JohnnyLV Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 SUPER EXCITED about this move. He was great at USC, great in the preseason, has tons of chemistry with his college QB in Sam. He ran a hamstring hindered slowish 40. He is not slow by any means in game action. PLUS he is the type of receiver we dont really have on the team so far this year. We hugely upgraded the slot position. You have to think he was flashing in camp as well and Jets were afraid of losing him. With no WR signed for next year he is a foundational player for our offense. LOVE this move. Pryor's tweet does suggest a return as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also vs the Longhorns... The play I’m referring to is the second play on the first video! That was amazing. I seen it on TV when it happened. My jaw dropped.

Slightly taller version of Jeremy Kerley. If he can run routes & catch like Kerley could, I'll take that. The fact that he & Sam have a playing history together is a bonus.

Villain The Foe Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 1 hour ago, Patriot Killa said: What Jet_Engine said^ with that said I remember @Villain The Foe Posting that Burnett caught every single target thrown his way in the preseason for Tennessee. He has reliable hands it seems and he can run good routes. The 40 Time was disappointing but i’ve seen players have success without speed.(of course they had some size on them too and Burnett is only 6’0 or 6’1 but if he’s thrown open and he can move chains, he’ll be fine. Indeed he did. Burnett led all receivers in catches for the Titans during the preseason. It was a surprise that they cut him, but consider it a gift for the Jets given his rapport with Sam. Burnett hands are reliable. He ran a slow 40, but we all know 40 times are way overrated. At the end of the day, Burnett runs his routes, catches the football and has shown to be willing to lay his body out in order to to so, and most importantly, he doesnt look slow on the football field when playing against his opponent. If Burnett and Sam can build on what they started at USC then there's nothing but positives here. In terms of the WR group, the Jets have everything they need outside of a #1 WR. However, even without that #1 WR, this is a pretty solid group and I do believe Burnett will show to be a valued addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BettyBoop Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Nice move, no doubt. I'm not expecting much from him this season but he could fit in long term. I still think Mac will try to sign a guy like Devon Funchess in '19 to round out the group that would also include Enunwa, Robby and Burnett.

No, just smart kids. Another mature kid. Tay is out of Serra, a USC feeder school, also a great academic school. USC invested a lot of resources on it's tutoring/academic program to allow these kids to graduate in three years from USC. Good news, keeps them focused on the academic and athletic rigors of D1 college, little time to fool around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't a designed play, Tay broke his route when he saw green space in the end zone, waved to Sam, who saw it and made the throw between three defenders. Sam was confident Deontay would catch it. *I was right there, seated just behind our band when that play happened. This is an epic post. Thank you.

Our Special Teams Coach is the author of Academic Gameplan. https://www.howtolearn.com/academic-gameplan-for-student-athletes/ This is from an article from the OC Register about LB Cam Smith. "Smith harbors NFL aspirations and is likely to be selected in the earlier rounds of the draft come April. But throughout his childhood, it was also his only professional aspiration, like countless other boys. He dreamed of playing on Sundays, or maybe the major leagues. Suzy at times asked if he had a plan B. He informed her there was none. But his feelings changed after enrolling at USC in 2015. Tutors asked him and other players to contemplate life after football and learn about other potential occupations. “I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard, ‘What does the NFL stand for? Not For Long.’” Smith says. “I’ve heard that for a bajillion times here. It’s not them pushing down our throats that we can’t play football, but find more. Life is not just football.” https://www.ocregister.com/2018/09/27/usc-linebacker-cameron-smith-tackles-fine-wine-yoga-and-running-backs/ Letme know if he selects USC! Good for him, no way I could wish my way in now, so difficult to get into. I like nerds. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 It will be interesting to see Sam's favorite college receiver and if they add him to the game plan. He's been practicing with them since September so you'd think they can work him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
