Still on the adrenaline rush from Saturday, with a nice hike in the mountains of Glendale and a tour of Taliesin West (Frank Lloyd Wright's winter camp) in Scottsdale, I had a chance to study the draft of my New York Jets and wish to release some bile... What the hell are they thinking??? Just what we need... another unproven quarterback to go with the three (sorry, we gave one away) that we already have. We have a decent offensive line but with Coles leaving (Cincinnati, good choice--wasn't about money was it, Laverneas?) we have no one to throw it to. Stop the run, stop the Jets. Our defensive line couldn't sack potatoes, but we need another qb and running back! Our defensive backs better be good athletes because they are going to lead the team in tackles... And now they're calling Plaxico Burress??? Great PR move. Maybe they can get the NRA as a sponsor... Cotchery is a young talent but the rest of the receiver core is unproven and Sanchez better be mobile or he could be the next David Carr (spent more time on his back than a working girl!). What about taking that number one pick and using it to get Anquan Boldin from the Cardinals, a proven commodity? NO, let's steal the back page of the News with the darling boy of the draft instead... No one hopes this works out more than I do, but the glaring needs of the defense (our new coach is the former defensive coordinator of the Ravens and the son of the Bears defensive genius) make me cringe about the upcoming season... Three total picks in a draft where New England restocked their entire team with picks, Buffalo filled some glaring needs and Miami is still good from last year... Gang Green could be in for a long season, and the long suffering Jets fan is scratching his head at this weekend's activities... But I could be wrong (please let me be wrong).
Nice draft for the Giants...they needed a big play receiver and Hakeem Nicks is that...(drafting what you need, what an interesting concept!). Chris "Beanie" Wells also a nice pick for the adopted team here in Arizona... (Looks like the end for the "Edge")... Wow, that was very good to get that off my chest... Thanks to blogdom for allowing me a vehicle in which to vent when the need arises... and thanks to all of my readers for allowing me to go off on rants from time to time to keep my sanity at a consistent level. Still beautiful in the valley...No rain since that one day (been so long I can't remember--it was two Saturdays ago, I think). Back to working on the golf game...need to fine tune so that I can "represent" with my partner Victor at the annual grudge match with Walter and Bob...
