Bart Scott has no idea

May

Bart Scott said the beauty of the Rex Ryan defense is communication and improvisation. He said that being too formulaic is predictable, and the success at Baltimore was in based in part on allowing players to use their instincts.

“The coach allows you to be a football player,” Scott said. “You got a job, get it done the best way that you can get it done.”

Last week, Scott and the Jets defense looked terrific last week in Thursday’s OTA. It seems as if the best defensive formations flex out of good chemistry, then this Jets team could become as dreaded as the way opponents looked at Baltimore. In this audio clip, Scott talks X’s and O’s about the way it works.

If Kellen Clemens had a tough time last week, it’s only going to be harder from here out. QB Matt Sanchez and RB Shonn Greene, who can use the extra reps the Leon/Thomas holdouts provide, will arrive today to compete for spots.

Leon Washington’s agent Alvin Keels had an interesting Twitter post this morning, saying he thought he could get something big done this week. Could that be Washington’s contract? True, today’s OTA No. 4 is voluntary, but the June 9 minicamp is not.

I also want to mention that the couple of players I asked about the possibility of bringing in former Giant Plaxico Burress in at wide receiver expressed enthusiasm at the prospect.

UPDATE: ProFootballTalk reports that Keels is meeting with the Jets today, which means Washington could be back in time for the next media availability this Thursday.

Hey Jane,
Glad to know you are doing this blog as well. The JETS are my second love. I have not kept up on any Jets news lately. I moved this link to my home page, so I will be checking in often.

[...] don’t know how to say this more effectively, but Jane McManus got one of the greatest soundbites from a Jets player in five years, listen to it yourself on her [...]

Fantastic updates, Jane! Whatever you asked, you got some real strategic talk out of Scott. Thanks for getting the audio up!
