Ballard, perhaps wrongly so, went and got players who fit Pagano's system last season, just to give Pagano a real chance of improving the defense. It didn't happen and we knew it wasn't going to happen. You gotta admire Ballard's humility to do that, even when he also doubted the results.

Fast forward to this season and Ballard got rid of most of the Pagano stench, to give this regime the same chance he gave Pagano.

Hankins doesn't have a job. Tell what gives there? Anderson isn't even starting on a Jets team that runs a scheme that's fits his talents. What would he have done here?

Ballard admitted that he made a mistake by holding onto Simon too long and trying him in a variety of roles. It didn't help Simon and it didn't help the team.

Ballard deserves no praise for any of his personnel moves the last 2 years. He would probably tell you that himself. Because at the end of the day it's all about W/L. Sure we can question him and I often do. Just not to the point that I always think that the sky is falling every time he makes a decision that I don't agree with.

Who know's maybe with ample playing time and a few games under their belts, guys like Basham and Turay can at least become key contributors. I would certainly hope that each could top Simon's career high 5 sacks from 2 years ago.

Us loyal happy horse-shitters are just saying...Let's wait and see.

I agree with you. I would like to add that while this will probably a tough year, I think there are good signs. That's what I think from what I've seen. I like that the O line is headed in what appears to be the right direction. I like the D is younger and faster. I like that the offense seems to be less predictive.

It could be a worse record this year, than last. It's absolutely possible. But that's not going to dampen my enthusiasm for Sunday's game.
