varjet Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I am sure Denzel’s agent explained to him that he played the second most valuable position in football, and if he got his act together he would get a contract from some team that would set him, his parents, his children and his grandchildren up for life. Seems pretty basic actually. Hopefully he is working hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The jets now have 3 players who can score any time they touch the ball from anywhere on the field. Last time they had that was Toon, walker, McNeil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post football guy Posted May 3, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 3, 2022 I think the most significant development to come out of this past weekend (and entire offseason for that matter) is how much competition they're injecting into this roster. Guys who were starters/significant role players (and solid ones at that) last year are going to be competing for their jobs this summer. We turned the RB, TE, WR, DE, and CB positions into ones that are flush with young talent this offseason, with a lot of young guys who are likely going to have to settle for backup roles yet can be starters for many teams around the NFL, which I think is really important. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Here are some NY Jets draft thoughts now that we know what players have been selected. Defense – I think we are going to see some drastic scheme changes. The DLine will still be the focus, but the additions to the secondary leads me to believe we will see: * More 1 on 1 coverage * Less zone concepts * More blitzing from the secondary, particularly the CBs * More positional switching – You don’t spend the amount of free agency $$$ (DJ Reed & Jordan Whitehead) and draft capital (Ahmad Gardner) on players to have them play vanilla Cover 2/Cover 3 all game. Particularly when their tape showed that they’re physical, can press cover and blitz. – With the depth we have in the secondary we should see massive “cross training” as we head to camp. The staff flipped Jason Pinnock to safety last year and in my opinion we should do the same with Bryce Hall. A secondary that has “positionless” players can confuse QBs and lead to INTs. – John Franklin-Myers should “float” between DE and DT based on the situation. Offense – I believe the drafting of Breece Hall will shift the RB position from a committee approach to a RB1, RB2, RB3 structure. Hall’s size and college production showed he can be RB1 (20-25 touches) and even though Michael Carter was impressive last year he did get banged up. Which leads me to believe he would be better suited to a RB2 (10-15 touches) role. The fight for the RB3 role will be wicked between Tevin Coleman, Ty Johnson, Zonovan Knight, Austin Walter and Lamical Perine. – With actual TEs on the roster this year I would expect to see some of the “SF Kittle” package incorporated into the passing game. – I’m glad we didn’t double dip at WR in the draft. Because I want to see if Denzel Mims has any shot at reaching his draft potential. I’m not expecting it but if Mims somehow finds his game a WR corps with him being WR5 would be scary. – Now its all on Zach Wilson to thrive in this offense. Because Joe Douglas has done for him everything Mike Maccagnan didn’t do for Sam Darnold. The OLine has been revamped and there is quality and depth at the skill positions. Wilson now needs to show what he did in the TB game for an entire 17 game schedule.

maury77 Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 As much as the Jets improved the team through the draft, they still have the same linebackers and interior DL. If the D can't stop the run, they are going to get exposed to play action passes. I'm very high on Sauce, but DBs typically have a learning curve as rookies. If opposing offenses start off hot, its going to force the Jets to get into shootouts and I don't think the Jets are going to be ready to win shoot outs (yet). The key is going to be for the defense to keep the games close so the Jets offense can rely upon their ground game, which I think can be very good next year.

slimjasi Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Two things: 1) The Jets played more man coverage last year than some folks seem to realize. 2) I've been researching Micheal Clemons - Dude has legit pass-rushing ability and doesn't seem to have the motor issues that Zuniga has. I have a feeling he could be a hidden gem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Good thoughts here @KRL. I spent a ton of time this offseason saying Sauce was going to be the pick at 4. And in return I was told I was crazy and all sorts of other stuff. This is a great sign (them drafting Sauce, not me being right lol) because it shows they aren't stuck in the past. The # 1 and # 2 CBs are now # 4 and # 5. Insane! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Michael Carter can't sit back and say I am RB # 1. He has to work and fight for playing time. That is a refreshing change. (I love MC, just using that position as an example). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
