Jets' Gholston still believes he can be dominant

Gholston interview

I liked this read mostly because I'm a sucker and I believe Gholston will one day develop into a serious badass.

No player should be written off because of one season.

 

[Hasselbeck]

I agree with Gholston.. he now has an excellent defensive minded coach to use his skills appropriately. Eric Mangini is one of the worst coaches in football, and showed it last year.

Rex Ryan will turn Gholston into a dominant player IMO.

 

[Maestro]

I agree, Ryan has made some of the best LB's in recent history, he can do the same with VG.

 

[Archer]

It worked for Suggs , why not Gholston?

Explain that too me.

I've heard this thrown around a few times and never really understood it.

 

[Primetime]

I'd like to see him get out of NY now. I don't see them having a very solid next few seasons.

 

[G-men]

Explain that too me.

mangini showed last year that he didnt know how to utilize the skills of one of the great quarterback ever in brett favre. i remember one situation where the were 1st and goal on like the four. they had favre at quarterback and mangini had them run the ball three times in a row. hes obviously no "mangenious."

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Utilize the skills of Brett Favre? He got Favre to do the same thing he always does. Gun sling. The only time Favre had success this year was when he was short passing, which im sure was by Mangini's design.

Favre sucks the last 6-7 yrs the way if you use Brett the way he wants to be utilized. His last yr with GB he was good, because he finally listened to his coaches and always made the smart play and when he didn't he usually cost them the game(bears,giants).

What worked for Suggs? Suggs didn't need ANY help. Gholstons name should not be in the same sentence. Suggs was a DOMINANT pass rusher since he came out the womb. Gholston was/is a project. I think he can become very serviceable with RR's leadership but a star he will not be. Suggs is a natural player, Gholston is workout warrior.

14 sacks his junior year... athletic freak of nature... absolutely bitched everyone across from him his junior year... but he can only become "Very servicable".

OK.

 

[Kia Kaha]

I thinks it different from the suggs situation, In Suggs rokkie year he was the defensive rookie of the year and was a sack machine, then we teached him up coverage and runstopping and he is probably the best 3-4 OLB in coverage now,

I like Gholston a lot but i question his ability to suceed as when he is engaged he cant seem to get offb blocks, if any one can do it though its Rex Ryan, that man is the mad scientist

As much as I hate the Jets, I agree with this.

Mangina FTL, Ryan FTW

 

[Blick]

Dude he didn't bitch anyone. I take it your a big OSU fan and that fine but he was NEVER dominant even in college. Like I said keep his name away from Suggs. What did Suggs have like 50 sacks in college? One is natural and the other is a robot. Give me a break. Serviceable at best....Hell Jay Richardson has had a better NFL career so far and that says a lot...

Tamba Hali had more sacks than Mario Williams when they were rookies. Doesn't mean shit.

I think Gholston could be a fine player. You can't write him off after one year.

 

[Blick]

Yeah but Gholston couldn't even get on the field. I'm not writing him off...I said he will become a very servicable player...whats wrong with that?.I just was responding to someone saying that RR worked for Suggs when Suggs was a beast way before he ever even met Rex.

I agree that Suggs was a beast before Rex. But, it's not like Gholston wasn't productive in college. I think he has the potential to be a lot more than serviceable.

 

[Rayman]

14 sacks his junior year... athletic freak of nature... absolutely bitched everyone across from him his junior year... but he can only become "Very servicable".

OK.

Only person he really bitched was Long.

That was why he got drafted so high.

Your right, any smart coach would let a gunslinging quarterback with average accuracy try and throw a touchdown pass from the 4 fucking yard line instead of letting his workhorse running back try and pound it in.

LOL are you kidding me with "He didn't bitch anyone?" I can understand concerns about taking plays off, whether or not he is a LB or a DE, but are you really saying he didn't bitch anyone?

The man dominated the entire Michigan offensive line (Which included #1 pick Jake Long who he beat for Long's only sack of the year) to the tune of four, had four sacks against Wisconsin, and played great against Ciron Black in the NC.

First off, GTFOH with Gholston not being dominant in college. The stats disprove that and anyone with half a brain who watched a Buckeye game in 2007 will tell you that.

Jay Richardson? Seriously? Are you seriously using Jay Richardson to support your argument? First off, Richardson and Gholston are two completely different types of players. Second off, Richardson never had to switch positions going into the NFL, while Gholston had to learn a whole new position after playing DE his whole career. Third off, considering last year was Richardson's second year in the league, you would think he'd have had the better career thus far then the rookie..

So your going to tell me, that a 6'4 260 pounder that runs a 4.58 and has a 42 inch vert and is a physical freak can only be servicable at best? LOL.
