From reviewing the draft, I feel like Mims was the last good WR on the board (maybe Gandy-Golden or Peoples-Jones?) Mims went at #59 and the next WRs taken were by the Raider at #81 (Bryon Edwards) and Ravens at #92 (Devin Duvernay) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_NFL_Draft lol who gives a f**k. This is a team devoid of talent yet people are going to complain about Douglas trading down and STILL landing what will be a bonafide WR1?

I like JD and have been a big fan of this hire since day 1. The only reason I bring it up is that he put our chances of getting (maybe) the last quality WR in this draft in the hands of other teams (because he traded down). That's a pretty cavalier attitude considering how thin we are at WR without Mims (and even with him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he added more picks for a team that desperately needed to stock the shelves with talent out of that draft. He moved down and still won in the end. I'll take it. For once it's nice to be the lucky team in the draft for a change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we got an extra 3rd rounder from Seattle for moving down. That pick turned into Ashtyn Davis. I loved the pick in preseason but Davis hasn't done anything so far. We'll see how it turns out.

I don't think that's a fair assessment regarding his effort - unless you understand Baylor's offense and their assignments, it's not an obvious critique. He was beast in run blocking and he made every contested/clutch catch 3rd and 8? MIMS 4th and 4? MIMS 20 seconds left on the clock, no time outs, gotta get 14 to give the kicker a chance. MIMS You misunderstand me. I am not comparing Mims to Preston. Only the situation of having concerns that can best be clarified through means other than film. I am saying that only interviewing Mims and his coaches could provide the answers to my questions. I saw him run block very well when he wanted to. What I love best about his game is his hand fighting and the subtle push off he uses. I also saw what looked to me like he was disinterested sometimes, running slow "lazy looking" routes. Maybe it was that he was playing knicked up? It also could be, as you say, not understanding his actions and movements off the ball in the context of Baylor's offense.

I mean the only thing that matters is what happens on the field, right? FWIW, Mims looked good to me. I'm not ready to anoint him. Jeff Smith has regressed to what I expected. Horrible catch rate, does seem to get open at times. Issues with his route running. Little bit numbskull. Potential and this is a good year to have him on the field. Odd one to me is Vyncint Smith. He was on the team last year and got run. He has been back for two weeks. I don't know why he is seeing so few snaps. They were supposedly counting on him to take up some of the Anderson slack. He hasn't even played 10 snaps on offense yet. I know the team may have been optimistic, but did anybody expect him to have less catches than tackles at this point of the season? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not going to say you're imagining things because i haven't seen what you're eluding to. And yea, depending on the play called, it may impact what he's expected to do.. I dunno. There's an element to his game (beyond just being a bonafide natural at the position) that really stood out to me, and stole the show from my boi Jalen Hurd - and that was his ability to make big plays when it counted the most. That's not gonna pop when you're watching cut up game film... it's the stadium vibe and the nerves of all the players on the field He's the real deal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He killed it in college, had the best contested catch rate, the film was stellar, character is high, tested well at combine and most importantly - totally owned the senior bowl; was talked about as one of the best players on the field period. don't over think this one folks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it from the vernon gholston fan club the athletic freak hill is not the hill you want to die on pass rush is often about saavy, hustle and motor *** BTW regarding Mims he was targeted 7 times for those 4 catches (same 7 and 4 as Berrios). A couple of those were on Sam Herndon is taking alot of crap around here the dude had 1 target which he caught for a first down and was brought back for holding George Fant was an abortion at RT and Sam sux but again I'd say the worst part of the offense is the play design and calling the Jets ran heavy in obvious 3rd and short, 4th and short situations when everyone knew it was coming 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Rookies need reps. That’s what it’s all about now. Get these guys healthy, get them on the field, and let them play a lot. Less Gore, more Perine. Less McDougald, more Davis. Becton is a given. If Mims is healthy he should be playing every O snap. Cam Clark should be worked in as long as he isn’t a liability. Would really like to see Zuniga and Hall get at least a couple games before the end of the season. And, why not let Morgan play a fourth quarter in some of these games where the Jets are getting blown out? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlue Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 11 hours ago, joewilly12 said: Denzel Mims looked decent yesterday get him a franchise QB and things will only get better. I agree. He was a little rusty, which is to be expected but as the game wore on he started to get more comfortable. I know he was shut out in the second half but I attribute that more to our OL imploding, and our genius HC and OC not adapting by having Sam execute more controlled roll outs to buy himself more time. Sam was also the blame on a number of occasions where he missed wide open receivers only to throw into double or triple coverage. Bottom line Mims got his first game under his belt and my only concern is him staying healthy the rest of the way. He has already given a glimpse of what he can do and Sam (if he has any brains) will seek to make him his go to guy going forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For most of us there was never any doubt (granted this just one game) because his talent and production was undeniable. It was just very frustrating seeing him get injured and missing so many games, especially when he missed very few games in college because of injuries so it wasn't like he was injury prone. In fact, he actually played part of season with a broken bone in his hand so you know he can play through pain. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But seriously, I know Darnold needs to play to either 1. Drive up his value so JD can get the most for him in a trade or 2. Demonstrate that he is the franchise quarterback the Jets thought they were getting. To be honest, I think the clock is running out on the latter but it is not entirely too late. That said, I agree that if this team is getting blown out in any games this year, or if Sam goes down with another injury then Morgan should play. I do think we will see both Hall and Zuniga sometime in November. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I think the whole play the rookies thing can become overblown. Yes, developing our young under control players should be the priority in a season where the playoffs are out of reach before halfway. That does not mean they should be playing 100% of the snaps. You want to work them in without overloading them. They need to run the plays they know and be evaluated and graded on them and given more responsibility as they progress. Having them run around randomly isn't really optimal. Mims did not even practice until the last few weeks. Perine was hurt too. Developing them is the team's main goal. Rushing them shouldn't be.
