It's a slow time right now, waiting for draft picks to sign followed by TC. We've had "All time Jets Team" discussion before, but how about an entire roster w/ a depth chart. 53 players, Jets player from any era. Let's see what we come up w/.. QB: Namath/ O'Brien/ Testaverde/Pennington RB: Martin/ McNeil/ Boozer FB: Riggins/Snell/Anderson(All purpose) WR1: Maynard/ Walker/Keyshawn WR2: Toon/ Sauer/Chrebet TE: Shuler/ Mitchell LT: Powell/Jumbo Elliot LG: Rasmussuen/ Cadigan C: Mawae/ Fields/Mangold RG: Herman/ R Thomas RT: Hill/ Ward/ Fabini LE: Klecko/ Byrd/Ellis DT: Lyons/ Marvin Washington/John Elliott DT: Robertson/ Salaam RE: Phiblin/ Gastineau(3rd down pass rusher) SLB: Lewis/Cox MLB: Buttle/ Vilma/ Jones WLB: Mehl/Grantham CB: Glenn/ Jackson CB: Semple/ Hasty/Mickens SS: V. Green/ Rhodes FS: Schroy/Mcmillan/Lott(only w/ us for 2 years late in career) P: Jennings K: Leahy
QB- Joe Namath, Chad Pennington, Ken O'Brien RB- Curtis Martin, Freeman McNeil, Emerson Boozer FB- Matt Snell, John Riggins WR/SE- George Sauer, Al Toon, Wesley Walker WR/FL- Don Maynard, Keyshawn Johnson TE- Mickey Shuler, Jerome Barkum, Pete Lammons LT- Winston Hill, Jumbo Elliott LG- Randy Rasmussen, Pete Kendall C- Kevin Mawae, John Schmitt RG- Dave Herman, Dan Alexander RT- Marvin Powell, Kareem McKenzie LE- Gerry Philbin, Shaun Ellis, Mark Gastineau LDT- Joe Klecko, Jason Ferguson RDT- John Elliott, Marty Lyons RDE- Verlon Biggs, John Abraham SLB- Bryan Cox, Greg Buttle MLB- Marvin Jones, Kyle Clifton WLB- Larry Grantham, Mo Lewis, Lance Mehl LCB- Aaron Glenn, Johnny Sample RCB- James Hasty, Randy Beverly nickel CB- Ray Mickens SS- Brian Washington, Victor Green FS- Darrol Ray, Erik McMillan P- Curley Johnson K- Jim Turner
I believe Ray was better than Schroy. Beverly may have been a tad better than Jackson. Jackson did play for the Jets longer (95 games to 40 games for Beverly). I'd been more willing to change my Beverly choice to Jackson than I would Ray to Schroy.
He played SS in 2005 in the 4-3 and played mainly FS in 2006 in the 3-4, but I did see him play SS a few times.
How is Laverneous Coles or Chrebet not going to be on it. Ill take chrebet in the slot any day of the week, it dont matter who wuld be avaible he my number 1 slot guy on reliability an tuffness alone.. And coles How arent u guys going to have coles on your team is crazy, if we had a big time quarterback i culd promise u that he would put up big time numbers. Coles is a workhorse who has speed an hands to go along with it. Also he can run routes very well.
Mickens was a very good player in his prime, probably the best nickel corner in the league for many years. And considering this is an entire roster we are assembling, Mickens is a legit choice.
I don't think you can put Mangold, or Rhodes in there yet because they only have 1 and 2 years experience. I would replace Mangold with Sweeney, and Rhodes with Burgess Owens. That's not to say that Mangold and Rhodes will be at the top of the list in a few years, just not now.
I agree w/ what you're saying...I just wanted to make things fun and add acouple guys from the current Jets roster.
