Maxman Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I am tired of talking about Watson and Darnold. Until we know what is going on I am going to focus on the 3rd tight end spot. I see a new starter being acquired. Herndon back as the # 2 guy. But I can't sleep over the battle for the # 3 roster spot at tight end? Who you got? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think it makes sense to keep Wesco around since he can play FB and the offense will probably call for one. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys are going to answer this thread seriously none of this is going to work out lol. Actually I don't see how they can go with Herndon, Griffin and Wesco. Herndon has the most upside and a low cap #. So I wonder if Griffin would get cut. That 10 million dollar deal seemed weird for a 6 game hot streak. But the cap # is low so they will probably go draft pick, plus the 3 above and work it out in camp. Just looked up Wesco's #s again and damn Gase couldn't figure anything out here ugh. The bring them all to camp and let the new staff approach is probably going to be the plan. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Integrity28 Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Everyone talks about the Shanny offense for QBs and RBs, but it also historically elevated the TE. I think the whole position group should be shaken up. Herndon is no different than Sam —- unrealized potential. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCJet Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Ryan Griffin needs to be restructured to the veteran minimum or released. He is 31 years old, has no upside and isnt even good. Trevon Wesco is one of the many players who we have no idea what he can do as Gase didnt use his starting TE let alone any backups. He has been an excellent blocker but instead of playing inline TE, he has been used as a hybrid FB at 260lbs, which isnt smart. What Id love to see is him to try to play around 250 and see if his athleticism can make a jump and he can be used as a blocking TE with upside. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy 2 Times Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I've been hyping Tommy Tremble. He's the best lead blocker I've ever seen and would make the perfect FB/H-Back/TE in this new system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TE position needs to be upgraded in 2021. We have the # 1 TE already his name is Chris Herndon. Face it fans, Gase didn’t have a clue how to play his TE’s. Chris was kept in the line the majority of the time last year to block and protect Sam. He was not allow to run routes enough to stay proficient and get into a strong rhythm with Sam. Which accounts for many of his drops and awkwardness that we saw. Again, as a Canes fan I watch this kid develop in Mia and he was a beast and can be here if he is coached correctly.

But I can't sleep over the battle for the # 3 roster spot at tight end? Who you got? Good. Let's talk about something else ,lol. I disagree. I think Jet brass is quite high on Herndon and always has been. From a fan perspective it seems like he has been held back by Gase (despite the drops and missed time- which are obviously not Gase's fault). Herndon seems to be the type of player that gets better when he is targeted regularly and hen you involve him in the offense. For some reason Gase/Darnold did not do that. I think in LaFleur's system will benefit Herndon greatly and he will be the starter. I think they will get #2 TE in FA and DRAFT a developmental TE later on in the draft who will be that #3 guy. Now, there are a couple of other things to keep an eye on. R.Griffin, due to injury, looks like a shell of what he used to be. I would just cut him. But his contract is very much team-friendly. Does LaFleur and Saleh think they can get more out of him and want to keep him around? Also, what about Wesco? He's technically a TE but he currently fills that H-back or even FB role. That's a position LaFleur likes to utilize. Will the Jets go out and find a new FB they are more comfortable with? or do they like Wesco? Then there are the back-end roster guys. The Jets have Brown, Davis and Travis. These are all big athletic receiving TE's. My personal opinion is that they don't make the team. But who knows. Davis is a complete mystery journeyman. Brown made the team last year. Travis is another question-mark. So while TO ME the easy answer is that Herndon remains as the starter, the Jets bring in a vet FA as a backup and draft a developmental TE for the future, there's a lot of guys already on the roster that they will be looking closely at to determine what makes the most sense.

Greenbloodblitz Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think it would be wise for the Jets to grab a veteran tight end in free agency. Somebody who is already acclimated at the position and working with the O'line. Also for whatever Young quarterback we have to lean on.

Are the NY Jets a farm system for all players that might get good. Meanwhile we finish 2-14 and haven't made the playoffs in 10 years. I like Herndon but we still need to acquire a decent TE.
