joewilly12 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 According to the New York Daily News, the Jets will sign TE Brandon Pettigrew shortly. It's an upgrade on Zach Sudfeld and Jeff Cumberland, but it's far from a difference-making acquisition. Pettigrew is a plodding, catch-and-fall guy in the passing game that has averaged 9.95 yards per reception in his five-year career. He's also been a liability when blocking in the run game. Pettigrew will barely be on the TE2 radar with Geno Smith and the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I understand that he is a pretty good blocker, but a so so receiver I'm sure he's no worse of a blocker than we've had at TE in years. Becht is probably the last TE we had that was a decent blocker. Unfortunately he caught as well as someone born with no fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yeah baby! That's what I'm talkin about! Tight end is no longer a need in the draft, just a luxury if we want to go that way. Now go do the same for corner and receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Like it. He's nothing spectacular, but the Jets have had absolutely nothing at TE the past couple of years (perhaps longer depending on your opinions of Keller), and he certainly is a quality option. I don't expect to see either one of Pettigrew or Cumberland being locked in as the unquestioned every down starter, but a couple of guys with different strengths and skill sets who can (hopefully) compliment each other nicely. Not only that, but the Jets can actually do something so crazy as have both on the field at the same time and reasonably running multi-TE sets.

slats Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I liked him when he came out, but he's had a very meh pro career. I'm hoping this is a small money signing. Cumberland should get passing downs over this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately he caught as well as someone born with no fingers. I think Baker eventually got his sh*t together in that area, but that is basically the highlight of the Jets TE position, a guy who was decidedly mediocre at every skill of the TE position, and slow as sh*t to boot. Neither Keller nor Cumberland could block a damn thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I really wanted this one. Fits the team's style - he's jumbo sized, athletic, has upside for the passing game, and brings a base skill considered less useful for some than others - he can block well. Good job Idzik. I'm guessing Tuesday afternoon was spent tweaking and perfecting his steely glare, necessary for the long months ahead. I see this signing as similar to the Bennett signing the Giants made a couple of years ago that worked out well, but he's a little better than Bennett.

Greenseed4 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 A double TE set with Cumby, Petigrew and Decker bodes well for a run first team. We just need a pass catching back and were set. This will be a chain moving offense. Slow, methodical. I love it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
