Popular Post Jetster Posted August 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2020 There are so many WHAT IFS regarding our Jets this year, but let's not forget how well our VERY YOUNG Dline played last year. Guys get better in this league with experience. These guys have the same coaches this year. Shepard, Foley Fat, Phillips, QW, and the old man McClendon encouraging their growth. When was the last time the Jets had a young group like that? JD is doing the same thing with the backfield, with a couple of vets sprinkled in like McDouglad & Poole. The Dline, just based on youth & more experience could develop into an awesome group, especially if QW makes a leap & justifies being the 3rd pick in the 2019 draft. We are a very young team & while many here's just look at the season as a throw away, I look at it as just a wide open competition to compete & a good chance we could have some real risers in the NFL. Just look at the difference in size on offense at WR. Perriman & Mims + the return of Chris Herndon. That's Night & day from a skinny 9 route runner that couldn't work short inside routes, plus we still have Crowder whose an awesome slippery Slot WR. With just a slightly better run game these guys could be difficult to defend with Bell out of the backfield. Im not nearly down on this year as many are here. Jets come out & shock Buffalo the AFC East is up for grabs as far as I'm concerned. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UntouchableCrew Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 IDL is probably the best unit on the team. We'll stuff the run -- still don't have an edge rusher. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BCJet Posted August 9, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 9, 2020 Foley, QW, Shepherd and even Phillips are all in a position to make sizable jumps this season and make our DL a legitimate force this season. Ive put this in other threads, but the ability to stop the run with only 3 DL is a huge advantage for GW as it gives him flexibility to play nickel as our base defense, which helps out the lack of an elite CB, and still stop the run. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32EBoozer Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Was watching Jets/Ravens yesterday. Crowder kept us in the game (6-90 & 2 TD). We had some opportunities to hang with them but turnovers and missed FG gave Ravens short field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravens pushed RA around that whole game. Let's pray Mims is a star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree about PI but he had both hands on the ball, Steve Smith brings that bitch in. I just have this feeling Mims will be like a bigger Steve Smith, where he's like, "that ball is my ball". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted August 9, 2020 Author Share Posted August 9, 2020 Bottom line with the Jets is if these draft picks shine which for SOME TEAMS (Saints 2017), WHY NOT US? If Bechton, Mims, Davis stand out Jets will be looking good going into 2021 draft with all that capital. Plus, if the cap is much lower, agents know what they have to work with so SIGNING EARLY might be imperative. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Remember a few years ago when we would top the run then get killed on the wheel route? So we let Demario Davis go and let him make All Pro on the Saints. We Adams and Maye we did get better on the wheel route. So basically the Jets will do really well against the run, but they will get killed in the air because they can't rush the passer or defend at least the intermediate routes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Running down the roster this team doesn’t have any exceptional areas but it is solid with depth at every position save outside receiver. Solid backups at every position. Everything will come down to the OL. I’ve never seen five new starters at all five positions but each guy should be an upgrade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They all have experience except Bechton & Clark. Can Bechton be an outlîer though that just steps in & starts crushing people? I mean the guy is not normal. He looked downright in shape DURING the draft & has come into camp ready to go. If he has get off & power at that size I just can't see us struggling in short yardage. He's got like 80 Lbs on most DEs. That is a lot of beef! Plus he likes to finish guys, hates getting beat. Fant has played in wide splits, our new Center has experience, Lewis is a mauler, I mean, I see us max protect early, lot of runs, and posting up Mims & Perriman with Crowder and Herndon working over the middle & the seams. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously potential is what we have going for us. If Bell is in better shape without coming in after a year off, he's a very good RB & an excellent receiver out of the backfield. Herndons return is huge & in 2018 he was the best young TE in the AFC East. Maybe Perriman finally GOT IT, it happens in the NFL, some guys need more time. You know Crowder is gonna get open, just look at his game vs the Ravens (no shleps on D), They lose nothing in protection for Sam when Gore comes in as both he & Bell are top notch blockers. The wildcard is Mims. He is a tough SOB, very determined WR, and if he learns quickly & gets on the same page with Sam we could see some exciting YAC from him. I read all of these articles that the Jets cuppard is bare & I say BS. Like you stated, if this line can gel early, a 100% healthy Sam with a good understanding of the playbook can do some damage with this group. Fans talk like this is Sanchez with David Nelson, David Clowney & Greg Salas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
