 Vernon Gholston-LB- JetsNov. 11 - 7:56 am et
The Jets picked OLB Vernon Gholston No. 6 overall in the 2008 draft because former coach Eric Mangini lobbied hard for him, sources tell the New York Daily News.
Gholston is still young, but he's been a bust so far. He has zero sacks in 24 games and barely plays on defense now that Calvin Pace is back. Gholston could end up inactive as the Jets need his spot for better special teams players. "That one's on Eric," one source said.

 Vernon Gholston-LB - Jets Sep. 11 - 1:02 pm et

Jets beat writer Rich Cimini expects the Texans to "run right at" fill-in OLB Vernon Gholston on Sunday.
Gholston, starting for suspended Calvin Pace, showed no instincts in August and struggled to shed blocks, Cimini notes. Houston's offense will be pass heavy this year, but Steve Slaton could have a very nice all-puropose game against a typically strong New York defense. Jets LE Shaun Ellis is also out.

According to the National Football Post, at least one Jets executive says Vernon Gholston has looked ineffective all camp.
"He has no instincts," Mike Lombardi adds. Gholston had a pressure against St. Louis in the Jets' preseason opener, but was otherwise quiet. The '08 No. 6 pick is getting outplayed by Kenwin Cummings and Brandon Renkhart.

Jets coach Rex Ryan singled out OLB Vernon Gholston for praise on Monday.
"Is it me or is Vernon Gholston looking better?" asked Ryan. "The guy is getting better and he's more confident. He's playing more physical, more productive in the pass rush, setting up games, communicating with his teammates." Gholston has received mixed reviews in camp, but it's nice to hear he has the head coach's support.

 Marques Murrell-LB - Jets Jul. 27 - 1:54 pm et  

Beat writer Rich Cimini doesn't buy that the Jets are completely sold on starting Vernon Gholston during Calvin Pace's four-game suspension.
He calls third-year OLB Marques Murrell a possible alternative. "What was he supposed to say?" writes Cimini of Ryan's support for Gholston, the 2008 No. 6 pick. "It would've been a bigger story if he DIDN'T name Gholston."
