Popular Post Paradis Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 Quote Speaking Thursday, Jets offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur said the team could consider giving Elijah Moore more snaps from the slot. LaFleur said moving Moore to the slot would result in the team playing rookie wide receiver Garrett Wilson more on the outside. Wilson has lined up in the slot on 53.7 percent of his snaps per Pro Football Focus, while Moore has seen just 25 percent of his snaps come from the slot. Whether or not this leads to more targets for Moore is to be determined, but the Jets have offered some of the fewest slot targets of any team in the league since Zach Wilson returned in Week 4. I don't know what to say to this other than - took you long enough, Mike.

Popular Post Rhg1084 Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 I think it’s a no brainer… put Moore in the slot and he’ll feast. GW is better suited for the outside anyway 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zachtomims47 Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Wonder why it took this long?? I guess it was the better option instead of putting Berrios out there? But now that Garrett Wilson is out there, yeah, this should be line up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bornjets - I think you are a bit young for this but for us oldtimers - throwing or pitching behind the line of scrimmage on 3rd and long was a Joe Walton staple. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slats Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 I’d think the natural order of things would be Davis at X, Moore at Y, and Wilson at Z. But when Moore was drafted, he also didn’t want to be pigeonholed as a slot. So we’ll see if this pacifies him a bit. With Breece out and Davis day to day, there’s more reason to get Moore involved than just him complaining about targets. Be interesting to see how/if Mims fits in with Saleh saying he wants him to see more action as well. 5 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post football guy Posted October 27, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 27, 2022 With Corey Davis likely out, Moore will see a large uptick in usage at other spots by default When Mims is in, Moore/Wilson will be playing the Y/Z in traditional sets When Berrios is in, Moore/Wilson will be playing the X/Z in traditional sets 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy and the Jets Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I like it in on few fronts. A) It is good when coaches put players in a position to maximize their skillset. This is still the case even if it takes 5 months for a coach to figure out what is obvious to everyone else. b) Maybe it would also be a good idea to alter his play design: start gong no huddle to get the QB into a rhythm early and maybe take advantage of his athleticism by moving him out of the pocket (voluntarily as opposed to running for his life) especially given our injury plagued offensive line. It worked pretty well for Justin Fields against the Patriots on Monday night. C) Last off after he starts tailoring his game plan to our talent rather than trying to force them into his preconceived notion of what an offense must be, maybe he will decide it's not necessary to announce it at a press conference days before a game? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIJetsFan Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Well our main DL complained to his coach and the coach made changes for the better. Now it's one of out best WRs vs his coach so I'm thinking this might just work out as well. Newb-ish coaches learning on the job! Hope I'm right.

Crazy that we’ve had Moore at X and running go routes a third of the time. Would be interesting to know if this was driven by Moore. Slot WRs are valuable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with making changes at players request. Coaches are not always right as we have learned.

To flip those around is obtuse imo Maybe we’re not using the same definitions… ? The X lines up on the LOS, making that the place where I’d line up my big body receiver. The Z lines up on the other side, off the line, better for my shiftier/smaller receiver, and the Y is either the TE or the slot - so I’m agreeing that Moore’s natural fit would be there, even though he expressed a desire not to be labeled a slot receiver. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Be_a_Jet Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 Much better fit for Moore and I could see Wilson getting his fair share of targets at the X still because he creates better separation and a bigger target which seems to be important to ZW. honestly I just don’t think Zach has confidence throwing to a shorter receiver when throwing deep. Maybe shorter players appear more covered than they are with those types of plays. Either way Elijah is an immature ass but he sorta did have a reason to speak up on his usage - he just did it terribly 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 All along I thought that (and they wouldn't say this publicly) Moore felt that Barrios was getting his targets/touches in the slot...if true, I hope Barrios doesn't take this public like Moore did...could be ugly.

slimjasi Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 This has been obvious to many of us for Moore's entire career here. Just very odd to me that it has taken so long to figure this out 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
