NY is on my birth certificate. Queens is where it all started. Jamaica Hospital. S. Ozone Park. P.S 100. My childhood. John Adams H.S. Always watched Jets with my grandfather and my older brother. He passed away in 1998 the year of Broadway Vinny was too sick to watch the games bad heart but he absolutely loved reading about the games and as a kid I would do my best writing on pen and pad play by plays to read to him before school on Monday. Ever since 98' 20+ years later it's been me and my older brother. And now our wives. We link up every Sunday at his home for our Jet game. BBQs. Pizzas. My daughter now plays with her cousins my nephew and niece. Time flashes. What do the Jets mean to me? Would be awesome to celebrate 1 Jets SB with my older brother in our lifetimes I've got diabetes and him getting older lol would be cool to finally give a winning high five or celebration hug lol man since 1994-95 I was 9-10 we've watched every game together the basement NY days missed maybe 8-10 games where we didn't catch a game together those handful of games weren't as fun since a kid guess I've always wanted it more for my brother than myself watching Jets football on Sundays just wouldn't be the same without him. Win or lose always a fun excuse to link up on Sundays and act like big kids again and yell at the TV and refs for 3 hours ha
i hear you. i don't think CB was a huge need overall in the draft, i feel it was one of those Huge needs to get a CB2 right away. obviously not something you'll get out of a 6th round pick but if a guy was there in the 3rd you think could start day 1 and be a decent CB2 you take him. we have a lot of depth/potential at CB but nothing good and proven outside of trumaine and the NFL is a passing league. roberts, poole, nickerson, jones, clark, robinson aren't exactly scaring WRs. now we have 8 CBs on the roster so likely 2-3 don't make the cut. hopefully Mo gets healthy and we bring him back another year but after 2019 we just have trumaine. we won't roberts the 2020 money on the deal (it's an easy out 1 year deal in reality) poole is on a 1 year deal, Mo if we do resign is on a 1 year deal. CB and C and OT will be our biggest need next year and we don't have money. but to be fair every team has holes so you expect your coaching and elite players to make up for those. darnold going all out would make us quickly forget about our holes
The Jets will have FA money just not the $ 100 million they had this past off season. I figure aside from the usual depth signings and JAGs the Jets will have enough to get one quality starter. Maybe a CB ? ....I haven't cheked or looked at any 2020 FA lists. We have no idea who would actually be available until then anyway. LT should be the top draft pick for the Jets ( extremely difficult to pluck a top LT away in FA ) - but after this past draft you really never know do you ? I just hope Polite pans out or it's back to the drawing board there.....
LT or #1 WR will do in round 1 IMO. Address the position out of the 2 that wasn't filled in round 1 in the 2nd round.
I really don't know. Maybe put another way - If BPA is objective or universal, that is, all teams can agree on who the best players are and rank order them, why don't they have a single scouting service do that for them? Maybe it's because BPA is always relative to a team's needs! So Macc's approach of simply grabbing the BPA regardless of positional need is faulty, and has led to us having an imbalanced roster every year he's been here. He needs to go away before this team can really improve.
Seems to me BPA is based on an aggregate of rankings on the internet. If said player is picked within that range, then it’s automatically accepted as BPA per the “experts”.
I respectfully disagree. Morse hasn't given up a sack in 4 years. Merely "average" centers can't say that. Morse is well above average imo. IMO the only knock on him is that he has a bit of an injury history. I think he's had a couple of concussions.
He is looked at as a good pass protecting center and bad run blocking, he’s also missed 16 games in the last two years. That’s about as average as it gets. Even so I’m willing to concede that both he and Ford are upgrades to the Bills line, even though that is far from a guarantee, especially considering Morse’s injury issues. The rest of the OL they have brought in though are nothing more than back up JAG types. I’m astonished how so many on here keep saying what a great offseason the Bills offseason has been while killing Mac and the Jets offseason. I do think the Bills have had a good offseason but I think the Jets has been better. I think that viewpoint is closer to what the NFL community thinks rather than the opposite.
I came into the offense really hoping the Jets would put a lot into strengthening that O-line, especially in pass protection. They definitely added a couple of pieces (mostly just the LG; late 3rd round OT is a project of course), but not to the degree that I thought was probably necessary to protect this QB. This is our franchise, and protecting him should be priority #1 always. I mean, we don't even have a real freakin center. I like some of the additions we've made, especially up the middle on the D, but to me because of the O-line improvements overall being less than what I expected this offseason is more of a B- for me.
nah i already looked. we don't have shit for money lol right now we are sitting at about 12 mil in space (our cap is 202 mil total. OTC has us at 189.5 and ST has us at 190.5 so lets say 190 which leaves us 12 mil in space. out of that 12mil the rookie pool is going to cost us around 9 of it so that leaves us with 3 mil this season which may or may not be used to add players as well during the season with injuries and whatnot so basically expect 0 rollover cap if we do get any roll over it'll be a minimal 1-3 mil at best so not really significant now if we look at 2020 we have OTC has us at 145 mil and ST has us at 154 mil so i'll split it again and say we have 150mil in salary. cap will be around 188 mil so we have roughly 38 mil next offseason. now minus about 10 mil for the rookie pool that leaves us 28 mil total. ok 28 mil isn't bad but lets look at who are FAs. leo williams - starting DE - market value likely around 14-17mil a season Robby Anderson - starting WR - market value likely around 12-13mil a season Kelvin Beechum - starting LT - likely not going to resign but need to find a replacement, possibly our 3rd round pick this year Brandon Shell - starting RT - market value likely around 6-10 mil a season, possibly replaced by our 3rd round pick this year as well Darron Lee - sub ILB at this point, likely going to be traded or allowed to walk. Steve Mclendon - starting NT - likely going to retire catanzaro - staring K - likely go as cheap as we can but either way we need a kicker jordan jenkins - starting OLB - market value 10-12 mil a year Lac Edwards - starting punter - like kicker you need a punter that doesn't include guys like poole (nickle back), siemian (backup QB), and other role players so with that 28 mil we need to sign a K and P for sure. you cna't field a team without one. Then we have big contributors that need to be replaced. jenkins at OLB, Robby at WR, leo on the D-line, at least one OT (assuming our rookie takes 1 spot next year) possibly 2 all to resign or replace. Personally i think leo walks next year. I don't think we will pay him his value since we just drafted Q. i think the plan is to have Q replace leo as a cheaper option. we might even trade leo this year which would help a ton. same goes to lee. if we let both walk next year the good news is, we likely get a couple of 3rd round comp picks. robby is on the bubble. depends how he plays this year. we may or may not resign him. jenkins would be a big loss for us as well. hopefully polite can ball so as you see we don't have any money to even thing about upgrading a CB
DId I miss something....Did Jordan Jenkins become good all of a sudden? Somebody on the market wants to give him 12 a year be my guest.
I'd say he's a solid OLB who has gotten better every year, and I expect that trend to continue this year barring injury. But a must keep player, he is not as of now.
yes you did. he is good. the jets just offered anthony barr 14-15 mil a year. a guy who has never had more then 4 sacks in a season and has 13.5 sacks total in 5 years. jenkins in his 3rd year just had a 7 sack season and depending what he does this year can easily earn that. 12 mil a year would be understandable for a guy who puts up 7-8 sacks again. if he crosses the 10+ he could get a deal close to what barr got. he's a 3 year starter who is young and improved every year. even if we don't pay him, we still need to replace him so we have to pay someone. even luvu and copeland are on 1 year deals so next offseason we will only have 1 OLB on the roster which is polite and we need at least 3-4 and 2 of them to be starters
i wouldn't say he's a must keep either but i was just talking about his marke value and the fact even if we don't keep him, we need to replace him
I'm certainly no expert on OL play, so could be wrong, but it seems to me that the most important aspect we need in a center is his pass blocking. Of course, we'd rather have one who excels at both pass and run blocking, but that may not be possible. The injury issues are a concern, but I know I'd feel a lot better about Sam's safety with Morse at C for half the season and Harrison for half the season, than Harrison for a whole season. We agree that Morse and Ford are upgrades to the Bills' OL. Of course there are no guarantees, there never are with any player. We can agree to disagree on the rest, but here are a few points that I think merit consideration. One, LaAdrian Waddle has been on the Pats for 4 years. He has played more and more each year and has started 7 games over the last two seasons. He has had the benefit of Dante Scarnecchia's coaching for 4 years. Don't you think it's at least possible that he could have gotten a lot better during that time? The Bills also signed Ty Nsekhe. I had never heard of him before they signed him, so I did some research on him then, which indicated that he was pretty good. I can't find the article I read at that time, but just did some more research. I think that he sounds like a very good signing and wish that we had signed him. Below are some comments I've read about Nsekhe. Isn't it possible that he's better than you think? https://redskinswire.usatoday.com/2019/01/14/ty-nsekhe-nfl-free-agency-most-underrated-players/ and an excerpt from another article https://buffalonews.com/2019/03/16/...-tackle-nfl-free-agent-arena-league-redskins/ https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/ty-nsekhe/7636 https://www.profootballfocus.com/ne...s-transformed-their-offense-around-josh-allen and and https://www.foxsports.com/nfl/story/season-grades-for-the-washington-redskins-offensive-line-010817
Source? From the media ratings, the Jets averaged out to about a "B" which when you consider that "C-" is about as low as most ratings go, a "B" is really more like a "C" in school. On two alone the Bills outdid the Jets. They grabbed a guy for their DL that many thought the Jets would take, Ed Oliver, and added one of the best OL in Cody Ford. I'm not saying these picks were head and shoulders better than the Jets first two picks, but the Bills did address holes on both sides of the ball while we went for "D" again. I'm honestly curious to see where you found this "consensus around the NFL" that the Jets did so well.
Team: Has improved significantly, but still has a few holes left to become great. Fans: They sky is falling!
Wait until Sam suffers a big injury from that swiss cheese OL that puts him out for multiple games, or god forbid ends his career, then you too will join the "Sky is falling" chorus.
