Matt39 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Rex on Stephen Hill "Well, nothing told me he would (contribute)," Ryan told Don Banks of Sports Illustrated. "Nothing. When I saw the tape (of his collegiate play) I was concerned. But (Jets general manager) Mike Tannenbaum and (senior personnel executive) Terry Brady and all our scouts were adamant about this guy. They were adamant that this guy can do it. "He can run all these routes, he had good hands and he's got 4.2 speed at 6-foot-5. He was the guy they all wanted, but honestly, when it came down to it, a wideout? Not my dream pick. But now that we have him, of course, I want to claim him: 'Oh, that was my pick.' But it really wasn't." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LionelRichie Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Rex may not be an offensive guru but even he understands that "Ground and Pound" requires a RT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted September 2, 2012 Author Share Posted September 2, 2012 lol,why did that thread got locked? Weird. Its definitely worth noting. 3 years down the line and if Hill is catching 25 balls a season, Rex will have no problem saying I told you so.

It got locked because the OP was either trolling or is an illiterate hill person. I'll be happy if the team gets anything out of Hill this year. The best case scenario is him stretching the defense the way Braylon did in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Hill will be one of the real interesting stories of this season. I think relying on him to contribute right away is a mistake and is more the product of mismanaging the position for three years. But, if Hill figures it out by the end of this year, it could look like a good pick down the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackDynamite Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 I love the Stephen Hill pick. If it's not a defensive player or a RB, Rex isn't interested Hopefully they will throw to him some, and give him a chance to grow..... BD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJoe12 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Although not nearly as polished as Torrey Smith coming out of college, I'm hoping that Hill can add that deep threat to the team and have a similar type of rookie impact.

SenorGato Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Hill was almost as good a pick as Coples as far as draft day hype is concerned. Say the Pats, Packers, Steelers, Giants, or 49ers (the new it team it seems) land even one of these guys and we'd hear about how they're machines who just know how to operate on a winning level.

Larz Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 how does the ground and pound work against 8 man fronts rex ? wouldn't you love to defend an offense with no deep threat ? wtf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I can see how the table is being set here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their GM didn't get out of Chad Pennington East what the 49ers got out of Chad Pennington West? Jets missed their chance at Evander Hood? Dont have a town built around them and cheese? WHY T0M?
