Popular Post MR.GANGGREEN28 Posted September 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2021 Basically Mims is either a bit slow or is lacking the desire and effort to prove himself as a #1 WR in this league. I like to believe that the lights will turn on for the kid and he’ll see his way to the top of the depth chart. Either way, it’s an interesting read with some solid breakdowns. https://jetsxfactor.com/2021/09/15/denzel-mims-new-york-jets-depth-chart/ 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 pretty good explanation. who knows what his routes were last season. new coach, new system and as saleh says, the guy behind the starters needs to know all three positions so he can fill in anywhere. we'll see , as the season goes on, if mims wins the starter role back. probably not. there's too much invested in crowder and davis.

Popular Post JustInFudge Posted September 15, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2021 This is where the stupidity and hypocrisy of the offseason come into play. We didnt want to sign a veteran CB because it takes away from reps/learning the playbook but we're going to bury Mims behind 3 veterans and 2 sh*tty holdovers? Totally illogical 13 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can be dumb and lazy, but if he's going to be making 40 yard catches, the coaches need to get him on the field and let him run straight down the field.

92ShaunEllis92 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Sounds like he’s not buying into what the new CS is preaching and the CS has no problem throwing him under the bus: LaFleur & now Saleh have both said it comes down to learning the playbook (where to line up, proper routes, etc.) and learning all 3 WR positions. conclusion: He’s got $h!t for brains, but what seems more egregious, no “fight” or an attitude that relegates him to 3 snaps despite depth issues. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was saying he didnt want to sign veteran CB's because it would take away from valuable camp reps. Why was the WR position different? Why not poor all of that into Mims/Moore the way you did with the corners? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being inexperienced doesn't seem to be preventing Elijah Moore from getting live reps and working his way up the depth chart. Seems like he played the 2nd most snaps at WR after Davis. I don't think this about a lack of opportunity for Mims. EDIT: The other answer to your question, of course, is that it's all about Wilson. Playing rookie CBs doesn't impact the development of anyone else. Having a dope out there who doesn't know his assignments wastes reps Wilson needs. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonny Werblin Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Let's assume he's dumb as a box of rocks. So, the Coaching staff is unable to find a handful of plays that he can run? He's played football his whole freaking life, their are clearly some plays he is capable of running. Pitiful excuse for the staff not making the most of his talents. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelbyblue Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Maybe that’s why he fell in the draft, I wanted Peoples-Jones who went to Cleveland. Mims is just not there mentally for complicated systems. Mims will probably be traded before the deadline maybe that’s why they aren’t exposing him to injury.

peekskill68 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 This whole Mims situation is still not passing the sniff test. The guy blocks well and is willing to take shots (see Giants pre-season game), so it clearly not a question of laziness or softness. Still feels like there's more going on here that we don't know... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetluv58 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Wow. Heard Denzel called a dope, slow, dumb, lazy, stupid … but you loved him when he caught the forty yard bomb. The article explains his lack of college experience running complex route trees. It also points out his injury record and just how difficult the system is. All those casual put-downs are pretty ugly and uncomfortable. Among other things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a reason the kid fell almost all the way to rd 3. I can see the temptation with all those physical skills... I mean its not the QB position... there are a lot of really dumb WRs that are highly successful in the NFL. They at least learn how to learn the playbook. I guess the WR coach doesn't have the support or time to give him more 1-1 attention? You would think the jets have someone working on him every day, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
