Sully28 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAR I Posted March 10, 2016 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morrissey 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King P 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, Powell isn't close to Forte'S talent, but he is a much better pass protector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mainejet 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.

I like signing Powell, gives us depth and a replacement if Forte goes down, but I would've liked to just resign Powell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morrissey 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
