NIGHT STALKER Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I'd like to get a feel from this board which player has progressed more so far in the two years they've been on the club? Michael Clemons or Jermaine Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FidelioJet Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Tough to know who progressed more - but I think JJ is now and will continue to be the better player. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetkwondo Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Quote Two studs who showed flashes and from all reports are both primed to break out. Hard Knocks will at least make Clemons more well known judging by that barbed wire bat photo. Have to give Clemons the edge just by his always being around the ball but think both will be wreaking havoc. Also Ulbrick said Clemons is a good athlete outside but he's a great athlete inside. JFM future replacement Johnson has got strength on the edge rather than bend. Kind of lump him in as Lawson's future replacement And then there's the wildcard McDonald who has both bend and surprising strength for his body type, thank you jiu jitsu! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetspenguin Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Clemons will make more money....no idea yet who will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I like where both players are. Their stats will look better as their opportunities increase ... both did great against the run in year 1 (edge to Clemons who was dominant) while JJ was moderately better against the pass. He was good relative to other Edges in true pass sets, less so in the base defense. Year 2 JJ needed to improve his get-off time and seems like he has done just that (per camp reports) + gotten more explosive & stronger. Clemons will have the opportunity to rush the passer from the inside where his athleticism (even at 290) should create some competitive advantages. Similar dual role as JFM's. The Jets DLine can beat you in so many ways. Love the versatility; will be tough for the opposing OL to match. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet_Engine1 Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Clemons with a KO in the 2nd. Wait, what? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but I've already asked the League for an exception when on the Patriots sideline. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKlecko Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 I think Clemons may have been ahead at the end of last season, but I think that JJ will ultimtely become the better player. Clemons was never fast or quick. Adding 20 pounds is not likely to make him any faster or quicker. I think he will wind up being a DT rather than an Edge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Jermaine is my pick for breakout defensive player this year. 8-10 sacks and superior edge run defense. All-pro caliber season. Clemons is a good player but he's the lunch pail guy. Course he eats a big lunch, so.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge to Clemons on measurables but neither likely to sniff all pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nj meadowlands Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Hard question to answer at this point, but being able to dispatch a relentless rotation of Lawson, Jermaine, Huff, McDonald, Clemons at opposing QBs is a great damn feeling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Harris Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 JJ has the higher ceiling imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
