They have TEs who can block and catch so you’re not relegated to playing wesco or someone else who is a non factor in the actual offense. They have 2 rbs who can both catch. They must use the speed to stop the ravens from blitzing. They’re going to have to take shots downfield, and with that OL they’re unfortunately going to have to move Flacco around to get him more time. The only way the jets are going to stay competitive in this game is with a creative offensive game plan that generates first downs. 3 and outs will lead to a 40-3 score. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post TheClashFan Posted September 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 9, 2022 IIRC, the Jets traded pick 69 to the Titans to move up for JJ. With that pick, the Titans took Nicholas Petit-Frere, who is now starting for them at RT. Imagine if the Jets had gotten both NPF and Max? Oh well, maybe JJ will turn out to be worth the trade up. JD got kind of lucky with Moses last year, as he stayed healthy the entire season. Brown is 37; regardless of his past, he was and is an injury risk going forward because of that, so JD may not have been so lucky with this year's last minute hold the fort signing at OT. Maybe Max will be fine at RT. I'm pulling for him. But if either he or Fant go down, it could get real ugly out there. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 NPF is the starting RT for the Titans, FWIW. He was the number 1 OL recruit in the Nation coming out of prep school. The Jets could have taken Brady Christensen with one off the picks they used to trade up for AVT, who is now a first round RG. That is unusual-teams are usually able to find RGs in the lower rounds. So the trade up strategy has definitely adversely affected the ability to draft OL depth. The Jets have the highest paid OL in the NFL, and second highest paid DL.

Never heard "Oh man that Jags medical staff" cmon guys. This is NYC, if anything, they can prob attract the top doctors. This looks like Khalil Mack all over again. Wasted money on a guy who wasn't in shape and ready. Why are you not blaming the doctors? Players with track records of being healthy are going down left and right. Yes, some of the signings did have injuries in the past, but if someone has had knee problems and tears a pectoral, that's not 'injury prone', that's unbelievably coincidental. In this particular case, Duane brown played 61 games over the last 4 years. That's a bit more than 15 games a season, pretty damn good. If he had an injury pre-signing that was undisclosed, he should have failed his medicals and would not have been signed. If that injury was in play, but the doctors missed it, that's on them. If this is a new injury for a guy that regularly played full seasons, blaming JD makes as much sense as shaking your first in the air at clouds. It's misdirected, accomplishes nothing, but I guess it makes you feel better? Edited September 9, 2022 by xJayce Said Brown had played 61 games last year instead of 61 games over the last 4 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet that's precisely what JD did until scrambling to take what was left on the market after his mistake predictably left a gaping hole at a terribly important spot. Who said JD saw drafting Becton was a mistake after year 2? And who said he was scrambling? From what I remember, he's hosted a few OTs over the summer to come in. With Becton going down, it did provide anyone signing with significantly more leverage, and Duane got paid (not sure how much he was asking before or after the injury).

kdels62 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I liked Mitchell a lot before the draft so I’m hoping that I’m an excellent evaluator.

He drafted a drafted young Tackle to ease into the line-up and signed a former OT pro-bowler for depth (so both experience and someone to grow). He signed a new starting guard (again, pro bowl level) as well as claimed a young G the org liked in Nate Herbig. He also had other OTs in (Reiff was amongst them, but I think he was looking for 10+M a year?), but that didn't pan out. Is drafting + signing pro bowlers not sufficient? Not sure what more you were looking for? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
