Dee Milliner AFC defensive player of the week

This is great news!  Geno and Milliner both have reasons to feel good as they head into the offseason.  Same for Brian Winters, he had such a rough time early on but he improved as well.

 

The Jets are going to need all 3 of them to start next year (most likely for Geno).

I would love to see how Winters measured out the last 4 games, and even more in a separate evaluation the last 2 games (Jets gave up zero sacks the last 2 games).

I also feel this could end up being one of our best drafts ever, if Geno turns out to be a solid starting QB, and Milliner continues to get better. A lot of people were killing this draft, and I get it a little we came away with nothing in terms of immediate depth, and special teams talent, but if you have 5 good draft picks in any give year that's a good draft, and you shouldn't get killed because your 5 good picks just happened to be starters who don't play special teams, this is where I think some of the criticism comes from for this year, and who knows what the 2 project OL guys turn into, how long did it take Brandon Moore to become a starter after making the switch from DL? Nobody will complain 4 years from know if Cambell (I think that's the kid from Michigan name) is starting.

If Ed Reed can have that kind of impact on a young player not only do you keep him for next year to have that HOF presence but you sign the guy as your secondary coach as soon as he retires

100% agree, but if some other team is willing to give him a multi year guarantee we should probably walk away. 1 year at a reasonable price, somewhere around 3 million I think is fair, and throw in some incentives that could make it more, but tough incentives not just playing time, actual production like INT's, All Pro, Playoffs, and such.

And if he is retiring Rex should offer him a spot on his staff, don't think he would take it thou, at least not year 1, maybe 2-3 years down the road thou.

Top NFL Rookie of Week 17: New York Jets CB Dee Milliner

Each Tuesday of the NFL season NFLDraftScout.com Senior Analyst Rob Rang will identify his Rookie of the Week. To qualify, the first-year professional player must have played a significant role in a competitive NFL game, demonstrating not just flashes of talent but the potential to emerge as a legitimate long-term standout. The player's draft status -- whether as a former first round pick or undrafted free agent -- does not apply.

 

Top NFL Rookie of Week 17: New York Jets CB Dee Milliner

While Jets' defensive lineman Sheldon Richardson emerged as the favorite to win the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year and quarterback Geno Smith flashed brilliance in surprising wins over the Patriots and Saints (among others), 2013 was largely a season to forget for Milliner, the New York's first pick of last April's draft.

 

Milliner struggled for much of his rookie campaign, missing time due to a contract holdout and various nagging injuries and getting benched by Rex Ryan three times over the first two months of the season.

 

Against the Dolphins in Week 17, however, Milliner showed off the form that earned him the top spot on NFLDraftScout.com's cornerback rankings in 2013 and the No. 9 overall selection in the draft.

 

Lining opposite Miami's speedy free agent addition Mike Wallace, Milliner collected two interceptions, broke up two other passes and helped the Jets beat the Dolphins 20-7 in Sun Life Stadium. The loss knocked the Dolphins out of playoff contention.

In fairness, it wasn't all rosy for Milliner on the day. Miami's lone score on the afternoon was a Wallace touchdown against the rookie, who incorrectly guessed on that the Dolphins' wideout would turn in for a quick comeback or slant on a 4th and 3 from Miami's five-yard line. Instead, Wallace zipped past Milliner, hauling in a nice touch pass from Ryan Tannehillto give the Dolphins a 7-0 lead early in the second quarter.

 

Wallace was targeted 12 times in this game, however, including two other times in the end zone but finished with just five catches for 25 yards and the one score. Wallace became an even more critical part of Miami's game plan with steady possession receiver Brian Hartlinesuffering a knee injury in the first quarter. Behind a 16 target, seven-catch performance against the Baltimore Ravens October 6, Sunday's game included the second most targets Wallace had seen all year long.

 

Milliner showed excellent route-recognition on his first interception of the game, breaking back in front of Wallace to snatch a well-thrown pass from Tannehill to abruptly end a promising Dolphins' drive early in the third quarter. Milliner, while surprisingly fluid given his well-built 6-foot, 201-pound frame, does not possess Wallace's straight-line speed. The interception was the more impressive considering that the rookie was locked up in man to man coverage.

 

The same ability to break back toward the ball was demonstrated on Milliner's second pick of the day, which came with 1:30 remaining in the game. The interception sealed the Jets victory. Just as importantly, it gave Milliner, Rex Ryan and the Jets the strong finish each needed to end the 2013 on a positive note.

Winter's grades for the last 2 games will certainly be the best grades he received all year.  Hopefully the trend is an indication of something bigger, that he got better as he has more experience at Guard.

 

Bitonti mentioned he couldn't bench at the combine because of an injury.  I think a full offseason in the weight room couldn't hurt either.

They weren't great picks, but Rex developed the sh*t out of them.

He did look better in December - but had no where to go but up. 1 thing is pretty certain, he's not a Kyle Wilson style bust. Hope the kid keeps coming around and if Ed Reed is fostering that - keep it happening.

Im going to give Milliner a pass on that TD to Wallace. Putting him out there with Wallaces quickness was a really bad move for any Cornerback he should have had someone on the inside to help you can't expect a corner to make a play in that situation giving the receiver 2 options with no help. One step to the outside turns the corners hips and its over in tight quarters inside the 5

 

I was impressed the way he played the last few games ...it seems he has learned to turn his freakin head and play the ball when needed something Kyle Wilson still can't do or refuses to do.

Not even I understand your M.O. anymore.  And we used to be on the same cycle.

 

The good thing is that it's pretty much lost all power. The Jets finally grew a pair as a franchise. Now all that needs to happen is the Cubs sign Tanaka. With that I will be pretty on board with my football and baseball teams' current states.

Not saying much but Kyle Wilson was the best CB on the Jets this year

Even if this were a true statement  ... it's not saying anything positive.

 

Actually, by definition that statement absolutely is positive.  Granted, it doesn't make him anything spectacular, but he is a solid player.  Some people are still apparently jaded that he didn't live up to the hype from when he was drafted and certainly had a rough start.  The truth is he did a respectable job as the Jets #2 in 2012 (particularly in the second half of the year) and overall is a solid nickel.  Perhaps a disappointment compared to what he was originally hoped to be, but that by no measure makes him as a bust.  If you want to qualify a bust, just consider that there are multiple guys drafted near him that are already completely out of the league and more still off their original teams; those are busts.
