Zach Wilson continues traveling around country to work with his WRs, defends Denzel Mims

[jetstream23]

?

 

lol

 

[HawkeyeJet]

Wilson may end up being like the rest of the Jets QB busts but it won’t be from lack of desire for the game or effort.

[More Cowbell]

If that is defending Mims, then Chris Rock was defending Will Smith by not pressing charges

Not knocking your point, but the same was said about Sanchez organizing “Jets West” in the off-season.

Obviously better for him to be working out with these guys than not, but he does need to take a big year 2 leap this year.

[Flightattendant]

I forget but did.darnold do this or did he jet back to SoCal once his locker was cleaned out?

He’s been traveling the country.  Has met with Davis, Carter, Berrios, going to AZ to work with Moore.  That’s pretty much everyone.  
‘This is not quite the same as Jets West, required a little more work going to each as opposed to an invite to ca for anyone who could make it to Sanchez’s home on his schedule

[kdels62]

He’s just banging moms across the country.

I have no idea what these tweets mean.  Is Zach saying Mims is there? Is he saying that's only working out with the short WR's and why he is calling them a "small group"?    

[Barry McCockinner]

I hope Mims works out but it seems like a pretty big longshot at this point. Hard to see him on the Jets roster week 1.

Darnold worked with an offseason coach (Jordan Palmer) and got players together.

Hearing that Mims is basically living with Mike White grinding tape.

[JetPotato]

Is Jets West still a thing? Or was that just Pennington? I heard Chad's shoulders are much stronger than ever too.

It’s Jets southWest now my man!

[Jet9]

This definitely reminds me of all the nonsense off season stuff our QBs have done for years. Jordan Palmer, Jesse Palmer, Robert Palmer, Mary Palmer...all the same result.

I can weigh in on this as I deal with younger children on the regular.  Small means not big.. Used as "yo bro youre smalllllllll". Generally referring to height or more commonly muscle size.

Agree with this -- generally effort/attitude/work ethic haven't been the issue with most of our QBs (sans Geno.)

hmmm, so, a compliment by saying Mims is big and strong but also kind of a dig because he aint with the crew.

Meh, he’s letting you know that, despite what this board and Twitter have to say about it, Mims is still a part of the team. 
 
Used to be that WRs would take two or three years to develop. This young man has all the physical gifts to be great, it’s up to him. It’s a shame that so many Jet fans have decided to root against him (and Becton) rather than root for the players on their so-called favorite team. I’m rooting for him.

I thought of it as the exact opposite.  A playful dig at mims being with the smaller guys saying he's small, but present.

Correct.

Look, Zach putting in this effort doesn't mean he's going to be a good QB. - I don't think anyone is suggesting that. 

It's just nice to see...and Zach is taking a bit of a different approach in going to each of them rather than make them come to him.  

I think it's taking more of a humble yet leadership angle to this - I like it.  He can build more of a personal relationship with each of these guys.  Again, means nothing if he doesn't take the next step...But certainly nice to see.

The workouts - which Mims doesn't need to be a part of obviously.

Geno probably had (and has) a better work ethic than Sanchez ever had. Mark was a goofball. 
 
Work does not seem to be the issue with Zach.

Oh, I would love to see him wake up but apparently the CS would rather use Barrios than Mims which is really startling. Mims is a rare combo of size and speed. I would love to see him running jet sweeps over Barrios only because he would be harder to tackle. There is a reason the CS is using Barrios over him. Like I said, would love to see him contribute but it doesn't  seem likely.

I think Mark liked the celebrity aspect of being an NFL QB but this seems harsh. Geno missed team meetings because he was seeing Gone Girl and couldn't tell time.

He’s still on the roster for a reason. Berrios is getting the work because he’s doing the work, not because anyone sees him as the potential X that Mims can be. Mims has had probably too many setbacks. This is probably his real last shot. Hopefully he’s feeling motivated. Good to see him taking part in these things.

Mim’s dropped that Mike White pass in the end zone and I felt betrayed. Haha, but I’m ready when he is. 
 

Becton? One of his biggest critics but as of now I’m taking the wait and see with him. I would happily eat my crow Twice fired Korean style, ask for seconds and thirds… as well. 
 

The constant bashing of the kid has warn me out honestly, as a Dad with boys that age, in my heart I hope he gets it if he really wants it and is willing to work for it.

Saleh has talked about Mims health issues as contributing to his set backs and slow development.   Has said the Jets won’t give up on him because he has too much talent.  He needs to show that this confidence in his talent is on point now though.

Mims is still there b/c douglas didn’t get good trade offers before the deadline last season.  I think his grace period of being a 2nd rounder has worn off and douglas would be happy to take what he can get come training camp.

[Jimmy 2 Times]

How great would it be if Mims develops?

That, next to Zach getting better, is the best thing that can happen to this team.
