Popular Post jmat321 Posted August 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2019 It's been a decade of Defense, Defense, Defense in JetLand. Done with it. The team isn't winning the Super Bowl this year. Really do not see the point of wasting draft capital or decent players under contract for 3rd tier dbs. I'd rather see the team go long with Offense for once. We finish 6-10, but our young QB improves, I'm fine with it. Rather that than limp to 8-8 while giving up mid round picks for a guy who won't be on the team in 2 years. 9 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 If the offense is actually keeps us IN GAMES, it won't be as big a worry. No matter how good our defense has been in the past few years it hasn't really mattered. Since the other side of the ball could never be guaranteed to put up many points. So I am not as worried about the CB situation as I would have been before Sam arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don't want the Jets to invest draft capital in any players who will not stick around long term. So that means no players about to his FA, no players who are in their 30s, nobody who we are renting for a couple of years- offense or defense. Makes no sense to me. I get that the Jets may want to bring in a vet WR or O-lineman for Darnold to help develop him. But if they bring in a vet WR that means they will have to, in all likelihood, cut a young WR like Burnett or Dortch. If they bring in a vet O-lineman, that guy will have to very soon be replaced. Those kinds of guys need to be brought in via FA before the draft IMO, and need to be quality players still in their prime. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CanadienJetsFan Posted August 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2019 There shouldn’t be any sort of expectation win-wise from this team this year because: A) Sam is only in his second year and has to learn an entire new system to boot; B ) it’s Gase first year as well...he’s permitted some time to build his Vision of a winning culture, I hope; C) Douglas got hired like 2 weeks ago, it’s not really his team.

Popular Post Patriot Killa Posted August 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’m worried. It’s 2019 and more of a passing league than ever before. Cornerback is a premium position and you will absolutely get gashed trying to play rookie UDFA’s at #1 and #2. We at least need more experience and in turn maybe some reliability back there because right now we have none. Kyron and Arthur have never even played a significant snap in this league yet. I’m absolutely worried. I’m not saying trade a premium pick but Darryl Roberts is our best corner right now. That’s sickening. 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ll get gashed to an even higher extent if we trotted out and started who we have right now.blowing coverage assignments is one thing — and that will happen with these inexperienced guys but they’re rookie UDFA. The better WR’s of the league are going to FEAST on our corners in the technical aspect of it. They know how to make a corner stutter and get caught flipping his hips too late or faking him out on the route. There’s just a ton of exposing to be made by someone like OBJ when he’s across from Kyron Brown lol.

Integrity28 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Not really. I’ve said it before, this is a QB league. Even the bad ones get 300 yards passing in many games. Defense should be built to create turnovers and occasional stops, giving our offense extra possessions. If by some chanvce your D can shut teams down, that’s nice, but it’s the anomaly - and shouldn’t be an expectation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup. We should not mortgage the future, but we should nto be giving up on the season either. 8 years of bad football is enough. I will not be content with another season where we are out of it by Thanksgiving. Or Halloween. Not saying we are a playoff team, but at the very least, we should be playing meaningful football in December. There are moves that can be made to improve the CB situation. Hoepfully Tru is ready and healthy for week 1 (and plays better than last year). I am not preapred to mortgage the future to trade premium picks for a vet who will get big $$ as well.

rex-n-effect Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Sure if our offense can outscore other teams we can get by without decent corners. Otherwise we at least need adequate corners plus a defensive system that minimizes their weaknesses. Any defense with an ineffective secondary is going to get killed in a pass-hungry league but at the same time we cannot rely on buying two good CBs and think they can put the entire defense on their shoulders. Douglas needs to improve the position this year and next but Williams also needs to scheme around the current staff. As the current defensive roster stands offenses will have trouble passing over the middle but without a great pass rush and questionable corners QBs will have time to wait for their receivers to beat the corners and hit long passes along the sidelines.

I’m sick of losing and don’t really buy into ignoring the position because of previous years. Darnold’s cheap rookie contract is on year 2 now. Le’Veon Bell and CJ Mosley are in their prime.

Jetsfan80 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Bad corners = quick offensive possessions for the opposing team = more possessions for Darnold.

JustInFudge Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I wouldnt say I dont care but I'm not chicken little about the situation. The Jags have the best CB duo in the league and they suck. We had Revis for years, still sucked. The league wants to score, every corner gets beat. The problem is, we dont have a pass rush either. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adoni Beast Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’m okay with Tru (under G. Williams), Daryl Roberts as #2, & Poole in slot, because I don’t think overall we are title contenders this year. This year is establishing Sam Darnold, a new system/culture, and trying to make the playoffs. If I felt we were a good corner away from winning it, I’d be up in arms about trading for a big name. My biggest concern is the lack of quality depth at cb Mac left us with. Douglas made a couple of moves, but there isn’t many to make. If he can trade a mid-late-rounder for a young corner with upside I’d be all for it and fee better about our chances of clinching a wild card this year. Save the big corner move (fa or draft) until next season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
