jets need a running back and a pass rusher, whether it be on the line or at linebacker.

[Lefty Noob]

But what's the more urgent need - run stuffer or pass rusher? I think a big ol' DT helps them more than a blitzing LB right now.

Dewayne Robertson is not a good lineman for a 3-4 defense. He's far too small. Thomas is superb in the new D and Ellis is ok but runningbacks are just gliding by Robertson and that's need #1. Barton and Hobson need to get more sacks although lately they've been turning up their level of play on the pass rushing front so a linebacker is #2 and if you want to talk about them needing a runningback I say they have one in Leon Washington but you have to keep feeding him the ball not give it to him 11 times a game. They should use the Washington/Houston tandem the way the Giants use the Jacobs/Barber tandem. Rember Tiki was just thought of as a back like Washington is, a scat back until they started giving him the ball more and more. They need a big blocking fullback to pave the way if you want to talk running game. Washington has the talent of Joseph Addai right now but I think he could become better. I say a huge DT in the draft then an outside linebacker and then address your needs at will.

I'm sorry, but did you just call a 6'1, 317lb defensive star small?

That is small for a nose tackle in the 3-4. Robertson doesn't have the size to be a real effective nose tackle which is why the Jets run defense is pretty poor.

[MJHMarc]

It is still bigger than me, at least in weight.

I'm 6'2, so I got him there.

Does size make a difference in sports?

Bogues and Webb vs. Ming and Wilt

Okay, you got me there.

Empire already beat me to it though but for his postion in the the 3-4 defense HELL YEAH!!!

[ThePundit]

How about a big time Defensive end who can pass rush? Then again, everybody wants one of those. Whatever they have to do to put some pressure on the QB.

Lately they've been getting that pressure with Hobson, Barton and especially Thomas! Thomas has emerged as a star in the 3-4 defense. New contract and everything!

The Jets need to win their next two games...

Miami on Christmas
Oakland after...
