CrazyCarl40 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 No one the Jets RB depth chart is as good as Gurley. He's played 0 downs in the NFL. No one on the Jets RB depth chart may have the ability or potential of a Gurley, but no one knows if he'll be any better come September and the games are played.

Revis Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Love our offseason but the lack of a home run hitter/ scat back for 3d down scares me. Especially consider we're going to be running a spread offense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I don't get the hate on Ivory ... The guy is a beast. Ivory Powell Ridley Stacey I'm good with that. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk I hope this is the way it looks. Powell is the only one of the group that can catch out of the backfield, or pass block effectively for that matter. The others are all hard running pounders. That's OK, those guys are always nicked up if over worked Guess they will do away with the FB position, thank God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running backs are a dime a dozen and Gurley is not on the level of the best backs in the NFL. And that was before the knee injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Seems pretty obvious we're going to be grounding and pounding. We've brought in two running backs that are exactly like Ivory. Maybe there's some hope for Stacy as a pass catcher, unlike Ridley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Ivory played like crap last year especially over the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gurley is a great prospect, but that's all he is at this point, a prospect. And an injured one too. I might trade one or maybe even two of our four RBs for him, but to trade all four of them, as has been suggested, not a chance. I don't think the RB stable is the weakness that it's being made out to be. None of them are studs, of course, but Ivory has performed well for us, as has Powell at times. Stacy and Ridley have both had some success in the league as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 fwiw I think there's a decent chance Powell's starting week 1. I'm one of the few here who have been saying he's capable. Dude isn't flashy, he's not a homerun threat, but he's good at every aspect of playing the RB position. Behind a bulldozing OL, which I'm frankly not sure if we have, he could easily emerge as a bellcow in the way guys like Thomas Jones and Adrien Murrell have for us in the past. Dependable, durable, good at every aspect of his job, just not a guy that will set the world on fire. Stacy is meh, he was 4th on the depth chart in STL, because he's limited at being an everything RB. Not sure how he'll snap into what we're doing, but I do know Fisher was just dead-set on finding the next Eddie George out there. I would have much preferred trading for Tre Mason, he just seemed far more explosive. Anyway, we'll cobble together a RB pecking order, but I agree, Powell has as good a chance as any of these guys at being "the guy". I'm rooting for Powell to emerge.

RB isn't a weakness but it's not really a strength either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Leprechaun Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 It's funny, but when all was said and done, Stacy reminds me a lot of David Cobb out of MN. Perhaps better vision than Cobb, but same kind of runner. Jets had priorities and pass-rushing OLB was higher than a RB. Still got somebody in the mix, just not the perfect guy to fill the gap as a pass-catcher. There will be a lot of guys that won't fit other systems once the cuts start rolling around so let's see what happens. Jets absolutely nailed the draft by any measure.

Jetster Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Running back by committee is the way to go in this league. There's only one Marshawn Lynch. What the hell have the Vikings won with AP? The Texans won 1 game in 2013 with Foster. The Cowboys needed 1st round picks at every position on the Oline to get Murray to take off & they still let him walk. Trent Richardson was a bust. The Patriots picked up Blount off the trash heap & he ripped the Colts a new one in the playoffs. There's a reason RBs aren't picked in the 1st round anymore & this year there wasn't enough studs after the top 10 in the draft to avoid grabbing Gurley & the Wisconsin kid. Running backs get hurt....a lot. Jets have a good enough stable with Ivory, Powell, Ridley, Stacy. Look at the Ravens,they replaced Rice with a vet in Forsett & didn't miss a step.

JustInFudge Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The Jet RB depth chart is brutal The depth is brutal? I'd disagree with that. They have 4 guys who can carry the load at any given time, they just dont have a premier back. A bunch of so so guys, but I wouldnt say that depth is an issue. They're deep, just not with anyone special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Kind of strange the way we are getting these Rams cast-offs. 2012, Darryl Richardson has a nice year backing up Jackson - 500 @ 4.8, a bunch of receptions. 2013, they let Jackson walk and Richardson barely cracks 3ypc for 215, losing stats and carries to Zac Stacy. Stacy gets almost 1000, though he is under 4ypc. 2014, Stacy loses carries to Tre Mason and ends up with under 300 yards, continuing at a 3.9 ypc clip. I guess next year we will get Tre Mason after he has a down year. Meanwhile, Isaiah Pead manages to stick around with no production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldnt believe they didnt target a back...I do kinda like Stacy though. If he's committed I think he'll end up getting the bulk of the carries.

It looks like the Jets are going with the old Parcells approach-I will bludgeon you with big RB's until it breaks your back in the 4th quarter. But the Jets are approaching it differently. Rather than having one big back absorb all the punishment, they are sharing the load. My hope is that the O-line can hold up to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LouisvilleSlugger25 Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 I don't mind the depth and I don't mind giving up the 7th rounder but Stacy is not an upgrade over the 3 other guys we already have on the roster. But if we suffer a couple of injuries he isn't a terrible replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if we suffer a couple of injuries he isn't a terrible replacement. What they are looking to do is keeps backs fresh, and wear down defenses. Hopefully the o-line can impose their will a little. If the Jets are successful in this, it opens up the passing game much more easily, and you can really use Smith on some play action snaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long Island Leprechaun Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 The Jet RB depth chart is brutal The ranked third in the NFL last year at 142 yds/game rushing behind Seattle and Dallas. They will have a better O-line this year and a more stable RB crew. If that's brutal, I'm missing it. That's at least respectable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Jets are successful in this, it opens up the passing game much more easily, and you can really use Smith on some play action snaps. This. Stacy could actually be the perfect fit, as he is a one cut physical runner. The JETS will do the same thing on offense that they will do on defense...throw a horde of guys at you who have a similar skillset and talent level. Whilst other teams will wear down, the JETS will not have much if any talent dropoff regardless of who is playing. This team is shaping up to be a very physical nightmare for other teams to play. The Marshall trade, the Smith pick and Gailey's spread become the keys on O as Defenses will no longer be able to cheat or stack the box. More room for Marshall, Decker, Kerley, Amaro and now Smith to operate. If Owusu and one of Evans or Enunwa can step up, our WR depth will be complete. The crowded backfield should become a bigger weapon than previous years as a result of the spacing dictated by the WR core and offensive philosophy. With less defensive pressure in the box and an improved OLine, Defenses will have a lot to handle dealing with Ivory, Ridley and now Stacy. All of these guys run about 220lbs and can also pass protect (or so I have heard) Add to that mix Powell, the jack of all trades. They may not be all world outstanding but they are all solid , decent backs. This will be a team that can play all out for 60 minutes. The depth on both sides of skilled ,experienced players is unprecedented in recent memory of JETS teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
