Ryan claimed circumstances got in the way. Gholston went from 4-3 defensive end at Ohio State to 3-4 outside linebacker with the Jets under previous head coach Eric Mangini to 3-4 defensive end last year under Ryan.

The Jets also added Trevor Pryce during the season, an acquisition Ryan said hurt Gholston's snap count.

Were not in great need of a defensive end. But, if you can get a guy who had such great potential I'd be intrested in atleast a one year contract. Maybe he is a better player in the 4-3 like he was in ohio state. I think he's deserving of a look maybe the practice squad?

We made lewis and brayton into respectable players instead of dissapointments. It was with different coaching staffs and they also were not busts on the level of gholston though.

With little to no financial risk why not?

Exactly. There is a lot of difference. He did not become a terrible football player in 2 years.

Make jokes all you want (others on this thread), but the system has everything to do with him. We could use an End--if we re-sign CJ, we still need a fourth DE (assuming you do not like Brayton there, and I have a feeling RIvera will want more pass rush).

He would cost next to nothing. All 53 players on your team are not superstars. Gholston would come here with NO expectations and back at his natural position. It would be smart.

      Ticket Prices

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
