LAD_Brooklyn Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Breno Giacomini won a Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks in February on the field the New York Jets call home. Now the Jets are trying to make sure Giacomini plays there more often. According to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com, the Jets are making a “strong push” to sign Giacomini, who is set to visit the team on Wednesday. Giacomini would likely be the Jets’ replacement at right tackle for Austin Howard, who agreed to a deal with the Oakland Raiders. Giacomini, when healthy, was perhaps Seattle’s most consistent offensive lineman in 2013. Giacomini started just nine games for Seattle during the regular season that required surgery in September. He returned to the lineup for the final six games of the regular season and helped to solidify an offensive line that had struggled immensely at times with Giacomini and Russell Okung, who missed eight games, on the sidelines. Giacomini has appeared to have overcome penalty issues that were problematic for Seattle in 2012. He had 12 penalties that season – the most on the team – and picked up three unnecessary roughness penalties in two games. Giacomini has started 33 games for Seattle over the past three seasons after being signed off Green Bay’s practice squad in 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexiRoll6 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Someone let me know when the Jets are making a soft push for a player. Thanks! Seems that's all they know HOW to do. Letting Howard go will come back to haunt Idzik and the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm under the assumption they'll address the position making losing a JAG in Howard a non-issue. Raiders wayyyyyyy overpaid. It that was his market, good riddance. He's not that great and its not a tough position to fill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 did some more research into this player he had a rough year last year, had to get knee surgery mid year. It effected his play. He missed games and when he came back, wasn't full go. gave up 4 sacks and multiple pressures over 9 games or so (howard gave up 2 sacks over 16 games and only missed 2 snaps all year). However injury aside, he's a converted TE like Howard, he's tall and long like Howard. He's a year older but actually performed better than Howard in pro-day/combine drills, back in the day. Like many Idzik signings this players current price is artificially low because of the injury. "If Healthy" he could actually be an upgrade or at worst a wash. The question is his health. And that's why the Seahawks are moving on, and why he isn't signed already. and a fun fact he's from Brazilian ancestry not Italian. Both of his parents are Brazilians.
