Columbia Jet Fan Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Justin McCariens. Ok Ok, he is not the only one and the Jets have had a bunch of people "save" their season. But yesterday, when Pennington threw what should have been an easy pick, J-Mac, who has been killed for character issues earlier came back played D and helped the fins defender miss the pick (although he would have missed it initially he could have easily grabbed it after it bounced off his hands...j-mac hit him before he could). I have seen guys like Plex give up on plays so many times, and for J-mac to do the right thing there shows Mangini's influence. Plus he made a nice catch on our second longest play of the game, that I believe set up our FG. So while Leon, Mangini and Chad get all the hype (and rightfully so) just remember that J-macs move could very well be the reason we get to watch Jets football in 2 weeks.

Jmac has absolutely stepped up the last few weeks, maybe he sticks around after all. Hey, we could have a worse #3 receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Very true, and he has had a few big catches. If we can re-work his contract he is worth keeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jmac has been a decent receiver for years... experience does count, Smith hopefully will pass Jmac but not this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

war ensemble Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Yeah and this fella you're talking about almost tanked our season, but luckily the Phin's cornerback didn't wrap him up which allowed Justin to catch it. If he wrapped him up and got the interception, he would've been the guy that ruined our season. He made a mistake and luck saved him. So basically if we go by this then luck saved our season.

LionelRichie Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 jmac is gone after the season. he almost dropped an easy catch on the sideline and probably would have dropped it if the db didn't help him out. you just don't see coles and cotch drop balls with the frequency that jmac has throughout his entire jets tenure. the funny thing is - we still wouldn't know what cotch was capable of if herm was still here.

Columbia Jet Fan Posted December 27, 2006 Author Share Posted December 27, 2006 I think its about time the Jets got a little luck in their lives... J-Mac is a better receiver than Brad Smith now, but Smith has wayyyy more potential. Anyone else still waiting on the WR reverse pass from brad smith? I thought for sure we would have seen it by now...maybe Manginis saving it for the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any receiver on our team would have done the same thing, Mangini wouldn't allow any less. While it'sw nice for JMac that he happened to be the guy standing there to make that play so you can declare him personally as the guy who saved our season, it is the coaches meticulous attention to detail that has this team at 9-6 right now. Wallace Wright had the presence of mind to grab hold and tackle his own teammate when he was falling towards the goal line on punt coverage. Those are the things that make an otherwise bad to mediocre team a playoff contender. Had he been standing where McCareins was on that pass, rest assured he would have done the same thing. I don't care what happens around the rest of the league, what Mangini has done with a rag tag bunch of players is astounding and he deserves the COY award without question.

sirlancemehlot Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 J-Mac saved our season? By knocking down a football he couldn't catch? Aren't recievers supposed to do that? J-mac = zero separation. J-Mac = dropped balls. J-Mac = rediculously expensive for a third reciever that was nearly overtaken by Tim Dwight and couldn't show up in shape for training camp. Glad he saved our season though. I wish you would have told me that before I sent those fruit baskets to Sean Ellis for his last minute sack of Tom Brady and Leon Washington for his 70yd screen pass on Monday.

SouthernJet Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 another example of a turd who stinks all year and then is a savior and all forgotten when he helps in a big game. Lets not forget this Hermafite couldnt adapt at 1st to a real coach and showed up out of shape (why wouldnt he, you didnt need to be at Herms camps),, so he was out of Manginis plans for most of year. So while you praise him for the Miami game, then you must say he could have helped in the 6 losses this year when he was inactive and/or on bench. Sorry, I am not ready to thank him for the season. If he was game ready on day one we might be 11-5 or better. Now, having said that, if Eric thinks he has cleansed McCariens of his turdish-Herm attitide then I am all for re-signing him for next year at a reduced rate (I favor Brad Smith as the #3 WR next year). My guess is that McCariens goes back to easy practices and signs with KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetophile Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 He probably got a talking to after not fighting for balls in the Buffalo game. But c'mon, that's not something you'd THINK you'd have to tell a guy. It's no mistake he steps up in just that way shortly after he FAILED to do so. EDIT: I think McCareins just didn't feel he "fit" here, and he has played under personal adversity after being in the doghouse this year (his fault), along with poor play that followed him after his lackluster and heartless '05 performance. He never seemed mentally focused, out of his element, depressed...? But it's his job. Still strikes me as a guy with an inner gazelle. Or maybe I'm just an idiot. You know if he goes elsewhere he's a Hall of Famer. Hehe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know if he goes elsewhere he's a Hall of Famer. Hehe. Bingo. Mangini actually mentioned "the receiver not fighting for the ball" after that game. It's as close to insulting a player in public as I've seen. McCareins only did what he was supposed to, besides the ball already had hit the idiot in the helmet. McCareins can be valuable. He is very talented (albeit extremely overpriced) for a #3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DireJet38 Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Meh, the Jets got scammed when he burned us on Monday night in a Titans uniform. He's soft. He makes too much cash. I personally can't wait for him to be off our roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachTsurfing Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Well, I have to give Jmac credit. He has been doing a decent job both mentally and physically. A lot of players would have whined and complained about being benched. Physically it's hard to come in on only a few plays when you're a rythm receiver make a few catches and then sit down. I think he is playing hard for a few reasons. He wants to show he can play and maybe if he doesn't get his starting job back he can get traded or be released and get a decent contract. Oh, there are some receivers out there ala t.o. that will give up on a ball and let the db intercept it. It comes down to the coaches to make players play all aspects of the game. It's the little things that make players great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.I.MikeBleedsGreen Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 Jmac Saved our season ? Where the hell was I at when that happened ? Your joking right? This guy stinks,I really can't wait for him to be off my team!!!!! If anyone saved our season it's Mangini and that's it!!!!
