Beerfish Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Jamal Adams envisions 'special' duo with C.J. Mosley Print By Kevin Patra Around the NFL Writer Published: April 10, 2019 at 07:53 a.m. The addition of C.J. Mosley unquestionably upgrades the New York Jets. Safety Jamal Adams has an ambitious goal for himself and the linebacker to reach: A Ray Lewis, Ed Reed-level. "It's exciting, it's crazy," Adams said, via the team's official network. "I'm not comparing us to them, but in a way, I'm saying it can be something special like that. And when I say that, I mean Ray Lewis and Ed Reed. That's the first thing that came in my mind and I hit him (Mosley) up. I told him we can do something special just like those guys if we put our minds to it and just keep working, stay humble and keep our faith. That's what I'm looking forward to." Different players. Different teams. Different eras. LATEST ANALYSIS ▶ Burning draft question for each team ▶ Biggest changes in AFC East ▶ Casserly mock: Pats go QB ▶ Davis: 31 players deserve Round 1 grade Comparing Adams and Mosley to Hall of Famers Reed and Lewis would be an aimless endeavor at this point. There is no comparison other than they play the same positions. And yet, it's foolish for Adams' goal to be anything but the best -- professional athletes can't operate otherwise -- so targeting the likes of Reed and Lewis as an example for himself and Mosley to build on seems natural. Adams knows the addition of Mosley, a very good player but not revolutionary like Lewis, alone won't propel the Jets from mediocre to dominant. It will take a lot more grit and talent to make that jump. "We're getting there, brick by brick," he said. "We just have to keep stacking, keep working and have the team continue to get closer to each other because that's what it's about. As long as you have a good locker room, good guys in there, guys that want to win, guys that are eager to win and a coaching staff that is very talented that we have, you can't get any better. So when you add it all together, it's going to be special." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I got very excited when I saw the thread title, but then I read the actual quotes and Adams didn’t say anything wrong here. One quibble, though: in this scenario, he’s Dawan Landry, not Ed Reed. Adams could become Dawan Landry, so, double bonus for him today. You go, Jamal Adams.

IndianaJet Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Oh my god. One of our players is striving to raise his level of play to that of an all time great. How DARE he want to become the best of the best! Next thing you know, he's going to express his desire to win games and - gasp! - even the SuperBowl. He should know better than that.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Just now, peebag said: yep, he did. On a 4-12 team. Khalil Mack's record on the Raiders was 28-28 therefore he isn't that good. The only player you judge by their record is a QB. You stick the best defensive player or offensive lineman or WR on the Jets last year and they still have a losing record.

rangerous Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 so did adams ever say anything remotely the same with darren lee? thought not. the jets upgraded the lb position and by doing this may have also helped the ss position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since you brought it up. What type of $$ you rhink jamal is going to demand when his rookie deal is up ? Will he hold out if jets slap tag on him ? I feel mevis set a bad example here, he got paid huge here, after pulling the hold up basically twice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENBEAN Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 no chance. unless people only read the thread titleI know. It’s terrible that he should be quoted saying he needs to keep working hard and wants to take the initiative to be great. I can totally see how people hate that. The haters really need to check themselves on their actual motives. This is probably the weakest attempt to have an issue yet. The uni issues were/are funny but this is actually bordering sad.
