GREENBEAN Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Just watching the clock tick on the Ravens season here and trying to avoid my Baltimorian wife. Stumbled on this short vid of Bray Bray and dreamt of what might have been. Let's hope we get a big #1 WR in here very soon.

jetsons Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Braylon Edwards as a #1 WR... meh... he dropped more passes than he made plays... I would Prefer a modern day Al Toon or Wesley Walker. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Beerfish Posted January 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 12, 2020 Wut? Braylon was very good for us but the amnesia around here about Brandon Marshall is just brutal.

Scoop24 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Being that there’s good chance the top 3 OL could be off the board when we pick. I hope We take Lamb or Higgins and don’t go reaching . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYJ1 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 The Jets have had a lot of good receiving tandems. But the idea of having a true number 1 receiver is overrated and isn't really needed. Lav Coles and Jerricho Cotchery were an excellent tandem and really didn't have a true number 1. The last time the Jets had a true number 1 was Keyshawn Johnson. Key paired with Wayne Chrebet was a real nuisance for a DC. It was pretty much pick your poison. Key would always get doubled and Chrebet would kill single coverage. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetsFanatic Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Edwards was great for us and had a great chemistry with Sanchez, of course brainiacs Tannebaum and Ryan let him walk as a free agent. Even though Edwards did not do much after leaving the Jets, his value was greater to us than other teams. Same could be said for Brad Smith. Then they wonder why a young QB that won 4 playoffs games on the road went south. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickzNY Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Marshall and Decker was a hell of a tandem. Unfortunately we got them at the end of their careers. Keyshawn and Chrebet also were a good tandem. We’ve had some good receiver tandems in the past. Just wish we would go back to that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I meant by "dreaming of what might have been" That offseason was the worst and we have never recovered. I can remember being excited for that 2011 FA craziness after the hold up with CBA. Sitting at my desk watching the Jets squander the whole team for the idea of pairing Revis with Nnamdi Asomugha. We had a team of high character guys like Ellis, Cotch, Smith, Thomlinson etc that could keep Holmes in check. We let most of them go and watched as we brought in scumbag after scumbag. Sure the Decker/ Marshall year was great but that was a flash in the pan during a decade os almost total sucktitude. Could Douglass actually get us a damn team to be proud of???? Tee Higgins would be good start if we can't grab a T at #11. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think #1 WR, I don't need to have that guy who dominates the offense touch count.It CAN be, but not required by me. Just a 6'3" guy with speed, hands and an aggressive use of his own body to let everyone know the ball is his would do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craay craay I believe Braylon had had some prior problems with alcohol and couldn't always be trusted to keep it together off the field. It was a very stupid move to let him go and keep the other clown from Pittsburgh who was nothing but trouble on the field. Edwards seemed to disappear and I think the stigma was that since the Jets let him go there must be something wrong? We retained homes because Rex what's an egotist that believed if anybody ever beat him the guy must be great. What a meatball! Braylon was actually a really cool dude and if you remember he was one of the original Fear the Beard guys LOL! to that I will say I also would like to see Tee Higgins as a JET. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lith Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 There is more than one way to build an offense. You can win with a stable of 3 or 4 solid receivers but no true #1. I actually prefer this approach, because you can't take away 3 or 4 weapons, but a good defense can limit an O if it is too reliant on one guy. Crowder is the only proven guy under contract. We will need to sign a guy or 2 in FA -- either our own (Robby depending on his contract ask), or another solid vet that you can count on for 40-50 catches and 500-600 yards. Hopefully we can find a 1st or 2nd round guy who can come in and contribute immediately who will not have to carry an offense. If we can go into the season with Robby, Crowder, Rookie, Berrios and Smith that is not a bad group. And if Berrios or Smith are not the answer and we need to bring back D Thomas on a one-year deal, I could live with that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on his way to that 40-50 catches, 500-600 yards wish you stated earlier before he kept getting nicked up. If he can be healthy, I think he's a no-brainer. I would love to grab Tee Higgins at #11 if JD doesn't think the OL value is there at the time. On another issue, where do you see Frohm going in April, 2nd-3rd rd? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I went over to say hi to LC, he saw the jersey and already had a huge smile on his face. He loved Wayne. He and Cotch were special, no doubt. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmat321 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Edwards’ knee was shot. Wasn’t there a rumor he was getting the needle on a regular basis in 2010? Couldn’t catch on with Harbaugh or Carroll, probably some truth to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude was cool as hell and totally down to earth. We talked ball the whole night mostly Jets and not at one point did he make me feel like a goober for it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
