He’ll probably run with the 2s today. That’s what happens in camp especially this early. How about seeing a few more practices and a pre season game before thinking the depth chart is set in stone? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammybighead Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Upset to hear about Mims. I was so fired up when he was drafted, a guy a really wanted. Hopefully he can focus and improve his craft and this is just a wake up call for him. I’m pretty sure most fans wanted him too so we can’t even second guess JD. Drafting is difficult and just when you think you have a guy pegged, you don’t… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His rookie year was basically a wash between injuries, darnold and gase. So now we’re here in year 2 and he’s starting out down on the depth chart after the Cole and davis signings. And the kept crowder. Looking at the whole wr picture, nothing about where mims is is surprising. Nothing. Now if September comes around and the word is that mims is still way behind, moore looks great and those 4 wrs are going to get all the pt, then it could be a different conversation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Sort of odd because I thought Mims looked really good in the time he played last year. My only concern about him was hoping he wouldn’t be injured again. Maybe he just doesn’t fit the system at all. But 3 string…for a Jets wideout lol that’s rough. He was picked high so if he flames out that’s another throw away pick for JD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore is clearly ahead of him. As long as they develop him, its fine. He does not need to be a stud they rely on day 1 this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See the Jets having 3 position battles with no defined 1, 2, or 3 rated so called stringers. That’s WR, RB and CB. Rep’s more meaningful than ranking at this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmnj Posted July 31, 2021 Author Share Posted July 31, 2021 Moore was just drafted for the mims truthers and he is ahead of mims and that is a fact - mims will either step up to the challenge or sink like a stone - u are what your numbers say you are but thankfully the play on the field speaks the truth - I hope all of the jets wr excel including mims but this is a make or break year for mims and the excuses only go so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post flgreen Posted July 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2021 Mims problem is, he has never been a sharp route runner. That is important in this system, and probably the reason he is where he appears to be on the depth chart. He did make two good plays today. They were both the same kind of play. Wilson was under pressure, and threw accurate, contested balls to Mims on the move. Mims made the catches for 1st downs. IMO, that is going to be his role on the Jets. Wilson likes to throw those contested balls, and Mims is good at catching them. Mims probably won't be a starter, but I think he's going to make some BIG plays at the right time. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EM31 Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I read somewhere once that on his first day of professional practice Lawrence Taylor suited up with the 3's. One his 2nd day with the 2's and on his third day with the 1's. Mims therefore must be a HOF lock amiirite? On a more serious note, for every Quinnen Williams who gets a slow start but who later on comes on strong there are a dozen Vernon Gholston's for whom the initial reports end up being 100% correct. At least we have a GM/Coach combo who could give two hoots about trying to make the GM look good in the press. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw tape from a guy that was, in my opinion, lazy at times. Even worse, he can’t separate. I don’t bet on sports, aside from one mid-stakes fantasy football league. I am exclusively a live cash game poker player. Mims is like holding J7s. Looks like a playable hand… it might even make a straight or a flush. But it will often get beat by a bigger straight on a board with 89T… and sometimes will run into a bigger flush. The amount you win with that hand, overall, will often be noticeably less than when you lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Action Zachtion Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 As was said, Wilson loves throwing contested balls. Wilson and Mims skill sets seem to match well. I have also noticed a pattern that Mims should have as well... Wilson spends time with a WR, they develope timing and chemistry, then they start connecting. Mims should be the next guy to ask Wilson for an extra session. You've got to be on the same page for those contested routes to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
