That's one more hole filled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscrazey Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Good signing. This team needed a blocking tight end. This will help in the run game. Amaro is a pass catcher and Cumberland just plain stinks. I would have preferred Fasano but he's gone already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot-Face Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Nice, Mac once again signs a player based on team need to fill a hole, not based on stats or reputation to fill headlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 We are signing a lot of vet jagdepth. We did need a blocking TE prerry bad though. Hopefully we draft one in the late rounds and can punt cumby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfGlennFoley Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hopefully wed can Cumberland instead of Sudfeld. I still believe in that kid's potential after seeing him at training camp last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did well with Nelson and Chandler. Maybe Amaro and Cumberland can succeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New York Mick Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I never understood why you'd use a blocking TE instead of just using another lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnknownJetFan Posted March 25, 2015 Author Share Posted March 25, 2015 To respond to New York Mick, I played some TE in HS so know a little bit on the subject and even a pure blocking TE is much more of a threat to catch a pass than any OLineman. Therefore, if you lineup any Olineman at TE spots, it makes it too obvious that it is a running play making the defense put 8-10 men in the box in which you are lucky if your runner will even get back to the line of scrimmage.

JETSfaninNE Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Hopefully wed can Cumberland instead of Sudfeld. I still believe in that kid's potential after seeing him at training camp last year. I think you were trying to say cut Cumberland and keep Sudfeld. If that's what you were trying to say, I'm in total agreement. I think Sudfeld can still catch fire with the Jets, it just takes patience and the Jets so far were willing to be patient. He showed some progress last year, hope Gailey and the TE's coach get the most out of him this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 A blocking TE opens up the running game while still forcing the defense to adjust to him as a receiver. We could definitely use this guy, particularly inside the ten yard line as he completes the "Jumbo" set while still offering a receiving option the defense must adjust for. Of the most recent JAG signings this one strikes me as possibly the most impactful. When the day comes that we have a franchise QB, then we can talk about elite receiving TE's.

Cutting Cumberland is certainly a possibility as this regime has no ties to him whatsoever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoot-Face Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 I was so hyped on Sudfeld, boy was he a disappointment in 2014. Yeah he was, but so was most of the offense. Only bright spots were Decker (when he was healthy), Amaro (on occasion), and Ivory. Aboushi did an admirable job, so maybe we have something there.

Ghost Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Fire Bowles if this guy doesn't catch 80 balls. Horrible signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 Cumberland has certainly been a disappointment, but it never ceases to amaze me the amount of love guys who don't see the field get around here. Zach Sudfeld is only two years younger than Cumberland. He has had every chance to see the field last year and caught 5 balls. 10 for his career with no TDs. I am all for seeing if he pans out, but the idea he deserves something over Cumberland is a bit much. Runs like Frankenstein, plays like Jane..

The Troll Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 We aren't cutting Cumberland for a veteran JAG that is 50/50 to even make the team. Was anyone even aware he was on the Giants? I remember him as a Bear and assumed he still was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
