JetNation Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 By Glenn Naughton When New York Jets safety Calvin Pryor was removed from Sunday’s game against the Miami Dolphins at London’s Wembley Stadium with a knee injury, his replacement may have come as somewhat of a surprise to some fans. Dion Bailey, signed by the Jets just last Monday and participated in only two […] Click here to read the full story... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIJetsFan Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 His college highlights are impressive but than they usually are. I suppose the Hawks were hoping to place him back on the PS but they weren't as lucky as we were with Owusu. I'm totally jazzed about Mac's ability to find talent and I hate to go over the top based on 1 good quarter of play, but this guy looks like a find. If not, nothing lost but if he turns out to be legit competition for Pryor I'll be thrilled since I'm not that high on Mr Pryor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true....but I was surprised to see him out there after only two practices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsons Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I like that he played 2 yrs as a LB, you can see he knows how to tackle & is not afraid to stick his head in there... I like his hands also, hopefully he continues to play well & sticks around with us for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 I liked him coming out of college, always taking him in the lower rounds in mocks. Was surprised he wasn't drafted. So glad we got him. Our secondary rocks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brown Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 First that was a great article, really informative !! The only thing I don't understand is why Seattle cut him?????

Savage69 Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 at this point it might be Milliner himself... No one except a jet fan gives up on a top 10 draft pick because of injuries..Remember Marvin Jones the 4th pick in the 1st rd of the 1993 draft?? Injuries plagued him his first 4 seasons but from year 5 on he played all 16 games from 1997-2003... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rillo Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Seemed like he was all over the place Sunday when we really needed it. Looks like he maybe a ball hawk. Let's hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Just reading that story reminds me of why Bowles & Mac are on the same page. Bailey is perfect for this defense, a hybrid safety/LB. Similar to the signing of Gilchrist a Safety/CB hybrid. Versatility is key for Bowles defense & don't think for one moment that Bowles wasn't thinking about stopping the Pats & Gronk when making these defensive personnel moves. At 210 Bailey has more size & speed than a LB trying to stay with a TE, plus he has LB tackling ability. Pryor needs to look in his rear view mirror because his tacking & angle taking have been horrific at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a little more than just normal injuries with Milliner and it dates back to his college days as well and was a huge red flag coming out.

ARodJetsFan Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 maybe I am completely overreacting, but to me he really flashed in the scant number of plays he had last week Exactly what I was going to say, Bailey stepped right into Pryor's spot and made some plays. Can't ask for any more than that from a waiver wire pick up that was on the team all of a week. The kid seemed confident, I thought he looked good.

At some point, Milliner needs to put together a solid 16 game season - and soon. I hear what you said about Marvin Jones - but the league has changed alot over the last 12 years and I am here to tell you, Milliner is running out of time with the Jets.
