JetNation Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 The Jets had some time to spare today as they gave a try-out to and signed UDFA Kris O’Dowd from USC. O’Dowd tried out for the Cardnials last year and didn’t make the squad on the last day of cuts. Jets brought in Kris O'Dowd for a workout, source says. UDFA out of USC last yr, was in camp with Cards. #nyj — Jenny Vrentas (@JennyVrentas) March 13, 2012 O’Dowd is a Center who played for USC with Sanchez and also is on Twitter. It's Offical!

Sperm Edwards Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Finally something I can sink my teeth into! Just kidding. It's an OL camp/depth signing and we clearly need that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Yeah he coulda/woulda/shoulda been a big time C prospect but his body broke down in his senior year. Sanchez's C in college IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Finally something I can sink my teeth into! Just kidding. It's an OL camp/depth signing and we clearly need that. Exactly. One of the biggest problems we had last year was when Mangold went down and Turner was out. We need more decent dept on the line. I like that they are moving this way..... And I hope they make a big friggin move soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 He's listed as a RT? Right? He played center from what I heard but it says right tackle on the tweet. Not that I knew anything about him before that tweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Not only is Mark Sanchez a below average QB, he's also a really bad Assistant GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Right? He played center from what I heard but it says right tackle on the tweet. RT means Retweet. He's a center. I had him ranked fairly highly before the injuries. Actually could have been an elite prospect if stayed healthy. in other Jets news this probably means the end of Robert Turner's tenure.

Im completely unaware of tweet language. A far a Turner, if they let him go it would lead me to believe he's not healthy. It would be a shame. He was solid at all three interior line positions and had nasty streak in him that really helps to have on the o line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNJet Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 This is for when Rob Turner leaves or Ducasse's worthless butt is cut. O'Dowd can play C or G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was solid at all three interior line positions and had nasty streak in him that really helps to have on the o line. O'Dowd has that kind of upside at this point probably. He really could have stacked with guys like Mangold, Mack, and Konz as an elite C prospect had injuries not hit. If he's healthy his upside probably isn't as high as it once was, but he might make for a good rotational lineman. As far as nobody signings go this one could actually work out well. This guy was an extremely gifted player so even his whatever% his body's at could turn him into a good Turner replacement. Doesn't seem like the Jets are looking to excite anyone in any obvious (or overtly optimistic?) fashion so far this offseason. I like this much better than that swagger garbage.

Truth be told, I don't remember him, but I will take your word for it. You are much more aware of the collegiate level than I am. Either way, it's good to see the Jets working on one of the weaknesses from last season. O line depth. I could stand to see a little bit more though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJets Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 What kind of injuries did this guy have that affected him so much? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HessStation Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Good signing. He was destined for more. Started as a true freshman at USC, First Team All Pac as a sophomore, injury pre JR year set back his career. Anyway I'm sure some of this also has to do with a relationship with Sanchez. Good, he now has a big bodied buddy in the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 Funny how all LLC's are formed in Delaware. Depends. For publics yes. Lax corporate taxes and laws that favor boards and shareholders. Huge body of case-laws which helps cut down on legal costs for the bigger guys too. Privates usually head to Nevada or Wyoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
