jetstream23 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 But Leggett was a Macc guy so this isn’t too surprising. Wait a minute, Herndon is also a Macc guy! Oh damn, so is Wesco!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GREENBEAN Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 What do we gain by cutting him vs. having him as a camp body for his minimal salary?I asked the same question. I don’t get it. I’m not really seeing the benefit of cutting a guy like Leggett at this point in the process. I’m not all that upset about it overall but I would think Legget has more contribution potential than Thomlinson. No?

Because we have four other TEs. Why waste having him take reps and a roster spot in camp when we can bring players that actually can make the team.

The guy has talent, he might need motivation but he seemed to be improving last year. Someone asked why we dont want Gase as GM? Here is a good reason-he has no investment in or knowledge of the current players and yet he is cutting them. We have too many TEs that aren't good. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmhertz Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Dumb move, I want to give Peepers a chance as coach but we really need to sign a highly regarded GM pronto. "Lazy Legget" made significant improvement as a blocker last year. One week towards the end of the year PFF rated him as one of the three best Jets of that week. As a receiver he caught one short pass. Tomlinson was mediocre as a blocker, a penalty machine and a clumsy oaf. Between Wesco & Tommy we now have two lead footed TEs. The former Falcon TE from Stanford who recently signed with another team, was a more efficient blocker than Tom not so terrific and a 6'8'' redzone target, which he was proficient at in college. Macsh*thead should have been shot before he was fired for using one of his few draft picks on Wesco in the fourth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterChiefJets Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I'm a bit surprised at this move but not the end of the world. Gase is certainly ignoring the "interim" part of his position and going right to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCJet Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Jordan Leggett is an absolutely perfect example of how Mac has no feel for the draft at all. He traded down 4 times in the middle rounds of the 2017 Draft, while needing WRs and a TE. He not only whiffed on both WRs, but George Kittle went 4 spots before Leggett. Now obviously the whole league missed how good Kittle could be, thats not my point. My point is that rather then trading down when we knew we needed a TE, Mac had his choice between 3 TEs. Kittle - scouting report was that his floor is an elite blocker and his athleticism was underrated. Jake Butt - coming off an injury, but a second round talent if healthy. Jordan Leggett - an underachiever, who had good numbers but had questionable football character Well, Butt went at pick 145, Kittle 146 and Leggett at 160. If you can fill the role of blocking TE with a guy who also was possibly underused in college but comes from a pro system, just take him. There can't be a single GM that would have preferred Leggett over Kittle and yet due to absurd trade downs, we missed him. As an aside, only 1 TE went in the 3rd round and only 4 TEs went in the entire draft after these 3 guys (only one in the 5th), so its pretty clear that Leggett was the last guy left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drafted Leggett the same year we got morton who was a pass heavy offensive coordinator. My guess he wanted all the pass catchers he could get and didn't favor a blocking tight end.

Next on the list of guys he needs to throw out, Chris Johnson. I think Gase is trying to get rid of lazy mother ****ers... Exhibit A: Darren Lee... Heavy gamer... suspended for weed (you need to get caught numerous times before the 4 game suspension), was always caught out of position, chasing people down... gave up huge yardage by not communicating coverage... Exhibit B: Leggett... known lazy player from college to the pros... he is now in his 3rd year and has not even been able to crack the starting roster on a team that was desperate for pass catchers...

varjet Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 We will truly appreciate how bad Mac’s drafting was. Gase has no incentive to keep around bad players that Mac drafted. We will also truly appreciate how crazy Gase is. We are in a race to the bottom. Mac as a very bad drafter. Gase in Miami aggressively ran out players. I predict this is a one year, sloppy regime. 3 years left on the Darnold rookie contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
