Mims, Wilson, Moore, rotating in Berrios/Davis with Uzomah/Ruckert inline and flexing out Conklin in 12 personnel? Are you kidding?

Popular Post Trotter Posted May 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 4, 2022 2 hours ago, johnnysd said: I have a personal conspiracy theory in that Mims had more than just food poisoning last year and the Jets kept it secret. I still think their tough love approach was wrong footed and hopefully they adjust but the guy I saw 2 years ago looked like a potential #1 prospect, Mims last year looked like anything but a professional football player. The Jets support has been petty unwavering so Mims could very well be a big surprise this season. We could really use him because he brings something different than all the other receivers. I still think he is like Braylon Edwards 2.0 and will blossom in the right environment. I tend to agree and would put Becton in that same discussion. Saleh is very careful not to put any player in any type of uncomfortable situation with the press. His tough love approach especially with Mims was more from a professional perspective and never personal. Same with Becton when he mentioned other factors for the performance in trng camp but never went further than that. What a great benefit to the Jets if both of these players turn it around. I know there are many that make jokes about both players and even some pretty rough comments. I am rooting for both to succeed. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy 2 Times Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 I think it was a combination of circumstances that led to Mims’ redshirt sophomore season. -he was sick during installation -he never put in the extra work mentality to catch up -he probably felt entitled Hopefully he had his wake up call because he truly could be our number 1 if he puts it ALL together. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hex Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 Mims has the athletic ability. All he needs is motivation to get better. If he tries to improve, he will be a very good player.

More than being one of the privileged few athletes to play in the NFL? How much more motivation does a person like Mims need than doing well and continuing to make millions for playing a game? I want Mims to do well. But I really don't think it's in the cards. For whatever reason, between college and the pros, Mims lost his edge. That or it's just that other guys in the league are better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier reports suggested he was being lazy and not learning his routes. He showed he could be good in college, and although I don't really think Mims will pick up his game, I do think that motivation is the main thing that he needs to improve. If he was motivated to learn his dang routes, he would probably have never been benched. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtnelson Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 6 hours ago, extmenace said: The Corey Davis hate, I’m not quite sold he was a bad signing. He missed 8 full games plus some time in another 1 or two games. If you carry over and translate his stats to a full season he would have been right around 1000 yards. Also keep in mind, he missed the josh Johnson and mike white games where the offense peaked. With how weak the qb play was last year, in the games he played in, I think he’s a prime candidate to have a nice bounce back season if he can stay healthy and Wilson takes the next step. This is my feeling. To start the year Zach had a food connection with Davis. I think we will see a continuation of that this season. I think he will be the #1 target again early in the year.

Who doesn’t love playing with house money?! - would have gone in first round of the 2022 draft based on college production and measurables - tremendous value on rookie contract if he can contribute - great option to replace Davis when Davis’ contract is complete (after year 3). It will be final year of Mim’s cheap rookie contract. - he will explode in his contract year playing alongside Wilson, and Moore - offering the size speed combo that will complement the rest of the weapons 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Smith might have more athletic upside 4.36 40 time… and is still learning the position (former QB). He also theoretically offers up some gadget play capability based on speed and QB background. However Jeff Smith was not good last year when pressed into duty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motivation = job. Good bet it was the first time he’d been benched, where his pure size & speed weren’t enough. Throw in health issues & immaturity/ego (and a first year WRC, OC, HC, etc,) and it’s a bad recipe. In he end it could be for the best that he got a big dose of reality with the team going so hard at his position this offseason. Could motivate him from flashes/teases to a consistent weapon. It’s not like he has no talent or is too old to turn the corner and still have a good NFL career. We’ll see what he does soon enough. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
