New York Jets dynasty help?

[RockDatBeat]

I want to make a New York Jets dynasty (since I'm like obsessed with Rex Ryan and his defensive genius self), creating my own coach and all. But I need some help setting me up. I want similar personnel/philosophies that the the Jets have now. I'm going to start with the off-season but I need some help with the decision-making. Please help me!
PLAYBOOK SELECTION
Offense- Default one sounds about right and I can just upgrade it a bit. Maybe even add plays that they use in real life
Defense- Rex Ryan 46 or Rex Ryan's plays. Add plays that they use in real life

PHILOSOPHY HELP
I need help for the following position philosophies:
QB
WR
DT
FS (I plan on keeping Kerry Rhodes)

OFF-SEASON HELP
I wanna still get Vernon Gholston and just move him to DE but in the 2008 Draft, the Rams ALWAYS draft him 2nd overall and I can never trade up. How can I still get him?

I don't want to sign Calvin Pace even though he is always available towards the end of free agency. Who are some players I could sign or trade for that are like Pace but better in-game? Also would like to find players similar to Jim Leonhard (I'm thinking I could work some magic in the draft and land Gholston AND Kenny Phillips to play SS).

How the hell do I get rid of DT Dwayne Robertson??? He is such a waste of cap space but I don't think it wise to just take that enormous penalty by just releasing him. I can never ever get trade offers for him. Should I just live with him being on my roster until his contract is up or what?
Finally, who are guys I could trade for that would do well in my offense? I don't know a lot about NYJ's offensive playbook/scheme.

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

Hmmm... I don't know much about the Jets. But what I do know is, TRADE FOR DONOVAN MCNABB! I got him for a HB with 88 Potential (Lorenzo Booker) and a 3rd and a 4th or the next year. And the next year he got 4500 yards, 40 TD, 10 INT, and an MVP award.

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

McNabb's my favorite QB. I'm thinking about trading for him but I think I might trade for Pennington or another accurate QB. I want to have a good run game and an accurate QB because I don't plan on going deep often.

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

The Jets are actually pretty fun imo

I wouldn't bother getting vernon gholston instead with ur 1st round pick get keith rivers, he is a BEAST in any scheme, he can blitz and cover well normaly wins DROY

The Jets offensive playbook is an alright run heavy PB, its also got the least amount of plays (i think) so players learn it fast, it just needs a little tweaking

For your philosophies just look at shottys card (since its his offence) and use those philosophies

for FS its Centerfield in Rex Ryans Scheme

DE - Run Stop
DT - Run Stop
OLB - Pass Rush/3-4 Blitzer (need high speed)
ILB - Power/Blitzer (but make sure they have high tackling and strength)
CB - Man Coverage/Ball Hawk (make sure they are 85+ man coverage and good tackling because they will be in man coverage alot)
FS - Centerfield
SS - Run Support/Big Hitter (but needs good coverage, in rex ryans defence the SS will blitz alot)

So with drafting take Keith Rivers at number 6 (as above)

If you want a DE take Calais Campbell in the 2nd, hes a great 3-4 end that is also a great pass rusher,

Also you can take Dre Moore in the 3rd can play 3-4 end quite well but you will need to rotate him

In the 6th round you can take Aythya Rubin (sp?) hes a great 3-4 NT and you will need a good back up for jenks coz he gets injured alot

If you want a WR i recommend Mario Maningham in the 4th round or Early Doucet in the 3rd they are good WR's that you can plug in as rookies (manningham may drop alot of balls his rookie year but that all stops in his 2nd year)

So if you draft these guys you should be fine, and have a very solid D line that you can keep rotating, I wouldn't worry about QB too much coz you can pick up a great one in future drafts, i went 13-3 in my first year with the dolphins with jim sorgi as my QB, pretty much because of my defence

The biggest problem will be stopping tom brady 2 times a year, i always smash the pats when brady is injured but when hes healthy he kills me lol, i shutdown welker and moss but Chris Henry kills me (they normaly sign him) or the TE gets me

Have fun with your jets career, and sorry bout the long post lol,

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

Thanks for the help man! I really wish I could get Jim Leonhard on my team but I don't think he's even in this game.

So I'm not going to get Gholston and instead I'll get Rivers and maybe draft up and go after Phillips. If I can keep a 2nd round pick I'll go after Campbell too. But I don't think Bart Scott is on the roster so I might need to get him or somebody like him. OK...shouldn't be too hard.

Again, thanks!

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

Jim Leonhard is in the game, but hes not that good lol like in the 50's or 60's, when i did a jets career i started him at SS moved Kerry to FS, i rekon he played alright, but hes not pretty in man coverage :P

If u want a good tackler/blitzer at SS i rekon go Criag Steltz from LSU hes compared to Roy Williams, hes not the greatest man coverage guy, but hes good in zone coverage and a great tackler, u can get him in the 4th round i believe

Also if you can't draft him, pick up Gibril Wilson from FA, hes a great blitzer, good tackler, and a pretty good cover guy and hes a push over in contract negotioations

[HeathyT]

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

oh and Bart Scott, i wouldn't trade for him the ravens want a pretty high pick, but he does go to FA almost always after year 1, but he gets injured alot!

Spoiler

if you get the english draft path in the 2009 draft get Alonzi Sims in the 2nd round, hes awesome 92 POT,

remember u still have david harris, but for year 1 just be creative on defence, against some teams you will line up in the nickle for a bit, You could also draft Beau Bell in the 4th, i hear good things I've never drafted him before so i can't say much about him

Haha even more help. Thanks!

I've never really taken time to figure this out but how do you get the draft class you want? And which is the best draft?

[sketch22]

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

To get the class you want save the game after your last preseason game and just keep reloading till you get the class you want.

As far as the best class it depends. The English class is extremely talented the first few years. Great players throughout. The Ozzie Jones class isn't as deep as the English class but still alot of talent the first few years. The other two classes are not as talented to start out, but they each have their good years.
To sum up: English is the easiest by far, then the Ozzie Jones draft. Sweetney and Zazzali aren't as top heavy, but do have good players you just have to look harder.

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

lol u have made me wanna do another jets career :P

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

I am also in love with the Jets because of Rex Ryan! Favorite coach/personality in the NFL.

Anyways, I have some ideas for you when you are in the off-season. You don't need to really try to get 2 1st round picks to get Phillips. That's hard to do with the Jets. Instead, go after free safeties O.J. Atogwe or Ken Hamlin. Both do well in that all-out blitz system. If you go with Atogwe, keep him at FS and move Kerry Rhodes to SS. If you go after Hamlin, keep Rhodes at FS and move Hamlin to SS. Otogwe beasts it up in zone coverage, breaking up/intercepting a lot of passes. But Hamlin is ALWAYS around the ball in this game and can rack up the tackles if you use him a lot in a 46 formation (where either safety is up at the line of scrimmage). I prefer Otogwe but that's just me.

Try to trade away Kris Jenkins. He's so useless for me and is one of the most injury-prone players in the game. Just not worth the stress and irritation, especially with the hidden gems present in the 2008 Draft. Trade Jenkins away for picks. Make whatever signings you want. The only recommended signing I can think of off the top of my head is offensive guard Jake Scott since the OL is sort of in need of an upgrade. I recommend stocking up on picks for this year's draft by the way. A lot of players that can help you right away...SPOILER ALERT lol.

Spoiler

Anyways, in the draft, I always like to go after defensive tackle Dre Moore and right end Calais Campbell because their gems to be quite honest. Moore has a 87 potential rating and Campbell has a 93 potential rating (tied for highest among all defensive ends). Also, draft LOLB Xavier Adibi and Jordan Dixon. Then I guess you can draft wherever necessary. After the draft, though, some undrafted rookies that I have found are almost always available are:
WR Darius Reynard
ROLB David Vobora
CB Jonathan Wilhite
most of the time HB Xavier Omon
sometimes Andre Woodson OR RE Eric Baker

Draft those 5 players if possible. You can move Vobora to MLB and have a good 3-4 MLB backup. Omon is a power back with 86 potential and can fill in for Thomas Jones sooner or later. Other guys you could consider are WR Pierre Garcon or CB Jonathan Zenon, but those two don't have as high of a ceiling as the other undrafted rookies I mentioned at their position (Bryant & Wilhite). Woodson and Baker are kind of optional to be honest. I tend to go after Baker because he's a defensive end who could potentially take over for Shaun Ellis (veteran DE). He has 84 potential too. But then Andre Woodson has that amazing 94 potential but...it's just SO easy to find good QBs like that. So I tend to go after Baker instead.

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

doesn't OJ cost u a 1st round pick? i like Gribril Wilson better hes got pretty high block shedding makes alot of tackles, and hes a push over in contract negotiations.

Spoiler

Tony Bake is also a good UFA to go after, especially in the 4-3/4-6 packages, what about Aythya Rubin (sp?) hes like a 93 pot? (from memory) at NT

I have never used Ken hamlin before what kind of numbers does he put up?

I had Gibril Wilson in a Titans dynasty. He didn't do too well. Maybe it's because I played him at SS but I thought he was primarily a SS anyways??? Either way, I didn't like him and let him go after his contract was up. Bake is a nice player to pick up too. I tend to go after Baker first but if I need young DEs during that first off-season, I usually wait until after the draft to pick up Baker and Bake. But I hardly ever get Bake because I usually draft a DE in the 2008 draft anyways.

About Ken Hamlin, he does very well...in my defense, at least. I have a blitz-heavy defense and my SS (in this case, Hamlin) is at the line of scrimmage in a 46 formation. He gets a lot of tackles and stuffs a lot of outside runs if you line up in a 46 or you show blitz. He peaked 114 tackles in a season in a Ravens franchise. But again...that's a blitz-heavy defense. His best year during that franchise was 114 tackles, 2 sacks, and 6 interceptions. I've never had nearly that much success with Gibril Wilson.

I like Atogwe because if my blitzes aren't working, then I have a safety that can stay back in coverage and make smart plays. And yea, I am aware that Atogwe is a restricted free agent but I've never had to spend a 1st round pick on him. If you manage to stock up on picks prior to the draft, you can trade up into the 1st round anyways. But if for whatever reason you have (and are unwilling) to give up a 1st round pick, then don't hesitate to take Hamlin or...I guess....Wilson. Anyways, there's more worries for the Jets during the off-season than just the safety position.

[HeathyT]

Re: New York Jets dynasty help?

yea i run a very blitz heavy 3-4 4-3/46 pretty much everything lol much like Rex :P

Gibril got about 7 or 8 sacks for me in 1 year, but now that i think of it never rly makes any plays in coverage, i might give hamlin a try is he expensive? Pretty much SS's for me have to blitz and be able to take the TE (sometimes they end up on a back, or even a 4th WR)

I could have hamlin as SS, since i'll have kerry rhodes at FS, but kenny philips is always great coz he is a playmaker gets a bunch of picks for me, and isn't a bad blitzer, but ceebs trading back into the 1st for him i'd rather stock up on picks for 2009 draft imo.

And Baker u say i'll take a look at him, cheers
