JetNation Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 In what figures to be a very long and busy couple of days as the Jets trim their roster from 90 to 53, the first casualty of cut downs is third-year running back Elijah McGuire. Jets have cut RB Eli McGuire, per source. Not a surprise… but another Mike Maccagnan draft pick is gone. — Manish Mehta (@MMehtaNYDN) August 30, 2019 McGuire’s chances of sticking around for a third season were undone by the re-signing of veteran back Bilal Powell and the recent emergence of special teams speed demon Trenton Cannon. The post Jets Begin Cutting Down to 53, Eli McGuire is First to go appeared first on JetNation.com (NY Jets Blog & Forum). Click here to read the full story...

Nixhead Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Cant see how they cut McGuire? Its not like he averaged 1.5 yards per carry. Its not like he couldn't break thru arm tackles. Its not like he couldn't make that first defender miss every time. Its not like he couldn't bulldoze for that xtra yard when needed. Oh I guess it was like those things. See Ya!

jetstream23 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Just now, DLJ said: Cannon should be gone too Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Not quite yet IMO. He has played pretty well at RB in preseason, certainly better than McGuire....and he adds a dimension as a returner. I'd hang on to him for now pending other cuts.

He’s ******* awful as a RB, he’s only good on STs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undersized at 185 lbs, but he's looked better this year than last year as a rookie. I'm not saying he's great, but I'm saying he should stick as the RB4 over McGuire. Cannon's last two preseason games showed a little versatility, gaining 68 yards on 10 carries (6.8 YPC) and 5 receptions. He does enough to stick on a roster like this given that versatility and that he's still growing as a player in Year 2 under better coaching.

Before he just ran into bigger guys. And he is a stone cold killer on ST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Harper Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 McGuire has had a remarkably bad YPC in preseason and over his career. And he doesn’t play special teams. Easy choice. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I remember that run. He was clocked at like 21 mph. Thought we might of had something with him at that point but that will probably be the highlight of his career.

Stump Mitchell was a heck of a KR (or PR - I forget which. Maybe both). EDIT: I thought he was a heck of a pass catching RB too but I realized I was confusing his pass catching abilities with Larry Centers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers9 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Maybe Douglas was just giving McGuire a better chance to sign with another team. By cutting him early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
