FlightBoyz Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Gotta shake it off. Losing Lawson definitely stings but maybe we find a diamond in the rough on the squad. It certainly ain't rock bottom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet2020 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 This just changed us from a 5 win team to a 4 win team, virtually guaranteeing us yet another top 5 finish…in the draft order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe Joe Namath sold our fan base to some demonic entity for the guarantee. I've grown to like the torture it puts us through today was a fun reminder... join me... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleedin Green Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The injury sucks, but in the grand scheme of this team, a camp/preseason injury is really just the tiniest blip on the radar. Hate to say it, but the reason for some having such a meltdown over this injury is directly related to how many around here were wildly overrating Lawson from the moment he signed. While he was certainly still an upgrade over what the team had, his career was mostly a matter of generating pressure but often failing to finish plays. The type of player some were convinced that he is never even hits free agency in the first place, and certainly get more than both the length and amount he signed for. It's not even a criticism of him as a player, but he was never going to be some great foundation of this team, as much as finally an upgrade to one of the Jets' very weakest positions for an extraordinarily long period of time. The biggest talk of camp has been about the supposed unbelievable strength of this DL and having too much talent to keep it all... now we get to see how true that really was. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said, whiny melodrama is never a great look. If it's truly "too much to bear", best of luck with your next team. If not, you're just being melodramatic. Some of us have been doing this for 40 or 50 years now, we don't have a lot of pity for melodrama. this frees you up from those dreaded pressures ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just too ******* much to bear. Decades of sh*tty play. Inability to get a quality QB or pass rusher. Finally, we looked like we turned a corner and now this happens. Just too goddam depressing to endure.

ScarletKnight89 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I was really excited for Lawson too. He's the best edge rusher we've had since John Abraham. But rock bottom for me would be an injury to Zack Wilson. Not a defensive end who we just signed. It's a big blow, but this season is all about Wilson and the young offensive group around him at the end of the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
playtowinthegame Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 I still think we can have a very good season. Sucks we lost Lawson but our goals are still attainable. Those getting more snaps need to step up and do their job and play smart. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you obviously have to get its not about what he’s done it’s about what he was expected/projected to do for us, in this system, in 2021. No one knows, or ever will know, how he’ll actually do of course, but all signs were very positive based on camp reports. Obviously you weren’t as bullish on him as most based on that information, which I can understand. But it’s the only information that was relevant heading into the season. Everything he’d done, or failed to do, in Cincinnati is kind of irrelevant in this light. His value this year was based purely on his expected importance and performance to this team in 2021. So mocking those for calling this injury a travesty makes even less sense. Many were high on him (including the Jets), some were not, but the ones high on him had more recent and relevant info to support that optimism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
