“If you’re going to reach out to anybody who knows the 3-4 defense who’s it going to be: Lawrence Taylor. I talked to Lawrence and he said Vernon Gholston reached out to him earlier this week. Taylor said ‘I’ve never really dealt with anybody like this but I went up and met with him in New York for about 90 minutes earlier this week. I just tried to talk to him about the nuances of the position.’ LT said he really liked him, and that he’s going to continue working with him, breaking down film with him and probably work with him in the off-season.”
After the game, Jets coach Eric Mangini said he knew nothing about this.
