MiamiJet Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 There's been a lot of talk about Terry Bradway's plans or options to upgrade the OL and DB positions. Given Adrian Jones inexperience and Donnie Abraham's talk of retirement, it would be wise for the FO to bring in an experienced vet for either position. Options for the OL will not be hard to come by. With the Cards-Bills deal for Shelton/Henry falling apart, Green will most likely cut Shelton. There are more optins available, as far as the OL is concerned, but not as many when it comes to the corner back spot. Until now. No, I am not talking about RW McQuarters, but someone whom Herm loves, someone whom Herm has worked with, and someone who just might be available come June 1st. Ronde Barber. According to this blurb I found in Profootballweekly.com, it reiterates the rumors that have come out of Tampa. Barber wants to get paid and Tampa has Brian Kelly to worry about. I bet Herm and Terry have been watching this closely. What do you guys think about this? Anyway, enough of me, here's the article. http://www.profootballweekly.com/PF...m?mode=nfcsouth Buccaneers face a touchy situation with Barber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Don't need him. We have Justin Miller! Seriously though, we could use a veteran to replace Donnie Abraham. Barber or Law fit the bill if they aren't too pricy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Troll Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 If Ty Law doesn't become a Jet, then Barber definitely will. Herm would love to have one of his ex-Tampa players on board. Plus, as far as I know, neither is a godfather to the other's children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barton Posted May 11, 2005 Share Posted May 11, 2005 Ronde Barber is a very underrated player. Signing him would bolster our D for sure, but it would definetly stunt the growth of Justin Miller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Miller is ready to play, he will play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the heck is J.Miller gonna start in the next 2 years if we sign Barber, and keep Barrett at cornerback. Miller would be SOL and a great talent might never see the light of day in a Jets uniform.

MiamiJet Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 How the heck is J.Miller gonna start in the next 2 years if we sign Barber, and keep Barrett at cornerback. Miller would be SOL and a great talent might never see the light of day in a Jets uniform. With more and more teams using spread formations, getting Miller on the field would not be a problem. The Pats, Rams, Titans, Texans and Colts often use mutiple widoeut formations, so having good, solid corners is a necessity. With Detroit drafting Mike Williams and Oakland resigning Porter and trading for Randy Moss, we NEED Miller and Strait,and they could see extensive time, while giving us insurance. I believe in the best player playing, regardless of draft selection or contract. We signed Tongue and Coleman stole his job. Same with Vilma. Leave it up to competition and may the best man win. It only helps our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Law McQuarters Barber sh*t, I'd take either 1 of those 3 over Miller or Strait because it looks as if Strait is polished to be the nickel and Miller is a year or two away from starting...he needs to focus on returning first.

faba Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 With all the teams going with multple formations trying to create mismatches it creates the need for cover guys I do not think you can have enough quality people in the secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alk Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 You guys are missing something here. Barber said he wants to be paid. Meaning, he doesn't feel he's getting enough as it is and is expecting more. What makes you think the Jets are going to dish out that kind of money? Oh that's right, Herm is his former coach and he's just an all around good guy, I'm sure Barber will come play for nothing but Herm's BBQ every sunday after the game.

jimfire Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 WE NEED YJF TO LETS US KNOW WHAT KIND OF CAP $ WERE LOOKING AT. GETTING RID OF ABRAHAM AND MAYBE A FEW MORE RELEASES. WHAT KIND OF MANUVERABILITY WE HAVE. IF NOT FOR RONDE THEN AN O LINEMAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how big of an upgrade he's looking for. Anyway, I don't think we need him, or Law for that matter. Strait, Miller, Mickens, Barrett, and a dozen safeties on this current roster. The D was better than average last year. F-it, go cheap and groom some depth from within. Corners are now expendable thanks to the rule changes.
