Jets Sign CB Darrin Walls to Practice Squad;

Release WR Jordan White from Practice Squad

September 28, 2012 - The New York Jets have signed CB Darrin Walls to the practice squad and released WR Jordan White from the practice squad. The announcements were made by General Manager Mike Tannenbaum.

Walls (CB/6-0/190/Notre Dame/Pittsburgh, PA) entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with Atlanta (07/27/11) and recorded one interception and two passes defensed in five games as a rookie. He was waived by the Falcons during the preseason (08/27/12).

White (WR/6-0/215/Western Michigan/Cleveland, OH) was a seventh-round selection of the Jets in the 2012 NFL Draft. He signed to the team’s practice squad (09/02/12) after being waived following training camp (08/27/12).

FCKING TANNENBAUM.

I'm sick of this guy consistently missing out on the mid and late round studs.

quick

where is the 7th round pick from the 2007 buccaneers team ?

out of the NFL like 99% of the 7th round picks

wtf people

[Lil Bit Special]

They should expand the rosters. So we can have more sh*tty unprepared players not ready to step in when someone goes down.

They must not have thought much of White at all. Last week I definitely saw Clyde Gates getting playing time.....I didn't even know he was on the team - Clyde freaking Gates.

This

I thought White had a chance when they drated him. Gates had a hand in one of the picks. White must have really been stinking it up in practice

Poor form Max. Poor form.

Any way you slice it, this has not been a very good draft for T-Rex

Coples is just now getting on the field.....

Need room for Revis

Trader. Mike.

He'll probably be back in a week or two. Tanny loves screwing with the bottom of the roster/practice squad.

True. But even if he isn't, it is not at all unusual for 6th and 7th round picks not to stick with the team even the first year.

sh*t! I thought this was the prison thread that would re-kindle my interest here.

You really can't grade a draft before 3 years. What if Coples and Hill both make the pro bowl next year for example? Tebow starts getting used correctly and starts scoring TD's all over the place? 3 games in after the draft and it's already a bust of a draft???

ESPN and sports radio has taught us how to jump to conclusions way too early

[pointman]

Unrelated, but I'd just like to say.. I know Rex wants more corners, but I'd like to see Brodney Pool back. Thanks.

Exactly. No one wants to allow players to develop anymore. If you are a 1st day pick, or even a 3rd rounder you are expected to start and be a damn good one at that or the pick is a bust. It's getting worse and worse every year.

FCKING TANNENBAUM.

I'm sick of this guy consistently missing out on the mid and late round studs.

1st round: Tanny misses on Gholston, Wilson, trades the draft for Sanchez.........happens to every team
2nd round: Tanny misses on Vlad, no 2nd rd picks in 2008, 2009, 2011 due to trades...Quality over quantity, Ducasse is just "raw"
3rd round: since 2006 only 3 picks. Schlegel, Greene, Ellis....Greene had a 1st round grade! Ellis only went to jail for a little while! Schegel....ummm.
4th round: B. Smith, Lowery, McKnight, Powell...McKnight is going to be a cornerback! Powell is better than Greene (and Greene had a 1st rd grade!)

What about Mangold, Brick, Harris, Revis!? Remember thoso guys? Mangini does. He was still coach when they were drafted. The last decent haul we had.
Then there's the Santonio Holmes thing...when do we stop apologizing for this guy? When do we draft a decent lineman? When do we get a pass rush like the Giants? When do we get a receiving corps like the Giants? A QB like the Giants? What the hell is Tim Tebow doing here?! How was Favre allowed to clown us and leave for another team when his contract basically forbade it? How is Tannenbaum still employed by this team? Seriously.
