RSJ Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Really good signing for the Jets. Dyson is a solid corner ++ If Miller was/is ready to start this year, he'll find his way on the field. Competition is a good thing, and really your top 3 corners will get alot of action anyways. Even if Miller wont start, he wont ride the bench Bj Askew style. I'd still like to grab Devin Hester with our 3rd comp pick or our 4th rder. He'll be a GREAT return man - even better than Miller was last year, and he's got some skills to work with at corner. Hester would be a perfect fit as a 5th or 6th CB and KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMJets Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Why was Dyson released by Seattle after 1 year??? Money? Yep. They saved a lot of money by releasing him. I think they knew when they signed him it was just going to be a one year thing, a move to try and push them over the hump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like the deal we signed him to is geared towards actually being for the long term rather than just 1 or 2 years, I'm happy with that.

NYJ EcKo151 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 This is flat out excellent news...With speedsters such as Dyson and Miller, things are looking good at Cornerback for awhile:cheers:. Man with the guidance of Mangini, Miller and Dyson and be a damn good tandem...I'm happy as hell with this signing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Hester has no position. As of now, he is just a return man. So is Jeremy Bloom, who might also be a home run threat at WR, and he can probably be had a couple rounds later than Hester. No thank you on first day picks to guys that don't have a position. While we are rebuilding, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While we are rebuilding, anyway. 3rd rd comp pick is the last pick of the 1st day, so there's not much difference. Skyler Green cannot hold Hesters jock as a return man. Living down here in SW FL I watch the cane games, and in Hesters sophmore year he made some nice players at corner, I think he had more interceptions than Antrel Rolle. He's got skills. Looking at past drafts, how many 3rd rd picks pan out, let alone contribute anything to their teams? At least with Hester you know you get an amazing return man, dante hall like. Teams will crap their pants kicking off to Hester. If there's a better player still on the board, I'd take him over Hester, but we'll see. The draft will be here soon enough.

shutout Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Just a thought to throw out there to some of the people who think David Barrett's days are numbered: Erik Coleman,while solid last year,did regress from his rookie season a bit. If he fails to develop further than he already has,Barrett could potentially move over. Just something to think about as,if I remember correctly,when we initially signed Barrett his story was he'd probably be a borderline 2/3 CB who could potentially be better off at SS.

I think I'd love Barrett over at safety but at corner I just don't see a starter who I like and who I think can step up and be a legit starter in the NFL. I see good play and a great future with Dyson and Miller but not with Barrett. He'd be better suited as a #3 or #4 Corner or a starting Safety. I do remember the talks 2 years ago when we brought him in that he could be either a starting Safety or Corner or #1 back-up corner on this team. But, it's only been 2 years for Coleman so far and his rookie season was a damn good one so lets not jump too soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like Coleman,don't get me wrong...I was just throwing it out there for sake of discussion. Tangini has got themselves a nice young secondary,all they need is some coaching. Dyson,Miller,Strait,Barrett,Coleman,Rhodes,and Washington with Eric Mangini coaching them. Its exciting to know that young talent won't go to waste anymore.

PatsFanTX Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 We have no reason to cut Barrett. He may be inconsistent at times, but he is very solid. He kills physical receivers. Smartest post in the thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergen Jet Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 This move is perfect on so many levels. 1) The contract is great for a quality number 2 corner, which is what Dyson is. 2) I have complete faith in any player that Mangini wants brought in for the secondary. I love bringing in Mangini as a head coach despite his lack of experience but there isn't even a Patsie troll that would deny the man is a fricken genius when it comes to the secondary. 3) This move was done completely under the radar. No more of this BS everybody knows what the fricken hell we are trying to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BwanaZulia Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Really a good signing. The Tangini era has begun and is doing a-ok. Low cost, high quality guys with lots of upside. By the time we get to the draft, we might be in a great position. BZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlag Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 Great signing! Now why is everyone hating on Barrett??? The dude had some incredible games on some very tough receivers. I think he slumped in '05 (what part of the team didn't?) but the year before he was a force the second half of the season. The man has potential for sure and he's 28. I'm not saying he should be our #1, but I certainly have no problem with him at #2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHT STALKER Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 It's a fantastic signing, don't get me wrong with I'm about to say. But, we need to get that front fixed in a hurry. Forget about sacking the QB, we need to bring hell on that QB and without that, signings like Dyson doesn't mean much. We could have the best of the best in that defensive backfield, but if we're not bringing pressure on that QB, any WR will find an open spot eventually if he has time to separate.

I love Dyson but I hate that Miller is now going back to the bench. miller will start,,, barrett not a mangini type,,too many mental mistakes,, westhoff told me miller will be a star and doesnt know if he would have him back as a punt returner next year,,he is strting, believe me,, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
