BoomBoomMancini Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Where does he fit in? I think he played DE in the 3-4 last year, but he is way too small.. 18 sacks in 3 years though.. as a reserve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thai Jet Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 At 6'3" 265 he seems kinda small for a 3/4 DE unless the FO is thinking differently. He was paid 2.3 mil. in 2005 according to Fox. Let's just get Banta-Cain and fullback Justin Griffith in here for at least interviews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 It is hard to say where Bowens fits in. I think perhaps the Jets will sign him to play as an end when they go to a 4-3 during certain situations. It is all about situational play and flexibility from both the players and the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4HCrew Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I say give him the same money as Kimo...they fit the same bill...useless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetCane Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Where does he fit in? I think he played DE in the 3-4 last year, but he is way too small.. Not to outright second guess the decision to go to away from the 4-3, but doesnt it seem like the Jets just dont have enough size to really excel in the 3-4?

oktaren Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 there is no way he could play as a situational 3-4 pass rushing outside linebacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How dare you question the gang green football lords! My bad. We have no genuine NT, no monster DEs, and our best defensive player looked like a fish out of water in the 3-4. But hey, what do I know- I'm just a big fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow I'd never even HEARD of Justin Griffith until you just brought his name up Thai-but me likey.....in his career here are his #'s 81-378 4.7 and 19 first downs as well as being the blocking back for the NFL's top rushing team...not too shabby-bring him to Long Island and buy the guy a steak Mike T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Bowens will be a guy who will line up wide on 3rd and long and make a bull-rush to the passer-hey if he can get us 7-8 sacks I say it's a great move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 A healthy Pouha will solve all the problems. When Sione "Pooh Bear" Pouha is on the field, no Offensive Lineman, Running Backs or Quarterbacks are safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoFlaJets Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I think it a case of throwing our new D-Line coach a bone-give him something to work with that he has confidence with-Bowens is big and strong and maybe Quinn thinks HE could be as good as anybody we have here now-or better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Dolphins have released DE Kevin Carter and G Jeno James, the team announced. (Dolphins have yet to release Joey Harrington. His roster bonus is not due until next week, so they have some time.) If we are visiting with any Miami Dolphin DE it should be with Kevin Carter. Yes he's been in the league since 95 but he has both 43 and 34 defensive experience in St.Louis, Tennessee & Miami. I'd much rather bring him in for 1 or 2 seasons in a role much like what Bobby Hamilton did last season but more playing time more than David Bowens.

DaBrick Wall Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 He will probably be an OLB in our 3-4 system. I don't know what you guys are all complaining about. He might not be a starter, but he's a top backup and, who knows, he might surprise. He's a low risk, low cost option that has averaged 6 sacks in the last 3 years as a reserve. Everyone on this board is acting like a bunch of babies. If it's not a big name, let's all bitch and moan about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can rush the passer he'll at least be a situational player. As long as he's not expensive. Plenty of more talent will be waived between now and training camp and it'll be there for the picking as long as we have $$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
