LIJetsFan Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2015/09/ronald_martin_scouting_report_highlight_reel_for_j.html#incart_river STRENGTHS: Physical, box-safety linebacker. Plays through the whistle and relishes contact. Played as an additional linebacker against physical, run-based teams in Wisconsin and Arkansas. Disengages quickly in run support and will take on blockers to keep contain when called on. Can cover tight ends and shows adequate ball skills. Reacts quickly to throws in his area. Emotional leader on the field. WEAKNESSES: Average athlete with average play speed. Has coverage limitations. Struggles when asked to match up with speed in space. He's a tick slow to get through his route recognition at times. Shows some reckless traits in open field as a tackler. Steams downhill at suspect angles. Short-area change of direction issues limit him as a tackler against running backs with shake. BOTTOM LINE: Loves football and brings physicality and competitiveness to each snap. Limited in coverage and as a functional athlete. His best bet is to make it as a situational sub and core special-teamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack48 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 OK Coach. Look at it this way. Miles now has the chance to be claimed by another team and their 53 man roster. If he isn't he'll most likely end up on Jets or some other teams PS I am not sure he cn spend another year on our PS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Rex Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 @KMart_LI: Source: #Jets claimed S Ronald Martin from SEA Not good for Miles Miles was cut. Should have been Pryor. Jets have got to get a safety that can either cover or tackle, because they don't have one right now. That is a glaring weakness on an otherwise stellar defense. Watch how TE's give them fits.

Jet Nut Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 They cut Miles after picking up Martin. Miles played very well in preseason, he deserves to be on the 53 man roster. Wish they would have picked someone else to cut. They cut Miles because he isn't as good a player as you think and as good as Martin. Never go the love affair with Miles. Then again didn;t get the over the top love for Westerman, Ratty, Clowney etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, they think Martin is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C Mart Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 I am not sure he cn spend another year on our PS via nj.com To make room for Martin on the 53-man roster, the Jets waived safety Rontez Miles. Miles, who was on the practice squad the last two seasons, had a terrific camp. He does still have practice squad eligibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Rontez Miles was mediocre at best every time I saw him play he seemed to be in on the tackle at the end of a play while someone else always made the initial tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, they think Martin is better. Who cares how long he was in the system. This isn't rocket science where a better player cant learn a system. If they think Martin is better, i believe them. I don't think Miles was all that good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Todd Bowles on Ronald Martin compared to Rontez Miles… He’s more (of a) free (safety). Rontez had a great camp and I told him that myself. I thought he was the most improved guy, but that doesn’t mean he was ready. There are still some things he has to learn, but I think he was getting there. Just to have him on the team, I thought he needed a little bit more time and I’d love to work with the guy and we watched Martin on tape and he did some good things in Seattle. He had awareness that he showed on film, he showed tackling, he showed smarts, he showed intelligence and we need another guy at free so he was the guy.

Hitman Harris Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I can't stand Pryor, but yeah, you dont cut a 1st rounder after one year. What a bad first round pick.

Bruce Harper Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 I will never understand the logic of some of these moves, picking up cut UDFAs from other teams to replace players that went through all of training camp and made the initial 53. If they are better it makes a lot of sense. If they are equal, makes no sense at all. I guess we just have to trust in the judgment of the front office.

The evaluation of REAL talent is a skill many GMs don't have. They are numbers guys. Like Tanny and Idzik. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

southparkcpa Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 You're right. We just should assume that any Jets GM sucks because his predecessors did. all I am saying is that there is no way to know if a GM can evaluate talent. I foolishly thought Idzik was a good choice. The BPA approach may be better than the average GM. Like QBs, there are probably 10 good GMs in the league for talent evaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 or wayne chrebet, brandon moore, and Victor green? actually never got the Victor Green love affair either. Wasn't that good. Chrebet and Brandon were really good players. No one knew either player until they started, Chrebet that was day 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
