I know I can. I’ve proven that. Yeah, I always want to contribute, but right now I’m with the Jets, but I definitely want to play more. I definitely want to do what I did last year. . . .

Darnold's Forehead Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I know his injury played a roll in his performance but damn. Trey Hendrickson’s on his way to his 3rd pro bowl in a row with 29 sacks so far the last 2-1/2 seasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude had like a 5 sack season under his belt with a lot of “QB pressures” and it was like they were signing some premiere pass rusher 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We cheer for those two every week, so should he. Seems like a very hard working dude, 100% has the desire a powerful yet limited skill set. If he could stay healthy he could be top 10 to 12 on motor alone, but it still holds true- best ability is availability. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rangerous Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Sometimes the door closes very quickly. Good that he still wants to play but is he can’t beat out huff or Johnson then he’s going to sit. Hopefully the jets can trade him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganggreen305 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Who cares how much we are paying him. He came here bc of AR. That is fine. Now just trade him if you can or bench him. Play the young kids. He looks washed. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I think that you have to take these responses in the context of the questions they are asked. Basically, the guy was pushing him if he wanted to play more. What's he supposed to say? Nah, I just want to sit here on my ass and collect checks? They signed him because he is a good fit for what they want to do. He is a relentless EDGE that has the power to hold up, but will continue to put pressure. He is not a sack demon, but he has the speed to do what we want and still hold up at the point of attack. He also has a good attitude and I am sure he is an inspiration in the weight room. I liken him to Thomas Jones on the other side of the ball. I think JJ was drafted for that role, not that we can't have two, but I am not expecting 15 sacks out of either. Probably not combined. If they can move him? Cool. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can move him? Cool. You do, for sure and I personally have no problem w/ was Lawson said here, he wants to play. I do however, take issue w/ Dalvin Cook acting like he thought he was getting 20 touches a game. He knew he was entering a crowded backfield and was going to play second fiddle to a much much much better player. So while I know he was asked the question, to answer it like that makes him seem like an ass. I cant imagine that he was told he would get 20 touches a game. In fact, I'm pretty sure his line was "I'm here to play whatever role the Jets want me to play. I chose the Jets because I like the vibe and what they're building here"...so, he can kick rocks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 I know it makes complete sense for the Jets to trade Cook and Lawson, but what team in their right mind is going to assume their salaries? I think to make this work the Jets basically have to absorb at least half of each, and for that they get either a late round pick swap or another damaged player.

I agree completely. Sometimes, in addition to context, I consider how much weed most of these guys smoke. They are not the most mature sober bunch. Saying stupid sh*t comes easy. 33 minutes ago, bla bla bla said: A lot of us were pounding the table for Hendrickson. There is a reason the Bengals allowed Lawson to leave in that same offseason they paid Trey. I agree, but I think fit-wise I think they felt Lawson was perfect. Hendrickson actually got a bigger deal and he was considered by many to be a one year wonder - though I guess many of us saw Lawson as a no year wonder. 27 minutes ago, sciond said: Are you in a reverse parallel universe?

Of course, but they are absorbing those salaries anyway. Get a little draft capital, a little financial relief and look good with the players by doing others a solid and saving the lockerroom grumbling.

I will take the 6th rounder over a 6th DE. It does not scare me to let JFM or Johnson play a few extra snaps outside and let Solomon Thomas or Jefferson play a bit extra. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemons bulked up in the offseason and looks like crap since I have 0 faith in him this year. Lawson has been dealing with an injury and is hopefully healthier now. He’s proven to be a solid starting edge in the league and you want to get rid of him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
