BlakeSpenceBlockedPunt Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 We've heard Idzik say it a million times. He wants there to be competition at camp. I think this approach has worked great thus far. He brought in Jason Babin. All of a sudden Coples is having a strong camp. He brought in a new group of WR's. Hill is improving. He brought in an accomplished backup QB. Geno has looked the part. He drafts Pryor. Landry having a strong camp. He drafts Dozier/Oboushy. Now Winters is being pushed. The mere fact that there is a competent replacement behind some of these guys seems to be having a positive impact and I'm thrilled. Sometimes it takes someone else being a viable replacement to get the most out of players. In two drafts/free agency periods Idzik has reshaped our approach to team building. I like it a lot.

It's a collaboration, always has been between a good Gm and coach. maybe we finally have a Good GM who knows what talent matches his coaches skillset/temperment. Come on Tom, find a new schtick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post. Dont let the haters derail it. You're right. Idzik finally has created depth and a true competitive nature in camp. You're starting to see some of the young players truly step up and be the leaders of the team. Then you bring a guy like Decker, a true professional and a talented RB with a chip on his shoulder and the culture is starting form. Still think they're probably another offseason of additions before we can start really challenging the Pats, but they're getting closer and closer. And if Geno makes a big leap, than we're even closer than I thought. Love the Idzik, Rex, Marty, Thurman mix at the helm. Feel like we're finally in great hands and they sky is the limit.

Depth is key. No team is going to avoid the injury bug totally. You need to have as little drop off as possible when exchanging players and you also need stability on both sides of the ball. You can only get that with this type of competition. Look how many strong CB's seattle has produced. Browner, Thurmond, sherman, Maxwell etc. And this is just in a span of 3 years. All these guys got playing time. All were competitive but most of all supported one another. I think this is what John Idzik is trying to bring to the group. Players will push one another to excellence but will support because at the end of the day its about winning, not who's the starter. This is why Idzik kept all these picks. Its hard pushing certain philosophy's to veterans generally. You bring them in as rookies, unrestricted rookie free agents etc. and you mold them into a successful team. John Idzik is going to make a winner, and I hope its before Brady retires. I'd love to return the favor for a year or two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Idzik is going to make a winner, and I hope its before Brady retires. I'd love to return the favor for a year or two! Me too because Brady said the other day he wants to play for 7 more years. lulza. No doubt it would be sweet to see the tide turn while he's still around...though the Jets pretty much shut him down last year... These guys are all on the same page. It's fun watching the finger pointers trying to pretend they're not. It sure looks it. I definitely feel as though Idzik and Rex share a similar vision when it comes to the type of team they're looking to build. Marty is a nice compliment because he's a west coast guy who will run the ball. I'm really looking forward to see how he uses Johnson and Powell out of the back field. From what I remember of Thurman on Hard Knocks, he seems like a hard-nose no b.s. kind of guy, which would be a nice compliment as well. Sprinkle that with some leaders stepping up on the team, I truly feel they're headed in the right direction. Still thinks its going to take another offseason and some serious improvement from the QB, but I think this team is getting pretty damn close to truly competing again. I'm excited.

Earning it....will serve the player and the team so much better in the long run. The safey position is going to be interesting. Pryor, Allen and Jarrett are all young and seem to have potential. Rex has been glowing about how improved Allen is this camp compared to last, which if that translates on the field could be huge. He played well last year. Then you have Landry, the seasoned vet who probably knows the system and the calls better than anyone other player in the secondary. It will be intersting to see how they're deployed. You got to think they're all locks to make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derp Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Depth has definitely improved a bunch. The Jets are going to have to cut some halfway decent players when they work down to 53 for the first time in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorge o8 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 the last 2 drafts have been about depth aside from maybe the 1st RND, watch next year we are going to make moves, time to go get that game changer, love this GM and his game plan time guys just a bit more time. go jets, PATS SUCK!!!!
