RESNewYork Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Preseason game 4 is about players stepping up at the bottom of the roster and solidifying your back end depth. Don't post often and not going to pretend talent evaluation (played college ball through). Before you sleep tonight it should feel good that the jets got a UDFA who very much looks like what they envisioned for their 2014 second round draft pick. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/jets-insider-robby-anderson-hauled-roster-spot-article-1.2775041 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highvoltage Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I like the skill set of all 3 rookie wideouts I really hope Amaro played his way off the roster and these guys make the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetdawgg Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Great speed. Quick feet. Great hands. He will be a match up nightmare for most teams. The Jets will need to stretch the field this season. What a great find by the scouts. I also like all of the new WR's. If Smith still has his speed when he returns they could be the future. i think RA is ahead of Smith. He looks more polished. Attacks the football. Really has good feet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better2bgreenthanblue Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 How this kid didn't get drafted is beyond me. I would take him before virtually ANY of Idziks picks from prior years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smashmouth Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I would love to see more of this kid on the outside with Decker working the slot ...this would be a very similar situation to what Decker did in Denver with Thomas and Sanders on the outside. I say move Enunwa to full time TE . Yes I think Anderson is that good. Also in 4 and 5 wide receiver sets our offense is going to be extremely hard to deal with. Jalin Marshall , Charon Peake and Robbie Anderson all need to be on this roster. If it means cutting guys like Milliner then we need to do it. Im sick of holding on to this dead wood I also expect nothing out of Devin Smith because of the 4 or 5 deep passes Fitz threw to him last year he did a horrible job adjusting to the football and that's something that Robbie Anderson excels at. I believe a guy like Robbie Anderson can make this offense elite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarge4Tide Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I'm thrilled we have the guy and think he can be a good NFL WR, but let's all pump the brakes a little before we anoint him the next Don Maynard. If he performs well against NFL starters and catches a TD or 2 in real games, then I'll be the fat dude cheering the loudest for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Both Marshall and Anderson are really impressive. Marshall needs a bit of work with his hands but that will come he has good fundamentals and gas a knack for getting open plus he should be our PR/KR. Anderson has some of the most amazing hands I have seen, If either guy is cut I will be ultra pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 What kinda sells me is that he was really productive in college (16 TDs to 114 receptions between 2014 and 2015). He also threw up a strong pro day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Anderson makes this roster and is an integral part of the offense at some point this season. He's everything that Devin Smith and Kenbrell Thompkins arent. The best possible line up Gailey can go with: WR: Marshall, Decker, Anderson TE: Enunwa RB: Forte/Powell That'a potent big play sh*t right there.

Forte could have 100 receptions in this offense. Him and Powell willl be getting matched up with LB'ers that they'll crush. Then you start mixing Decker and Marshall in the slot...that gives a defense a ton to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roscoeword Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Forte, Powell, Anderson, Decker, Marshall (most of the time) - all have great hands. No more drops tihis year, except for Enunwa! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe a guy like Robbie Anderson can make this offense elite Hate to be that guy but Sanders joined the Broncos after Decker left. While Decker was still there, they had Welker in the slot. Anyway, I like what you're thinking, and Anderson is clearly capable of being outside. I'm still in the Marshall is getting cut boat, dude had maybe double the amount of drops Amaro had, and he muffed two punts. I'm all for bringing him in for PS, keeping Ross for this season, and bringing up Marshall next year. He's definitely a good KR. I would think the team values both Ross and Marshall right now as returners, and I doubt they keep two on the 53. I think it's Peake Ross Anderson Enunwa Decker and B Marshall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Bottom line is Robby Anderson has GOT to make the team - I feel much more comfortable trotting him out over Devin Smith (when healthy). He has earned it 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thrilled with what we've seen out of Anderson, but there have been plenty of preseason superstars before who never turned into what they looked like they could be. He definitely deserves to make this team and get his opportunities, but he still hasn't stepped up against the top guys. And when attempting to compare him to Smith, the truth is that while Anderson had success with the deep ball these past few weeks, he wasn't doing that with Fitzpatrick throwing him the ball, who while clearly the best QB of the bunch, has by far the weakest arm. The only time they played together, Fitz completely missed a wide open Anderson. Not trying to be negative here, but there's still the same question of whether this is a skill set that can be utilized by the Jets right now. I absolutely hope so, but we'll have to see about that.

Shadetree Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 If this kid can live up to half of the irrational expectation I have for him, offense might take some leaps forward with the addition of Forte too. but, I still think this team isn't a playoff team without that D making BIG leap from pretty, pretty, pretty good to ELITE. This MUST happen. Please, God of Fire, Charlie Casserly, make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point, but they still have to / will keep him. You don't let a dynamic, productive WR go because he doesn't fit your QB's strengths when that QB is likely on his last year with the team. I'd hope Anderson can have a Chrebet-like career here if what we are seeing now isn't just a pre-season flash-in-the-pan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCP63 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 Oh my, I can see us giving defenses fits with our passing game. One thing I admire about the Patriots is the sets they come out in. They're constantly moving their skills guys around, looking for mismatches. With Marshall, Decker, Anderson, Enunwa, and Forte, I can definitely see there being mismatches!

The Jets absolutely have to keep him, they would be idiots not to. No reason to keep a guy like Thompkins, who has already proven how much he sucks, over a guy with this kind of potential. But at this point it's only potential, and it would be fantastic if he lives up to it, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FidelioJet Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 He made plays when he was covered. That's what makes great NFL receivers. Its also why I'm less concerned with 1's vs. 2's. He's not simply outrunning crappy corners and getting open. He's going to be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
