Jamal Adams "Arguably the best Safety in the League" Video Breakdown

[Villain The Foe]

It's clear that we need an appreciation/film breakdown thread for Jamal Adams because alot of Jets fans simply dont see what Adams provides to this team on the weekly basis and the fact that he's the best player on this team. 

The disrespect of this guy and what he brings to the table because of Macc's poor decision making is just insane. Before I seen folks knocking him as some sort of overrated or low impact guy <<<< @dbatesman , but now folks are taking shots at his all pro status. 

It's time for folks to let it go already with Watson and Mahomes and stop blaming this kid that has done nothing but become the best player on this team and the first all pro to be drafted in probably a decade+. 

We have our future offensive leader in Sam Darnold and we have our leader on defense in Adams. 

 

These videos are breakdowns of Adams performances against the Bills, Texans, Packers and Patriots. 

Enjoy one of just a couple of gems that we've drafted this entire decade.

That's f'ing hilarious! lol.

Don't take football stat breakdowns as totally dispositive; there's too much going on on every play to say Player X was the difference maker, nor doesn't account for the other players on the unit making a play or failing. Saw a breakdown that while Adams was among the 10 best safeties vs. the run, he was also among the bottom 10 in pass defense. As to the later, entirely possible the lack of a pass rush and the general awfulness of the rest of the other defenders might very well play a big part of that. Clearly he is very good against the run, but that isn't nearly as important as passing defense. Which is in large part because DBs generally and safeties especially are overhead roster filler under the PI rules. Shutdown corners no longer exist, and as to the jets' defense, they got beat every week by allowing QBs all day to find a receiver. After the 2.8 seconds, your DBs barely matter. And if anyone starts with telling a Jets fan that any DB hits hard, BFD. 

Simply mindboggling ANY team would take a safety in the first round, over a QB. But the 2017 Jets, a team without an offense, used their top 2 picks for safeties. Adams might be a great safety, but that's kinda the point; he's a safety.

Please provide one (1) example of anyone, at any time, accusing Jamal Adams of being a “low effort guy.”

Can you provide that breakdown? 

[Miss Lonelyhearts]

Does folks count twice if he says it twice? If so I got bingo over here.

[ASH1962]

LMAO this thread

More of the mouth being great where the rest of the body is not, which is what the NY Jets have been most famous for over the last decade - talk, talk and, more talk.

You want to be the best safety in the league? STFU, go out and beat the crap out of people every week, and win some god damn football games.

[EM31]

It is possible to be both high effort and low impact as the girlfriends of fellas with small equipment might concede on any given day of the week. 

[Beerfish]

Good thing he is such a game changer, this teams defense could have been rated 34th in the league instead of 29th if not for him.

We got rid of Damon  Harrison and brought in a 6th overall run stopper instead.

[Jet_Engine1]

Jamal is good, and a good locker room/culture guy.....but Derwin James is a much better safety for the modern game.

He was obviously going half speed when he tackled the Pats mascot at the Pro Bowl. 

[Peace Frog]

Jet fans dumping on Jamal Adams. 

Cant make sh*t this up. 

[Charlie Brown]

I wanted Mahomes but Adams is Great!!  The two truths are not mutually exclusive. 

Would I still have taken Maohomes, yep but so what we didn't and Adams is here now, no sense knocking the player cause Mac is was nuts!

While I don't disagree with the overall premise of shying away from a safety in the first unless that is the last piece or two you need on your D, when does the drat position wash away for this player?

Hey, I'm older too(not as quite your age I think). I get it. We have an old school mentality of handing the ball back to the ref after a TD and getting up after a tackle and walking back to the LOS without the dance. Jamal talks. So what man? He comes out every week and plays as hard or harder than every single player on the team. I might prefer the quiet type, but why does it bother so many that he talks?  If he didn't come out and play hard, and successfully that would be saying something. We should want 11 Jamal Adams' on D.

Great thread @Villain The Foe !

One of the aspects of the Jets we have been missing is that trust in great players. We had it with the Sack Exchange. We had it with Parcells LB corp. of Jones, Mo and Cox. We had it with Revis. When you knew your players were going to be smart and make the play.  Jamal Adams offers that. Problem has been Bowels/Rodgers idiotic D schemes and a lack of talent out there with him. I love Jamal Adams and I honestly believe he wants to be great and be on a great D. He loves the idea of CJ Mosely being out there with him and so do I.  

Getting Rid of Skrine and Lee and replacing them with Pool and Mosely respectively is going to be a sea change for this D. Quinnen Wiliams and Polite to the D line could be big too. Add to it that Williams actually knows how to call a D and make adjustments. 

I'm excited for this team and Jamal Adams is one of the reasons. I wonder how long it's going to take for guys to get over the draft selection aspect of this player.

3X the picks in half the time.  Almost as many sacks. FFs? LOL, if we wanted an OLB, should have drafted one. 

 

Derwin is a 6'2 DB that runs a 4.3. Jamal is good. Derwin is just.....better. it is what it is. 

[kdels62]

Jamal Adams is good in coverage. Like top 5 in the league in coverage.

I mean if it were 12 to 4 INT's your point about 3x would be interesting, but 3-1. Meh. I like how you refer to 3.5 as "almost as many" as 5.5 but 3 as 3 times as many as 1. Doesn't seem biased at all.

Jamal Adams has 100% more forced fumbles and fumble recoveries. Am I doing it right?

[BCJet]

Can someone explain the coverage behind Jama's blitz at the 2:40 mark of the film?

Adams blitzes hard and forces a quick throw, that actually should have been a completion to the FB, but no one rolls to cover the WR that he leaves vacant by blitzing?  Had the Bills picked Adams up, that WR is wide open.  What kind of defense was that?

Derwin is phenomenal but @Scoop24 does have a point. 

Just look at the talent that makes up that Chargers defense. 

1. Joey Bosa (Pro Bowler)

2. Melvin Ingram (Pro Bowler)

3. Casey Hayward (All Pro)

4. Desmond King (All Pro)

5. Adrian Phillips (All Pro)

 

Again, Derwin is a phenomenal talent, but how much easier must it be for him to do what he does when he has a pro bowl pass rusher, pro bowl linebacker 2 all pro cornerbacks and an all pro safety? 

The Chargers are able to maximize Derwin's talent and ability because they have top tier talent around him. The entire secondary are all pro players. The jets didnt even have a probowler on defense outside of Adams...let alone all pro players. 

Adams achieved his stats on one of the worst defensive teams in the league while the Chargers have a SB-type caliber defense. 

 

Compare that talent to what Jamal Adams is playing with. Derwin James is part of a great and talented defense. Jamal Adams carries that Jets defense.

A safety who can’t cover. That’s like taking a QB that can’t complete a 20 yard pass downfield.

Picking off a few passes wouldn’t hurt either. How about even 2 a season that way it would show he’s making progress in defending the pass.
