Gang Green Die Hard Gives Insight on Off Season Improvement

Rider University undergraduate Daniel Del Guercio has bled green for as long as he can remember. He believes the Jets organization should take advantage of the free agent market and be open minded in moving talent through trade as well. He's optimistic about next season, but for Jets fans, we've grown accustomed to being let down. Let's keep out fingers crossed.


Q: "Depending on availability, who would you like to see the Jets take with the 6th pick in the draft?"
A: "If still on the board, I think Vernon Gholston would be the best bet. He played a very complex defensive scheme at a top school in the nation (Ohio State). He's unbelievably athletic and could create a lot of havoc for opposing offenses with that intense pass rush."

Q: "There has been some speculation that Coles and Pennington may head for Kansas City to reunite with coach Edwards. Would you entertain th idea of this, and why?"
A:"I'd really hate to part with Coles, but Pennington at this point is expendable. He hasn't produced and he has a large salary. The first round pick we'd get from them would be a high one, and that may make it possible for us to get McFadden and Gholston both."

Q:"The Jets have nearly 28 million dollars to spend, if we could sign one of the big name players on the market which of these would you like to sign, Asante Samuel, Terrell Suggs, or Alan Faneca?"
A: I think Faneca may be the most important addition if possible. Then we would have D'brickashaw and Faneca to protect Clemens blind side."

Q: "With the Quarterback controversy in still up in the air, who would you like to see start next opening day?"
A: "Without question Clemens. We drafted him and the second round. He needs time to develop and have a line protect him well enough to not get end up in the dirt every play."

Q: "How do you think inking Bill Callahan will improve out offense efficiency?"
A: "I think a great deal. He's been in the league for a long time, with proven success, and is an offensive specialist whereas Magini is more defensive minded. It will be a good balance."

Q:"How do you anticipate the team to finish next season?"
A:"Im going to say around .500. 7-9. Our team is still pretty young and we have potential to improve once Clemens settles in. We have plenty of young guys with a lot of talent that could be beneficial for years to come."
