Matt39 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Robinson reportedly re-injured the broken leg which he suffered last November. With Robinson gone, Matt Forte's hold on the short-yardage work appears much more secure. New York also waived CB Dexter McDougle, DB Ronald Martin, and RB Dominique Williams.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 He actually looked good in the preseason finale. Forte is not a great rb anymore, he's more of an all purpose guy. Powell will be seeing more touches than most are predicting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know its hindsight, but really, its not like Jets fans really wanted this guy, but imagine if we drafted Kenneth Dixon and not Christian hackenberg. Atleast we'd have a 2nd round pick that would produce something on the field this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack can definitely still turn out to be good. QB is easily the most important and hardest spot to fill. RBs? Late round picks, UDFAs, waivers, FAs are all potential routes to fill the stable of RBs.

joewilly12 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Ray Rice DAMMIT Karlos Williams, RB, Bills. Age: 23. i Wow, what a fall from grace. Eight months ago, Karlos Williams was coming off a terrific rookie campaign and seemed to be Buffalo's next great running back. He averaged 5.6 yards per carry and was more impressive than LeSean McCoy most of the time. Williams, however, showed up to training camp 25 pounds overweight and then was suspended. Williams may have gotten into trouble again, which prompted this release. Still, Williams is incredibly talented, so some team may decide to take a chance on him.

joewilly12 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Patriots signed RB Bishop Sankey to their practice squad. The first back taken in the 2014 draft, Sankey went unclaimed on waivers. Even Justin Hunter was given a look by the Dolphins. Sankey does not need to be owned even in deeper Dynasty formats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I think maybe they'll give the Seattle kid a shot. I was surprised that in that Philly game they gave the ball that much to Robinson. Considering he was just coming back I felt they were maybe overusing him. But Robinson was supposed to replace Ivory and give us a power dimension. And like Ivory he came from the Saints. I'm concerned about the running game. On this team last year it sets up everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 The Jets paired the roster down to 53 players yesterday and they weren’t done making moves. They were awarded four waiver claims, so today they put RB Khiry Robinson on I.R. and waived three more players. Waived were S Ronald Martin, CB Dexter McDougle and RB Dominique Williams. Losing Robinson is a pretty big blow to the offense, he was going to be the 3rd back but with Bilal Powell missing time last year and Matt Forte being on the wrong side of 30, his role was expected to be big. I'm told #Jets RB Khiry Robinson was waived-injured w/ a broken right leg — which he re-injured at Philly — Kimberley A. Martin (@KMart_LI) September 4, 2016 The positional breakdown of the current roster is very strange and we expect that to change. They currently have 4 quarterbacks on the roster and 4 tight ends. Two of the tight ends are brand new so that looks like an open audition and speaks to the dissatisfaction Mac and Bowles had with Sudfeld and Amaro. So it is possible that one of the two new tight ends could be released when they have to make room for Sheldon Richardson next week.
