http://www.yardbarker.com/rss/player/3222 Recent articles about Kerry Rhodes en-us Back to work today here in Florham Park, where the Jets re-convened after a six-day break. A few tidbits from the FloP: I approached S Kerry Rhodes and asked about his lack of big plays over the first half of the season (zero sacks, zero INTs, zero forced fumbles). Rhodes' response: "It's a good question to ask." He, too, is wondering about the lack of plays. Remember, this was supposed to be a big year for Rhodes, who figured to thrive in Rex Ryan's system.

Rhodes, in a disappointing showing for someone who fancies himself as a team leader, made such a hasty exit from the locker room he was long gone by the time reporters were let into the room. He must have been talked out. Let's not jump on him too much for this. For all we know, there wa...
