flgreen Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Mike Goodson to Active Roster, Ricky Sapp and Ryan Spadola Cut Share on Fancred BY ALAN SCHECHTER - OCT 5TH, 2013 AT 2:06 PM PREVIOUS Just a little bit of roster housekeeping as the Jets prepare for Monday night in Atlanta. The team has officially placed Mike Goodson on the active roster. For anyone that didn’t realize, Mike is back after serving his suspension for the first four games of the 2013 season. We will see how much he plays, as the team evaluates his “football shape”, but he is officially on the roster. Michael Campbell has been activated from the practice squad as well. To make room, Ryan Spadola and Ricky Sapp have been released. Sapp is no surprise, as at no point has he ever fulfilled the promise he has shown in the preseason. He shows pass rushing speed in August, but it never manifests during the regular season. Ryan Spadola was a bit surprising. Though, his production did level off once the season began, and he hasn’t been seeing the field much. People do think that if he goes unclaimed, the Jets will bring him back to the practice squad. The only question is, why not Clyde Gates? Why is he still here? We can only wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinlawyer Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Clyde gates sucks...his best asset is his speed. He reminds me a lot of David clowney...get rid of gates and bring back spadola. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 Good question at the end of the article. Why Spadola over Gates? Speed is cool and all, but you also have to be a football player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Who wants to bet me that Gates ends up with more career NFL catches than Spadola? Gates traps a low pass in the rain and is lambasted. Spadola lets a chest high ball bounce off his forearm and he is the future! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted October 5, 2013 Author Share Posted October 5, 2013 NEW YORK JETS Jets activate Goodson, cut Spadola October, 5, 2013 OCT 5 2:20 PM ET By Rich Cimini | ESPNNewYork.com The Jets made four moves Saturday to set their roster before heading to Atlanta for a Monday night game against the Falcons. Running back Mike Goodson, coming off a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance abuse policy, was added to the 53-man roster -- a confirmation that he will suit up for the game. There was some doubt Friday, when he missed some practice with a tight hamstring. The Jets also added WR Michael Campbell, previously on the practice squad. To make room for Campbell and Goodson, the Jets released rookie WR Ryan Spadola and LB Ricky Sapp. The Spadola move came as a surprise. The Jets are taking a calculated risk by putting him on waivers for 24 hours, as they'd like to bring him back if he clears waivers. Spadola, an undrafted free agent from Lehigh, made the team after an impressive preseason. The Jets are down to four healthy-for-sure receivers -- Jeremy Kerley, Clyde Gates, David Nelson (signed Tuesday) and Campbell. Santonio Holmes (hamstring) hasn't been officially ruled out, but he won't play. The big question surrounds Stephen Hill (concussion), who practice on a limited basis Friday in a red, non-contact jersey, as required by league rules. The team has yet to release its final injury report. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Spadola was a good story, but as an UDFA he absolutely killed his chances of staying with the team when he dropped that ball in the Pats game. Yes, it was raining but he hadnt earned the benefit of the doubt. Its sad, but thats the harsh reality of the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Today the New York Jets made some surprising moves. As expected running back Mike Goodson was placed on the active roster now that he is back from a four week suspension. Wide receiver Michael Campbell was activated from the practice squad as well. The move that may have surprised some Jets fans though was the release of linebacker Ricky Sapp and wide receiver Ryan Spadola, both players were waived to make room for the additions. Wow. Mike Goodson and WR Michael Campbell to the active roster. Ricky Sapp and Ryan Spadola released. #NYJ — Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) October 5, 2013 Linebacker Ricky Sapp, with the Jets since 2011, has had some setbacks with injuries throughout his NFL career. In his time with the Jets Sapp was not able to record a sack but was credited with one tackle. Receiver Ryan Spadola was cut from the team even though he showed promise in camp and the preseason. A New Jersey native Spadola was originally brought in as an undrafted free agent (UDFA) from Lehigh and was impressing the coaches. Unfortunately he was not able to get enough playing time with the Jets in the regular season and the team looked at Campbell as a better option. Don’t be surprised to see Spadola signed to Jets practice squad if he is not acquired off waivers.

Sperm Edwards Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 they didn't cut spadola over one dropped pass. you know they do watch this kid in practice also right? Was about to write this. He must be stinking up the joint in practice and/or doesn't know the plays and/or plays like he doesn't know the plays. My money is on dropping passes. Or fumbling ones he is catching.

On the flip-side, this speaks volumes about the coaching staff's opinion of preseason (well, week 4) superstar, Michael Campbell. Typical JN though, focusing on the negative. Campbell's a beast. Spread the news. Someone start a thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Was about to write this. He must be stinking up the joint in practice and/or doesn't know the plays and/or plays like he doesn't know the plays. My money is on dropping passes. Or fumbling ones he is catching. The fact that they replaced him with another WR, one who was on the PS on top of that, should tell you that the Jets have been happier with what they've seen out of Campbell than Spadola in those very same practices. Not to mention, Spadola has been out there for 4 weeks now and done absolutely nothing. Don't get me wrong, I liked what we saw out of the guy during preseason, but in the end that counts for only so much. This fan base takes that sh*t waaaaay too seriously. There are a countless number of guys who look all-world in preseason and never do a damn thing in their NFL careers, Jets fans should know that as well as anyone. Who knows, it could also be something as simple as the Jets feeling Campbell is the one who is more ready to go out there and contribute right now, which with the health concerns at WR, becomes an even greater priority over long-term potential than it might otherwise be.

#27TheDominator Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Campbell was around for a year or two. Some of the coaches are probably pretty familiar with him. I think Spadola was a project. They need production at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redman81 Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 Who wants to bet me that Gates ends up with more career NFL catches than Spadola? Gates traps a low pass in the rain and is lambasted. Spadola lets a chest high ball bounce off his forearm and he is the future! So Gates drops multiple passes over his few games and Spadola has one ball knocked away by a defender and that makes Gates better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kay_gee Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 I really liked Spadola. Thought he had a lot of potential (and Rex agreed). What happened? Patsies will get him and he'll score against us! Rex talks up all the players no matter who they are. He doesn't do much criticizing publicly. Someone could come out on the field and take a literal sh*t and Ryan would talk about how good they are. I agree with Sperm that this guy probably was doing something in practice that made him expendable. There's a reason that in our very limited receiving corps, he barely got a chance and then got cut.
