KRL Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Veteran depth DLine signing: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/8630/kevin-vickerson http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/jets/post/_/id/50070/new-york-jets-bolster-d-line-depth-sign-kevin-vickerson Addressing their lack of depth on the defensive line, the New York Jets agreed to terms Friday with former Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Kevin Vickerson. He will sign a one-year contract. Vickerson, 32, was signed by the Chiefs last season after Mike DeVito -- a former Jet -- suffered a season-ending Achilles injury in the opener. He played in 15 games, participating in 162 snaps on defense. He was primarily a first-down and second-down player, playing mostly left end in the Chiefs' 3-4 front. He finished with 12 total tackles and no sacks. Basically, Vickerson (6-foot-5, 328 pounds) will be an older version of Kenrick Ellis, who left as a free agent to sign with the New York Giants. The Jets needed some experienced depth behind Muhammad Wilkerson, Sheldon Richardson and Damon Harrison. This will be Vickerson's fifth team. He also has played with the Denver Broncos, Tennessee Titans and Miami Dolphins. His best season was 2012, when he started 14 games for the Broncos and recorded 40 tackles and two sacks.

It also seems like the new staff likes "big" DLinemen (290+) 6'5 300, it seems Bowels and Rogers have been searching for veteran DL depth with length, fits the mold, still a quality player, just turned 32, this has nothing to do with Ellis going to Giants.

Jetster Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 Bowles big nickel needs BIG guys up front to keep the running game off of our secondary. The secondary needs to be able to run free & make plays without Olineman getting off to the 2nd level. We'll see a few defensive holding, up front, I'm sure Bowles tells these guys, "no Olineman can get to the 2nd level". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

32EBoozer Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 sounds logical. Sounds like they should keep Snacks then. Guys a very good run stopper. Hope no one offer's a 2nd for him. Would rather pick up extra picks by trading down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsRay Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 KE would've been better suited for this role... Vickerson isn't filling Ellis' role, he's probably filling Douzable's role, and is a better player. Barnes, for now, fills Ellis' role, and basically platooned with him last year.

JetsRay Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 No, he's not. Douzable and Ellis are both better players than Vickerson. How do you figure? Vickerson is an established player, Douzable played one year at the NFL level last year, Ellis was in and out of the line-up? Nevermind that, Ellis and Vickerson do not play the same position or the same roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsRay Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Is Barnes still on the roster? TJ Barnes, not Antwan Barnes the LB TJ Barnes is our 6'8 330 DT/NT that was in rotation on the DL last year in place of Ellis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 Is Barnes still on the roster? Nope he signed with Jacksonville Who are you talking about? TJ Barnes is signed through 2016.
