JetNation Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 So Jets fans woke up to the news of the addition of another big time player in free agency as Mike Maccagnan and company have reportedly agreed to terms with former Baltimore Ravens linebacker CJ Mosley. This, after the team agreed with former Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr to man the edge in Gregg Williams’ defense. This gives the Jets a defense that consists of Pro Bowl and All-Pro alternate Jamal Adams at safety, Barr and Mosley who have been to four Pro Bowls apiece, Leonard Williams who has seen one Pro Bowl as an alternate in 2016, the stellar Avery Williamson, and another young defender in safety Marcus Maye, who becomes somewhat of an X-factor. Jamal Adams suddenly finds himself as the leader of a potentially dominant defensive unit. Maye has played just two seasons in Green and White but saw his sophomore season marred by injuries as he missed a total of ten games. As a player who missed time in college just a couple of seasons ago, there are concerns as to whether or not Maye’s durability will be an issue for the long-term. If not, and Maye is able to shake the injury bug and stay on the field, he could legitimately form one of the better safety tandems in the NFL with Adams while the young linebackers up front will look to create havoc. With a slew of proven Pro Bowlers added to the roster, one can’t help but wonder what the Jets defense would look like with a healthy Maye if they were to add a stud defender such as Quinnen Williams or Josh Allen with the third overall pick in April’s draft.

Jets723 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Agreed. We missed him last year. Maye and Enunwa need to stay healthy, if they do it’s a major boost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetmech Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Agree, Maye showed he could play FS before so you would expect him to match it moving forward.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The12th Man Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Very well written article. I don’t think you’ll find many that oppose it’s premise. When Maye is healthy and running around back there, on paper at least. Our defense has to be top 8. (Assuming we Draft an Edge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joenamathwouldn'tcry Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Marcus Maye when healthy is a harder hitter than Jamal Adams, and that's no slight on Adams. I felt he was one of the hardest hitters at his position in football his rookie season. I was disappointed in him last year, because of the injuries. Time to get healthy. If he can do that, it's on.

rangerous Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 maye is a good player it's too bad he's been bit by the injury bug. here's to hoping he grows out of it, soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR24 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Maye and Trumaine are the key pieces to this defense this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0mShane Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Counterpoint: Maye is a replacement grade safety who’s always injured and it’s irrelevant if he comes back or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naturalscience Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Maybe Maye may not be an all world player but he does appear to play his position well. Seems to be a team player. If he can stay healthy he's a solid contributor. Seems durability in the defensive backfield is fading attribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Jackson was a 4th round pick. It not surprise me to see Mac/Williams draft a true deep safety 3rd round and below as a long term replacement.
