Our offense is an interesting collection...

...of players from the premiere college football programs from around the nation. Sanchez is from USC, D'Brick= Virginia Tech, Mangold= Ohio State, Edwards= Michigan, Washington= Florida State, and Keller is from Purdue. All of these players are former 1st round picks except for Neon Leon. 7 of our 11 starters on offense are first rounders.

The details have emerged regarding the Edwards trade. We gave up a third and a fifth, along with Stuckey. I think thats a more than acceptable value considering Edwards upside. I was prepared to give up a 1st for him this past spring. His value dropped and we got a good deal.

I am not concerned about Braylon on the field. He seems motivated and excited about a new start. He was asked about the problems he has had with dropping the ball. I was very impressed when he admitted that it was probably related to focus because he was very unhappy in Cleveland. I honestly feel he has more pro-bowl years ahead of him and that 2007 was no fluke.

Here's the big questions:

How will Edwards pending suspension effect the Jets? If he is to get suspended, we need it to happen sooner rather than later. We need him available after or week 9 bye.

How long until #17 starts to have an impact? I think our home game vs. Miami may be the targeted spot.

Who will be our slot receiver? Keller is a TE but I assume he and Cotchery will join Edwards as a three headed attack.

And now for the final big question: Do I consider the NYJ's to be a Superbowl contender? I guess they are as much a contender as any other team that is over .500 at this point of the season.

The real test for this team will be our final 3 games. Atlanta, Indy, and the season finale at home vs. Cincinnati. The playoffs will start for us on December 20th vs. the Falcons. We may actually be better off as a wilcard. Teams like the Steelers and Giants made championship runs by gaining momentum at the end of the season and running the table in the post season, including the wilcard round.

One thing to look out for is #6's stamina as the season progresses. A college QB is use to the season ending in late November. Fatigue ad the overall grind of the season could be an issue with our signal caller.
