Ghost Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Bowens would be an upgrade if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEWARK STAR LEDGER Bowens is pretty good and if they are after him I trust their judgement as to knowing who does and who does not fit in to their system.

I agree with both of the previous statements. He is an upgrade and I certainly trust the new FO regime. My question was the proven pass russher part, as I am not sure his pass rushing skills rank very high league-wide and that would not really be his role here anyway.

Bowens has told his friends that he wants to play for the Jets. ...That comment alone makes me want him in Jets colors... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, when a player has a pre-determined desire to play somewhere or for someone or both, it is a win-win; unless said player is garbage, of course...but Bowens would be a nice addition.

#27TheDominator Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Was Clement released or a FA? I was under the impression he had a 1 year deal. Considering how cheap he was I can't imagine them cutting him without a backup plan. I figured they just offered him backup money and he's looking for a better deal.

I guess they are referring to his 6 sacks in limited duty last year. If they are going to get rid of Barton and move Hobson inside as I've been hearing, Bowens seems like he would be a good fit at OLB opposite BT. Time will tell.

Jetlag Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 David Bowens is old and he sucks... PASS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 David Bowens is old and he sucks... PASS. He's 28. I think he'd be a decent player, not sure how good he is in coverage though at the 3-4 OLB spot. But he'll give us a good 4-3 DE look that we dont currently have on the roster.

But he'll give us a good 4-3 DE look that we dont currently have on the roster. Actually his birthday is 7-3-77, making him 30 years old before the season starts. We don't need a 4-3 DE, BT can always put his hand down if necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need a 4-3 DE, BT can always put his hand down if necessary. Bowens has something like 19 sacks the last 3 years combined, in a part time role, which I believe is what he will be here. Maybe he starts at OLB for a yr or 2, and allows Hobson to go inside, but Bowens wont be a long term answer so I wouldnt worry about him getting a big contract (if we sign him).

Bravejamriot Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 I agree with the dominator. Thomas was a bust until last year. You don't want him playing DE again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
