Today the Jets have unveiled their first depth chart of the season a few days before their game with the Cincinnati Bengals. Nothing surprising other than the 3rd safety position being added to the chart. Nick Folk is winning the kicking competition so far.

So Austin Howard isn't doing so well competing with Hunter.

[Larz]

no 2nd FB ?

new punter please

[KSJets]

I wouldn't pay too much attention to this. We all know Demario Davis isn't going to be that far down on the depth chart. It's an unofficial, official depth chart. After the starters, everything is pretty much up in the air.

[bitonti]

it's a huge sign of respect that eric smith is a 1st team safety. the Jets really do consider him a starter it would seem.

Terrance Ganaway is going to be the 2nd FB.

A lot of it is political right now. Making sure players like Davis, "earn it". No way will he be buried on the depth chart when the games start.

[Bleedin Green]

If you really look at this, it's pretty clear it's designed to give absolutely no information whatsoever on camp battles, etc. Across the board, every single returning starter from last year / free agent starter signing is listed at the top of the depth chart, with all of the rookies and low level FAs buried beneath them. The only real exception to that rule would be Hill at #2 WR, but even then that has more to do with the fact that there's nobody else they have any particular reason to fill in there. When you consider things like Coples being listed as a backup and listing 3 starting safeties (as all 3 qualify as returning starters or FA's signed to start), it tells you how little this all means.

[gangreenman]

So DeVito over Coples and apparently we're gonna start the season off with a 15 yd penalty for too many players on the field on D. We have to be the only team in the league with 12 listed starters, right?

[SoFlaJets]

Derek Chard...needs 2 be the starter

[JetsFanInDenver]

So our offensive line is so good we do not have any others behind the Top 3 at each position.

I doubt anyone would complain. If I where an opposing coach I'd rather play us with 12 men on the field if one of them is Eric Smith then 11 without him

[SenorGato]

Jets need Maybin to take Pace's starting spot so Pace can take Thomas' spot.

[GangisGreen]

and we wonder why our D is always caught with 12 men on the field

[Aronhias_16]

Jets need Maybin to take Pace's starting spot so Pace can take Thomas' spot.

I like your idea. might not happen right away, it could play itself out

[nj meadowlands]

Who is first string upback on the punt team!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I believe it's a 5 yard penalty, but maybe we can get away with it with these scab refs! Rex's master plan!!!


Also, I thought Austin Howard was kinda pushing Wayne Hunter....but he's listed third string?

[pointman]

Demario behind Mauga?? Seriously?

[Bleedin Green]

Demario behind Mauga?? Seriously?

I wouldn't take it to mean anything. Outside of Hill, all of the rooks are buried on the depth chart behind any returning Jets.

[BigL]

I hate eric smith.
