Maxman Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 A $2.5 million dollar jumbo TE? Nice, Tannenbaum. It is crazy that he wasn't waived. Just crazy. We wrote this in January which gives a short overview of his contract: http://www.jetnation.com/2012/01/02/why-wayne-hunter-should-be-cut-soon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 In all fairness to Tanny he was focused on getting us a backup QB that is the talk of the media! I am stealing that one! Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 They really need to start a sweepstakes where the winner gets to be in the room when Tannenbaum has to tell Woody that they're benching Sanchez. Make it like Willy Wonka, but hide the golden ticket in a twelve pack of Miller Lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoping4ASuperBowl Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Rotoworld: The Jets recently worked out free agent OT Marcus McNeill, according to ESPN New York. It's not clear if "recently" means before or after McNeill announced his retirement two weeks ago. It's quite possible that the workout convinced McNeill he was done. ESPN's John Clayton hinted that the Jets could be interested in trading for Colts RT Winston Justice, though he seemed to be just thinking out loud on that one. We don't see the Colts weakening their offensive line for Andrew Luck's debut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Howard was not bad vs. the Bengals. Not click your heels he's good either, but significantly better than Hunter vs. the Giants. Didn't re-watch the Giants game yet, but I assume Howard got mauled there like everybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayNoToDMC Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well I for one think it's fantastic that we named him the starter over the winter, that we didn't sign or draft anyone to account for the possibility of him playing like he did last year, and that we're now being stranded 2 weeks before the season starts with Austin ****ing Howard at RT. But HEY, what do I know? 2 AFCC losses and learning from your mistakes (Adrien Clarke) FTW. Best GM ever!

JustInFudge Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Austin Howard was a 2 time second team all Missouri Valley Football Conference stud in college He was 2 sport athlete too. Hoops and Football. Started his career as a TE, even caught a TD. Converted to RT, won a weekly award for dominating Missouri State. And his brothers played at Iowa State. I read this all in wiki. Quite an athlete. Basically, what I'm saying is, offensive problems solved. We found our RT, blocking TE, and Red Zone target. Mikey T.

I'd give him a B or B-. Sacks came on Heyer and blitz pickup by the backs. The 3rd team was obliterated. There was one where the left side (Howard started @RT and moved to LT with the 2nd team) didn't move when the Cincy DE dropped and they sent unbalanced pressure at the right side, but he wasn't overpowered or beaten one-on-one.

BurnleyJet Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 I can't wait for the cut's to start, Tanny will be rummaging through the trash faster then a pack of woman on sales day at Macy's. Surely even the cuts can't be worse then Hunter. I actually feel sorry for him, although I'm glad that the Jets have finally seen the light after being savaged by the media for the last 5 days. If only Tanny has an account on here, he could read the wisdom of tOmshane... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Lol McNeil and Justice are guys they missed when passing up Jay Cutler or Matt Leinart for D'Brick. Dang that Tannenbaum! All he did was make the pass defense more talent and get a size/speed WR for Numbnuts and the altar boy to chuck it up to in the PI loving NFL. Oh woooooeeee! Wooooooeeeeee is I! Woooeeeee is us! There is no right tackles here! However will they overcome a key spot like that! A chain is only as strong as its weakest link! The Giants' offense was only Kareem McKenZie good last year!

It all comes back to Sanchez. Even if we did go after Winston or somebody like that as people have suggested, the improvement wouldn't be worth the cost because Sanchez still holds the ball too long and can't keep defenses from stacking the box. You're spending an extra three million dollars for maybe a million dollars of performance. Not only is the offense bad, it may actually be maxed out at bad because as long as Consuela is around there are prohibitively diminishing returns on attempts to improve by addressing other areas.

While I understand what you're saying, as long as the money doesn't impact the cap beyond this season or prevent them from signing a capable cover safety (should one become available), I couldn't care less about Woody Johnson wasting money on a RT whose presence will likely produce a negligible improvement in offensive performance. ETA: I obviously wouldn't want to part with anything more than a late-round pick to trade for someone either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionelRichie Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 the big mistake wasn't passing on Justice, it was passing on a RT in the draft. The Jets had a shot at starting caliber players in Rd 2 and they passed. I hope Hill turns out to be a stud because this season is probably shot because of a failure to address the most glaring need on the team during the draft and free agency.

Let me update that to a C+ or B-. The straight B was from watching a guy I expected nothing of in his first start. Even worse, I had figured he'd been battered when I watched the game at the bar.
