KRL Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 One going up (Leonard) and one who has major questions (Marcus): - Leonard Williams continues the dominant play that we saw all camp and in the pre-season. The combination of speed, power and technique he's showing is scary. He absolutely brutalized a good CIN OLine all day. Can Jet fans wrap their head around the idea that we may have the next great DLineman in football on the team at 22 years old??? - Marcus Williams had a good season in 2015 as the #4 CB behind Revis, Cro and Skrine. But now he's been elevated into a quasi-starter with the amount of times we deploy three CB's. And he didn't get off to a good start on Sunday. He was responsible for two of the big plays the secondary gave up: * The long completion to Ozumah(?) was his fault, instead of playing the man he went for the ball and missed both * The Green TD pass was his fault, because he didn't fall back into a safety position and give Revis help It makes you wonder if he can step up to the increased responsibility coming his way or is he just a #4 CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Will Marcus Williams be the 2nd coming of Otis Smith? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJets Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I vividly remember Marcus' first game against the Chiefs in 2014. The Idzik year, he was signed off the street pretty much, came in (started that day?), and played really well considering what we had that season. He had at least two PDs that game and played strictly man. I think he was better that day than he has shown thus far in the PS and this past Sunday. The fact that he can't tackle makes it even worse. Luckily for us, he seems to be at the right place at the right time a lot. Leonard is a grown fcking man at 21. Double digit sacks for the next 13 years??? Yes please.

shuler82 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Think we're going to be seeing that CB we signed from the Pats a lot sooner than later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had substitution issues and the Bengals snapped the ball before the D got the call and were set. They were all standing around looking for a call from the sidelines. It was one of the numerous subs issues the Jets had. All the CB's struggled. This concern isnt exclusive to Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Do we know that Williams was assigned to cover Usamah for sure? I can put up with the odd fail from a guy like Marcus Williams because he is a playmaker that gets turnovers. The thing that has hurt the jets in the secondary is that they have used picks on them over the years but most of these guys are not panning out.

Barkus Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Marcus Williams is the worst tackler I have ever seen, he makes Deion Sanders look like Ronnie Lott. He is a liability in the middle of the field. He has good ball skills, perhaps better to keep him outside and skrine in slot? Skrine is a much better tackler.

The coaches got the subs in late and the entire D was looking around for the call. Williams included. The Bengals snapped the ball quick when they noticed the subs issue and Williams was late to get set hence letting the WR behind him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mecca Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Gilchrist had a really poor game and we made some bad play calls. For starters, we played cover 1 when Cinci was in shotgun 3 wide and had the slot man run an in route to make the safety bite so AJ would have 1 on 1 coverage. We should have been doubling AJ on every play, especially considering the Bengals don't have a #2 WR. Let LaFell beat you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is one of my biggest pet peeves about NFL defenses these days, it is not unique to the jets. Half the plays the LB's and some of the DB's are not ready and in good football positon at the snap of the ball, they are too busy yelling at each other, gesticulating and looking at teammates. It annoys the hell out of me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darron Lee let the receiver get behind him, Williams was the one who went for the ball and whiffed, fwiw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleedin Green Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Williams is pretty much what he's always been, a player of extremes, which can lead to some great plays and other absolutely awful ones. It's a lot less of a concern when a guy like that is further down the depth chart and matching up against less talented WRs, because even when the gamble doesn't pay off, it's probably not going to hurt the team quite as much, especially when offset by a number of plays. It becomes more problematic when playing a lot more against top talent. He's still a solid enough player as a rotational guy, but the current DB situation means he'll be playing more than they'd ideally like. Here's hoping Burris can step up as the season progresses and allow the Jets' to move Williams back to the situational role he's best suited for.

He's not a starter material. He might be able to hold the fort as your #3 on most Sundays, but I consider him as a decent depth guy. Lacks speed and coverage skills and is on the shorter side. He's always been a ballhawk who will give up plays. Im ok with him being the #4, which leaves room for the #3 CB. For now, that's him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Lonelyhearts Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Williamses. Marcus Williams is an undrafted free agent who makes less than my car dealer. He has to play a whole lot worse than that to even enter the discussion of what's wrong with this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I was so high on Marcus Williams...I honestly thought he would be our next starter. Covered really well and rarely got beat.. Still plays solid coverage...but seems to get lost a lot, can't tackle and can't take on a block. Nickel corner in passing situations only. That's what he is..and he'll be good at it.
