Dear John Idzik: Good Luck!

Put yourself in new GM John Idzik’s shoes.

Your new team, The New York Jets, lacks depth, youth, speed, and has an abundance of PR headaches. What to do?

The New York Jets have an absolute mess on the offensive side of the ball. However, they still have a championship caliber defense.
