McDonald being inactive is something

Not really. Playing the proven veteran over the hotshot rookie is not a bad decision. The Jets are STACKED at edge.

JSN has five catches for 34 yards today

So your point is McDuck will look much better styling team merch on the sidelines?

It’s even better that this year’s draft looks like another flop for Joey D too, doesn’t it?

because we have depth and dont need our rookies to start? laughable take.

They are barely finding playing time for Huff. They have to get rid of Lawson or flip one of the other guys. It’s why McDonald never made sense in the first round. 

When they drafted McDonald they envisioned being ahead in the 4 th quarter and being to unleash the pass rush.   Losing Rodgers changed that scenario, and I dont think they want him playing run defense quite yet.

Giants started their rookie C vs the cowboys last week.  How did that work out?

Wow

whatevs - i wanted the other guy but do they listen to me?

[Sarge4Tide]

If you trolls wants and whiners want McDonald active, give us some else to make inactive.

Active today are:

• 2 QB
• 3 RB
• 1 FB
• 5 WR
• 3 TE
• 8 OL
• 9 DL
• 5 LB
• 5 CB
• 4 S
• 1 PK
• 1 P
• 1 LS

the only other realistic option is Solomon Thomas.  And against Dallas, it seems to make sense to keep a more veteran player who will play more snaps. We have Lawson, Huff, Clemons, and Johnson at DE…and JFM

when I bought my Lambo I envisioned myself winning powerball...I was so sure

 

btw - anyone have a spare room?

I’m saying you could get 5 catches for 34 yards out of Nick Bawden

Maybe it’s me, but I find you defending the 1st and 2nd round picks not playing even more laughable.

Exactly. Jets have 10 quality dlinemen, and it's hard to activate them all.

Huff is more valuable right now, and Clemons is an asset on specials.

McDonald will get his chances - but just not this week.

If Wilson implodes it’s going to be a long year for JD. 

A long year is a good outcome at this point for Douglas.

I mean he was a first round pick. It’s week 2. You find a spot for these guys generally. 

[hawk]

Game plan - No less than 10 Play Action Plays with no less than 5 on 1st down.

So you think Bawden is way more productive than McDuck also? I don’t disagree.

i hope they practiced screens all week - they need to use them is pass rush start hurting them

I’m saying you take the athletic, productive edge rusher over the 4.55-running slot receiver every time

Generally, but not always. McGovern is a top 15 center. Tippman has a higher upside but is not necessarily better at this point. Sitting McDonald behind Jermaine Johnson, Carl Lawson, and Bryce Huff isn't exactly a travesty.

It's something that we pick and chose when to do. At the start of the game, it's something nobody would be expecting.. Let Wilson look over the field and hit the open target. That's basic stuff. Especially when a team wouldn't be expecting it. A little risky. We can't baby Zach, any more. It's his third year. Time to grow up.

I mean, I get it, but it's more high risk than high reward given that it's Wilson. Even if he gets a big hitter to start the game, it's not like his rep suggests that it could be a regular thing they have to worry about. 

Here's hoping he takes another step towards decency. Physical tools are all there.

If we’re so loade at edge maybe just don’t draft another one in the first round?

Love false starts trying to draw defense offsides 🤣

Ah,  now I hear you... You’re saying McDuck is an athletic, PRODUCTIVE edge rusher just like Zach is an elite productive QB and Becton is a productive lockdown LT?

[Larz]

The rookies are having a hard time cracking this talented roster 

[BroadwayRay]

Douglas and Saleh blundered badly by making Wilson the #2 QB. Once they made the decision to surrender future assets for Rodgers and go all in on a Super Bowl chase they needed to sign a real QB as backup. If they were committed to keeping Wilson, then he should have been a rostered #3 QB. It doesn’t matter what the salary allocation for the QB would have been. Getting insurance for a win-now team and a 39 year old QB was essential.  The only thing Douglas has done right as GM is the 2022 draft.

Oops I forgot. JD is playing 3D chess. Draft positions we don’t need help!

No. Basic checkers. Make the best move possible. Drafting BPA and not reaching is basic strategy.

Unbelievable they are banking on ZW not only being good and staying healthy.

They are one Micah Parsons hit away from the Tim Boyle era.

Two hits away from the Randall Cobb era.

Two hits away from the Randall Cobb era.

To be fair .. Randall Cobb might be as good as a third string cannon fodder arm.

Tell you what, @T0mShane watching them today, Lockett and Metcalf are so good, the Hawks might not need a slot guy. 😂

Not surprising at all.  These kids come in and try to compete but w/o being on an nfl PED program, it is very difficult.

He will get on the program this offseason just like JJ did, and will be a stud next year.
