Larz Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 gronk is the last guy he should study. he should study witten. gronk takes 5 steps, turns left, brady hits him in stride, he knocks 3 guys to the ground and gets 30 yards. witten is the best technically. him or heath miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Amaro is sitting out the season with a non-injury "injury." I think he needs to study for the big UPS driver's test coming up in a few weeks. where does this cone from. I haven't heard that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 nah,, I will just wait for Villians film school presentation. But not until after he reads about it on Wikipedia and then deems himself an expert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detectivekimble Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 The guy had 38 catches as a rookie and looked very good at times. I don't know what the heck was going on this year in camp though, getting dropped int he depth chart and such. I will say that from his rookie year he would be a big help to this team. There is no exaggeration that our TE or HB situation is pure awful. Cumberland is terrible. He's soft, a mental midget, and not all that physically talented. Oh, and the Jets don't like him, either.

AFCEastFan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Amaro needs at least 10 years of PEDs to be at Gronks level. So what's Vernon Davis's excuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRONX DUDE Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I hope Kristaps Porzingis is studying tape of Shaquille O'Neil. Who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCEastFan Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Looks like he's already done it: http://espn.go.com/newyork/nfl/story/_/id/10943450/newyork-jets-rookie-te-jace-amaro-says-wants-next-tony-gonzalez Amaro: I want 100 catches a year 5/16/2014 - NFL JACE AMARO +6 more Rich Cimini, ESPN Staff Writer FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- New York Jets rookie Jace Amaro, one of the most prolific pass-catching tight ends in college history, has set high expectations for himself in the NFL. He hopes to be the next Tony Gonzalez. "He's kind of old school, but he did some great things," the Jets' second-round pick said Friday of Gonzalez after his first rookie-camp practice. "I'd definitely like to (model) his game. ... That's someone who I'd ultimately love to be. He's supposedly the greatest tight end to ever play. That's somewhere where I want to be, too." Gonzalez wrapped up a Hall of Fame-caliber career last season with 1,325 receptions, the most by a tight end. Amaro acknowledged he has a lot to learn about the pro game, but he spoke confidently about his long-range potential. He'd like to catch 100 passes in a season, something Gonzalez did only once. "Eventually, I'd like to do that on a consistent basis, be a tight end that catches 100 balls a year," said Amaro, who signed a four-year, $4.3 million contract before his first practice. "That might be five years from now, it might be 10. That's kind of a goal for me." Amaro did it last season at Texas Tech, racking up 106 receptions for 1,352 yards -- an FBS yardage record for tight ends. The numbers might be inflated because he played in an up-tempo offense that averaged 55 pass attempts per game, but the Jets believe he has the talent to upgrade their 31st-ranked passing attack. "A guy with that kind of size (6-foot-5, 265 pounds) and his kind of skills ... absolutely, he'll add to our passing game," coach Rex Ryan said. "Those guys are hard to cover." Amaro caught several passes in the opening practice, prompting Ryan to say afterward, "Looks like Marty (Mornhinweg) thinks he has a new toy, and we're trying to feature him." The Jets' offensive coordinator has a few new toys, namely wide receiver Eric Decker, running back Chris Johnson and quarterback Michael Vick, who will push Geno Smith for the starting job. For Amaro, the key is relearning football fundamentals. Because he was often flexed out in the Texas Tech offense, he lined up in a three-point stance only about 15 percent of the time, according to his estimate. On Friday, he got a heavy dose of work in a three-point stance, but the plan is to make him a receiving tight end, complementing incumbent Jeff Cumberland. Preparing for his final season at Texas Tech, Amaro said he studied "hours and hours" of tape of Rob Gronkowski and Jimmy Graham, trying to incorporate their techniques in his game. For now, Amaro wants simply to earn the respect of his new teammates. Beyond that, he's thinking big. "Ultimately, for me, the goal is to be the best player and win Rookie of the Year, be the best offensive player," he said. "If you don't have that mindset, you're not in it for the right reasons." Amaro felt he should've been a first-round pick. Two tight ends were drafted ahead of him -- Eric Ebron and Austin Seferian-Jenkins -- and that chafes him, as well. "It adds the same chip on my shoulder I had when I went from high school to college," he said. "To me, that's big. I'm holding it in -- I'm not really expressing about it -- but I think eventually people are going to realize it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chirorob Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 gronk is the last guy he should study. he should study witten. gronk takes 5 steps, turns left, brady hits him in stride, he knocks 3 guys to the ground and gets 30 yards. witten is the best technically. him or heath miller Witten is amazing. He probably runs a legit 4.8 or a 4.9. But he ALWAYS finds the soft spot in the defense. Watching Gronk... only if Amaro is going to grow 3 inches and put on 40 pounds.

pdxgreen Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Felt bad for Amaro. He really wanted to prove he could bump it up a notch. That picture his wife posted from the hospital said it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYallDay Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 First of all Mike Ditka played in a totally different era so why would he watch film of him? If you really think that if you consistently and persistently study and model the best of your profession, you will not improve your skillset, than you are clueless. No one said he would become as good as Gronk; he doesn't have to be. He just needs to become the best player he can be. Studying the Gronks and Grahams of the world can't possibly hurt. How's you respond with an actual argument to what he said. That sh*t was hilarious lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
