SoFlaJets Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 By Dan Leberfeld Posted Nov 23, 2006 The Jets claimed Houston Texans safety Guss Scott on waivers. The timing of this decision is intriguing. Not only do the Jets get a defensive back that Eric Mangini liked from his time in New England (Scott was a Patriots draft pick), but they can pick his brain about the Texans, who the Jets play on Sunday. Scott obviously knows a great deal about the Texans defensive playbook, especially their secondary. He can help the Jets exploit weaknesses. Also, he faced the Texans offensive every day in practice, so he knows a great deal about that playbook as well. This could turn into a real smart decision by Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum.

Maxman Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 That lost roster spot has become a revolving door. But it is smart. If McClover is being honest about the onside kick last week (he said he knew it was coming because Rhodes lined up on a different side) then there is a lot of merit to having someone with so much knowledge of the other team.

Not only can he help out this week but if he's a Mangini favorite he may be sticking around for a while... don't know if I'm too thrilled about yet another safety though. Kerry Rhodes Erik Coleman Rashad Washington Eric Smith Gus Scott Eh... well I guess 5 is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted November 23, 2006 Author Share Posted November 23, 2006 Saw significant action on the punt-block, kick-return and punt-coverage teams over his career, in addition to starting at both free and strong safety another multi-positional Mangini-type that can also excel on special teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
