JetBlue Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 From the reports I have been seeing, it looks like Cager may actually have a edge on Yeboah for the last TE spot (unless we consider Wesco a TE and not a Fullback). The apparent knock on them is they are not good in line blockers so that could be an issue, but Cager is really looking a pass catching threat at that position. It will be interesting to see who whens that battle. I could see either one winning and the other making the PS. I think Cager may be the best pass catcher and could cause a real mismatch for defenses. It would be great to groom him and Ruckert as our TEs of the Future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Cager was impressive on Friday, I am keen to see more of him. Despite being new to the position, he looks more impressive than Yeboah. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SickJetFan Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 i dont know for a fact but it does seem as if Cager is getting the most reps and making the most out of them 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Fantasy Island Posted August 17, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 17, 2022 Cager has battled and worked for this a couple seasons now. I’m rooting for him. sorry @DefenseWinsChampionships85 3 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Cager by a lot but Yeboah is still a good prospect. He us not an inline blocker but he also blocked well Friday. He is great on specials and he essentially is the large WR we don't really have. In my opinion he us close to a lock at this point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drums Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Saw Yeboah get blown up on one of our first running plays last Friday vs the Eagles. Haven’t caught Cager’s blocking but it does seem he has the advantage right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirlancemehlot Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I know its a small sample size at this point, but Cager has outperformed Uzomah thus far as well. Let's see if the Jets have the balls to pull the trigger on Lawrence and make him a part of the 53. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pointman Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 I was high on your boy and my boy, Yeboah when we got at a steal of a pick. But he has been as visible as a fart in the wind. I am ok moving on. He can grab the same bus as Ashtyn Davis. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Lawrence Cager. He looked big and fast against the Eagles. Could become a matchup problem for defenses, especially in a 2 TE offense. The first I’ve been intrigued by a bubble player in a long time. If safeties can become linebackers, then logic tells me WRs should be able to become TEs. That said, I can’t think of too many examples of either becoming highly successful. I was impressed with Sherwood against Philly and as a Rutgers fan, I remember Khaseem Greene becoming a stud LB after moving from safety.

Didn't our very onw Rich Caster make that transition back in the early '70's when they added Jerome Barkum as a WR? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great comparison. Castor was an oversized wide receiver with excellent speed for his size who was converted to TE. Barkum was an undersized TE who made the transition to wide receiver. They were two of my fav players from that era. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PorP Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Why do we think there will be a TE4? I know the 53 man projections are guess work but there is a common theme among them. 3 RBs, 0FBs, 3 TEs. Most of em I see think the Jets will carry an extra WR and DE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowles Movement Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 If they are planning on a lot of two tight end formations, they will need more than 3 TEs. I like Cager as I think he will be a matchup nightmare more so than Yeboah. They have 3 guys that can block well enough and if they need more blockers, they ought to use offensive lineman that can catch a little. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IndianaJet Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I feel like it's Cager's job to lose at this point, at least if the decision comes down to him or Yeboah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbstern Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I've been a Cager fan since his UGA days. He had some great, highlight reel plays as a Bulldog, and was the most reliable WR on that roster for a couple of years. Very good hands and excellent route runner. He played hurt, too. I very much want him to make this team. I think he has the talent to contribute big plays on Sundays. Using him as a mismatch TE is almost ideal. He's not a bad blocker, but the same time, he's going to have trouble with some blocking assignments, given his tweener size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 I wanted my boy-ah Kenny Yeboah to be the guy at TE but like most of my opinions about this team, it was a laughable, over optimistic dream. Cager looks lively out there. Actually catching the ball and then doing something insane that we as Jets fans never see, YAC! Dude keeps running after he catches the ball. Insane. Looks like Yeboah isn't my boy-ah anymore and now Cager be givin' me a rager. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both went to Jackson State in the still mostly segregated world of football in the South in the early 70s. Of course, nowadays they would be nationwide recruiting battles for them. I think Barkum may have been on the same team at Jackson State team for at least a year or two with 2 future NFL hall of famers - Walter Payton and Robert Brazile (also from Mobile, AL) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Harper Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Cager has had a good camp and played well in the preseason games. In all of camp, I think I've read Yeboah's name maybe once. I would think that Cager would have the leg up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUM-KNEE Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Id be 0k with dumping Wesco (even though I had high hopes) and keep Cager. Wesco drawing flags is getting old.... Yeboah might blossom later, so keep him around for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy 2 Times Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Cager is looking like a poor man’s Pitts or Graham. I fear he’ll be poached if left unprotected. Yeboah can easily slip into the practice squad again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Just the fact that we are having a discussion about who to keep as our #4 TE is very refreshing.

We need to go with the guy who works his ass off and shows something. Cager is showing skills. Yeboah isn'tah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
