Darron Lee

I've been very vocal about how much he sucks, but I gotta give him major credit for this game. And those were not lucky picks, or deflections. The pick 6 was a great read and reaction, and the 2nd was a great athletic play. Darron even cleaned up his tackling and made a few good ones in the 2nd half of the game after being pushed around, and whiffing on a couple tackles early in the game. It's like those INTs brought something to life inside him. Did something in his tiny brain finally click? I sure ******* hope so.

Seriously. Kudos to the guy, and contrary to what someone might say, it doesn't make me upset to see him ball out like that. But he NEEDS to keep doing this.

The Darron Lee bust talk gets a stay of execution for now.

DP

I hope he builds off of this game but I'm still thinking he's more bust than boom. Hopefully I'm wrong and he takes it up another notch.

Listen you dumb asses, theres an old saying:

the whole team was very good tonight. Lee had a great game. But if you think this is the start of something great for lee, its just not. 

He sucks. Badly

And so does your post above (already received 8-9 Sanchez like Butt-fumbles). 

But nonetheless 94 tackles, 3 passes defended, 3.0 sacks and 2 forced fumbles (as only a 2nd year player) completely says otherwise. 

And the value and importance of an NFL 3rd year is to never be underestimated nor overlooked and during his 1st game of his 3rd year he not only recorded 2 INT'S and a Pick-6 to the house but also made a couple of tremendous one on one tackles. 

If you know anything about his college career while @ Ohio State (dominated Alabama during the BCS National Championship Game and flat out led his defense to victory while earning Defensive MVP honors) you'd undrafted exactly why Mike Maccagnan selected him over everyone's favorite Paxton Lynch. 

Darron Lee and the word "sucks" belong nowhere near one another this kid is every bit as athletically gifted and talented as Jonathan Vilma and his elite combine measurements do not lie.

Nailed it. I hated the Darron Lee pick before it happened but I love giving him props for tonights game. I could care less if he gets washed out on many plays, so long as he makes a big play...two was gravy.

I hope he builds off of this game but I'm still thinking he's more bust than boom. Hopefully I'm wrong and he takes it up another notch.

You landed this point! 

And I am still giggling about the flash in the panda earlier!

Best opening night ever!

He is a far better athlete than JV, but they are really different players. JV was a class act from his first game as a rookie. 

Darron has been improving bit by bit. Had some promising games last season and then went full panda tonight.

[Spoot-Face]

Going "full panda" is now officially a Jet Nation term.

 

Perfect for Darron, because he's so small and adorable when he's feasting.

lol
So, he was out of position which, coincidentally, led him to be in position to make a great leaping play.
 
If Darron Lee disappears again for weeks, only to be seen being blown up by RBs, and burned by literally anyone he tries to cover, I'll be back with you. But, for now, I'm going to give the kid credit for a great game (and I don't even think he started out looking too great).
This is the first game where his play actually has me excited. A few TFL's and sacks where he comes blitzing completely untouched never got me excited about him. This game kinda did.

You must be fun at parties.

It really was the game that decided it. Whoever won that game was going to roll Oregon 

There wasn't a single f-ing player on that Oregon team who could have been a starter for Ohio State or Alabama (outside QB.) That whole team was basically Marcus Mariota.  And there isn't a single national championship team of the past 10 years that DOESNT have a consensus Top Ten Recruiting Class among its roster.  Oregon has never had a top ten recruiting class EVER! 

I'd like to see us with a couple of USC's recruiting classes.  Then things might be different.

Bart Scott taking credit for bringing out the best of Tiny LB tonight  on SNY post game.

(Maybe he is right.)

 

5-11

I enjoyed the SNY post game tonite, especially Scott. But Lucas is still such a DBag

[LionelRichie]

i've been down on the kid since he started but he looked great tonight.   let's see what he does the rest of the season before we put him in canton.

Right here, this is his 1st impactful game in 3 years.   His tackling still sucks but full credit for two terrific plays.

Um....Two?

Two picks, deflections, split the D on a screen for a loss....

More than two plays Beer.

That is about as SOJ as it gets.

Two picks, one returned for a touchdown, multiple tips, TFL....and he sucks badly.

Word. 

 

For Lee to go Full Panda he's gotta bring it like this:

 

and Mugging QBs like this:

EVERY GAME!

Damn right and it's especially our best Monday Night Season opener. We were 0-3 on Monday Night Season openers (before tonight).

And with Darnold becoming the youngest QB to ever start a season opener? While we destroyed Detroit? On National T.V? And witnessed our fan base take over their stadium with non stop J-E-T-S chants? 

Best opening day/night, ever!

lol, he had some real lowlights in the first quarter, and was gift wrapped 2 picks...

but i'll take it. A step in the right direction is better than the alternative. Let's go Lee.

Either I missed this game( Highly doubtful)  or you're on something.

You're either not a big college football fan or you completely missed the big game. 

Darron Lee absolutely dominated and manhandled Alabama to the tune of 7 tackles (a bunch behind the line of scrimmage for loss) and two sacks. 

He without question was a leader and led that Ohio State defende on that night. 

Offensive MVL: Ohio State: RB Ezekiel Elliott. 

Defensive MVP: Ohio State: LB Darron Lee. 

Enough said.

Lee has not shown ANY type of natural LBing instincts his first 2 years, but that play he showed good anticipation and took a gamble that paid off.

Thank you. If, you've been paying attention to my posts, you know my thoughts on the absurd bust label put on Lee. And the just another box safety talk with regards to Adams. You look at the complete picture, and not just one half of it. Keep up the intelligent, rational posts. the more, the better

You must be pretty thick. Alabama did NOT play Ohio St. for the National Championship. They played in the Sugar Bowl. Look it up. Obviously I'm more of a college football fan than you are.

[MaxAF]

I have been somewhat critical of Lee, not brutal, he had a good game in the second half. Hope he can build on his success. Defense play great over all

Out of curiosity... did Darron Lee even play today?   Like I said... he didn't go from invisible and a weakness to a world beater overnight.

they even had Avery out there not covering RBs on passing downs. Huh?

[BurnleyJet]

When you gift teams points and great field positions, it puts great stress on the Defence. The Jets seemed to be in bad positions all afternoon.

We stuffed the run pretty well, the biggest issue was allowing the 1st Down on 3rd and 19, that was the ball game.

They ran right at him for the easy TD
