Popular Post Larz Posted August 2 Popular Post Share Posted August 2 Finally got a chance to watch it. Cool to see in the LI championship game he blocked a kick , had an interception and sack as a linebacker and scored as a WR. Stud interesting to see the first time he ever got in a 3 point stance was at OSU. Cool to see he won the award for best player in NY a guy with a WR skill set at his size I mean cmon Rodgers has to unlock that this year 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hmhertz Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 I'd fire Middleton. Was aware of the great plays he made at Ohio State, but they were sporadic. Seeing his olverwhelming HS career and how dismal pro stats compared to other TEs who came out about the same time. Bellinger's career stars are much better and the Giants have drafted a guy to replace him 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having the worst QB play in the history of football probably has something to do with this yeah ? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Jets would have had Travis Kelce coming out of college sitting behind Ozmuah and Tomlinson, I'm pretty sure of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 The stars are aligned for him this year. Jets will be significantly better if he can step up. Rooting for him. Would be a great next chapter in the story. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its strictly a playing time situation with Ruckert. He was drafted to a team with 2 veteran TEs in front of him - which was fine as a rookie. The issue was that the staff insisted on continuing to play Uzmah over him last year when it was clear that Ruckert was the better player. He will have a solid year behind Conklin this season and depending on the cap savings, may replace him as the starter in 2025. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Conklin/Ruckert is an above average TE 1/2. If it becomes Ruckert/Conklin because of what Ruckert does on the field, would be Top 10. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death2NE Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 same thing stood out to me. guy was ultra productive as a receiver in HS, and made big plays at Ohio State (in limited opportunities). i am really wondering whats holding him back.That’s pretty easy , opportunity and Zach Wilson … I can’t remember a time the ball was thrown his way and he didn’t catch it and he displayed his ability to make difficult grabs in the chiefs game … he only started seeing any playing time at all because the Uzomah injury forced the clowns that coach our team to get him on the field , Mr gold zone didn’t even know Breece hall was a useful receiver til mid season , what are the chances he knew how to utilize ruckert ? He’s going to make an impact in the pass game this year with Rodgers , he’s always gonna be where Rodgers needs him and he will almost always secure the catch which he will appreciate . I suspect he’ll be big part of moving the chains on 3rd and 2-5sSent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJCAP2 Posted August 6 Share Posted August 6 Thanks for posting, brought back some good memories.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I wonder if he just lacks the instincts as a receiveing TE. Some guys just have the footbal IQ and they know when the QB needs you to move from your original route to get open etc, QB is getting flushed out of the pocket etc, having eyes on the back of your head, finding the open zones on the defense etc. Not saying Ruckert doesnt have those traits but if he doesnt progress this year, then I would have to guess he just doesnt have a feel for the position. TE position requires a high football IQ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death2NE Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 I do t understand why everyone is so confused about production , it’s only year 3 , he was injured almost all of year 1 and last year he didn’t start regularly playing at least 30% of the snaps until maybe like week 6 … rightfully , he was the #2 te behind Conklin and never playing more than MAYBE 50% of snaps in a dismal offense that set punting records because of qb play combined with totally clueless coordinator … I watched the kid in high school he was teammates with my brother for their first LI champ game and he was pulling down 1- handers along the sideline as a 13 year old against seniors … the downfield catch ruckert made in the chiefs game , expect WAY more of that in a Rodgers led offense . His hands are more than reliable , as he showed in college he can make insane grabs I’ve seen it for a decade now … I just don’t understand why people evaluate him like he’s been healthy for both of his first two seasons or like he’s actually been given receiving opportunities where he disappointed. Him and Conklin are going to be an above average te duo in the pass game , I can’t speak for the blocking aspect Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet_Engine1 Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 I like Ruckert and think he'll be a solid, productive, average NFL player for the Jets. That's about it. Anything beyond that would be a pleasant surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethead Posted August 13 Share Posted August 13 Off to a mediocre start. Perhaps not all his fault but based on his performance as a Jet to date no reason to be optimistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
