Maxman Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Bellamy looked good vs the Eagles with 5 catches for 52 yards. He looked like a guy that could fill in if you need him. When they have two injured wideouts, that kind of game. Peake never seemed like he would help receiving wise but was great on special teams. So did Bellamy take Peake's spot based on week 4 in the preseason? Or was this decision made before that? What do you think? 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets haven't seriously looked at Peake as a WR for 2 years... He's been decent on ST, but that should be in addition to, in most cases. But he had the Macc hall pass. My only problem is, Bellamy, Dortch, Crowder.... there's some redundancy there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of people said they would both make the team, I don't see how you can keep two receivers who are limited though. So the move makes sense.

Present Brass had no ties to Peake. He would have to have shown something to beat out Bellamy, not the other way around. Burnett was competing against Dortch i imagine too. It's just too bad we don't have someone being grooming at X or Z to take over if something happens. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So did Bellamy take Peake's spot based on week 4 in the preseason? Or was this decision made before that? What do you think?This is actually something that I've been thinking of writing. It's a change in philosophy, from chasing home runs to opting for safer doubles. Macc had a tendency to chase home runs in the draft where Baltimore/Philly tend to chase doubles for depth. So a guy like Bellamy, who is great on ST, while being decent as a WR is a known double. A guy like Peake is a pure home run chase. If Peake puts together the WR part, he's a monster, but you don't know if he can.Same with Parry Nickerson, where the allure of potential makes you excuse the issues. It's also why I thought Winovich was the choice over Polite, but I have to say I'm surprised by that cut. Anyway, I might try to put something together on the change in roster building culture if I have time on Monday. It sucks because as fans, most are addicted to chasing home runs. The moment a Nickerson is picked, we go "oh boy, if he puts it together" dreams. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nico002 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Didn’t we give Bellamy a 2 year contract with a bunch of money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TokyoJetsFan Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Gase and Douglass both knew Bellamy from Chicago. If it’s a tie it will go to who they are more comfortable with maybe? Or you can say the other guy Peake-d out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetmech Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Bellamy showed why Gase likes him. No nonsense, knows his role and comes to play.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellamy showed something as a WR. Peake never did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dortch may have taken Burnett's since Dortch is the 2nd string slot WR and though smaller is faster. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
