Denzel Mims

[Jet hustle]

Just out of sheer curiosity, how many snaps did he play yesterday?  Didn't hear his name once...   What a massive disappointment 

[Sarge4Tide]

0 - He was inactive

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Still think he should be out there instead of Jeff Smith...but whatever. 

Stupid team.

Smith, didn’t he catch the pass on the fake?

[Claymation]

I heard he had fish on Saturday so he had a built in excuse.

And there’s your answer. Smith is not just a willing participant on specials, but is actually a decent gunner. The more you can do - the more valuable you’re.

Bah - Mims could've caught that too. Big whoop.

[nycdan]

On the one hand, I still don't see that Jeff Smith adds a lot to the offense.  On the other, I'm not sure Mims could add much either.  our WRs are cooking with gas on high right now.  Even in the red zone, we have answers.  I was a supporter of getting him active, but at this point, he would probably not see much more than the 1 target Smith got.  Unless we truly see him developing into the Corey Davis replacement, he's pretty much stuck in neutral.

Jeff Smith had that big catch on the fake punt 

[Rhg1084]

At this point who cares about Mims. We got a sick WR corps already with GW, Elijah, CD and Berrios

Seriously 

The day can’t come fast enough when I don’t have to hear about this guy anymore.

He’s never going to be anything more than the 5th or 6th wideout on a teams depth chart before he eventually fades out of the league entirely.

There’s a long line of WR’s drafted in the 2nd round who simply sucked. And Mims is one of them.

Would he have, though?

[peekskill68]

JD is slowly working thru the stages of grief that are his first draft.  Clark, Zuniga, Perine and Morgan are already gone.  Davis and Hall are barely playing.  Mann is going to have a steady stream of competitors in his face however long he lasts here.  Suspect Mims will eventually get traded for a day 3 pick and the cherry on top will be dealing with Becton next year.

Great point.

pre season i know but the last time I saw him on the field he literally ran away from the punt returner.

I though for a second I did not follow the ball properly, but nope ran to the other side of the field.

[Integrity28]

Jeff Smith plays special teams. Denzel Mims does not.

 

[rangerous]

speaking of the 2020 draft picks, ashtyn davis made the pick that sealed it.  the browns were chewing up the jets all afternoon.  who's to say they would'n't have been able to kick a fg with time running out.

[JustInFudge]

Weird they didnt honor his trade request if there were truly some inquiries.  What's the point of keeping him to just deactivate him every game?

[Green hat]

It'll take an injury to get Mims on the field. Unfortunately injuries happen so he'll get a chance eventually. Last year he got playing time after the injuries and sucked.

Yeah but he’d probably catch it short of the 1st down or out of bounds with his constant brain farts

Yeah it's weird. Maybe they only got back 5th or 6th round offers and were just like, f it, we'll keep him for depth incase of injury. I mean it's not a terrible idea if he's not being a problem.

Smith has more ST value than Mims as WR5.

More value as a depth piece than a late day 3 pick.

I think it’s just for depth reasons. If everyone’s healthy in the WR corps, then yeah any draft pick is better than a guy who isn’t active.

They’re coming off a season where they saw each of their top 4 WRs on the sideline with injuries by the very end. That’s probably still fresh in their memories, especially as the Jets saw their LTs dropping like flies this offseason.

Also even if that doesn’t happen again, the bidding for him should only go up as other teams - including the one who was the highest preseason bidder - may suffer WR injuries of their own.

I think they’d just rather have him for insurance + upside reasons than a conditional 6th-7th rounder (or whatever it’d have been) which they can’t use until after the season’s over. There’ll be less regret over that than if they get 3+ simultaneously-injured WRs again.

[jetspenguin]

again huh?

adios

Exactly this. They were not enthralled with the return. Can't understand why.

[PepPep]

A lot of this is what posters have already mentioned.

But...

1. With the way our receiving corps is currently constructed. When fully healthy, Mims simply does not fit. We have Conklin, CJ- yes I know he was out this week, Ruckert (who the Jets are excited about and want more reps for) and then the WRs with Davis, Moore, Berrios and Wilson. Oh, and our backs can catch. 

2. What about that #5/#6 utility/depth guy? Well, Smith plays specials- as so many have pointed out. He also used to play QB and can pull off a trick play if needed. He is simply more versatile. And don't you think inserting Mims on that fake punt would have tipped the Browns off? Forget about whether or not he would have caught the pass. 

3. INJURIES. The biggest reason Mims is still on the team is because of injuries. He WILL get an opportunity. We literally saw Wilson get crunched in the Browns game. I guarantee you he is bruised up despite coming back into the game and will need to rest/heal up. Berrios was questionable coming into the game with a heel injury. Davis has been taking on monster hits down the middle of the field in the last two games. Our WRs are going to get hurt and Mims will HAVE to step up sooner rather than later.

All very fair points,  Guess it's more depending on what they were offered.

Just like BYU

In Saleh's 'win now' world, Mims is a waste. But in Joe D's world, he looks beyond just this season. JD might not keep Corey Davis with his big $'s, and instead move Mims to his spot. Don't forget Mims is great blocking in the run game, he's tall with good hands, and is the fastest player on the team (or was). If Mims can learn the rout tree, and it looked like he was doing just that in TC, then he could be a good replacement for CD next season.

IDK

A lot of fans wanted to cut Ashtyn Davis too

And he made the play to ice the game yesterday 

Browns were knocking on door of FG range

Would have been an absolute dagger to lose that one

[pointman]

Doesn't matter who else is out there if their name isn't Garrett Wilson.

This is the problem with folks who say Mims is a Bum.  If he is a Bum then why KEEP HIM!!!

You don't keep bums!  And just like Wilson, just because he doesn't know the entire route tree doesn't make him a bum, especially when he came from Baylor it was SPECIFICALLY noted that he ran a limited route tree.\, which wasn't a concern for Gase but is a big concern for the current coaching staff.

Simple, if Mims is such a Bum and can't help the team, let him Go!  What is the point of keeping him????
