Ghost Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I honestly do not know much about this guy but I do know he is versatile and that's always a good thing. I also know he's more of a coverage safety than a in the box safety. Hopefully this guy pans out. I just want to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'll say it now, I'll be surprised if both Allen and Pryor make the final roster. Jmo. I know guys like Cro are big fans of Allen's skills. But he's really a natural in the box SS like Pryor. In these spread one back sets everyone uses now I don't know. Maybe I'm not giving either enough credit. Especially Pryor. Should be really interesting how it all plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 How good is this guy? More of a coverage player than a run stuffer, I hope? He played Corner coming into the NFL and did well in 2012/2013 moved to SS and preformed even BETTER in 2014/2015. Looks like he can do it all... And he has to be able to cover his he played corner well I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycdan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Makes me wonder if Skrine was really a need but I guess we locked him down before we knew we could land the other 3 DBs we signed since. But basically, assuming Bowles will run a base nickel package, we just signed four of the five starters in a week. I assume Pryor and Allen will compete for the 2nd Safety spot with Milliner and maybe Walls as the backup CBs. MM turned the worst secondary in football into one of the best faster than Idzik could figure out how to get an outside line on the phone system.

Ghost Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I like Antonio Allen. I think he's going to see playing time at LB in dime packages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Both will be here.... I'm just throwing it out there. Seems they want more of the cover safeties or guys that can cover over the top off press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cfresh Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What I like about this is that clearly Mac and Bowles had a real plan coming into FA. They went after specific players that fit specific roles to fit the scheme they want to implement...aka Skrine for slot, Gilcrhist as cover safety...and obviously Revis as the top cover corner. I haven't felt for years like we really approached the off season with a plan...Tanny just trying to make headlines...and Idzik, well 'nuff said...no plan at all except hoarding cash. For the first time in a long time, I feel like we have a future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 3 of the best days in a while - Go Jets! Bowles has had 5 DB's in a package with lineman rushing the QB, plenty of work to go around more like 3 days, but whos counting 3 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 What a wonderful few days. I think they're done spending. Time to focus on the draft now. If the Jets can hit home runs in the draft we might be on to something. OLB,RB,QB,MLB. Let's get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

win4ever Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Decent signing I guess, don't know that much about him. The draft profile seems to think he's a very good cover guy, fast, and strong. Although can't really find too much information about his coverage skills. I'm not really sure why we targeted him over Moore, but we seemed to have gone all the way, negotiating with him for multiple days, wining and dining, I wonder what they see in him. Apparently Greg Cossel loves him, when they were discussing possible safeties for the Eagles. http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/videos/videos/Film-Room-The-Free-Agent-Safeties/a49a8a33-f902-433f-82bb-6f64ae5c3d8f Decent watch I guess. Says he has some special abilities. I'm guessing Jarret is out after this, Allen can backup Gilchrist. And Landry is most likely out as well.

Jetlife33 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Seems like he has good coverage skills, but can definitely get in the box and make a tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmat321 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I really think either Millner or MacDougal (he doesn't look Scottish) gets cut by the end of camp. Money is on the Scot..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot-Face Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm guessing Jarret is out after this, Allen can backup Gilchrist. And Landry is most likely out as well. Yeah, Landry should definitely be the odd man out, but why not keep all four of Gilchrist, Pryor, Allen, and Jarret? I think each has their own strengths, and that should be a pretty interesting battle to watch in camp. Besides, doesn't Bowles use a lot of DBs?

MM turned the worst secondary in football into one of the best faster than Idzik could figure out how to get an outside line on the phone system. Agreed. Skrine seems redundant. I have high hopes for Milliner and if he performs as expected, we'll have to trade away a CB or two. I liked Walls as a backup as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Like what I see/read about him a lot. Looks like the defense is set going into the draft. I would love to add Dante Fowler Jr. to this elite unit. Hopefully Maccagnan turns his head to weapons like CJ Spiller now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't know Gilchrist as a player but limited searching shows he wasn't highly ranked among FA safeties at all. PFF had him near the bottom of the list, as did espn. Anyone know anything about him to suggest he was worth a 4-year deal and will be a material upgrade over Allen?

CaliforniaJet Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I really, reallllly hope Pryor puts it all together. Same here, and from what everyone says about Bowles, if he doesnt then he wont play. I hope he plays the best players at all positions no matter what their name or draft status is.
