" jets would be wise to cut Skrine this offseason " ~ ~ ~

Recommended Posts

With a significant improvement in play in December combined with a lack of guarantees left in his contract and plenty of cap room, we should all accept that it is very unlikely that the Jets will be in any rush to get rid of Skrine.  I don't doubt it as a possibility at some point, but it will be heavily dependent on what other moves they are able to make this offseason.  I'd have to imagine that they would need to both retain Claiborne and sign another proven starter in FA before they would consider moving on from Skrine.  Regardless of what we all think of Skrine, they have very little incentive to make this move before the FA period.

Skrine is an aggressive player who can be a really good player without all the penalties. if the Jets just keep him in the slot rather than moving him back and forth from corner to slot it would be a much better situation IMHO. That being said the ideal place for Skrine would be New England where he would still get to play aggressive and never get called on penalties.

For real though l I don't think this is a very disciplined football team and I don't think Bowles is a very disciplined coach and that's not an ideal place for a guy like Skrine since he needs top be reigned in from time to time. We have all seen him totally blow up in games with concurrent stupid penalties yet Bowles keeps marching his ass out there. So is it bad player or incompetent coach. 3rd and long penalties are like fumbles or just as bad when you think about it and that's what puts Skrines grades in the toilet

By far the best CB the team has under contract.  "Our CBs suck!  Let's cut him!"

Restructure his contract if he balks cut him. He had some good games and some bad games. 

We already did restructure his contract.  They would have been able to cut him last offseason if they didn't restructure him to help fit Fitzpatrick in 2016.  He is in his walk year.  There is not much reason for him to restructure, unless they add time to the back end of his deal.  Do you want that?

He is flat out awful.  If by best Cb you mean in taking penalties then you might be right.

Is it just my imagination or should Juston Burris be given more of a shot at starting? I know he was kind of inconsistent but I thought he showed some really good flashes of talent the past two seasons in the little playing time that Kacy moron Rodgers gave him?

To give everyone an idea on the state of things, after they cut Mo and say Skrine, they'll be once again roughly $17MM in dead money (Forte & Ijalana) and the top three highest paid players on the team will be Beachum, Winters and Carpenter, 3 starting OL who put together an impressive 29th rank in run blocking and 27th in pass protect.

Wow, almost 10% of the cap again, that's an impact player or two that the Jets are missing on game day

2015 = $8.1m dead cap 

2016 = $17.6m dead cap

2017 = $24m dead cap (Revis, Fitz)

2018 = at least $10m (Mo + ?)

Why do we have no talent?   Why do we have no depth?

Well, we spot the good teams 15 million a year in dead contracts.   We spot them a few draft picks a year because all we do is cut bad contracts rather than have them expire to get comp picks.   Sure, NE is helped by Brady playing for a below market deal.   They also have less than 1 million in dead money next year, and they get comp picks every year. 

You can't beat the well run teams spotting them 10 million in cap space and 2 mid level draft picks every year.   Here's a thought, if we didn't have 10 million in dead cap space a year, signing Cousins would be even easier.

Some of the calls on him were utterly ridiculous. Sure he holds but so does every CB in this league, it's just that he's got a reputation. Revis rep was that he never held, even though he did, lol. Refs let him get away with all kinds of sh*t similar to what Skrine does. Anyone remember the opening home night game vs Dallas?

Revis literally crawled over & through Dez Bryant on the goal line to pick off Romo, lol. God it was fun having a star player getting star treatment from the refs. It's been a long time.

IMO, your imagination.  He is slow, looked fairly poor.  The way the team was structured he was basically handed the starting job and progressively lost it in camp. For the most part he was outplayed by Darryl Roberts.  I have more hope that the two that got no snaps (Clark and Jones) will turn out than Burris.

Burris gets turned around to easy & when he does, his make up speed is horrendous. Guy should have been an Antonio Allen type of hybrid in this system. Might still be but I doubt Bowles & Rogers have a clue what they are doing. I have no clue what type of defense they play? The opposing TEs & WRs are sometimes so wide open they aren't even visible immediately after a reception. And then Bowles comments in his press conferences "we've got some things to correct"

YOU THINK?

What are you talking about?  Revis baited Bryant and Romo into that throw.  That was an example of good Rex. Bryant had been having a good day. 3 for 70 something and an easy TD on a slant IIRC.  The Jets had been losing all day.  They tied the game with a blocked punt from McKnight.  The Cowboys went for the win and while they expected typical Revis Island man-to-man, the bracketed Bryant with Brodney Poole helping deep, Revis undercut him and had an easy pick.  EDIT: Actually watching the play, it was more just a terrible choice to throw the ball than anything else.  Sorry, but the NFL makes you hit "watch on youtube" for some reason.

Maybe you mean the 99 yarder against Brandon Marshall and the Dolphins?  That was clean too.

You may be right- I was thinking about the Marshall one. My point was if Skrine was involved in any of these plays that LOOKED like PI in real time, flags are littered throughout the field,lol.

This is all that really needs to be said.

If the dictionary had a definition for "Mediocre Slot DB", Skrine's picture would be there.  He is flat out awful playing outside the slot and more bad than good otherwise.  Surely there other guys who actually have the potential for being good at football.

Perhaps.  I am not confident that there are any on this roster.
