Jets' Vilma squashes rumors
Jonathan Vilma, citing the strict team policy that forbids players from talking about injuries, declined to be specific about exactly what kind of surgery he had. Among the various reports that have been floated about included one that he was having micro-fracture surgery, which is quite serious, but a person with knowledge of the situation said yesterday the surgery was not micro-fracture. Numerous rumors have been swirling since Vilma was mysteriously injured during the Jets' loss to the Bengals. There has for two years been speculation he dislikes the 3-4 defensive scheme Eric Mangini employs. There, too, have been rumors he and Mangini don't see eye to eye. And there have been subsequent reports Vilma had been shopped as trade bait before the trade deadline and that, with one year remaining on his contract, he'll be moved in the offseason. Vilma yesterday attempted to squash all those rumors.

Someone will make use of this guy, if they ship him out. They certainly won't get equal value for him. Mangini is clearly not the best at taking care of his better players, how can the Jets ever expect to sign any free agents?

I didnt play footbal so this question might be stupid...BUT why doesnt a LB like 3-4???? It looks like a heaven for LB....Linemen on the other hand dont get much press or stats but LBs make plays in the 3-4...so some clear it up for me
