KRL Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Here's his scouting report from last year's draft: http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/karlos-williams?id=2552380 He's going to be out for the first four weeks because of suspension so maybe we bring him in and feel him out. If he shapes up we keep him if not say goodbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 All depends on whether the guy feels he learned a big lesson by being cut. The talent is there but if he is even a smidgen insincere then no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARodJetsFan Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm not a fan of this....I don't like bringing in a division rival's cast-offs, this feels like a "Rex" move IMO. However, I'll digress to the front office & coaching staff....whatever they decide, I'm good with it either way. I do know that we are really tight up against the CAP at this moment and RB is by no means a necessity right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 as I mentioned elsewhere, this might also be Gailey banging the table for Karlos - in that can play on the LOS more naturally than any other back on the roster. It's within our universe of offense to have a single back who flexes to the line based on presnap reads. Powell and Forte are great receiving backs, but that's coming out of the backfield. Different than lining up against DB, which is what Karlos was at Florida State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 He is suspended for 4 weeks and works out. He starts practicing now. Someone will get hurt between now and week 4 of the season. Smart move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But guys like Sheldumn Richardson, Gordon, Martavis, etc. usually slip up again. The fact that the Bills cut him is pretty telling. I agree with this 100% Rex loves the ground and pound game if he doesn't think this kid is worth keeping on his roster after a solid rookie season then this kid has trouble written all over him.

New York Mick Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I was hoping we'd draft him. Solid player if he can keep his head out of his ass. Imagine how much of a **** up you need to be for Rex to get rid of you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying, if Amaro's struggles continue and something happen to Enunwa for example -- then a guy like Karlos can eat up those targets and touches with his versatility. At his best, he's a fairly versatile chess piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe W. Namath Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Rex giving up on him so fast is telling. Theres more going on here then the weight and the drugs. Its low risk but maybe you tell him hes got to make a certain weight and get himself straight and now we have something for next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doggin94it Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Or QB? Seriously though, I don't mind bringing him on. But we're gonna keep 4 QBs and 4 RBs? he gets put on the Reserve-suspended list for the first four games, and doesn't take up a roster spot Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harlemnite1 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I like it and hope the Jets can find a way to get him on the team. Forte is on the wrong side of 30 and really can't get 2 yards when you need it especially with our O line. Powell is brittle and we don't know what we have in Robinson. This is a young trying to figure it out. Keep him away from Sheldon Richardson and we have a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of RBs are dinged up every year. Other than his ankle last year and a seperated shoulder in his second year (I think), he hasnt had an over-abundance of injuries compared to NFL RBs.

Jet9 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Men gaining weight while the SO is preggers is a real thing. That said, he needs to be in shape to play NFL football. I'd also like add that Jets fans love themselves some Bilal Powell. He's every bit of alright as far as NFL RBs go. Some think he's Walter Payton.
