bostonmajet Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I don't exactly remember the timing, but I believe that the Jets traded for Anderson after they had already picked Shepard. But the truth is, that the Jets traded a 7th round pick that has been so productive that he has taking snaps away from the 3rd round pick. Does that make the 3rd round pick bad or the 7th great? It is a class half-full thing. If you like Mac and support him than the 7th was great; if you don't like Mac and want him gone, than the 3rd was a waste. Here is the thing. No matter how you look at it (full or empty), it is too early to tell if Shepard will pan out. Anderson was a gamble due to his health and Shepard, although old, is still raw within the NFL. Loosing snaps to another 3rd round pick with 3 years of experience isn't a death nail for a DL. Whether Mac is still here or not, we will know better towards the end of next year (or the year after) if Shepard is a dud. Also, it is great to get a starter out of a 3rd round pick (especially a high one), but a rotational player in the 3rd is not what you had hoped, he isn't a bust either.

You mean the guy that did virtually nothing since about week 3 and then got suspended? He had about two good games early in the year when he got nice picks, full credit to him but then he went back to be the type of ilb that can only tackle guys when he is chasing and getting blown out of the holes if teams run right at him. Lee is not a good example of a guy who was poor and then suddenly was really good. Also Lee as a 3rd year player is younger than the guy we drafted from a small school last year.

It' true. It's science. but the question arises is that ebcause the coach cant coach. Look at the players that regressed, or never grown. It is hard to blame the gm soley when the coach sucks. I see the point for people when they say the both should go but I am torn on Macc because Bowles sucks soooo bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 He has 5 starts, 15 combined tackles, 5 solos, 0 sacks and 5 Qb hits. He's dressed in every game. If he was totally a zero I guess he would have been not activated on game day. He's been in on 323 snap counts which is about 31%. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/ShepNa00.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/nyj/2018-snap-counts.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For one, you don't pick a reach, small school, older, "raw" player who needs multiple years to "develop" in the third round when you are as low on team talent as we were/are. The seventh? Sure. Take a flier late. In the third, we should expect a starter at most, or a contributor at the least, immediately. Second, what gives anyone faith that Macc knew what he was doing selecting this low-probability prospect? That there is real cause to have hope he'll suddenly be a productive player?

Most of his picks are either role-filling JAG's, or gone as total busts. Only his blindingly obvious 1st round picks (Adams, Darnold, Williams, Lee) can be considered at or above average players. And even then, two are widely considered underperformers (Lee and Willaims). The 2nd and 3rd rounders? 2018 - Shephard - nothing of note in year #1 2017 - Maye - unneeded second Sagety, can't stay healthy, not much of a performer to-date 2017 - Stewart - bust WR #291 2016 - Hackenberg - never took a single snap, the only 2nd round QB to not do so in NFL history. 2016 - Jenkins - role filler at best. To paraphrase Starship Troopers, he's fine in the job, till's he's hurt, or they find somebody better. 2015 - Devin Smith - bust WR #128 2015 - Mauldin - inspired momentary hope/hype, got a few sacks, but nothing really came of it. Macc has been very VERY poor at drafting, it's really just that simple. All his credit either comes from Darnold (which we paid a ton to move up to MAYBE get, and who fell into his lap because of the Giants of all teams), Adams (consensus pick), and that some of his late rounders have been retained as moderate-talent roster-spot-and-role-fillers (Shell, Jenkins, McGuire, etc.) His only real "hit" that I see, is Herndon. a 4th rounder who looks like he might be legit as a pass catching weapon. But Shephard.....it's hard to see him working out, simply because of all the factors involved and his lack of any notable performance to-date. It's premature, he could (stress could) surprise us all, the odds simply don't favor that. And Macc is famous for missing in those rounds on guys he (and seemingle he alone) think are great that quickly wash out of the NFL. I'm not disagreeing with anything regarding Macc and his draft record, don't get me wrong (although I do like Maye and think he can be a good one if he shake the injuries). The one thing that actually gives me some hope on Shepard is the fact that he was a player that I, and a couple of other "draft guys", actually liked a lot going into the actual draft. Usually we don't get any of the players we want because they go against everything Maccagnan believes in. More importantly, I think the scheme is so bad that he's in a very tough position to succeed. When he was drafted, I said that I thought we would be moving to more of a "base" 4-3 because where he could really shine in his first year is 4-3 DT and that it would take him a little bit longer to adjust to 3-4 NT because he needs to fill out his frame a little bit, and learn how to plug the gaps from the nose, something that's a little more "technical" and takes a bit to learn, even for veteran players making that transition. Turns out that, not only did we not move to a base 4-3, but, if my eyes are correct, we've played less 4-3 than we have in years prior. Couple that with all the other issues with Bowles's scheme (blitz and coverage packages not matching each other, horrendous defensive playcalling, etc.), and it's just to tough to make a clear assessment until we see him in a new scheme that plays to the personnels strengths, and a new staff that can actually coach players up. Look, I think Shepard has a good chance of becoming something, but I totally recognize that Maccagnan's history scares people off from believing that, myself included. No matter what happens though, calling it a career 15 games in is just way too early. I'm no Darron Lee fan on a personal level, but he was the prime example of speaking to soon, and there was plenty more evidence that he was never going to take the jump that he did, on the field.

Mogglez Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 4 hours ago, sec101row23 said: He was playing more earlier in the season. He did nothing. Can’t fault Bowles on this one. Bowles played Kaufusi more last week. Can’t blame everything on Bowles. Well, that was because Leo punched his way out of the game. Also, considering how poorly the defense played last week, even without the penalties, I can, and absolutely will, fault Bowles on that one. The one thing that you can say about Shepard was that he wasn't playing flashy or racking up tackles/sacks, but he wasn't a liability either. He plugged up gaps pretty well, created lanes for the blitzers, generated some pressure, and wasn't blown off the ball or pancaked. Kaufusi, on the other hand, was a total liability out there. There were a number of plays where I saw him getting manhandled and it affects more than just the DL when that happens. The coaches should have recognized that.

So now you guys are still calling for him to get fired? It's a colossal waste of breath. He is not getting fired. Deal with it. We can agree to disagree on the GM but you sound completely unintelligent suggesting Herndon looks like a future all pro. He’s having an excellent rookie season and I hope it happens but to suggest that after one season- go call WFAN overnight with that nonsense.

Let me be clear, the guy is a Jet now, so I hope he works out. I hope you are right, and I am wrong. And I appreciate that the "draft guys" may have liked him, thats fine, for what it's worth. I simply don't see it. And given the Maccrecord (get it, Track Record + Macc = Maccrecord....damn I make myself lol ) I have a hard time seeing a guy who appears to my eyes to be a very material reach type pick working out, for no other reason than Macc liked him, and Macc....well, his evaluations warrant cynicism. But I hope you're right, for no other reason than maybe we won;t have to spend another 3 draft picks in 2019 searching for that elusive "pass rush" we spend so much capital trying (and failing) to get.

Lee is not a good example of a guy who was poor and then suddenly was really good. Also Lee as a 3rd year player is younger than the guy we drafted from a small school last year. To be fair, while what you said about Lee is correct, he is the perfect example of Bowles/Rogers not using a player correctly. He is exactly the type of player who should be chasing plays, covering in space, blitzing etc. Yet Bowles and Rogers insist on putting him in position to get blown out of running plays by C/G who out weigh him by 75 lbs.

By your account every team in nfl can’t draft because most draft picks unless it’s a 1st don’t see field that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a 22-23 year old guy you can say, hey learning curve, he has the physical part he will learn in time. By the time he learns he will be 28 and unless he looks really good then teams will look to replace him. Yep. Same time frame, profile, and draft capital as Pouha, and look what a bust he turned out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus, he doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt on the Shepherd pick. Produce or GTFO at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 Yeah, Adams was an even bigger bust last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetscrazey Posted December 28, 2018 Share Posted December 28, 2018 I think it's safe to say at this point drafting in the early rounds is the worst aspect of having Maccagnan as GM. Especially rounds 2-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pouha came from a much higher level of competition and was an exception. Most people agree he was an exception at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt39 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Listening to Bart Scott right now, basically said Shepherd isnt liked in the locker room (paraphrasing) Bart is actually good on the air. This show is a lot better without Maggie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Give the kid some time it not like he even came from a top football college. What it is, IMO, is a lot of sour grapes about Mac not getting fired. We have to slam Mac at every turn; go after every decision in order to justify the anger. The funny thing is that Shepard will likely not turn out to be a bad pick. And, there are way more picks to harp on. But, hey, soon enough we will be able to complain about the HC we select (or didn't select).
