TNJet Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Where has our most exciting rookie defensive player (L. Williams aside) been? This crap of Sheldon playing ahead of him at OLB is ludacris. Mauldin was a big bright spot for our pass rush last season not only because of his speed and ability but even more so for his fire and attitude, something we could really use at this time (cough) someone with a little fire and intensity...Everyone was saying he had locked up the OLB spot in the offseason and now he hasn't started one single game this year. WTF?? Bowles needs to try and remember what worked last year on defense and go back to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadFan Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 This team is such a mess from top to bottom. Hard to tell what, if any, talent they have on the roster. The only thing that matters is whether or not Petty can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 He's a one-dimensional player who is best served as a pass rusher on 3rd downs. You state "Bowles needs to try and remember what worked last year on defense and go back to it." What is lacking is a Pounding Run Game that kept defenses honest & tired while it opened up the passing game for a mediocre Fitz so the offense could flow and score MORE TDs than our defense gave up to the opposition. Now that we lost that facet of our offense, we are a one dimensional pass team with a JAG at QB that is pressing to COME BACK from deficits that our exhausted defense yielded due to the Jets' offense multitude of 3 and outs.

Well if someone can throw 9 picks in two games and still be allowed to start, however good any backup is, will be pretty irrelevant at this time. Bonehead decision of the year award goes to CTB.

joewilly12 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Mauldin went from a promising all over the field LB to a ghost it has to be the coaching cant figure this stuff out anymore this team drains you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Mauldin was a quick outside rusher who looked good in spurts on obvious passing downs and made an impact. So, of course, the Jets staff asked him to get bigger and add weight so he could be a player on all three downs. Well, wouldn't you know that now that he's added the weight, he's not as speedy and he hasn't panned out playing on earlier downs against the run either. They took away the one thing that made him good and now he cannot seem to get on the field. It seems like just another mind boggling decision by the staff and front office.

jetfan39 Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 we need to go back to the 3-4 defense and rotate our big 4 so they are fresh in the 4th qtr when it counts and get Mauldin to his best position as a passing down rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't mean you start passing to the defenders. Stop diverting blame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetdawgg Posted October 15, 2016 Share Posted October 15, 2016 Mauldin is a 3/4 OLB. The 2016 NY Jets are a 4/3 team. Mauldin is out of position because the FO let go of Snacks. Maybe they had no chance to sign him either. Without a NT the Jets signed more DT's without addressing a speedy DE. Any coach would have a problem with this configuration of players. Next time Macc goes after the BPA he should ensure that they fit the team scheme first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
