Boozer76 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Broncos have declared they don't even need WR's since Teblow is their starter. Pretty sure they're just gonna line up TeBlow and 10 lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JayKwaz Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Ran a 4.29 forty at his pro day, I am confused why this guy was on a pracice squad?

flgreen Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Guys 6'3" Runs a 4.3 40. Worth a look Holmes is small. Kerley is small. Plax sucks. Turner sucks. Need a tall guy who can run. Question is, can he Catch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Certainly a very interesting pickup. Figured the MTV release was to promote a different guy up from their PS, but it's certainly interesting to see them bring another WR, and particularly not one of their own PS guys, onto the active roster. Sure as hell sounds like the guy has the physical skillset, let's just hope he can put something together, because the Jets sure as hell could use a big, downfield threat.

If the Jets think Riley has a chance to be something legit, than it's certainly worth the shot. What he's done up to this point doesn't mean crap, it's all about what he does from here on out. It's not like there hasn't been plenty of NFL players before him that took a while to catch on, and that alone will have little to do with whether he has any future success.

Stonehands Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 Just read all there is to read on this guy and I applaud this move. Our wide receiver corp is nothing great outside Holmes and maybe Kerley. This guy can run and has had time to get acclimated to the speed of the pro game. Why not give him a shot. We also play the Broncos later in the year, so some intelligence gathering is not unheard of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets take a look at someone who might. If not. Back to the PS. Nothing lost Yeah, considering the guy is taking literally the very bottom spot on the entire active roster, if the team think the guy has a chance at being anything I don't see the big deal. MTV isn't getting back onto the field any time soon with Pitoitua back healthy and Ellis ahead of him on the depth chart and they clearly feel comfortable with keeping him on the PS considering that's where he was until they reailzed they needed him for Monday's game. Sure he could turn out to be a complete waste of space but if so, so what? I'm sure they'll figure that out quickly enough and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good hands and decent speed for a 6'3" wideout. Has to be better than Patrick Turner. Boo. Dislike. I'm talking about the post, not the player. Matt you have usurped 128's role! Let the kid do his job. Certainly a very interesting pickup. Figured the MTV release was to promote a different guy up from their PS, but it's certainly interesting to see them bring another WR, and particularly not one of their own PS guys, onto the active roster. Sure as hell sounds like the guy has the physical skillset, let's just hope he can put something together, because the Jets sure as hell could use a big, downfield threat. Agreed. The strange thing is that with the Broncos trading Brandon Lloyd you would think they would have promoted him. It's strange that he was that low in their plans and we still had interest. Maybe the Jets want the speed so they have a guy that is wide open and Sanchez can actually spot the guy as open in his progression. I think Burress is getting a little too much hate right now, but on that one fly pattern that he ran he looked slow and I'm sure they'd rather have a burner to run that route.

Outside of the fact that the last thing the Jets need at WR is another guy in his 30s, I assure you the Broncos were more than happy to trade him out of the conference (to the Rams), regardless of who that team's OC was. After all, it didn't seem to be a problem for the Jets when they traded with the Brown's 3 months after sh*t-canning Mangini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what that 50 yard attempted TD pass in garbage time was all about. Hasn't been working so well so far. As far as how Rex is talking. Did Mason get his 90 catches?
