TNJet Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Theres no way Bender will be any worse than AJ,this guy is clueless when it comes to technique,and seems very soft.I myself look for Blanton and Bender to get his reps at backup OG and RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewilly Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I think bender is a project that won't see much of the field this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawngnome o-line Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I think bender is a project that won't see much of the field this year I think he is also a project to possibly take over for either jones or kendall, when either of them are released after the year is over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Short answer...... no Jones provides good depth and knows the system... he will stick around as a backup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonehands Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Jacob Bender = Marko Cavka At this point, this is the only comparison I can make. Late draft picks from smaller schools with the physical skills to play in the league. Hopefully, Bender develops into a better player on day.

124 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Who knows what Bender will become. He's a project and could eventually replace Clement but it isn't happening in 2007. As for Jones, he's a serviceable back-up and what exactly has Ed Blanton done besides being born with freak size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Adrian Jones will be a KC Chief by August and prolly a starter by September Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for Jones, he's a serviceable back-up and what exactly has Ed Blanton done besides being born with freak size? well he did start at RT for UCLA for a few years,and if im not mistaken they had a pretty well ranked run offense.He was also invited to the combine last year and expected to be a mid round selection in 2006.I personally think a T with 6-9 330 lb stature always will be productive on the line somewhere.

AVM Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Adrian Jones will be a KC Chief by August and prolly a starter by September Now now, give KC some credit, thats not how things operate down there. They'll meet with Jones in June, he'll be "staying with the Jets for the forseeable future" in July, and he'll be starting at LG(why LG you ask? b/c it makes no sense, thats why) by the time the season starts up!

Ghost Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 If you guys think that Bender is the future RT or RG, there must be something wrong. I mean of course, there is a chance, but I don't think it will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyLV Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Gil Brandt on Sirius yesterday said that he thinks that Bender will be the starting RT on the Jets this year. He may be a real steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember Jim Mandich grousing on the radio down here (WQAM used to be Dolphins flagship station) about how the Jets were always able to find OLmen in the late rounds to be quality starters...let's hope we do it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterNorth09 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Gil Brandt on Sirius yesterday said that he thinks that Bender will be the starting RT on the Jets this year. He may be a real steal. You better hope so. The Jets didn't do anything else to try to upgrade the O-line this year. Kendall is almost finished, Brandon Moore and Anthony Clement are both just average. Add to the mix that D'Brick isn't the God-send everyone thought he would be and the only thing making the 2007 Jets O-line better than 2005 is Nick Mangold.

rick34125 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 bender will surprise. he's a mauler with an attitude and intelligence and something to prove. he's my sleeper pick of the draft. i just wouldn't count on his being ready for this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
