Actually why? I think it’s an important topic and to get on record. Let’s see what people actually know. Really. Cast your vote.

Your reminder that the best positive explanation for the meager statistics Jamal Adams puts up is that he’s playing linebacker.

I prefer the term "defensive weapon".

[Vader]

I understand Adams is a controversial topic. But let’s all as a Jets community understand the player and topic. Where does Adams line up usually presnap. 
 

sorry that this is a real football question 

[Jetsfan80]

He lines up anywhere except for positions of importance. Does that answer the question?

[TnT]

Wait...I don’t see an option for...”moneybacker”

[BurnleyJet]

There are so many here who suffer from ADS.

Adams Derangement syndrome.

This is an excellent question and relates directly to an article I'm writing at the moment regardind Jamal and Ashtyn Davis.  If Davis can cover the amount of ground in coverage that an elite free safety can, why not let Adams focus even more on playing in the front 7 where he does his best work?

Even as somebody who has always defended Jamal and said he's better in coverage than many give him credit for, coverage is not where he makes big plays.  Have him around the line as much as possible to get the most out of him and of course you can still deploy him in coverage from time to time, but the more he's around the LOS, the better this defense is IMO.  The biggest concern is his size and whether or not he could bulk up w/o losing a half step.

Oh, you're literally just asking where he physically lines up on the field?  The easy answer is all over the place, but he lines up most frequently in the box at a variety of LB spots and about half as much time lined up as a free safety with another 150 or so snaps in the slot.  Also a few snaps lined out wide but not many.

This is pure North Korean stuff, a closed poll on Jamal Adams where the only voter is @T0mShane

You could be right, they sure aren’t playing Maye.

[Vader]

He typically lines up on the weak side of the formation.

Moreso it’s the frustrating lack of facts surrounding the Jamal Adams debate.

No need for such comments. This is a real football conversation about which inconsequential position Jamal Adams actually plays.

[Arsis]

Adams lines up in your dreams waking and nocturnal . Adam's lives in your head rent free and lines up outside your bathroom for his morning piss.

 

[HawkeyeJet]

The best thing about this from the OP is he's trying to Dunk on people by flexing his football IQ but doesn't realize he doesn't really have much.

ILB is one of the few positions he doesn’t play

He lines up all over the field.

Never as an ILB

If you need help with that you really shouldn't start polls.
