JetsFanInDenver Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 He was healthy and inactive this past week. Harbaugh gave a "I don't want to talk about him" type answer. This is now the 3rd team in 3 years who hasn't exactly fallen in love with Braylon. What do a few fans see that 3 franchises are blind to? I have not followed the NFL as closely as I normally would as i am out on vacation. But the box score shows him on the receiving stats. So i am sure he was on the field. Everyone knows he had the injury and knee procedure earlier in the season. So as i said his best is not good enough. At the end of the day, we do not have a deep threat this season!

Matt39 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 OMG, this statement was only made given the last couple games that Holmes had. F'ing jet fans man. Im fit to blow my own head off reading this sh*t. Not really actually. He had the fumbling problem and the dropsies last year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as i said his best is not good enough. At the end of the day, we do not have a deep threat this season! I was looking at week 15. Braylon Edwards was benched in Week 15 for performance, not injury-related reasons. "Just based on the practices and the games," coach Jim Harbaugh explained when asked why Edwards wasn't one of San Francisco's three wide receivers who played against the Steelers. "We'll see with Ted (Ginn), but I think Braylon should be ready to go and (I) look for a good week of practice there." We'd be surprised if the 49ers made any attempt to re-sign Edwards this spring. Source: CSN Bay Area I find it difficult to rationalize this anything other than this being Harbaugh's nice way of saying he thinks Edwards stinks. I don't understand what all the cries are. Tannenbaum got this one right instead of another giant contract to anyone willing to play for the Jets. He let someone go into free agency, without a huge contract, before he turned awful.

Matt39 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 How many fumbles/dropped balls did he have last year? I remember a dropped TD against Miami wide open in the end zone. Big fumbles at Denver and Chicago...he's had issues with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEJet Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 FYI Braylon just got released OfficialBraylon Braylon Edwards I was released today by the 49ers due to my injury that required more time to rehab and hasn’t allowed me to re-sync with the offense....

Matt39 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 Again, how many fumbles/drops did he have last year? 2 lost fumbles which is a lot for a WR. Drops I will have to look up. Edit 5 drops last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain_the_foe Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 2 lost fumbles which is a lot for a WR. Drops I will have to look up. So in 16 games including the playoffs he lost 2 fumbles and thats an "issue".... I'll wait for those drop numbers because so far it just seems like you're picking on Holmes right now because as of late he's exposed himself to criticism. However, to make it an "issue" is totally outrageous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brings us back to the point who is our deep threat. There is no deep threat on this team this season. Period. How do we know if Braylon would have suffered the same injury over here and would have been ineffective as a result. At the end of the day this team lost its deep threat and did not find a replacement who could stretch the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't go deep in part because the OL is giving him less time, but Sanchez rarely buys himself extra time plus he's still so inaccurate. Holmes can go deep with Plaxico in more of a possession role. The problem is Sanchez. The Jets figured the solution to minimizing his interceptions is don't let him throw it far. I think it's a stupid philosophy, as it only makes the offense even easier to defend, but Sanchez put them into this corner with his extensive limitations.

There is a difference between can go deep and being a legit deep threat. Really ? How many of Sanchez's interceptions have happened when throwing deep. The 35 to 40 plus yard throw variety ? Most of his interceptions are in the intermediate distance range. Its the lack of deep threat that puts the JETS offense into this corner That is right on the money. As noted in the past, not being able to stretch the field does shrink the turf the opposing defenses have to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain_the_foe Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 lol. Tanny was a winner just 3 weeks ago. I tell ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 I've always loved Tanny and I still do. This roster is loaded with talent. He can only give the coaches the players. He can't do everything. Now the drama queens will scream and shout about his draft "misses" but guess what? Welcome to NFL fandom. Every GM has hits and misses. That's life. Tanny has built the most successful Jets team I've seen in my 24 years as a fan. I'm not jumping ship on the guy now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
