Sperm Edwards Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Deserved. Meanwhile, Clyde Gates must a size 17. Has to be something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 New York Jets release WR Ben Obomanu October, 1, 2013 Oct 1 5:57 PM ET By Rich Cimini | ESPNNewYork.com The New York Jets' receiving corps is beginning to look like 2012, with injuries, additions and subtractions. On Tuesday, the Jets released veteran Ben Obomanu, who played 40 offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. Obomanu was thrust into a bigger role when Stephen Hill suffered a concussion on the second play of the game. Obomanu was targeted only once in the game, an 8-yard reception. Of greater note, he committed two of the team's 10 penalties (a third penalty was declined), earning a trip to the dog house and, ultimately, a pink slip. The Jets can use the open roster spot to sign free-agent receiver David Nelson. Neither Hill nor Santonio Holmes (hamstring) is expected to play next Monday night against the Falcons. In Holmes' case, he could miss a few weeks. On Tuesday, the Jets worked out free-agent WR Josh Cribbs, although he's considered a return specialist. Clyde Gates has been mediocre as a kickoff returner, and now his role will increase at receiver. That could explain the interest in Cribbs, who first visited the Jets in the offseason. At the time, he was battling back from knee surgery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro55 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 The guy does suck, but I don't get cutting the guy in a week where you have no WRs that will play. And bringing in a Cribbs or whomever on Weds or Thurs, guys who are more returners and injured, isn't really going to do much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 scrub status + 3 penalties = cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Lets hope Idzik believes in offense a bit more than our previous regimes. Sick of the constant influx of scrubs on offense. All the guys Sanchez played with have proven to be backups/scrubs or entirely out of football. I hope Geno gets a bit more. We better know the ins and outs of every pass catcher available in the 2014 draft. This is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We better know the ins and outs of every pass catcher available in the 2014 draft. This is ridiculous. It's ******* October. You are not geting anything but scrubs. This is the accountability for penalties. This guy was brutal and Ducasse got benched. Gates is the only return man they have, but could be in danger with Goodson coming and Cribbs coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 In an attempt to be somewhat optimistic, one positive that can be taken from this is at least Idzik doesn't seem to be one of those guys who gets so obsessed with "his guys". He's already shown no hesitation to send his own FA signings packing if need be (e.g., Peterman) as well as those guys he has a history with, like Obomanu who he brought over from Seattle. Now granted, it'd be ideal if these guys turned out good enough that they didn't need to be cut, but if this is the way they're playing, it's a lot better to have a GM willing to cut them than a guy like Tanny who would hold onto them for another 3 years just on general principle, regardless of how awful they may be.
