Mecca Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Seriously. - When I went up to Florham Park a few weeks ago, I noticed a frail #83 with the 2's. Didn't think much of him at first. Until he literally found himself open every play and never dropped a ball. He was literally our best offensive player in camp. Pre-season game #3 almost in the books and he's scored in every game thus far With his slight frame, he's perfect in the slot. I'm LOVING him in this offense.

In today's NFL, a slight frame is going to be a drawback at any WR position, but particularly in the slot. That said, Anderson does seem to be doing well despite his build.

Scoop24 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 kid is balling I hope they continue to give him reps into the season .. He should of easily had over a 100 yards tonight again .

LIJetsFan Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Yup looks to me like Anderson makes the 53 and Peake goes to the PS. A good problem to have for a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIJetsFan Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 The cut down to 53 will certainly be interesting and telling. Love this team this year. Just hoping our game manager doesn't implode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fltflo Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Anderson is a sleeper and a keeper. With Marshall, Decker, and Anderson on the field at any one time, someone will be open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Anderson and Jalin need to be on the roster 100%. I can't help but be excited about their future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I think this is the deepest we've ever been at the WR position and this could be the fastest Jets team I've ever seen. Rontez Miles is a ST star in the making Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patriot Killa Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 In my personal opinion J.marsh, Anderson and Peake need to be on this squad. Thompkins does NOT have the ceiling these kids have. All that said, Thompkins does have the veteran presence....but he likes to drop important passes too, so there's that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlue Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Only comparison to Victor Cruz is they both are/were udfa wide receivers. One is 6'3 and the other like 5'11. Hopefully Anderson can have the career Victor was having before getting injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I would be shocked if he doesn't make the 53, but does he play specials ? that is usually a tie breaker in these WR deals fwiw worthy is listed ahead or marshall, ross and peake on the very unofficial depth chart and he showed ST skills last night thompkins is the x-factor, if they keep him the jets will wind up cutting 2 camp stars, and this place will go nuts, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie Anderson was the outside starter and Peake has shown more this preseason. I think Peake gets picked up off waivers before Marshall does, tho I think Marshall's skill set is more valuable to this team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 If he gets cut they will PS the kid and a good chance he will hit the field sometime in 2016. The thing is he will have to play STs and he's pretty skinny. Can he tackle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thompkins has no chance of making this team. None. He's a low-ceiling vet with no ST value on a significantly more expensive short-term contract than 3 young, inexpensive, high-upside and cost-controlled players getting serious run with the starters during preseason. He's also injured and hasn't shown much during camp when healthy. If you tried to engineer a worse situation for a guy trying to make a team, I don't think you could do it.

YankeeJet22 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 Marshall Decker Enunwa Peake J Marshall Anderson Ross All of the above make the 53. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted August 28, 2016 Share Posted August 28, 2016 I think they'll keep Peake and maybe Ross. Too many drops for J. Marshall. Both him and Anderson to the PS. Ross because of his experience and he's a more proven ST player and return man. But the guy I like so far is Anderson. I just think he can clear waivers and Peake wouldn't. But if they keep Anderson over Thompkins I won't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, the jets get to keep a 54th player out of camp since Sheldon is suspended. I think they keep jalin for a week and then drop him after week 1, when there's less chance other teams pick him up Sent from my SM-G920T using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
