Baltimore North (The New York Jets for those without a sense of humor) is in a state of disarray after falling to 2-3 with their third straight loss this season. Their star cornerback, Darrelle Revis, got burned by Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker and their offense hasn’t seemed to click five weeks into the NFL season.
A vital part of that offense is former Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason, famously known in Baltimore for playing injured and saying things that he wished he didn’t say, spent this majority of this week’s loss on the sideline. ESPNNewYork.com reports that Rex Ryan benched Mason “because of his mouth.”
Mason was reportedly part of a group of Jets players that complained to head coach Rex Ryan about offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. Though Mason denied those claims, Jeremy Kerley still played the majority of yesterday’s game over the veteran Mason.
The New York transition doesn’t appear to be going so well for Mason. In addition to playing for a third place team, The Newark Star-Ledger reports that Mason has had a difficult time learning the Jets offense.
Many fans were concerned about the Ravens parting ways with Derrick Mason after the lockout, but it looks like once again they made a move that was best for the team. Mason was a vital part of Baltimore’s offense, but his mouth and age likely ended his tenure with the Ravens.
The Ravens Triple-A affiliate can take Mason now.
I wouldn’t say Revis got burned… he allowed 5 catches after Welker had had 25 in the previous two games. Not too bad for a shifty WR like Welker. Maybe Welker got the best of him, but it was close.
Seriously?? Gee are you a Jets fan. One word—GARBAGE. Sanchize is garbage, Rex Ryan is Garbarge–the whole team is garbage. Just like Ryan’s gut his mouth is a close second. When are all the Jets faithful going to realize that Ryan needs to go, Revis is overrated and the rest of the team will never go anywhere with Sanchez behind center. The dude played a whole college season plus a few games and walks into a starting job. His arm is like a rubber band and the dude will never be a pro-bowl caliber quarter back. I truly believe if they can keep the team together and maintain most of what they have and have had in the past 2 years they not only would win a super bowl but probably would have won one already.
