Jets Release CB LeQuan Lewis and Sign CB DaShaun Phillips To The Practice Squad

[jetsrule128]

Cowboys put him on IR August 7th for undisclosed reasons

 

Analysis

Strengths Quick-footed and explosive changing direction. Smooth hips, feet and transition. Shadows his man and allows little separation in man coverage. Willing in run support. Plays with emotion and has a chip on his shoulder. Confident and competitive. Good hands and body control (12 career interceptions). Recorded a 39-inch vertical jump, a 6.65-second three-cone time and 3.97-second 20-yard shuttle at his pro day, indicating exceptional lateral agility and lower-body explosion. Tough and will play through injuries as he did playing through a left foot injury as a junior. Four-year starter. Solid football character.

Weaknesses Is thinly built and struggles to shed blockers to support the run. Can be late to see plays developing and get out of position sorting out routes and trying to do too much in zone coverage. Diminished ball production (only two interceptions the last two years). Regularly matched up against inferior Division II competition.

Draft Projection Round 7-Priority free agent

Bottom Line Raw, lean man cover corner with the quickness and explosive burst to warrant a look as a No. 4 or No. 5 cornerback. Was regularly assigned to the opponent's top receiver and did not have as many opportunities the last two seasons, when his interception production diminished.

It's been musical chairs with these corners.

Who cares. These bottom of the barrel moves of shuffling pawns means nothing. We are getting our teeth kicked in and we are worried about some nobody who will be sitting next to Clyde Gates this time next year.

Just keep bringing them in until you hit on one.

If only we had done this after Oakland we'd be 5-0. Oh well.

Not that it means much, but the guy's description sounds like he would be a good fit here. We don't care much if he struggles in zone.  The guy was a priority UDFA and got hurt.  Can't expect anything out of him coming from such a small school, but these guys have been seeing the field for the Jets - Lankster, Adams, Lewis have all played.  FWIW, he went to Tarleton State, alma mater of James Dearth and Saalim Hakim.

@RavensInsider: Jets worked out Aaron Berry, Malcolm Bronson, Dashaun Phillips, Jordan Sullen, Rod Sweeting

@RavensInsider: Mario Harvey visited the Jets

[predator_05]

Man, i really hope we sign Mario Harvey.

[JetsFanInDenver]

We been struggling on 3rd and long. Sounds like a guy who can help us there.

[JayKwaz]

Man, i really hope we sign Mario Harvey.

I would love to see him get a shot here. We could use some speed at Lb.

Wow, Idzik's cornerback experiment sure is working out! I'm glad I listened to you dolts that told me to be patient. LOL.

Nobody listens to you or cares what you have to say because you're a Rex Ryan groupie, who absolves Buffoon Boy from any blame for the current state of the team.

Again, every bit the awful poster on here that you are on PSD.
