MichaelScott Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Hey JN! Long time lurker, first time poster. I'm cautiously excited watching Herndon over the past couple weeks. I realize he is still only averaging a couple catches a game but it seems like Sam is looking his way more and more. Maybe I'm crazy (I'm definitely crazy) and this is more about the TE position being completely irrelevant for this team in the last half decade, but I'm hoping that this is Herndon starting to separate himself from the rest of the group. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thoughts? He’s looked good ever since that first ugly game where he didn’t stretch his arms out for the touchdown. I would assume it means that he took the off game to heart and worked as the weeks went on, that’s one good sign. I would hope that him and Darnold continue to connect. Nothing adjusts a player to the pro speed like having some confidence and further chemistry between Herndon and Darnold will do that So far so good though. He should see more targets with an injury riddled WR core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gas2No99 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 He's a TE from The U. Yes, he is LEGIT and will pan out NICELY for us. He's a 2nd round talent that dropped to the 4th due to injury. He's surpassed Leggett in EVERY way thus far in LESS time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny you say that, I was thinking about picking him up for my bye week replacement in a couple weeks. 13 and 14 points the last two weeks. If he separates from the rest of the group and gets more targets from Sam, I think he could be a big part of the offense going forward, not just this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 not putting him in canton just yet. he's played well but this team has been so bereft of te's for the past 10 seasons that anyone who can breath looks good. still between leggett sterling and herndon the jets might have found an answer to the position. and it couldn't come at a better time considering how the receivers are dropping like flies. the only question is can they use more double te sets or split one of these guys out?

BettyBoop Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 He's going to quickly become one of Sam's favorite targets. One of Mac's better picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewilly12 Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Interesting enough we supposedly have 3-4 very good TE's in Sterling,Herndon,Leggett and Tomlinson yet they are rarely used in the passing game. Against the Vikings I expected them to use the heck out of the TE's. Is this on Jeremey Bates or Todd Bowles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also don't know how many plays were run for tight ends that were covered. Just because a player doesn't get a ball doesn't mean there weren't plays run for said player.

I think that's where #89 will be most effective. They can line him up in a double TE formation and then motion him to the outside to either out muscle/leap a DB (like against Indy) OR out run the LB in coverage. He's 6'3" so he's not gargantuan like ASJ or Gronk are, but he's enough of a Tweener that can be pretty dangerous if moved around and used properly to exploit mismatches against opposing defenses.

Dcat Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Herndon has looked good. I wonder how many games his suspension will be? The league will be sure to suspend him as soon as we need him the most. (DWI at nearly double the limit at 5 am on Rte 80 East in Rockaway with passengers in the car and an accident = suspension) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creepy Lurker Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I would like for Sterling to show something this year as well. Pick up a decent TE in FA that can block/receive so we move on from Tomlinson. 3 decent TEs would be cost effective and kind of like what the Colts had a few years ago.
