Probably the best part of this website is that we are graced by a lot of sharp regular commenters.
Recently I decided to start checking out a few college prospects. I watched one game of USC wide receiver Drake London. I was impressed by what I saw, but I was curious what others thought so I asked in the comments.
The following are some of the answers. I thought they were so insightful that I wanted to share.

Today we continue our podcast series focused on Jets needs and turn our attention to the defensive side of the ball. On the show I talk about the three spots I think are weakest on the Jets defense.
As was the case when I discussed offense the other day, I am talking about specific starting spots, not groups as a whole. I base this on a number of factors, including the value of positions.
Obviously based on their performance in 2021, the Jets need...

Good morning, Gang Green Nation! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. While the Jets sport one of the youngest teams in the NFL, there are still plenty of holes to be filled on the team. On top of that, some of the team’s impending free agents are some of the better players the Jets have fielded so far this season. It will be an interesting adjustment from GM Joe Douglas on how...

What do the Jets value in a tight end?
The answer to that question might offer us an indication of the path they will choose in free agency to address the position.
In the past year plus since Robert Saleh and Mike LaFleur arrived in Florham Park, most assumptions about the team’s roster building on offense have been viewed through the lens of the San Francisco 49ers. That is the former employer of key Jets coaches. The 49ers provide something of a...

Good morning, GGN! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Some shocking news in the NFL world, as New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton has announced he will be stepping down as head coach of the Saints. With that happening, it opens up the opportunity for potential trades, and potential free agents shaking loose with uncertainty at the coaching position. The Saints new head coach most...

There are numerous ways to look at needs. As teams approach the offseason, they take stock of these needs. The most common way of viewing them is to simply look at the weakest positions on the team.
On today’s podcast I go through the offense to find the three weakest spots. I am not looking collectively at position groups. I am focused on individual spots so right guard is the focus rather than offensive line, and the currently vacant slot receiver...

Good morning, Gang Green Nation! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Last night’s playoff game between the Bills and Chiefs may be the best in recent memory, as the game came down to an OT loss for the Bills. Up by 3 with 13 seconds left, the Bills allowed the unthinkable to happen and let Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs drive down to kick the game-tying field goal, then win it in...

Elite talents in a small package
Sometimes in life things can turn out the way you want them, just not how you envisioned you would get there. Boyhood dreams can be great, but you never realize how much work it takes to make them happen, even when they are actually happening. Such is the story of Calvin Austin III who grew up in Memphis hoping to play football for the University of Memphis Tigers team.
“My dad would take me to...

On today’s podcast we conclude the recent series on Jets players about to hit free agency. Previous installments have discussed players at skill positions and in the trenches. Today the focus is on the defense and special teams. (Yes, I know some of the players in the trenches are on defenses. Just go with it.)
Given how bad the defense was for the Jets this past year, there will need to be major changes on the defensive side of the ball....

The divisional round of the NFL playoffs ended last night, and my goodness, that may have been the greatest weekend of football in NFL history. Four great games, three decided with game winning field goals. And just when you think it couldn’t get any better, the finale between the Chiefs and the Bills develops into a game for the ages, with wild lead swings all over the place in the last few minutes, and an overtime game winning touchdown by the...

Good morning, Gang Green Nation! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Shout out to Mr. Wells for holding down the fort over the weekend as usual. While the Wildcard round of the playoffs may have had its ups and downs, the Divisional round was full of amazing games. Lost in the shuffle of the games was Jets twitter, which seems to have put up more of a fight than the team itself in...

The divisional round of the NFL playoffs concludes with a superb matchup. To close out the divisional round we have the Kansas City Chiefs hosting the Buffalo Bills in what has the potential to be the best game of the year.
The 12-6 Buffalo Bills come into this game red hot, winners of their last five games. The Bills are fresh off an absolute demolition of the New England Patriots last week. No opponent has come within 12 points of the Bills over...
