AFJF Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Myself and many others have put together 53 man rosters that include Barnes without seemingly giving it a ton of thought. But considering the fact that he led the team in missed tackles this preseason (7) and allowed 15 completions on 15 targets (per PFF), is he that much of a lock to make the roster? It's not as if he's a premium pick out of a powerhouse school. A sixth-round pick out of Western Michigan may need a bit of time before he's ready. Meanwhile, we heard Saleh gushing over Surratt on Hard Knocks. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonkertons Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I think both of them will make the team. They’re obviously high on Barnes so I don’t see them risking losing him. I think there’s ways you can finalize this roster where you can keep guys like Barnes, Kuntz and Dean without really sacrificing much if any of this year’s success. But no I don’t think they’re jumping the gun by not giving up on their 6th round pick from 4 months ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surratt is a lock 🔒 Barnes seems to be like an ADHD kid out there running around in circles. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 I think Barnes makes it, as he is a draft pick with great athletic ability. Teams usually give guys like that a chance. Surratt is a guy we know Saleh likes - but we also know he can make it to the Practice Squad and not be claimed, as he did last year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeNamathsFurCoat Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 A lot of teams supposedly didn't even have a draftable grade on Barnes, so the consensus -- which is not always right obviously -- would be that the Jets reached for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Has things to work on as an LB but his special teams ability will probably have him stick on the 53 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 I feel like I’m constantly seeing terrible things from him. I cannot think of any positives when it comes to Barnes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymangold Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 has suratt played since the HOF game? woulda liked to have kept dean on the roster before him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 6th round, freak athlete, small school tweener...yeah, I assume he'll need some time to develop. He kind of profiles like a Jamal Adams....weakside blitzer, decent run defender who sucks in coverage, makes sense he's a little lost out there.

Popular Post OilfieldJet Posted August 29, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 29, 2023 I like that it’s this type of discussion we are having at this time of year. Worried about keeping a 6th rounder buried on the depth chart. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 His movement skills stand out. Potential is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby816 Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 He had a good preseason and who's what we need from a depth LB. He's quick and can cover for a LB. Something that is useful for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, he played vs. the Giants. Had a few tackles and they're using him on specials too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamal Adams was the most overrated draft pick in the history of America. Was the most deadly cancer of good team culture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
