14 in Green Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I'd really love to see this Sam/Deontay connection translate to the NFL. How cool a story would two 20 (when signed) year old college teammates hooking up for TDs the next 10 years or so be? @HelenOfTroy might change her tag to @HelenofFlorham LOL.

ComfortablyNumb Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I wonder how he is going to adjust to nfl coverages might be hard for him to find separation Sent from my [device_name] using http://JetNation.com mobile appJarvis Landry ran 4.7 if not mistaken and he does ok. If he can run routes and catch well he’ll be fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. like Chrebet, Welker. Guys were not fast. But they could catch it. Not comparing, just saying it is possible. The familiarity intrigues me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 Burnett could develop into Sams Edelman. The Patriots for the most part use guys that are smart. Watch Brady operate & if guys aren't where they should be they end up cut. Not only does Macc need to find athletic players to surround Sam with, they also need to be guys cerebral enough to be in the right spots, break routes in sync with Sam & most importantly catch the ball. So far Enunwa is head & shoulders above everyone but he can't stay healthy (how much do we pay him?). Anderson is a 2/3 WR with a limited repertoire & skinny as a rail. Kearse is a pros pro, but aging, Burnett could be Sams slot guy for years to come, plus Herndon & Leggett (if he can stay healthy), can really compliment the passing game. This team needs a legit #1 WR. Jets should go after Tyrell Williams in free agency. Williams, Enunwa, Kearse, Burnett, Herndon, Leggett & another added RB & let's rock.

sec101row23 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 I would pump the brakes on these expectations for Burnett. Most likely he isn’t going to be on the field very much unless there are more injuries to the WR group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kdels62 Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 People really are overreacting to an end of the roster, slow, small UDFA rookie. More likely than not he’s in for 2 plays and runs a slant and an out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my [device_name] using http://JetNation.com mobile app Having watched all their games, I really don't think that's true. He had a good knack for getting balls thrown behind him and disputed balls as well. Why do so many people feel it's their duty to lower expectations around here? No one has big expectations for the guy (although it would be great if he worked out). He's an UDFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigO Posted October 21, 2018 Share Posted October 21, 2018 17 hours ago, Jet_Engine1 said: Bad 40. Like, 4.8. But he should be a good slot guy, runs good routes. Exactly. 40 times are often overrated for certain types of wr’s. Theilen had a mediocre 40 yet knows how to get open. Belitnifkoff, an all time great, was slow as molasses but was one of the most productive recievers ever. Not every WR has top flight speed or needs to. Burnett is an outstanding possession wr and it’s no coincidence he was Sam’s go to guy. This is exactly what Sam needs in his development. A wr he knows like the back of his hand and feels comfortable with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Haven't seen anyone mention this with all the Bowles talk, but I was very excited by what I saw out of Burnett on Sunday. Nice routes, great hands, obvious chemistry with his former college QB, seems like the perfect slot guy. With a viable #1 receiver, Quincy, Robbie and Deontay could be a formidable receiving corps, and then add in Herndon and we may only be 1 player away from having a surprisingly strong and young receiving corps. Add a couple OL and RB, along with a new head coach and the offense could JET in the next year, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now Mac (does he get credit for this?) has 2 UDRFA on the roster: one that can get take the top off of defenses and the other who compiled 10 receptions 143 yards in 6 games and has synergy with the QB.

Rangers9 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Like Robby maybe we can get a good starter as a UFA. He should be in the mix for next season and on the active roster. He can definitely make this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
14 in Green Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 He made a catch outside the back of the end zone last week, that if it was inbounds, would've been the catch of the year. With all the problems we had at WR this year, not getting him more involved is something I'll never understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Maybe size and speed kept him from being drafted. But he has the intangibles that a good football player has. Basically he makes plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all the problems we had at WR this year, not getting him more involved is something I'll never understand. This is the legacy of Bowles. Never give the kid who is working his ass off more snaps. Prioritize your players in the beginning of the season, and then never change the list; just go down the list when the top player is lost. Who was the best RB on the field on Sunday - do we think it was McGuire? He sets his game plan before the game starts and refuses to adjust. He sets his ordered list of players in the beginning of the season and refuses to adjust. His rookie QB adjusts are starts playing better, and he refuses to adjust the game plan. He designed an offense/defense game plan when he became HC and refused to adjust. A great guy, but too rigid to adapt and adjust. Glad he is gone.
