JetsFanInDenver Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 He had more sacks in 1 year than Maybin has had in his career. He has actually played as a regular LB without getting steamrolled and he weighs more than 225 lbs. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 i like this player but his signing is not enough to preclude OLB at 9. The Jets have Garrett McIntyre and Antwan Barnes starting... not even close to enough. It might be enough in this rebuild year .. I dont see Idzik going nuts in 2013. I think W/L record a distant priority to down the road health and consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Jones is there at 9, and checks out physically, he's my guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I've been hearing NFL can't verify Ezekiel Ansah age, there's a rumour that he's 28 and not 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, but while some fans may wish it, the truth is Idzik isn't even trying to preclude anything, rather he's simply trying to make sure he isn't forced into anything either. McIntyre and Barnes is far from ideal as their starters, but before that it was McIntyre and absolutely nobody, which is quite a bit worse. Idzik wants to give himself as much freedom as possible to go BPA, whatever position he may play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 I know he's a favorite sleeper on the internet but what's the difference between Butler and Barnes? Not even saying to not sign Butler, just curious. They seem like very similar players - mediocre against the run but capable of being interesting pass rushers. Butler's bigger, which is a major advantage. I don't know who Barnes is to tell you the difference between the two but could tell you about Butler if that helps? I can tell you Butler is reliable dropping back into coverage and could be use in a Bart Scott role like Ryan did with him in Dallas, which was play him at ILB in blitz packages.

TnT Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Solid signing in my book... Even if he starts this year and isnt top notch, when we have cap space next year, he is a solid back up for the next two years....how you build a solid squad front to back...ok with Idzik, so far.

pedro55 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 When Joe Klecko retired and went to the Steelers as an DL cosultant, I think it was Joe Greene said “I don’t need anyone to show me how to jump off sides” If a guy has a tendency to jump offsides, it is far off set, as long as he gets to the QB. My problem with Barnes is, he only did it one season He only did it in a few games that season too. He had like 4 sacks one game against the Ravens.. Kind of revenge I guess. Other than that he's a situational pass rusher and coming off an injury. Are the only cheap guys available the ones who missed practically a season?

Was just going to post this. He's signed some injury riddled players so far, one's I dont expect much out of...but at least the contracts are disposable. I dont expect us singing the praises of any of the recent signings. Maybe Garay because he's just a monster, but with the right draft to compliment these guys, they could be decent depth signings while building a future roster.
