Sully28 47 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Confused at this signing. Thought Forte would mean Powell would be gone. I prefer Powell, but aren't they basically the same player? I liked the idea of partnering Forte with a Henry or Zeke if they were available. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post SAR I 14,092 Posted March 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 10, 2016 Whew, we needed that. Sanchez will have multiple backfield dump-off options, something he hasn't had since 2010. SAR I 6 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Morrissey 13,047 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Still think we draft a RB day 2 early. Particularly someone with power on the goal line. Forte is one of the worst goal line RB in the league. Unless we think Zac Stacy is that guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And Bilal is no Forte. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
King P 3,026 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Nice. Guessing we'll draft a back in the later rounds now. Next year's RB draft class will be much better anyways Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NJ 132,948 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Powell and Forte will be a great tandem. Plus they're 5 star individuals. Great insurance if we get stuck and are backs to the wall with an azzwipe like Smith at QB. They can bring class to the rest of the O. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not really, Powell isn't close to Forte'S talent, but he is a much better pass protector. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I prefer Powell, but aren't they basically the same player? I liked the idea of partnering Forte with a Henry or Zeke if they were available. The fact that they're similar players that can catch the ball out of the backfield is kind of the point. I loved Ivory. But his presence back there versus Powell's on any given down gave the defense less to think about. They could assume a much higher probability of run. Now, all options are on the table on every single down. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
peekskill68 1,991 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Good move. Protects Forte and gives us a very flexible backfield 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mainejet 540 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 If the Jets actually get Fitz to resign at a reasonable amount of money, he's going to also need short passing options. Fitz is not a long ball artist and just about everyone knows it. Fitz was horrible in Buffalo because he didn't have any short passing options. Signing Bilal Powell is huge for Fitz and his success. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like signing Powell, gives us depth and a replacement if Forte goes down, but I would've liked to just resign Powell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Morrissey 13,047 Posted March 10, 2016 Author Share Posted March 10, 2016 Powell was flat out better than Ivory in the 2nd half. His injury might of cost us a playoff spot. Guy needs to stay healthy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
