joewilly12 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Jets WR Chris Owusu is in the league's concussion protocol. He's had multiple brain injuries, and coach Todd Bowles admitted it's "very concerning." Deep-threat Owusu can be considered week-to-week Chris Ivory (quad) is not practicing Wednesday. Ivory played through the injury last week, but we've seen this with him before. He missed Week 3 with a minor injury before wrecking the Dolphins in Week 4. If Ivory is unable to play, Bilal Powell, Zac Stacy, and Stevan Ridley will handle backfield duties for the Jets. Stacy would probably be the favorite to start, but carries would likely be split between the three backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 If I have to watch an entire game of Zach Stacy running the Football, I'm literally going to blow my brains out. What's up with Ridley? Is he healthy can he play? And Powell? Is he healthy yet? **** Zach Stacy. He looks like he's dragging a 18-wheeler behind him when he runs.

I agree with you - somehow I thought Stacy looked good in the preseason. But he's looked amazingly slow and un-dynamic playing now. Hopefully Ridley will be ready this week - we can definitely use him! I'm definitely concerned about Ivory and his lingering soft-tissue injuries... Oh - and WRT Owusu - he's a smart guy. I hate to say it, but he should probably hang it up. It's not worth the risk for him, and it's not worth the risk for the Jets to keep a guy that's injured every other week.

JetBlue Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I wonder why we haven't resigned Shaq Evans to the PS (did he really suck that bad?); where is T.J. Graham when you need him? It is obvious we need help at receiver... I had my doubts on Owusu all along; not because of his ability on the field but his ability to STAY on the field.

Sunday we get to see our buddy Walt Powell playing for the Raiders we should have kept him and let Owusu go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCarl40 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 I am not sure how they are going to play Ridley. AFAIK he is not even on roster yet. He is not. And it's a big squeeze with Pryor, Mangold, Skrine, Ivory, Powell, etc. all banged up. Not much wiggle room on the roster. WR should be fine with Kerley and Thompkins. RB depth is a concern, but Raiders are much worse against the pass. Air Raid Fitzmagic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlue Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Sunday we get to see our buddy Walt Powell playing for the Raiders we should have kept him and let Owusu go.. To this day I don't understand why he was cut. He played lights out in the last few preseason games and added a real big play dimension on special teams.

Jetster Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Time to cut bait with Owusu. I'm sure he's a nice kid & he went to Stanford so he shouldn't have a problem getting a new job. Roster spots are precious on this Jets team now. Time to get Thompkins going. Devin Smith needs to step up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Stacey did look decent in camp but very poor in reg season. I wish we would have committed to bring in a true young developmental back this year, we just grabbed up all of these suspect or hurt vets and hope one or more would work out.

To this day I don't understand why he was cut. He played lights out in the last few preseason games and added a real big play dimension on special teams. Because he is not as good? Powell sat around on the practice squads of the Jets and Bills before the Raiders finally bit a couple of weeks ago. Pretty sure that he still hasn't played.

batman10023 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 i really wish they would put Owusu on IR and spend the next 4 months talking to him about why he should retire. Seriously the guy is too smart to do this to himself. that's 6 concussions this guy has had. and that's only the diagnosed ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
