Can anyone else what i see?

For the last couple of weeks i have watched every single snap this young, hard hitting, man beast has played. Every time he is in the game someone is getting hit and hit hard. I watched the game against the Giants and seen him go head up with there huge RB Jacobs. The outcome made me smile, about the only time i smiled that whole game. A collision took place with our new version of the "assassin" knocking Jacobs out of the game on a the goal line. Next play the Giants bring in there 2 ND RB again a collision a hard hit, but they crossed the goal line. Still a great effort, now i want to see our young, hard hitting safety in our "wolverine package" 3 safeties. I want to see him lined up in the box ready to fill his gap.

The Jets will run and run a lot this game, so we need an extra man in the box with some speed, and a reckless mentality. I watched last week on a kickoff return by the Eagles, Mike tackled there return guy so hard. I read his lips coming to the sidelines grabbing his midsection "OMFG WTF!" again i smiled. I have noticed every time even in a blowout loss. When they bring this Hard hitting safety into the game, players carrying the ball know he is there.

So i say lets start this youngster, lets allow him to hit and play so with a reckless mentality. If anything else the Jets will notice every time they get up after a hit. Mike Mitchell we want you to stop the run and let them know there is a new "ASSASSIN" IN OAKLAND.
