I love how Jets fans thought that this was going to change during the off-season. From Rotoworld:
According to Adam Schefter’s Twitter page, “signs from OTAs were not encouraging” for Jets 2008 first-round pick Vernon Gholston.
Non-contact OTA practices should be where Gholston excels because he’s 6′3/260+ and can fly. The new Jets coaching staff has been positive about Gholston’s progress, but unbiased observers don’t seem quite as upbeat.
Gholston is quickly becoming a cautionary tale. Teams should learn and stay away from these guys who disappear on film. The “Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane” guy needs to stop being so highly regarded and people need to remember that football is a physical game.
As for the Jets, they need a puss rush to be successful and it’s beginning to look like Rex Ryan is going to have to go really deep into his bag of tricks to create one.
