Thanks FireVenturi, you've always had my favorite name on the board. If you notice my account started in 2006. I almost replied to a thread about how Venturi was really the biggest problem with our team, but decided that I really didnt need to restate the blatantly obvious

My heart sings to hear so many of you on board with Vilma! I'm not sure if its more happiness with a stud at LB or hungry for a smash mouth D that other teams don't laugh at!

Regardless, does anyone else feel like the kid who got the red rider BB gun for Christmas?

If Vilma turns out to be a stud we only lose a 3rd rounder, which seems like a great deal to me. What worries me is that maybe the Jets gave Vilma away for so cheap because he is hurt worse than we think.

Oh well you're absolutely right about him being an elite linebacker those first few years. He had over 170 tackles his second season, I think. The only reason why his numbers declined was because of the 3-4 system that Mangini brought in.

You guys need to hit the Fan2Fan link and go the Jets site. Most of their posters are pretty PO-ed about the Vilma trade.

I know everyone wants Briggs next but if we dont get it done, how about one of these four:
Boss Bailey
Dhani Jones
Dan Morgon
Jerimiah Trotter

And then Draft our L.B. and use him and Shanle & Simenou as our backups.
Just wondering if briggs is gone who would be the next viable F/A pick up.

I'd bet my right foot that we draft Rivers =\
