Hael Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Don't like him. He's an inconsistent player with raw technique but solid athleticism, but apparently couldn't learn the Pats D, was a bad scheme fit and was not a good effort guy. Also questions about character. He was outplayed by all of NEs rookies and found himself without a spot on the team. The Pats basically traded a 5th rounder in draft value for him so he was a gamble from the get go. I doubt he makes the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jgb Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Macc: "Welcome to the Jets, Kony. We brought you in for a very specific purpose--" Bowles grabs Kony by the shirt collar. Bowles: "Tell us! We must know the Patriots' secrets!!" Kony: "Hey thanks guys. Well every morning before practice, Coach B comes out and gives us a pep talk." Bowles: "Yes!! How does he motivate the Patriots to win again and again? I must know!" Kony: "He always ends his pep talk with the same line." Macc leans in and takes a sip of coffee. Bowles licks the end of his pencil and prepares to take notes. Kony hesitates. Macc: "Go on, son." Kony: "Uh he says, 'Whatever you do, don't play like a Jet today." Bowles' pencil lead breaks. Macc pushes coffee away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Adam Schefter is reporting that the Jets made a waiver claim for defensive end Kony Ealy. Ealy was recently waived by the Patriots in a surprise move since they gave up draft position to get him. NY Jets claimed former Patriots' DE Kony Ealy on waivers, per source. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 27, 2017 Also per source, here are the other teams that put in a claim for DE Kony Ealy: Giants, Bucs, Lions, Redskins & Cardinals — Jane Slater (@SlaterNFL) August 28, 2017 The Jets claimed defensive end Kony Ealy off waivers a day after the Patriots cut him, a source confirmed. Ealy joined the Patriots in March in a trade from the Panthers. New England sent its second-round pick to Carolina in exchange for Ealy and a third-round selection. But Ealy was not a fit in New England, and Bill Belichick cut him loose. The 6-foot-4, 275-pound Ealy is best known for his Super Bowl 50 performance with the Panthers. He had three sacks, an interception and a forced fumble in the loss to the Broncos. That was only 18 months ago, but Ealy is now joining his third team. New Jets DE Kony Ealy and Sheldon Richardson are cousins and now teammates. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 27, 2017 Click here to read the full story...

Integrity28 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Ealy wasn't picking up the system in NE, plus I've heard he wasn't bought in to the culture - so there was friction w coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integrity28 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 A smart GM would turn around and trade him to one of the other teams that put in a claim. We'll instead play him at Safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYs Stepchild Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Bowles' system is different than most. Linemen attack and LBs read. Most of them have the linemen read and MLBs attack. This is why Wilkerson lost much of his value when Rex left. He is very instinctive which doesn't help him now. Who knows Ealy might be a good fit here and surprise. I know he's going to have a lot more room to work with here. Should be a rush LBs dream to play next to this line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's the Patriots, so nobody questions it. They didn't "trade their 2nd" for him. They swapped their 2nd for Carolina's 3rd. 64 for 72. Value chart rates it around 40 points which equates to a 5th. Apparently, Dietrich Wise Jr. has been killing it. Ealy was Sheldn's teammate at Missouri.

Why not? twitter.com/slaternfl/stat… Normally when you see that many teams put in a claim you can flip a guy, but the Pats were supposedly shopping this kid all weekend. If they couldn't get anything for him, what are we going to get? A conditional 7th? Teams don't like to deal within the division, so more likely we were interested but wouldn't offer anything to the Pats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are lots of teams with young players on their 1st deal, later picks of even udfa's that will get cut and be an upgrade over our lower roster end players.

I get what you mean, but you said "anybody who upgrades this team." There are plenty of guys who would upgrade this team that are vets and making money. There were plenty already on this team this FO dumped - this year's roster is worse than last year. I get the idea of picking through the bodies for good fits, but the guys they pick up HAVE to be beneficial beyond this lost year. No reason to go after the Jason Babin's and Pete Kendall's of the world even though they would be dramatic upgrades for this roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, as he said to me: Where did I say that we should not be picking up players during the mini-draft??? They should pick up plenty of guys - I'm guessing 5 at the low end. They just have to be selective towards future value, rather than the Tannenbaum years when any instant improvement had value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
