I agree.  Maybe I am reaching, but I wonder if all of the BS swirling about the team in the local and national media is helping pull the team together.  If that is the case, let Manish continue with his petty attacks on Gase, Woody and anyone else in green and white.

 

I could be wrong but I don't think they think about management etc. I think they just want to ball out.

1. He's done nothing on the field

2. He's hardly ever available to take the field. 

3. They drafted a TE.  And got one through FA

4. He's not a blocking TE, which they need

Injuries can wreck the depth at any position and Herndon will be out 2-4 games for his dui

Getting rid of him now wasnt because he had no talent so it could come back to bite the Jets

Got to assume Gase wanted to send a message - hope it was worth squandering the pick

So we should carry extra players just to be ready for injuries?  

Now what talent does he have that people keep talking about?  Seriously, hes shown nothing in two seasons.  

We have Herndon.  We drafted a TE.  We signed a FA TE. 

Is he better than N Sterling?

How many TEs do we need.  We have 5 on the roster.  Today.  At some point if you go through 5 TEs because of injury you just shake your head, you dont complain that we should have shortchanged another position for Leggett

Interesting.  Starting 11 was a 2-TE set with no Crowder.  Guess just starting with base package.

This thread was terrific today.

Big thanks to @Lith and the others who put up the info they did. Great to read, talk about football.

Gase runs a lot of two tight end sets .  They will keep 4 at least to start the season.  Tomlinson is a blocking tight end and will be cut unless Wesco gets injured.  Sterling is a receiver playing tight end that has has multiple concussions.  I see Herndon Wesco and the guy they signed off the Bears as making the team.  

The rest of these guys are fighting to be the fourth. Thats maybe 3 guys fighting for a slot , assuming no one was injured.  Leggett had as much talent as  them   Imo Gase decided to make an example of him for some reason

You're arguing just to argue.  We have more than enough TEs.  We have 5.  We don't need 6, we're not going to carry the 5. 

Want to argue that we should have kept him over a different TE that would be your best bet.  To argue that we need more than 5 is silly.

I don't think you're reaching.  This is what I sense is happening too.  This team isn't going to win the SB.  They won't even win the division.

But they have two very smart,  hard-ass coaches to strategize and crack the whip.   Some label this as "combustible."   And it could be, except the Jets have Sam Darnold.  When he plays well, and he will under Gase, this team will follow and it will all come together.

What if our OL can't protect him though?

I don’t argue just to argue.   Maybe that’s your thing, I don’t know.  Anyways this is my last attempt.

I went thru it slowly but you still didn’t get it. After cutting Leggett, we have 5 guys competing for 4 slots.  Tell me one other position where we only have one more guy in camp than what we expect to roster.  

To put it in simpler terms.   They currently have 90 guys on their roster.  That’s twice the active roster.   Besides the one extra tight end, where else are we “silly” and carrying too many players.

Anyone else really dig hearing Sam say the word aggressive a number of times when it comes to describing our offense?

D is more interesting - a 2-4 nickel package?

Rarely do my "Work" weekends ever seem to meet my expectations.... Especially if there is a good fishing spot or work needing to be done around the cabin.

Me too, his entire attitude is positive, ready to go, and "aggressive" comments are  supported with news of 40+ yard pass completions on day two - nice

with the drama, almost forget the Jets have an offensive (minded) coach, and will not care who he offends if we can watch this team score points at will

Sam.  Mic'd up.

Watching that video from yesterday, first player to catch my eye was #2.  First WR in the drill at the 6 min mark.  Looked it up.  Greg Dortch.  Jets might have found something

He's tiny. But this isn't the 90s NFL. Little guys can thrive with the new rules.

2nd session open to reporters is today.  I believe practice starts at 11.

I know this is nuts since it's only OTA's, but the first thing that this reminded me of was the story Parcell's told about the week of practice leading up to the Super Bowl with Buffalo. He thought the team was just practicing terribly, so he called LT over and told him to start a fight after the next play, to "get these guys going." He did, I think it was with Jumbo, and all hell broke loose. It worked, and supposedly, the rest of that practice, and the next couple were the best of the year.

1st 10 Questions to Be Asked at Today's Press Conference with Gase:

1. Is Bell's absence hurting the team?
2. How do you feel about Bell's absence in light of the team massively overpaying for his contract?
3. Have you told Chris which GM you want him to hire yet?
4. How does Bell feel about you firing the GM who signed him?
5. Have you spoken to Bell about the possibility of playing center?
6. Will Bell be at Mandatory Mini Camp Next Week?
7. How did Bell's absence impact Brexit and the recent EU Parliament Elections?
8. You signed a linebacker yesterday, do you think this was appropriate for someone who is only "acting" GM?
9. Quinnen Williams sat out OTA practice last week with a calf strain......do you regret drafting an injury prone player so high?
10. Will you be willing to give up control of the roster to the new GM or will the new GM merely be your puppet and crony doing your bidding?
