SR24 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Tavon Austin. Line him up in the slot let him work down low under Marshall and Decker almost like an Edelman role or even out of the backfield on 3rd down. Gives us a real threat at as a KR or PR. Idk if it'd be possible to even get him or if the rams would listen but he would solve the wr3 problem and the special teams problems as well. If the rams are open to it i'd pull the trigger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Eric Decker played out of the slot a ton for the Jets this season. And he thrived there. The Jets do need a KR and PR but they need another threat besides Marshall on the outside. Not the inside. I'm sure they could find a use for him, but he's not a better receiver than Kerley and he couldn't see the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maury77 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If I could have one do-over from last year's draft, I would have picked Lockett over Smith in the second round. Would have given us a deep threat and a returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIJetsFan Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 OP, do you know anything about how Gailey has constructed this offense? Please think before you post, or as my grandmother used to say look before you leap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscrazey Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Players like Austin and Kerley don't really fit in this system because they don't block and they can't take handoffs. Maybe we can argue that Gailey needs to find a way to use underneath receivers who don't block well better. Kerley has some skill but Gailey wasn't interested in fitting his system around it. I think Gailey needs two more pieces to work with: -A solid possession receiver who can play the outside to complement Decker and Marshall. I don't know if Devin Smith fits that description, for now I just view him as a deep guy who won't get many good looks in a system with Ryan Fitzpatrick. And Enunwa is not that guy either. I think we need to concede that the deep ball just won't thrive with Ryan Fitzpatrick at the helm. As long as we get Fitz the right underneath guys, we can still get by. -A dual running-receiving threat. Bilal Powell did it well late in the season when he was healthy. He's a free agent now and they need to decide if he's their guy or someone else who's more durable. Fortunately running back has become one of the cheaper positions in the NFL. They should really get 2 dual threats for contingency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJoTownsell1 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I love Austin as a player, but he does not fit a need with Decker doing a great job out of the slot. Plus I think the Jets still believe in Devin Smith. I really don't think we will address WR via FA/Trade or with one of our higher draft picks. I agree with jetscrazey, we need a RB that can make plays out of the backfield. We saw the difference that made when Powell was healthy and when he was hurt. We were 9-2 when Powell played (although in 1 of those wins he barely played.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Marvin Jones is the guy we need as the 3rd/4th WR. Good veteran with great hands, won't be elusively expensive, makes plays in big spots, had some huge 3rd down catches vs Steelers. Has enough speed to make it easier for Marshall & Decker to work, has enough experience to abuse 3rd & 4th CBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinstar Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 If you have an interest in Tavon Austin, then my suggestion would be to draft Stacy Coley from the U . Same exact player that won't cost as much and is younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aec4 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Have to disagree I'd take Austin over Kerley in a heartbeat Where is Austin going to play? Decker played the slot a LOT this year.

Jet Nut Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I'm not getting how getting a player to play a position, slot WR, where we have a real good one in Decker, on a unit, WR, that doesn't need help, for a OC that doesn't like smurf WRs is the perfect player for us.

That would take a ton of pressure off of Marshall and Decker. I thought Enunwa, save for that last game, played pretty well also last season.

Patriot Killa Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Ashlon Jeffery..? Marvin Jones..? both good players who will be FA's. We need big bodies wide outs who can interchange and make 3rd down catches. As for running back, there will be plenty of great options in the draft and a few nice pick ups in FA. Same with LB because I know we need that. I say we target WR and LB in FA and draft RB and OL in the draft. We need that injection of youth along with some more seasoned players to complement the rest of the roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WR is just not a position where I could see us spending any FA dollars of significance, and that includes a guy like Marvin Jones. With Jace Amaro returning (taking a spot in our spread offense style away from a WR, when he's not handling H-Back duties) and our investment in Devin Smith, we'll likely just ride with what we have, while maybe spending a mid-late rounder on a WR if he's the BPA on our board.

That would take a ton of pressure off of Marshall and Decker. I thought Enunwa, save for that last game, played pretty well also last season. Agreed on the pass catching TE. That was essentially Enunwaa this year. Let's hope Amaro can bounce back and take Enunwas spot and hold on to the easy throws he couldn't last year. The only part I would be worried about is blocking. Enunwa threw some key blocks on running plays that Amaro may not be able to replicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Marshall, Decker, Enunwa, Kerley, Owusu, Thompkins, Smith - they really dont need anymore WR's.

Tavon can't really play the outside he's more of a shifty slot guy I think that is going to be some of Amaro's problem. He is also a bigger slot guy, but I'm not sure he brings much to the table that Decker doesn't already provide. He isn't going to excel as an inline TE and he doesn't deserve that many looks in the slot considering the success of Decker and Marshall. I wonder if he can do anything outside so that they can put all three on the field Based on camp they didn't like him much at all. I think Enunwa is becoming the Cotchery of this unit, (save the last game he played). The running back is definitely needes Cotchery dropped less balls his entire Jets career than Enunwa did the last three weeks. Enunwa plays because of his blocking and gets looks because the other two and the running game draw so much attention. There is plenty of room for another receiver to take the Kerley/Thompkins/Owusu spot. A bunch of people wanted DGB, I wanted Conley a little later. We ended up with Smith. Let's see how he recovers and if a year in the system helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
