Guest Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 According to Ian Rapport Jets LB Jermaine Cunningham has a torn Achilles https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/495941897219997696 If Cunningham, who the Jets singed last November, is truly out for the year, the Jets need to find other ways to generate a successful pass rush. This means that the aging veteran Calvin Pace will have to somehow duplicate his double-digit sack totals from last season while receiving help from Jets newcomer Jason Babin, who will be expected to contribute immediately.

JustInFudge Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Sad to hear about the former Gator but wonder if he was going to make the team to begin with...especially if Barnes get healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Idzik will replace him via the waiver wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Il Mostro Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Barnes when he is healthy. Any recent updates on his rehab? Nothing so far inspires optimism. I was looking forward to seeing whether a dose of Rex could fix Cunningham. Their timing on the Babin signing could't have been better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorge o8 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 did he only played special teams or what? how many sacks last year? hope he gets well soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Shame for the kid, but a fairly meaningless injury for the Jets. They picked him up last year mid-season. IIRC, they cut Ricky Sapp to sign Ed Reed. The Texans signed Sapp before he cleared waivers, so they picked up Cunningham. He played a couple of games with no stats and spent the rest of the year inactive. They signed Babin and drafted 2 guys, so his spot was pretty much gone already. I don't see how anyone could think the Jets were counting on any pass rush out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Babin is the guy anyway. He'll make the roster and make his sacks. Team will hate him by November. He'll sign a vet minimum with the Dolphins in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
