(David Manning-USA TODAY Sports) Dom Cosentino | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com Michael J. Fensom | The Star-Ledger By Michael J. Fensom | The Star-Ledger Follow on Twitter on May 08, 2014 at 11:49 PM, updated May 08, 2014 at 11:52 PM FLORHAM PARK -- Last Oct. 18, in Louisville, Ken., Calvin Pryor’s future with the Jets began to crystallize. John Idzik, the Jets’ general manager, watched that night as Pryor zipped around the field. Upon returning to New Jersey, Idzik interrupted Rex Ryan’s preparation for an upcoming game against the New England Patriots. “He said, ‘Hey, I just saw a guy you are going to absolutely love,’” Ryan recalled Thursday night at Jets headquarters, shortly after the club selected Pryor with the No. 18 overall pick in the NFL Draft. Pryor left a quick impression on Idzik that night, exhibiting the attributes that led the general manager to say Thursday: “He fits our profile.” Specifically, Idzik pointed to the safety’s ability to cover large portions of the field, leave dents in opposing players with a hard-hitting demeanor and create turnovers. Central Florida opened the game with the ball, and pushed the ball down the field against Pryor and the Louisville defense. Pryor lined up all over the field for Louisville against an offense led by Thursday’s No. 3 overall pick, quarterback Blake Bortles. But on a 2nd and 10 from the UCF 29-yard line, Pryor lined up deep. Bortles dumped off a short pass and Pryor closed quickly to deliver a vicious hit along the sideline, rendering a UCF receiver motionless once he hit the ground (Video can be seen here). Idzik said the Jets were drawn to Pryor’s ability to deliver big hits and do so cleanly. On this play, Pryor stuck his shoulder square into the chest of the UCF player. “Big hits flip games,” Ryan said Thursday. UCF’s opening drive concluded in the end zone, with Pryor making a dazzling interception (Video can be seen here). Bortles heaved the ball into the corner of the end zone. Pryor leaped and reached the ball with his left hand. He hauled it into his body as he fell, and tapped his foot to secure the turnover. In addition to the highlights, though, Pryor also showed some of his weaknesses. His aggressive nature led him to over pursue a number of plays. On one occasion during that opening drive, he was on the wrong end of a big hit. After closing too fast to make a tackle, he was flattened by a UCF blocker.

jack48 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Three clear cut trouble spots on the team. 12 draft picks. 50mil in cap room. QB- Still in a sh*thole, no change from last year WR - Better but not one drafted WR in a class full of them CB - Still in a sh*thole and worse than last year I have absolutely no faith in this GM. Tahj Boyd. Really. Tahj Boyd. Shaq Evans and Jalen Saunders and Quincy Enunwa. Go **** yourself. Boyd was a Rex pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPBanBadPosters Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 Mettenberger sucks, we should hope the Titans are dumb enough to think he could be the answer, as it would be one less QB needy team in the hunt for Mariota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack48 Posted October 29, 2014 Share Posted October 29, 2014 And thats not idziks fault. I read that Rex was at Clemson to see his son and promised Boyd they would pick him---I guess if nobody else did. Silly stuff. Just like Conner and Scotty McKnight. Rex stuff. I think Rex has been the de facto boss of this team. He does a lot of silly sh*t behind the scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
