drdetroit Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Jets fans are just naturally miserable people or what? Skrine isn't a big name and he's not some injury prone scrub on a 1-year deal like Patterson or Vick so yeah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Skrine started opposite Joe Haden, no? Maybe nickel is a better fit, but that's not what he did exclusively. Correct me if I'm wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I'm assuming that Revis is a Jet. So Skrine's deal allows the Jets to try to land Cro along with Revis as well and still have room to upgrade at OL/OLB That would be sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Played opposite Haden, so he was targeted a ton. He's a solid addition. OK then, I'll take your word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I was convinced your stoic-ness was going to begin a return in this thread. I'm sad I'm entirely convinced that once you are again optimistic, we're winning a Super Bowl. So...no pressure or anything my man I'll give it a shot. Can't promise anything, but I'll give it a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 So he's the Dimitri Patterson of 2015? Sweet. Take the day off man. Go outside. Listen to some Styx. Just a day. You can do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patman Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Skrine is a very good slot corner, being vertically challenged leads to a lot of fouls down field though. But if you need a guy to match up against the Endlemans of the world he is a good fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom28 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hard to measure a how well a CB performs in my opinion. I watched alot of Skrine over the last few years. Used to suck, i remember him playing on the outside and not being very good, comparable to Kyle Wilson. But over the last season or two, he really improved quite a bit. Most Cleveland fans i know would refer to him as "Solid". I would never call Wilson Solid, so it is an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanInDenver Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I do not know extensively about this kid. Is he an upgrade over Kyle Wilson ? And is he someone who will start 16 games for us and justify his contract ? Thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19andOhWait Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 110 tackles, 36 pass deflections, 5 int's last 2 years combined at RCB. like this signing, new #2 corner. Browns wanted him back but we overpaid.. the market will produce these pricey looking contracts (see Smith, Torrey) but the cap is just going to go up and up. and as the drones on the networks say all the time now: its a passing league. so the more good corners we get/got, the better.

OuttaSightPF Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I thought we weren't doing anything the past couple days. Skrine in the nickel, Cro and Revis on the outside. BOOM. Would you love to hear Milliner traded or what? There's talk about Bree's being on the block. Big Mo and Milliner straight up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuckkieB Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 With every cornerback we sign, the less likelihood that the Jets blow up this site and take a CB with the 6th pick. That's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRONX DUDE Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 You guys thought FOLES to Jets was 100% sure thing. Please don't believe everything you hear and read. You guys are smarter than that. Or are u? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TnT Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Not saying theres any truth to it, but Chris Simms on BR said Revis and Skrine would be his top CB tandem in the league...thats some good praise. Simms is very high on Skrine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Goodman Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 My friend lives in Ohio, life long Browns fan, texted me this earlier: "Dude. I'd be stoked about signing Buster Skrine. I'm so bummed the Browns didn't keep him". Just a "for what it's worth" post. I haven't watched the guy play, and I'm leery of a player named "Buster" in general, but his text got me a little excited about the guy's potential.

drdetroit Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Skrine can do both nickel and 2nd CB capably or at least way better than Kyle "Bust" Wilson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
win4ever Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 I guess we learned a few tricks from him and decided to not look back at Kyle Wilson. I like the signing although I never really followed him too much with the Browns. Pettine played a man system most times I believe, and he was opposite Hayden so plenty of targets. Would need to see some game tapes against teams like Cincy, Houston, TB, Ravens, and Lions this past season. I figure Hayden took the No. 1 guy, would love to see how Skrine did against the second guy on those teams since they have talented folks. Or if he just played the slot.

papz187 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 I didn't know really anything about the guy but below is a link to a Browns message board thread about losing him, sounds like he's a very good player. http://www.dawgtalkers.net/ubbthreads.php/topics/935515/3 Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
