k-met57 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 what do we think about his play yesterday? i kind of felt bad for him, he kept getting open or at least being in position to make a play, and the QB's kept missing him. he was clearly frustrated.

Dcat Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Resurrected a glimmer of hope in him for me. Having some sort of threat at TE has been a sore spot for way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Got home too late to re-watch the game so curious about everyone's thoughts on the deep ball overthrow. The play was going away from me so I couldn't tell, but Conner Hughes tweeted that it was a catchable ball that Amaro alligator-armed. thoughts?

NYs Stepchild Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I think the play was going away from Conner too, but he hasn't the integrity to admit it. It did look that way from the first camera angle but from the replay it was obviously well out of reach. I want to rewatch after work and see how his blocking was.

A top WR may have been able to dive for the catch, but a TE?.. nope. It was overthrown by a couple feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Amaro is going to have a big year. He was always able to get open, he'll hold onto the ball this year... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the same thing in game thread, big also that it was overthrown. Maybe he could laid out for it, but hard to say. He did beat his man, and Perty recognized it. So those are the positives.

k-met57 Posted August 12, 2016 Author Share Posted August 12, 2016 The long ball was not catchable. The thing that stood out to me was that out he ran on 3rd and like 4. The throw went over his head and then the announcers said it was meant for the receiver above him. He would have had a first clearly.

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk The QBs seemed to be trying to make bigger plays but it would have served them well to hit him underneath a few times. He is really selling his routes better than his rookie year, then shielding the defenders with his body. He's going to be a great checkdown option. Teams will need to put a LB on him then they have to connect on those deep passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetdawgg Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Geno missed him earlier in the game. The ball was nearly picked off. Amaro got open. The QB's missed him too often. Things will change Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 It looks to me that Gailey is going with Q in a hybrid role over Amaro who played with the backups. I'm hoping that Amaro finds a place on the team because he can be a good receiving TE in my opinion. He is due 1.17 mil this season but is still getting guaranteed money so not smart to cut him. http://overthecap.com/player/jace-amaro/2988/ He could be a valuable role player if not a starter.

He needs to take Davis' spot. I'd rather have Amaro inline than Davis for regular running plays, and I'd rather have him spread, shifting, or in motion most of the time. We can use Amaro, and Enunwa together and cause serious matchup problems. On short yardage I'd rather an extra Olineman. Hopefully Amaro makes enough progress to allow Davis to sit down.

UntouchableCrew Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I thought he did a nice job getting open and the QBs weren't getting him the ball. He looked fine, interesting Kellen Davis still got the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RevisIsland610 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I think Amaro can be a very nice weapon for this team if used properly. He seems to be in better shape and quicker and was open a few times last night. Add him to Marshall, Decker, Enunwa and Forte and Fitz does have a lot of options in the passing game. I'm excited about this offense. They are going to pose a lot of problems for the defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raffyD Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Amaro alligator armed it for sure, but I don't blame him as it would have been a really tough catch and high risk of injury/low risk of catching so he did the right thing. He doesn't look like much to me right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no need to dive for that ball. None. This article outlines his rep as a rookie and last year he was in Bowles doghouse before being injured and missing the season. I'm not looking for trouble and want him to make plays for us. I'm just saying that once you get a reputation as being "soft" in the NFL, I think it undermines how you are perceived by both your opponents and your teammates. Gronkowski doesn't need to dive for balls in preseason. Amaro, I'm not as convinced... http://nypost.com/2014/08/12/jets-should-give-rookie-jace-amaro-a-serving-of-tough-love/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevisIsland610 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I do know about the reputation and some was deserved but IMO on that particular play there is no need to lay out for that ball when he is coming off of shoulder surgery that caused him to miss most of last year. He has a lot to work to do, especially on his blocking, but I could see him helping passing game as another viable option for Fitz. We will see.

FidelioJet Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 For some reason many Jet fans seem to have it out for Amaro. He had a very solid rookie season on a terrible team. And got hurt in year two (injuries happen) His rookie year numbers were better in almost every category than Enunwa's last year (on a much better team) yet everyone hasn't stopped singing his praises. Amaro is going to be very good...He's working very hard and, by most accounts, is having a great camp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im recording the game now so I can do a GIF breakdown and I looked at that play a couple times. It was a great play design and great sell by Amaro on his route, the ball was slightly overthrown. Though the ball was overthrown (slightly) I came away impressed by Bryce as a whole and Amaro on that particular play. Conner is exaggerating.
