AFJF Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Jets currently list 15 defensive linemen on the roster per their official web site. How many do they keep? Who do they keep? Any players with value who get traded? Worth noting that Saleh's 49ers carried 9 D-linemen last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I would say Eight, but Nine perhaps is the answer, ref last year’s 49ers roster. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 49ers carried 9 with 2 guys over 300. Interior Defensive Lineman (5): Foley Fatukasi, Quinnen Williams, Sheldon Rankins, Nathan Shepherd Edge (6): Carl Lawson, Vinny Curry, Bryce Huff, Kyle Phillips, John Franklin-Meyers, Ronald Blair I think we ultimately carry 11 guys and try to stash Hamilcar Rashed and Jonathon Marshall on the practice squad. I still believe that the Jets try and trade Foley Fatukasi. His contract is up and he’s not really a fit in the defense as it was played in San Fran and in Atlanta. If Marshall has a good preseason and they fear losing him if they try to get him on the practice squad then the trade becomes more likely. JFM and Kyle Phillips can swing inside if they ever need to and Vinny Curry is a part time player right now anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Our DLine is crazy deep and our strength, I could see Saleh keeping nine. Right now I think the following are definites: Q.

Lith Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I have 8 or 9 making it. Zuniga is on the bubble, but I liked him at UF and think he will earn the spot in camp and pre-season. Rashed to the PS. Lawson Curry Blair Zuniga Quinnen Rankins Franklin-Myers Marshall Phillips Rashed (Practice Squad) Foley gets traded for a late round pick. Shephed and the rest of the guys get cut. If we can't get a pick for Foley, then swap him in and Phillips is out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulbrich specifically praised him during his presser, so he certainly early on has the leg up in the competition. Franklin-Myers, from the feeling I got in the press conference, seems to be the odd man out as of right now. I think they may kick him inside as a versatile piece and let shepherd go honestly, but theres a long time between now and then. I think marshall may end up on the practice squad 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that. JFM has serious potential. Carl Lawson. Quinnen William. Sheldon Rankins. Kyle Phillips. John Franklin-Myers. Fatukasi Folorunso. Jabari Zuniga. Are the 7 guaranteed locks to make the team. However the likes of Vinny Curry, Jonathan Marshall, Bryce Huff, Nathan Shepherd and Ronald Blair (imo) will become the one's fighting for the final 2-3 spots. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curry will be 33 years old by the end of the month, and he is in jeopardy of not making the roster. Zuniga better show something or he will be a goner as well. If I'm making my guess now, your list of 8 will be 9. Goodbye Curry and Zuniga, and add Franklin-Myers, Marshall and either Huff or Phillps, depending on who wins out between the two. How you can take Zuniga over Franklin-Myers is something you would have to explain to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 My question with JFM has always been where to put him. He's a true DLine tweener size-wise. At 288 he's a bit bigger than you typically see as a down DE in a 4-3. He's also a bit light for the inside unless he's your 3-Tech next to a larger space-eating NT type. I think where he lines up is probably best determined by the size and style of the OLine he's facing. A big, power-blocking OL could be tough to matchup against with QW (302) and JFM (288) as our inside guys with lighter speed-rusher types on the outside. I'm thinking outloud here but in that situation getting a bigger body (Foley or even Marshall) inside next to QW and lining up JFM at DE to set the edge could be a better plan so the Jets can "match the bulk" a bit against big, powerful rushing team. I'm also thinking ahead to how the Jets try to stop Derrick Henry when they face the Titans. Lightweights need not apply for time in that game!

varjet Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Shepherd's and Foley's contracts are expiring after next year. Neither are great fits for this defense. I don't think Shepherd makes the team. I like Foley but would trade him to a contender. Develop ascending players that fit with the defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I desperately want to see JDs 3rd round pick from last year in Jabari Zuniga emerge as our starting DE opposite of Carl Lawson. John Abraham: 6'4/263 lbs (23.5 NCAA sacks). Jabari Zuniga: 6'3/264 lbs (18.5 NCAA sacks). No JN (don't blow a head gasket) I'm not comparing these two; I'm simply pointing out that Zuniga had great size for a 4-3 DE and that both could get after the QB in college.

I would drop Curry and add 2-3 from that list to give us 9-10. This system needs tons of DL in rotation. We'll need that many. I'd also be totally cool with dropping Shepherd if we can. Can Phillips play DT in a 4-3 or is he too undersized? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freakish athleticism (see below) coming out of school. Consideration that last year was essentially a redshirt year for him. New system that suits him much better as a 4-3 DE rather than a 3-4 OLB. Yadda yadda. I get that if Zuniga shows nothing to the coaches or can't stay healthy he should probably go. But if it really came down to it, him over Franklin-Myers on the roster wouldn't exactly be a shocker, and would be a move I would support if it has to be one or the other. Ultimately I think both make it though, which would of course be the best possible result there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a zone coverage system that relies on a deep, talented defensive line getting to the QB. We will be able to operate just fine with a minimal number of DBs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hopeful for Zuniga but when scouting prospects I've never put any real stock into RAS scores... Josh McCown (9.98). Matt Jones (9.99). Anthony Becht (10.0). Seems like everyone and anyone who can walk and hop gets super high athleticism scores... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
