Larz Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 he will be the DPR. he can run around the OT, and make things happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It really isn't. The guy has one move and he's not even average at it. Nothing he did last night would fly against starters and for the most part he was getting butterflied by backups last night. Absolutely no reason he belongs on this team. Yes, we need a pass rushing specialist. The problem is that he's not good at being a pass rushing specialist, and if a dude whose only talent is speed rushing hasn't capitalized on that by his 3rd year, there's no reason to believe that's going to be clicking any time soon. No chance he makes the team IMO. westerman needs a written invitation to get in the backfield. he will make the team because the jets are that desperate for a guy to come off the edge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bx Jet Fan Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I did a little reading about Maybin on 2 Bills Drive, one of their fan websites. They were talking about the guys outside rush move and saying that is all he has. They also said that he got benched on specials and he shied away from contact. That being said, I am OK with him taking up a roster spot. If he doesn't show anything after 4 games and BLOWS on specials then cut him. If he is making a genuine effort on specials then I say keep him for the year and put him with Bricks nutritionist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance he makes the team IMO. I agree fully with your analysis of Maybin, but I still think that he can make this team and help. We are not talking about using him as an every down player, but he is doing more than Jason Taylor did as a Jet. I think Rex will be sending DBs up that gap they get from his ridiculously wide rush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Oh come on. I mean strictly as a pass rusher. I actually meant to write shown me more, but it would have meant the same discussion. Jason Taylor was 100 times the every down player and even on passing downs he could do numerous things, all but one of them better than Maybin. Strictly as a luxury 3rd and long guy I think Maybin may be better than Taylor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Maybin would be worse. I'm sure he was worse last year, but he does everything at top speed and his top speed seems pretty fast. I'd like to keep him around for 3rd and 8 or more and see if he has other uses. I think he could thrive in limited situations and with limited expectations.

Matt39 Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Taylor was our best pass rusher last year. He's the only guy that had any moves at all. Do you all watch football or just skim through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 “He did have some moments in that Philly game,” said head coach Rex Ryan in reference to the Jets’ Thursday preseason finale. “He had 1.5 sacks and he actually missed another one. Certainly he played well and he’s on our roster. He is one of those guys we had talked about. We had three spots open and I thought his play rushing the passer — that’s what landed him on the roster.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 I skim but Taylor absolutely sucked last year. He had two shining moments though. So that was cool. He had at least three shining moments. Strip sack to seal the game against New England, a sack in Miami, and the safety against the Steelers.

Lego My Lageman Posted September 5, 2011 Share Posted September 5, 2011 The problem with maybin is that they would HAVE TO cut Westerman IMO The Jets did what they needed to in reguards to Rob Turner and keeping him on the team. Before cuts they had McElroy holding a spot as well until he went IR.They cant keep to many roster spots for special circumstances or specialty guys. We mix it up and need versatile players to move around. Maybin doesnt fit that....he is Jonathan Vilma size....If we had Elroy, Turner and Maybin that would be a waste of 3 spots for one guy that will play maybe 10 snaps, in effect make Mike Westhoff go on a killing spree. Westerman it is..... :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westerman it is..... :/ Why did they have to cut Westerman? They probably would have cut McIntyre first. I know they kept McElroy-since IR'd,Turner and Payne, but they also have a ton of ILBs. They certainly could have cut one of them as well, especially when you consider that they have used Westerman there in the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
