Floyd is a beast and the Jets should seriously consider him or one of the OLB prospects in Round 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharrow Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 People can get away with calling themselves "Chaz" without being ridiculed? When did this happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Dierking Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Reading this Raider Forum http://www.raiderfan...ilens-jets.html Supposedly he was a cancer to the locker room, not very impressive on the field, and earned the nickname "Glass" from Raiders fans for his inability to stay healthy. Yeah, but know this-When the Raiders sign former Jets, they will be coming to this site and quoting Tom Shane. Think of the possibilities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Jets add WR Schilens from Raiders March, 16, 2012 Mar 16 4:26 PM ET Email Print Comments3 By Rich Cimini Looking to add size and speed to their receiving corps, the New York Jets agreed to terms Friday with former Oakland Raiders wideout Chaz Schilens. Terms weren’t immediately available. The 6-foot-4, 225-pound Schilens, along with Drew Stanton, became the Jets’ first free-agent acquisitions. He also drew interest from the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. Despite only 72 receptions in four seasons, Schilens will get a chance to compete for Plaxico Burress’ old starting job. The 6-foot-5 Burress, who tied for the team leader with eight touchdown catches last season, is a free agent and unlikely to return. The Jets’ receiving corps, which has undergone considerable upheaval in recent years, includes Santonio Holmes, slot receiver Jeremy Kerley and backup Patrick Turner. They entered free agency looking for a complement to Holmes, preferably a big target with deep speed -- and Schilens has those attributes. He entered the league with sub-4.4 speed in the 40. They’re also showing interest in former Jet Jerricho Cotchery, who was released last year (at his request) but told ESPNNewYork.com that he’d entertain an offer to return. Schilens will be reunited with his former position coach in Oakland, Sanjay Lal, hired recently as the Jets’ receivers coach. The Jets didn’t get involved with any of the high-priced free agents such as Vincent Jackson and Robert Meacham, opting to go cheap at their No. 2 receiving spot. They did so knowing there’s a chance they could use a high draft pick on a receiver. Schilens, a seventh-round pick of the Raiders in 2008, won a starting job midway through his rookie year, but he couldn’t stay healthy. He missed 19 games in 2009 and 2010 because of injuries, including a broken foot. “He has tools, just injury and durability concerns,” said an AFC personnel executive, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Because of his size, Schilens should be able to help in the red zone. The Raiders didn’t use him that much inside the 20, but he capitalized on his limited opportunities. He was targeted four times, resulting in four receptions for 49 yards and two touchdowns, according to ESPN Stats & Information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 With our cap room Schilens is a perfect signing. Highly doubt he cost much. He has skills, just needs to stay on field. as others have posted, not that he will stop us from upgrading at WR but we don't have to jump at one that isn't good value. I see 4 WR's on roster now with Holmes, Turner, Kerley and Schilens. Still have a 5th spot for a draft pick. I would stay arway from a vet and get a young guy to grow with Sanchez. If the Jets are truely going to run a Ground and Pound O this year, and I think they are, they might very likely only carry 4 WR's on roster, with two on the PS. More then likely late round picks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More then likely late round picks Thats an even better reason to not put a lot of money in WR's. Schilens and even Eron Riley being on the field at least represent someone who can get deep and hopefully keep a safety or two back. Don't get me wrong Edwards is the perfect WR for this system, being able to block and get deep, but with his knee I wouldn't trust it anymore. Turner can block just as good and maybe get deep. I would rather have that at 1/4 the cost and spend the money elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I like it. But I agree that they can't be counting on him to start. If healthy, though, he's a nice piece. Turner's spot is in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New York Mick Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 For 500/750 k I don't mind signing him. When he's healthy he's good and being the 3rd or 4th WR he won't get as much work. He should be kept out of ST and just used as a deep threat and redone target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrellegivesmeaboner#24 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 He is decent health insurance for us. I can't imagine we will be using him on offense very much since Sparano isn't going to run many 4-5 WR sets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 For some reason the JETS are thinking along the lines of a ground and pound heavily. So they think they can get away with the Chaz's and Turner's of this world on the field. I would not be surprised if instead of drafting a WR in the first 3 rounds the JETS choose a tandem of running backs and add a blocking TE that can block somewhere in the 4th or 5th rounds!

I want them to draft someone in the first 3 rounds so that we hopefully can keep them here for a while.

JustInFudge Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Blah, but thats what this offseason has been which is fine. Still gives us flexibility with all the other signings as well. If we sign Reggie Nelson, we could go BAP in Rd 1...though I'd still prefer an OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
