Rhg1084 Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 What’s everyone’s thoughts on him? We gave him a $24m contract he doesn’t even have a target yet thru two games. How’s he’s gonna be used in this system ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be back this week and hopefully he will play a bigger role. If Conklin keeps fumbling his role will get even bigger. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post T0mShane Posted September 23, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 23, 2022 He was brought in for his leadership and to help Zach be more like Joe Burrow. It doesn’t really matter if he contributes all that much on the field, imo 3 3 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we know why the Jets got rid of the Flight Crew. Too much money being devoted to Uzomah to perform the same task. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe W. Namath Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Both conky and uzomah are stop gaps for a year until rucker is ready to explode on the scene next year. Money doesnt really matter on these short term deals. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets723 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Only two games. I understand Conklin is off to a tough stat with the drops/fumbles but I think he will be good going forward and help Zach. Sooner or later teams are going to pay more attention to Garrett Wilson which will lead to more plays for Conklin and Uzomah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenFish Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Good locker room guy. But he is just a stop gap. I think he will not play up to his contract. Conklin is good though. Once he settles down and stops making these errors, I think he will start to shine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Amazing how quickly the optimism about the TE position has dimmed. Some folks should reread the off-season threads about Uzomah and Conlklin. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, the two fumbles are honestly a big concern and hopefully we’ve seen the last of that unacceptable nonsense. But I’m hoping with that, Uzomah gets healthy and contributes going forward and doesn’t Trumaine Johnson us like so many before. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Uzomah will prove his worth. I guessing he the best blocker out of the bunch st TE and I expect him to have 30-40 catches this season and a ton of them won't be outlet passes . I think Ructert will be a head of both of them by next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but we need more than just Ruckert; besides that may suck, but they were instantly better than anything we had here (even for a while). In my mind, they did their jobs as Westco is no longer here. When you have a bad team with little to no depth, you upgrade whenever you can. I would suspect we will be bringing in young TEs over the next couple of years (drafts, waived, UDFA) until we can upgrade more. TE was a wasteland the last several years; now at least we have some TEs who can block and catch. Baby steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
