How many tight ends do you see get tackled by cornerbacks on first contact EVERY TIME? We're better off without him. Honestly, I haven't seen a Jet TE who can bowl over a DB sincer Shuler/ Mitchell/ (even) Fred Baxter. Brady, Becht, Keller, and everyone in between it seems gets tackled even by corners with minimal effort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Former Packers tight end Colt Lyerla arrested for heroin possession Posted by Darin Gantt on August 30, 2016, 6:13 AM EDT AP In trying to talk his way back into another NFL chance, former Oregon tight end Colt Lyerla said his “past is the past and it’s going to stay in the past.” Except, it didn’t. According to KOIN, Lyerla was arrested Sunday for heroin possession. He was alone in a parked car behind a gas station when police spotted him, and charged him with a felony count of possessing a controlled substance. Lyerla was arrested for possession of cocaine during his brief but colorful career at Oregon, which also included him quitting the football team and suggesting the Sandy Hook shootings were a government conspiracy. That an NFL team would give him a chance despite all that was an indication of how talented he was in college. He wasn’t drafted, but the Packers signed him last spring. A knee injury ended his time there, but he was lobbying for another chance after recovering without surgery. It seems unlikely anyone is going to give him one now.

Even if true, doing so so blatantly obviously takes away an entire section of potential offense, making it all that much easier to defend against you.

Today's atheletic TE's create mismatches against slower Lbers. We've seen this ad infinitum with Gronk and our Lbers. I'm sure Gailey who's used Scott Chandler and Tony Gonz in this same ilk could have used Amaro just as effectively. Regardless of the drops/fumbles this is a head scratcher and I think there's more behind the cut than meets the eye. this front office seemed to have it out for this player from the start - so I believe this one has to be chalked up to personal issues. It won't stop the I told you so nega-Jet fans who hate everyone that does anything wrong on the field from claiming victory though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I looked you still play 11 on 11. A player may not carry the roster title of TE, but when a player is lined up next to a tackle said player is playing that position and his play is reflective of that role. Chan may not use the traditional TE but he does have someone lineup there. Just look at how the position has changed now you call a player your Pass catching TE and another a Blocking TE. There's just not 32 players out there with to ability and talent to fill the traditional TE role on all 32 teams. Guess it's the age of specialization.

Rangers9 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I think Jace will have an NFL career and someone will bring him in. And find a spot for him in their offense. As for his work ethic etc. it obviously did not impress the Jets. Word travels in the NFL if a guy is a slacker. But talent over rep in this case. I think he'll be playing somewhere this season. He's on people's lists as far as available tight ends. It might be later in the year esp after game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH1962 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 To me this is only a big deal because we wasted yet another high draft pick on a TE who cannot play. This regime gets a pass of course because they did not draft him. Anyway, they will use Quincy as the TE most of the time, which will create nightmares for defenses since we now have so many speedy WR's as well, if we can protect the QB.

ARodJetsFan Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Titans claimed TE Jace Amaro off waivers from the Jets. Amaro never settled in with New York and fell off after a solid start this preseason. Tennessee uses Delanie Walker as a de facto wide receiver on many of his snaps, and that is a role in which Amaro could thrive. He still needs to clean up his drops and become a more proficient blocker to hang in the NFL.
