124 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Guess Kenyota couldn't cut it. Should be interesting to see if Hicks can even make the roster. Don't know where he'll play, I'm guessing DE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachTsurfing Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I wish we would bring in a NT, doesn't have to be Adams, but we do needs some depth. And don't give me that Pouha crap being the back-up. I'm talking about someone that can play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryno the Jet Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Nice, consistent numbers and better than I expected. I realize the Chiefs were not known for their "D" during Hicks' tenure, but he has basically been a starter in the NFL since 99, with decent numbers to boot. All of this with knowing we are currently stacked at his position makes this a nice signing IMO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I missed the fact that the career bio posted here stopped at 2004; my assessment was based purely on those numbers. I honestly do not know much about this guy...but someone who has started in this league for as long as he has being brought to compete at a position in which the Jets have nice depth at is a productive situation in my mind; especially since he likely came very cheap.

Thats what they thought of Kimo... and look what happened... He was brought in to fill a space for camp.. I doubt he makes the team... if he does... then good, depth is a good thing.

#27TheDominator Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Guy probably isn't going to solve all our problems, but: He has some ability as a pass rusher. He had 14 sacks in 13 games in '00 and 9 in '02. He has about as many career sacks than Kimo and Bobby H. combined. Might be able to generate some pass rush as a DE. He had a **** year last year, but was solid for seven years before that and he would not be the only useful player that failed to perform under Herm. He's old, but he's five years younger than Kimo and Bobby H. He's past his prime, but he's not a dinosaur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 If Deon Branch can win a Super Bowl MVP anyone can. Not all of us have a QB who NEVER chokes, who is never hurt, they have a player called Tom Brady. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gainzo Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Not all of us have a QB who NEVER chokes, who is never hurt, they have a player called Tom Brady. Cotch makes plays even with Chad throwing him the ball. Thats the sign of a good player. If Chad was throwing balls to Deon it would be a different story. Deon needed Brady while Cotch makes Chad look better than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 So the DE competition is between these guys mainly: Haynes Hicks Hamilton Ellis von Oelhoffen Coleman No way all of these guys make the roster, obviously, especially with Bowens and Wadsworth at OLB, and who even knows if Wadsworth makes the roster.

I'd guess kimo and Haynes stick behind Coleman and Ellis. Dunno about the UDFAs at DE, but I'd say a good one would have a shot here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking both Kimo & Bobby stay and Haynes & Hicks are gone by September 9th. Why? Both Kimo & Bobby are Mangini guys more so than Haynes & Hicks, have been in the system for years (with the Jets, Pittsburgh, New England and Oakland, combined) and both can play some Nose Tackle as well. I think the DE / NT rotation looks somewhat like this: Starters: DE - Ellis NT - Robertson DE - Coleman Reserves: DE - von Oelhoffen, Hamilton NT - Pouha, ", " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with your staters. I'm not a fan of "Mangini guys." I want production. I've seen what Kimo and Hamilton bring to the table and I'm not impressed. I'd hope it's one each of Kimo/Bobby H and Hicks/Haynes. I'm with Will a good UDFA has an excellent chance to stick here though Bowens could also see some time at DE.
