    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

      The talent level here is mostly second tier which IMO means we really should think about CJ Moseley at 8 (assuming Jones is gone).

        Mosely said he's not coming out...

        12/24/12 - Indoor Practice Facility while junior linebacker C.J. Mosley made news following the two-hour practice, announcing he would return for his senior season at the Capstone. "I'm staying for one more year (at Alabama)," Mosley said on Thursday. "There's a lot I still haven't accomplished yet as far as football goals, and I still want to get my degree. It really hasn't been a tough decision because the whole time I knew I was going to stay."

          We should be going hard after Dannell Ellerbe. Good player who can blitz and tackle from the inside.

            Interestingly, I saw that the Jets may release several players (Calvin Pace, Bart Scott) for the cap room. I wouldn't want to go after them as starters necessarily, but wouldn't mind a couple to help transition the defense to what Pettine wants. Help fill in the gaps on the defense, if anything.

              I like Pace's motor.

                      Those lists don't take into account expected cap casualties.

                      Example - Jets Bart Scott and Calvin Pace. They could be pluuged right in to our D by their old DC.

                          Henderson is the best combo of talent and youth on that list, but he can't stay off the trainer's table. The rest are old or meh.... except Wheeler who had one good year in Oakland and would be crazy not to stay on the team who helped him break out.

                            If Geno Hayes has the ability to do what he did in TB a couple years back, he'd be interesting....but who's in the mood for trying the Merriman experiment again?
