JetsHead coach Eric Mangini did a masterful job in 2006 of implementing his plan as the Jets exceeded everyone's expectations as an AFC wild-card team. Mangini did a great job of getting his players to buy into his system, which is very difficult in today's NFL. Under the leadership of general manger Mike Tannenbaum and Mangini, the Jets have a very bright future. The one major attribute that this team had in 2006 was its ability to play hard for four quarters and finish games. Offensively, quarterback Chad Pennington was named the starter by Mangini heading into the 2007 season. If Pennington can remain healthy, he should prosper in his second year in offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's system. The addition of RB Thomas Jones (trade), who will team with change-of-pace RB Leon Washington, should pay huge dividends for an offense that finished 20th in the NFL in rushing. Defensively, the Jets have a big-time need for a shutdown corner and an edge rusher who can create problems when rushing the quarterback.Key additionsThe Jets were active in the early days of free agency, when they acquired Jones in a trade with the Chicago Bears. Jones is a solid north-south runner who appears to be getting better each year. The Jets also added FB Darian Barnes (Dolphins), QB Marques Tuiasosopo (Raiders), and re-signed RT Anthony Clement. Tuiasosopo is an experienced quarterback who will compete with second-year player Kellen Clemens in training camp for the No. 2 spot behind Pennington. Defensively, the Jets added DE Kenyon Coleman (Cowboys), who is a versatile player who fits their 3-4 scheme. Another key addition that should add more spice to the Jets-Patriots' rivalry was New England WR coach Brian Daboll. Daboll is a solid addition to the Jets' coaching staff and is expected to coach the quarterbacks.<span style="color:#FF0000">Mock draft: JetsThe Pick (No. 25 overall):TE Greg Olsen, Miami-FL InsiderOlsenTodd McShay: Instead of using this pick on more pressing needs, the Jets could snatch the only elite talent tight end in this year's crop. Olsen would be a valuable weapon for Chad Pennington.</span>Key lossesThe Jets entered free agency without any marquee players of their own who were set to become free agents. However, the Jets did lose FB B.J. Askew to the Buccaneers. Askew was a versatile player who was used mainly as a blocker with value on special teams. They also released backup running backs Kevan Barlow and Derrick Blaylock, QB Patrick Ramsey and C Trey Teague. Jets brought in Barlow as a possible replacement for franchise RB Curtis Martin, but he was a disappointment.Remaining questionsHeading into the offseason, Tannenbaum wanted to fill as many needs as possible to place the Jets in a position to take the best player available in next month's NFL draft. Offensively, the Jets must find a solid third option in the passing game that can complement both Laveranues Coles and Jerricho Cotchery, especially when attacking the middle intermediate areas of the field. The defense is still a concern until the Jets can find a shutdown corner and a defensive end who can create pressure when attacking off the edge. The Jets' run defense should be much improved in Year 2 of this regime based on better understanding of gap responsibilities and run fits in Mangini's 3-4 system.

Good luck having a team with talent.
I think the worst thing for the Jets was to make the Playoffs and lose in the first round. They're still a "rebuilding" franchiese. BUT there will be some quality players avaible in the 20's. Hell, there will players in the 40s who will be pro-bowlers.

And as shown by the Patriots the past half a decade or so, they can build a team with talent just fine.

You may come back with "if they don't want to disrespect them, why would they make this song?" It's just a freaking song. I could sing a song about how I'm black or something, and it wouldn't actually mean I'm black.

If you're mad at Greg Olsen, that's dumb. I doubt he expected to go to the Bears, and why wouldn't you hire the best agent available?
