Dcronin Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Do we have $$ or assets to get someone to fill in the Lawson sized hole we now have?? Surprised it's been quiet for like 5 days on this. Thought we'd have someone by now. Who do you think we'll end up with? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy 2 Times Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Everyone is trying to hold JD over the barrel right now. He'll probably wait until the last second and get someone for cheap that was going to be released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of that they'll wait for a good opportunity as opposed to go looking for a costly sub optimal one. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now there is no one out there good enough to fill the hole that Lawson left in the Jets D. I just don't see Douglas throwing draft picks at a meh ER just to do something. if some one he likes gets cut, he'll claim them. It's possible he trades some one like Crowder for a mid tier pass rusher. Sad thing is it appears that Saleh's D requires a good ER to function properly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's so much pressure from the edge or pressure in general that is required. I know pressure up the middle is what used to destroy manning and destroys brady*?.

Pressure up the middle is always more disturbing to QB's, but it's usually the ER who get the sacks as the QB have to step back to avoid the the mid rush. The Lawson, Williams combo seemed perfect. Jets tried everyone last night. Couldn't bring much heat. Even Huff, who I like couldn't generate much. Lawson is a big loss to this D. We'll see if they can come up with something. There's a reason ER's are the highest paid players after QB's. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s hopefully JD trying to drive the price down on a FA pass rusher. The window is closing with the season upon us.

When Q and Rankins are in the quarterback's face every other snap, the edge guys need to clean up when they roll out. Hopefully the secondary isn't playing so soft that they can dink and dunk us to death before Q can get home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always got the feeling our approach to the secondary was predicated on having a pass rush and a defensive line that could stop the run. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our back 7 is an area of great concern. Only by collapsing the pocket do we stand a chance in the secondary. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

65 Toss Power Trap Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 We definitely have the assets, draft capital, but is the benefit this year, worth giving away the future. I lived in Dallas when the Mavericks traded away draft picks for an older Jason Kidd. So many people, especially the media, were screaming about how the Mavs gave away the future. But, they actually ended up winning a championship because of it. However, NFL rosters are much larger, and one person doesn't always make the change, excepting a Tom Brady type move. I don't see the Jets going and getting an available player or two that are going to change things significantly enough the next couple of years to justify giving up picks or major money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolloffjet Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Barnett looks like a logical choice. Eagles have a couple of de to take his place. He’s young and has production. Eagles must be asking too much or Douglas is waiting for price to go down. Barnett is the only one I see that can help and not cost a high draft pick. But if I had my choice I’d sell the farm for Danielle Hunter. But that’s just a pipe dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section314 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 Just remember that the D hadn’t played one down this camp with Q and Rankins pushing the pocket. That alone will give the outside guys sacks by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s almost a given, what people have to come to terms with and finally accept is that WHOEVER gets added as an EDGE for the ‘21 pass rush at this point before the season will NOT even replace 25% of what Lawson was projected to produce this year. Sucks, but such is life. We may get a young prospect that has tools and is cheap, that’s about it; future draft capital is not worth sacrificing for a ‘21 band-aid.

Wit Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 We aren’t good enough to spend real draft capital on someone, so might as well wait out the cuts and grab someone. We are still number two in line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
