Popular Post Lith Posted September 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 Had been interning with the team through the summer. Now part of the Coaching Staff. No way of knowing, but seems like a good hire. And, I always like seeing another Bulldog on the team. 15 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State NY Jets fan Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Surprised Kevin Greene did not land somewhere - he seemed good too I guess being a good player does not always translate or maybe it's just not worth it if you have that much $$ in the bank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJet Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Nice addition to the coaching staff. Great player although I hated him, probably could have gotten a shot on most teams....he must like the coaching room here. Name recognition from our young guys will command respect. Hopefully he becomes a great influence on a guy like Robby. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Lith Posted September 2, 2019 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2019 What I like about Ward is he was not the most physically gifted of guys. Just worked his ass off to make himself a top tier NFL receiver. If he can help impart some of that work ethic around the little things he did so well -- toughness, route running, blocking. The guy made himself into a top NFL receiver. Hopefully he can do the same with some of our young guys. 9 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 Ward earned the job. Watching him this summer he didn't come in as a entitled former player, he did the dirty work of an assistant and offered advice when needed 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 He was mentioned a fair bit at camp for an intern. I think he can bring a lot to the team and great Gase/Douglas are giving him a shot. Ex players do not always translate into great coaches but this guy has a lot of real nfl career experience to draw on. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 This is awesome. I figured he was still in shape. Maybe this is why we let Burnett, Dortch, etc. go? Do you think he splits time with Enunwa. Hines Ward will be a great WR3/4. uhhh....wut? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The Jets aren’t just looking to upgrade their roster as the season approaches as Adam Gase made former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward a permanent member of his coaching staff. Gase announces that Hines Ward has been added to the coaching staff as an offensive assistant. Ward had been working as a coaching intern in camp. #Jets — Dennis Waszak Jr. (@DWAZ73) September 2, 2019 Ward had been working with the team during the preseason but has now been added as an offensive assistant. The post Jets add Hines Ward to Coaching Staff appeared first on JetNation.com (NY Jets Blog & Forum).

jetstream23 Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 14 minutes ago, Apache 51 said: Falling out with the Steelers? Who knows...it's a coaching position, maybe the Steelers didn't really have a spot for him or maybe it casts a bit of a shadow having such a recent successful WR there coaching your new WRs. That can be awkward or put pressure on guys to "do it the way Hines did it, man!" I'm just glad we got him. He seems like a solid coach and good human being, even if he walked the line in being chippy as a player on the field. He was tough, smart, and good as a WR. It does say something that he's here along with Bell. Becoming pretty clear to me that Le'Veon Bell should have never been grouped with Antonio Brown as a potential "me first" head case. Bell has come across as a very smart, hard-working guy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More Cowbell Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 The thing I will always remember about Ward as a player was when he blocked you, I looked like a S hitting a WR, not a WR hitting a S. If he imparts that toughness to our team, I'm all in on this hire. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LBs and safeties used to running around free hunting WR's TEs and RBS suddenly got a taste of their own medicine and were all pissy about it. Essentially the blind side block rule came into effect due to ward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watch football sports shows and everybody, OLD SCHOOL STEELERS, have a problem with to one degree or another Mike Tomlin. Many think that Tomlin is a knowledgeable HC but that he runs to loose a ship. It seems Terry Bradshaw and Hines were the key ones to speak publicly..

HelenOfTroy Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 There is a lot going on with the Steelers and their former players. Troy P. has not shown up for any franchise functions he’s been invited to, and when he was inducted into the Polynesian HOF, he did not mention the Steelers at all, just his college years and his team while at USC. Bad blood, even with Troy...that says something to me. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mentioned the Steelers by name, simply referenced his NFL career, no mention of the franchise. There was six months of celebration between the announcement and induction which included interviews, appearances and filming on campus leading up to the formal dinner. Never once mentioned the Steelers. Odd from someone as loyal as Troy, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
