This article was written after the 1st pre-season game of his rookie year. Ridiculous to have been written in the first place and even more ridiculous to be reposted two years later...

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. Im not sure if I will say that many Jets fans seem to have it out for Amaro, however, what I will definitely agree with is that Jets fans have zero patience with young players.

rex-n-effect Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Thought he looked okay. Got open a few times and I would have liked to see what he could do with the reception. He has some growth to do to move up the depth chart but definitely a guy who could move up with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it's the high draft picks that people seem to have little patience with. People still refuse to understand that it takes a lot of guys a couple of years to acclimate themselves to the NFL.

We have young players all the time, the fact that we drafted so many other young players yet only mo and sheldon are generally the only one's mentioned shows that "young players generally produce" shouldnt be such a general statement. Mo and Sheldon are two names. I remember Idzik drafting 13 players in just 1 draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Amaro and Sudfeld looked very poor on the blocking front. And then people wonder why Kellen Davis is first on the depth chart. Amaro needs to become a better blocker and he will see the field more. He definitely has no problem getting open, and he seems improved with catching the football according to camp updates. Still a lot of time for him to move up the depth chart and be a difference maker come the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you go from being the most productive TE in the draft (wasnt even the first TE off the board that draft) yet receive so much negative criticism? No patience.

The guy busted his a$$ and became one of the best blocking TEs in the league. I don't get how Amaro and Sudsy can't put in the work to become at least competent blockers. Frankly, I'm in shock Sudsy is still on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMagicRat Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I think a number of people hate on Amaro because he dropped a number of very catchable as a rookie. Plus he's part of a draft class that has been highly criticized by fans and the media alike (though there have been signs of progress recently). If Amaro can become at least a solid TE we should all be happy with the pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mecca Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Idzik was the worst thing that's happened to this franchise in decades. We really drafted Amaro over Allen Robinson and Winters over Keenan Allen when we had clear deficiencies at the position. And it wasn't like Allen or Robinson were no names in the draft. Most logical fans were drooling over the prospect of us landing them in 2nd/3rd round. Thank God for Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScarletKnight89 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I actually was pleased. He was open quite a few times which is a good sign. Petty just missed him on a touch pass down the sideline that would have went for a nice gain. I think he'll be a contributor for us this season.

bitonti Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 The Jets don't use receiving TE under Gailey. There's no true role for Amero in this offense, and he's not going to get reps at H back behind Enunwa. No one currently employed by this team will advocate for his roster spot. See ya Jace.

The Jets didn't use a TE because they had no one who could catch last year. The myth that Gailey doesn't use Te's is just that a myth. He used Tony Gonzalez pretty well in KC and Scott Chandler had a career year with him in Buffalo. Chan molds his offense to the personnel , he'll use Amaro a lot if it gives the Jets a mismatch against defenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Damn, I'd love to find my old posts regarding Enunwa. I was high on this guys measurables & and had many fans here making fun of me for it. I might take a stroll into the past & find some of those gems,lol. I think Enunwas gonna kick some f*cking 3/4 CBs azzes this year! Fortes presence is gonna make Enunwa uncoverable when Chan has him run patterns instead of blocking. Take a good look around the league at 3rd & 4th CBs. Look at ours, would you want McDougle stuck covering a 6"-2" 225 Lb chiseled mass of muscle that can run a 4.45? If he starts getting more confidence & Fitz gets more confidence in him, we could be in for some awesome YAC plays ripping through secondaries while Marshall & Decker are blocking along the way. Forget trying to defend Brandin, Eric & Quincy, you also have to tackle these big dudes while they're straight arming you into the ground. Love...love...love, the physicality of our top 3 WRs!!!!

I noticed he was wide open on one long sideline post pattern in the 3Q and Petty just flat out overthrew him. Seriously, if the throw was three feet shorter he would have had an easy six. Felt bad for him, and showed me why Petty just isn't ready yet. I agree the fact that he got open on a bunch of plays is encouraging. Hopefully his blocking keeps improving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 Amaro FINALLY had the lights turn on and he's going to be a LEGIT THREAT to score MANY TDs in 2016. All the doubters and haters will eventually realize that #88 will KILL opposing defenses down the seam and/or turning up the sideline once they toss it to him on an OutRoute in the Flat. Gailey isn't as THICK-HEADED as some of the posters here and will definitely utilize Amaro for the MULTIPLE mismatches he will create on the field for opposing defenses. Mark it.

k-met57 Posted August 13, 2016 Author Share Posted August 13, 2016 i think Amaro is going to have a good year. north of 600 yards and 5TD's or so. He is clearly faster and bigger then most linebackers, he seems to be working out his drop issues, and Fitz will get him the ball...unlike whichever scrub was throwing it to him Thursday.
