JetNation Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Today the Jets have unveiled their first depth chart of the season a few days before their game with the Cincinnati Bengals. Nothing surprising other than the 3rd safety position being added to the chart. Nick Folk is winning the kicking competition so far.

KSJets Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 I wouldn't pay too much attention to this. We all know Demario Davis isn't going to be that far down on the depth chart. It's an unofficial, official depth chart. After the starters, everything is pretty much up in the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 it's a huge sign of respect that eric smith is a 1st team safety. the Jets really do consider him a starter it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way will he be buried on the depth chart when the games start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 If you really look at this, it's pretty clear it's designed to give absolutely no information whatsoever on camp battles, etc. Across the board, every single returning starter from last year / free agent starter signing is listed at the top of the depth chart, with all of the rookies and low level FAs buried beneath them. The only real exception to that rule would be Hill at #2 WR, but even then that has more to do with the fact that there's nobody else they have any particular reason to fill in there. When you consider things like Coples being listed as a backup and listing 3 starting safeties (as all 3 qualify as returning starters or FA's signed to start), it tells you how little this all means.

gangreenman Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 So DeVito over Coples and apparently we're gonna start the season off with a 15 yd penalty for too many players on the field on D. We have to be the only team in the league with 12 listed starters, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsFanInDenver Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 So our offensive line is so good we do not have any others behind the Top 3 at each position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I where an opposing coach I'd rather play us with 12 men on the field if one of them is Eric Smith then 11 without him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Jets need Maybin to take Pace's starting spot so Pace can take Thomas' spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I thought Austin Howard was kinda pushing Wayne Hunter....but he's listed third string? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really think we should have a 2nd FB, but if we do I'd rather go blocker than draft pick. Remember when Caulcrick was going to be a FB?

RutgersJetFan Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Meh, base formation. We only ran 3-down about 50% the time the past few years, that's probably going to decrease starting this year. Coples really doesn't have any business being in there over DeVito in that instance anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're so deep this year on the line that we're better off using the 12th spot for an extra defensive lineman. Like a 4-4-2-2. Could work. That would be a huge sign of respect to Eric Smith too. Like, he's so good that it takes a full extra player on the field to make up for what he brings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 It would seem Matt Slauson fended off Vlad Ducasse in an epic battle of heavyweight talent. You go, Mr. Slauson. Better luck next year, Mr. Ducasse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 the Jets didn't release it this way by accident. You're right, they quite intentionally released it so that every single starter from last year was listed as a starter at the beginning of the preseason. There's little more to take from it than that. After all, I have to imagine this depth chart hasn't drastically changed your view on the Slauson / Ducasse situation, has it?

RutgersJetFan Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Not impressed by back up right guards? Unless Sanchez becomes a football player, subtracting Mangold out of that chart legitimately terrifies me. When your season rests on your center staying healthy, that's bad. Very, very bad.

The Giants surrendered considerably more pressure than we did last year, but Eli's awesome, so they won the Super Bowl. Meanwhile we're stuck with a guy who wets his pants whenver anyone's within a yard of him, so we're forced to keep the OL constantly stocked with All-Pros or face 8-8 every year.

Meanwhile we're stuck with a guy who wets his pants whenver anyone's within a yard of him, so we're forced to keep the OL constantly stocked with All-Pros or face 8-8 every year. \ Eli wasnt always awesome. He's had a couple of 8-8 seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
