CSNY Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I think Cimini wrote this opinion article cause it was a slow day and wanted to create some discussion as to Mims not making the team and knowing that the Jets as the national poster boy for ineptitude got his desired reaction from us fans. I am just curious and it begs the question If he was a Las Vegas Raider reporter would he be writing the same type of article about Henry Ruggs who didn’t have a great season last year who played on a better team and was drafted in the first round? I don’t know the answer but As I said before let’s give Mims some time get his head on straight if that’s the case cause he certainly does have the talent and potential to be a very good player 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhg1084 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I was so happy for Mims after that ridiculous play where he carried like 5 giants for the first down. This kid was a perennial 1st round pick last year and now they got him out here on special teams. He hasn’t complained once. I look for big things with him 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJ1 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 It's pretty obvious to me Jets fans at large are a bunch of snowflake bandwagon fans. What a completely DUMB stance to think Denzel Mims would be cut and wasn't good enough to make the team. That must be like all those fans that thought Greg Dortsch had a roster spot locked up to be EXCLUSIVELY the kick returner. Lol Denzel Mims is an EXCELLENT WR prospect and he's exactly what we thought we were getting based on his limited rookie playing time....Sent from my SM-G930VL using JetNation.com mobile app 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets1958 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Listen, give the guy credit. Put in the when he was, he could have pouted and gone through the motions. Instead, he played with grit and inspiration. Now do it again next week, and show us you belong on the field in prime time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, what do you go by? That the guy caught the ball? They call them receivers for a reason. What I saw was a guy that never seemed to have that extra gear. All the great ones have that. With Mims it seemed he was just ok making the catch and getting tackled. I don't know if you remember when Edwards played here but he would literally drag players for extra yards. That is what we should be seeing from someone as big as Mims. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berrios catching a garbage time TDs isn’t getting me excited. That’s my point. Love me some Berrios but give me Mims over him all day long. I don’t need another small slot guy who can fair catch well. Give me the guy who’s gonna go up and grab it from the defender. Make the tough catches. Who else is doing that here, Corey Davis and who else? And you’re describing exactly what Mims did last night. But yea, you’ll see more of that the more he plays and the more opportunities he gets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Barrios wasn't a garbage time player, he was the number 3 reciever last season. I know he shouldn't be but he played all game on O. I agree that I rather have a guy like Mims over Barrios, the problem is Barrios has out-played Mims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletKnight89 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 I know he's not a scheme fit for this offense but the guy has size, speed, and can make plays down field. Given the fact that they used a second round pick on him just a year ago, I can't see him not having a role on this team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The staff knows what they have in all the guys in front of Mims, and they have shown things in practice, thus no real need to put them to work too much in a meaningless preseason game. Mims needs the work, and he got it.. with 3rd string. Personally, I think the coaches are trying to light a fire inside him and piss him off. We all want him to put it together.

Effort is not a problem with him. Exactly. There's never been anything wrong with Denzel Mims other than... • Sam Darnold: 42nd QB Rating last year (a BUST who Joe Douglas threw away). • Joe Flacco: A completely washed up backup QB (who Joe Douglas threw away). • Perriman as a former 1st round bust playing opposite of him (A WR who Joe Douglas quit on after only 1 season). • Our LG who I don't remember his name (who JD threw away and drafted Alijah Vera-Tucker 1st round because of it). • George Fant who ranked dead last and 64th/64th amongst all starting OTs (who Joe Douglas has already replaced with a beast RT Morgan Moses). • Adam Gase but where is he now? • Dowell Loggains but where is he now? FUNNY HOW ALL OF THESE DENZEL MIMS CRITICS REFUSE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THESE FACTS AS THEY CONTINUE TO NITPICK ON DENZEL MIMS. (But nothing about Ashtyn Davis, Jabari Zuniga, La'Mical Perine, James Morgan, Cameron Clark, Bryce Hall and Braden Mann for their CRAP rookie seasons just the most talented one in "Denzel Mims").
