...DE Trevor Johnson, C Norm Katnik and LB Ryan Myers. Looks like Eric Mangini is interested in some free agents. http://insider.espn.go.com/espn/blo...&source=john+clayton&univLogin02=stateChanged
Surprised to see Katnik go. I guess that means either Kendall, Teague, or Wade Smith will start on Sun.
Interesting...Maybe that means Schlegel will be activated in place of Myers... Johnson lost a role on this team when Dave Ball emerged as a solid backup, along with Bobby Hamilton... Katnik I guess i'm ok with, Wade Smith is here and it looks like Teague will get activated IMO.
The Katnik release hurts. I guess this means Smith and Teague are ready to be placed on the roster..but Katnik really did a decent job for us and offer some versatility. Perhaps he gets placed on the PS.
I'm very surprised that the Jets thought enough of Katnick to play him the last two weeks and are now releasing him. Maybe they weren't sure if he could play and decided to try an acid test.
Katnip was crap and nearly got Chad killed on a couple of plays. Surprised that clever trevor was released though.
cant they put either katnick or myers on the PS? sorry if its a dumb q, but i cant remember if players need to clear waivers before going to the PS. i think they do, but its late and im stoned silly. i liked myers, he was a good special teams guy. trevor johnson really did become expendable, hes an ok backup, but he is def eating up a roster spot. hopefully mangini will be bringing in some talent with 3 spots open. i know schlegel got the PS PotW last week, so maybe mangini feels like its time for him to step in and step up. i thought katnick did a pretty good job against buff. i mean, it was his second career start, and after notching 7 sacks against the phish buff got none or 1 on us. that says a lot for the guys that were in the trenches for the jets.
all three were semi-surprising. We all knew they were at the bottom end of the roster, but they all showed at least a little promise. Oh well.
We need a boost in the run game, maybe Wade Smith can help the line in that dept b/c katnik wasn't getting it done. Still, maybe we should hang on too him to see if he can add some bulk....
Catnip was okay. He was a young guy who could play multiple positions, so I'd like to see him around. That being said, he got no push in the running game, and Teague also plays multiple line positions. It's not much of a loss. -X-
Ryan Myers was a ST demon, I don't understand that move, unless its temporary. Don't be surprised to see this guy picked up by NE.
where is the official press release on this? i remember telling trevor in his rookie year to sack eli manning for me (giants preseason game) to which he responded i did once in college i will try to do it again. i belive he sacked one of the backups though
