6/10 Jets OTA’s (continued...)


Recommended Posts

Too bad the other thread was locked (ridiculous)...Wanted to flesh out that list of DBs @Lith posted but lost the inspiration now

I'm more intrigued and curious about our Secondary, than I have been since Revis-Cro was a thing. Feels like we've avoided rostering a bunch of uninspiring JAGs, as well as doomed to fail low ceiling guys which seems to be our M.O. since like 2013.

TON of position versatility there.

Year four, Mims is going to be great this year!  all you damn naysayers, how can you judge him if he does not have any training camp and only plays 6 games a year!  It's not fair!

Same issues from same players as last year.

As I said in another thread the other day our TE's STINK

Some nice comments about some of the rookie DB's though which is good.

Also Douglas picks up from McCagnan on how much he values kickers.

It has not been long but so far this fellow flat out annoys me.  Not sure why, don't like his style whether it is positive or negative comments.

He has mentioned over 20 times that Wilson holds the ball to long.  Only scribe to bring it up, probably not happening.

He's a Dolphins fan, works for the NYDN.  You know he's just waiting for something to happen on the Jets, or with Wilson, so he can go all Mehta on them.

The 5 "worst" QBs in snap to throw last season were:

Josh Allen (AFC Championship)

Baker Mayfield (2nd Round Playoffs)

Lamar Jackson (2nd Round Playoffs)

Daniel Jones (exception to prove the rule)

Patrick Mahomes (Superbowl)

The best QBs in the league hold onto the ball too long. The days of the quick pass, get it out of the QB's hands as fast as possible days are ending. Now teams want QBs who can extend plays.

Major difference between "holding the ball to long, and being mobile to extend a play.

When a QB  is holding the ball to long he is being indecisive, and can't make a quick decision.  Sam was the master of holding the ball to long and making the OL look real bad.

Is it me but does it seem like our receivers/TE's drop a lot of passes?

It's been the TE's almost exclusively. They need to address the position via Trade pretty aggressively prior to camp if they want to help Wilson grow. They currently have no reliable TE's in an offense that relies on TE's as an outlet for the QB.

A healthy Zach Ertz is a good option or maybe trade for David Njoku.

Practice: Zach Wilson didn't have his best day, but it wasn't his worst. Efficient in 7-on-7 (8-for-11), a little spotty in 11-on-11 (7-for-11). Had 1 INT (not his fault) and one near-INT (bad throw). Top 4 WRs weren't on field ... Mike White had best throw of the day ... Nice days for WRs Braxton Berrios and Elijah Moore ... With CB Bless Austin (undisclosed) out, rookie Isaiah Dunn got reps with 1s ... TE Chris Herndon had drop (INT) and a couple of nice catches ... WR Man Bailey impressed.

Jets could have dynamic X-factor with Elijah Moore

The presence of Moore could have an impact on Jamison Crowder

6/10/2021 4:00pm

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. – Zach Wilson has spent the spring showing everyone why the Jets made him their next franchise quarterback. He’s dazzled with his arm strength and accuracy and his ability to throw on the run.

But his best passes have often seemed to be the ones he threw to fellow rookie Elijah Moore.

Moore, the Jets’ second-round pick, has been just as impressive so far this spring. He is “a dynamic young man,” as head coach Robert Saleh described him on Thursday, with speed and moves that make him difficult for defenses to catch.

In fact, it’s been clear that this Jets defense often has trouble keeping up with him. Moore has shown a knack for getting open, both deep and in much tighter spaces. That makes him a potentially dangerous weapon in both the open field and the red zone.

And it sounds like Saleh intends to use him wherever and whenever he can.

“What makes those guys difficult to defend is that he can line up wherever he wants and he’s going to execute at a very high level,” Saleh said, “even though the routes might be a little bit different, the steps might be different, the releases might be a little bit different.”

That’s the kind of weapon Saleh loves, and one that fits so well into the Kyle Shanahan offense that the Jets intend to run. They see him as similar to what Deebo Samuel was with the 49ers – a receiver who can be effective regardless of where he lines up.

There are differences, though. Moore, at 5-9, is a little smaller than Samuel (5-10) and several scouts had him pegged as more of a slot receiver before the draft. That makes some sense, since the Jets have Corey Davis and Denzel Mims, both 6-4, on the outside. And they’ll need a long-term replacement for 5-9 slot receiver Jamison Crowder, who hasn’t been at spring practices yet while the Jets try to get him to accept a cut in his $10 million salary.

 

Dec 20, 2020; Inglewood, California, USA; New York Jets wide receiver Jamison Crowder (82) carries the ball aLos Angeles Rams in the third quarter at SoFi Stadium. The Jets defeated the Rams 23-20.

Judging by the way he’s been used this spring, though, Moore could be more than just Crowder’s replacement. He has lined up all over the field, often using his 4.3 speed to beat the Jets’ defensive backs in deep routes down the field. His shiftiness has played well whether he’s lined up outside or in the slot. He’s proven to be a mismatch wherever his routes start.

“He’s showcasing his ability to be as versatile as possible, in terms of being in different parts of the field, being in different positions, understanding what needs to get done,” Saleh said. “So when the ball gets to his hands he can still do what he does best, which is run after the catch. So that part is what makes him so difficult to defend.”

If Crowder really does still have a role in the Jets’ offense, as Saleh has promised, that versatility will be important for Moore. And it’s easy to see how he could quickly become a Wilson favorite. They already clearly have chemistry, which they’ve been working on since Moore was selected on the second day of the draft. And with so many other options in the Jets’ revamped offense, Moore could easily get lost by opposing defenses – at least at the start.

It’s early, of course. He hasn’t faced a real NFL defense yet – one that had a chance to game-plan for him and is coming at him full-speed. But Moore clearly has the skills. He had 86 catches for 1,193 yards at Ole Miss last year, leading the country with an average of 149.1 receiving yards per game.

There’s no doubt, the Jets could use a “dynamic” weapon like that.

“We’re excited to have him,” Saleh said. “His work ethic is off the charts. His mindset is off the charts. So we’re excited to continue working with him to see him get better.”

I'm more intrigued and curious about our Secondary, than I have been since Revis-Cro was a thing. Feels like we've avoided rostering a bunch of uninspiring JAGs, as well as doomed to fail low ceiling guys which seems to be our M.O. since like 2013.

TON of position versatility there.

Best buddies.

With Moore too.

IMO Crowder really screwed up not showing for OTA's because the Jets asked him to take a pay cut.  What he should have done was show up, do what Berrios is doing, created a bond with Zach.  Showed the Jets why he's worth $10M.

Now he's odd man out.  Wilson doesn't even know who he is, and has bonded solid with the other two slots.

Too many of his takes are snarky from calling Wilson the savior etc.  They also are quite different than what others are tweeting watching the same OTAs.  Seems like the NYDN has found another Manish
