#27TheDominator Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Just now, Paradis said: He was recovering from an injury that cost him the majority of the offseason... so, not shocking he wasn't out there over Cager. Agree to disagree, on Conklin and Uzomah being people the staff would love nothing more than to see leapfrogged by your rookie TE. Why did we even sign if we can't wait for them to overtaken. Makes no sense. I'm not saying Ruckert has set anything on fire... just that any narrative about Jeremy "struggling" to assert himself is garbage. "oh he had a drop!" Well, i guess we should throw in the towel and burn him at the stake then. Fair enough, but they sign these guys before the draft. You sign guys to fill your roster and then draft the guys you want. His drop was pretty bad. Bad enough that I still think about it, compounded by the fact that he hasn't had another target. I think they will sneak him in games until he gets another one. Target not drop. Ruckert is the kind of guy I generally write off (I'm not) because he seemed NFL ready coming from a big program and then doesn't actually seem ready. I am usually wrong about that - I remember thinking Pouha was worthless since he was an older prospect that wasn't getting it done early on. Then he hit 30 and Rex came on board and he was suddenly a key contributor. I guess Ruckert is also still a couple of years younger than Cager and Yeboah. *When I say I write them off, I don't mean I want to cut them. I just lower my expectations drastically. That might not seem like much, but I am a guy that had expectations for Clyde Gates and Jeff Cumberland. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetBlue Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 I liked the Ruckert pick but man I really would have loved if we had went for Jelani Woods. Not just for this season, but he looks he is going to be a problem for years to come. Lets hope can get some PT this year so we can see if we need to take another TE (mid rounds) in next years draft; in fact we should probably take one anyway. You can't have enough quality TEs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jet Nut Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Between the 2 TEs we have 54 receptions with 5 games to go? Not bad, especially when one is in mostly as an additional blocker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Great #2 tight end. Average starting tight end. TE should definitely be a need in the offseason unless they really believe Ruckert is the answer. It's part of the reason the Jets dont have a good redzone strategy. They lack that big physical receiveing tight end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry McCockinner Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Just bumping to reiterate how much this guy sucks. Need less Conklin, less Berrios and more TDs on offense. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballLove Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Our TEs are OK....but Mike White needs to be told "if we throw the ball 40 times, all 40 throws MUST go to #17.

He doesn't seem to be able to come down with anything if it's not exactly in the right spot. I like his speed and athleticism though. Ball hits him in both hands. ”It should have been perfectly thrown.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE BARON Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 jets have not had a good TE since mickey schuler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 He will be good next year. Not sure why there is a burp in his development, he showed really good blocking and receiving imo but then again it might be our ohio state curse. We hit on Mangold and Garret Wilson and then had The boar hunter, Darron Lee, Devin Smith, Vernon Gholston. Mike Nugent 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that everyone has a bad game, but any receiver - WR, RB, or TE - with three drops should be yanked. Gimme a break. You couldn’t field the team. Everyone would get yanked. ??♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pure speculation, the coaches know this better; Carter's failure to pick up blitzes may factor in here going forward, if Ruckert can fill the h-back role. And Ruckert played with force at OSU with Garrett Wilson. Readily admit; this is one guy talking out his...., grasping at straws because think this kid's career at Ohio State was very promising(and being a local kid and his dad being a LI Jets fan).

JetBlue Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I was okay with drafting Ruckert but I really preferred either Jelani Woods or Isiah Likely. Not sure if they were still on the board, but if they were, I might have gone that route. I know Jets would have lost their minds if we took another TE other than Ruckert but Woods is already looking like a beast and Likely is also contributing and looks like a player. I hope Ruckert gets an opportunity this year but seeing how they are in a playoff push, Saleh will probably stay with his vets unless there is an injury. Lets hope he can show out next year. I would not be adverse to drafting another TE in the Middle rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And unless Kelce, Kittle or Andrew's were made available you aren't going to get much better in free agency Here is my partial list of better TE's in the league, it extends past Kelce Kittle and Andrews. Criteria is TE's that if targets will catch and can also be a advantage over our TE's due either to skill or natural talent. TO your point of FA I guess you are right I do not know what is out there. But the original intent of paying and bringing those TE's in was for our team to be able to use the Two TE sets and take advantage of mismatches. That has not happened every time we dial it up they fail to bring the ball in over and over. a complete failure. I wish there were better. Foster Moreau Mark Andrews George Kittle Dawson Knox T.J. Hockinson David Njoku Dalton Schultz Evan Engram Travis Kelce Tyler Higbee Greg Dulcich Jordan Akins Will Dissly Cameron Brate Gerald Everett Daniel Bellinger Austin Hooper Pat Freiermuth Nick Vannett Cade Otton Chigoziem Okonkwo Mike Gesicki Isaiah Likely Noah Gray Noah Fant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
