SoFlaJets Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 In the age of the internet and blogs and fans camp reports has anybody else considered the possibility that the Jets are playing possum? Look at all the camp reports from this summer-I think Chad threw his deepest passes yesterday...30 yards. The Pats CS can read too, will we line up on the 9th in the shotgun and air it out right away to try and catch them off guard? From all reports there isn't even a deep pass in our playbook and defenses are gonna be thinking screen, quick out and slant at best. I don't think Mangini wanted to show the league what we can do...

LWC611 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 No, I do not think we are sandbagging the league. It's preseason, we looked good in one game and bad in another. I would not look any deeper than that at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Hopefully Bender is not moved to Left Guard. I do not want to see this kids development as the future Right Tackle be slowed by one season of need at Left Guard. Adrien Clarke will do a fine job over there once Kendall is shipped out. When I first read your post SoFla I was like, "What the F is he talking about"", but now I saw the article in todays articles and wow, the distraction is close to being gone.

124 Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 No thanks. If Jacob Bender starts at Left Guard this year and then is moved back to Right Tackle to learn the RT position and he is behind a year, I will EXTREMELY f'ing pissed off at this organization. If Bender is moved to LG then he damn well better stay there. Why the f would you slow this kids development? Clarke will do a fine job. This is sickening to me unless Bender stays at LG throughout his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he go to Convict University? I don't know for sure, but the man sure as hell hates everyone who speaks out one word against them. I.E. - He hates a lot of people.

BwanaZulia Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 While I don't think we are sandbagging it, I do think we are playing these pre-season games very tight to the chest. From what I have seen, it is a lot of what we did last year, which teams already have tape on. Again, Mangini seems to be someone who likes to do things quietly.

JetCane Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Damn, and all this time I thought Jetcane was on our side. I must say, that there were several times when I was scanning the field with my binoculars that I saw a coach or player looking right at me. They obviously didnt know i was making mental notes for tc reports, and not for other teams. Little did they know that I am just a simple poster.

Kentucky Jet Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 when we drafted Adrian JONES I gave him a nickname after watching him in one of his 1st pre season games Adrian "The Gate" Jones-we now have Adrian "The Gate" Clarke-I'm rooting for Bender After two games with a new team, he gets a nickname rather prematurely, IMO. Lets give the guy time to get acclimated with his linemates & Offensive scheme. How come nothing was said about him pancaking Kevin Williams Friday night? He also opend a few holes for Leon. Not saying he is the greatest thing since sliced bread but he should get a bit more time to fully develop. HIGH draft choices also struggle on the OL. Clarke struggled but how come his first game, in which he was so good, ( ATLANTA) is now overlooked? Do I want more from him: YES! If we dump guys after only two games, oh well! CHAD has had a few bad games too! Lets see: How about two shutouts last year? Do we call him: "ZERO"?- LOL Does anyone remember the trials and tribulations of B. Moore when he first started at OG for us? How about Kerry Jenkins? Randy Rasmussen? GO JETS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate losing an internet friend for being an uninformed idiot-it's a big difference than if I was being a snarky dick but that wasn't the case. A couple of years ago during either hurricane Francis or Jean my daughter got real mad at me when I opened the front door to go out and smoke a cigarette. Everybody in the house got badly pissed because they said we could lose the roof from the wind pressure-I didn't KNOW that...I was uninformed...I told them you can't be mad at me for being a friggin stupid idiot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loved each and everyone of them also man... Through your TC Reports I have hope in C.Pennington (Even after that horriable pre-season outing, it's just the pre-seaon) I am a huge FSU fan and I knew from the day we drafted Leon that he was goint to be a special player for years to come, but through your TC Reports Cane, I am really pumped up about knowning that Leon wont run into the "NFL Sophmore Jinx" ...

How's that for mixing metaphors? Every year my cousin Anthony calls me and asks me at this time "how do we look?" and I always give him the same answer every year"SUPER BOWL BABY" and he always cracks up. I told him yesterday that every team is so close that it just comes down to a handfull of plays and made kicks and a couple of good calls here and there from the refs as well as NOT getting too many injuries.That's what seperates teams that make the playoffs and teams that pick in the top ten in April...the longer I watch this game the more convinced I become to this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kentucky Jet Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Ask Mangini...I guess he didn't like what he saw either. Eric's whole OFFENSE was putrid in the Minny game. Two days after the game, CLARKE got 2/3 of the snaps with the first team. However, the very first practice after that game, Clarke did practice with the second team while BENDER practiced with the FIRST TEAM with Kendall in an alternate role. Neither you nor I know what is in ERIC's mind, especially with the trade of Kendall apparently imminent. IMO if ERIC felt CLARKE could not do the job , would he even think of trading Kendall? Who really lknows what is going on inside HOFSTRA? Perhaps a trade for a decent OG is imminent or one will be found on the waiver wire. AUG 28 is the first cut down date. GO JETS!
