Ghost Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 so my wife asks me "who is this guy Kris Jenkins we just got?" I tell her, ya know how every week we watch the Jets and see these gigantic linemen on the other teams and you always ask me "WHY don't WE have any big fat guys like that?" I told her now we do ahhahahahah!! I'm so happy we got this guy! Hopefully he can make a huge impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthCoastJetsFan Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Jenkins is no sure thing as a NT. Don't get me wrong, I like this trade. But Jenkins' best years were as a 4-3 DT with Mike Rucker and Julius Peppers on the same line. He's not going to have that luxury here. He's going to be double and triple teamed a LOT. Does he have the physical traits necessary to be a NT? Yes. Will he be a good NT? I think the jury is out on that. Position switching in the NFL is not a given, as we found out with Vilma.

JonEJet Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This happens to be a deep, deep draft Don't mind the 5th, but a 3rd too? C'mon, Pats got Randy Moss for a 4th Kris jenkins for a 5th is fait, but not a 3rd and 5th DOn't like it.....draft picks are gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 ahhahahahah!! I'm so happy we got this guy! Hopefully he can make a huge impact. the game is won and lost in the trenches Ghost-the old addage still applies what I like about the direction we're heading in is how we are strongest defensively right up the middle with Rhodes, Harris and now Jenkins-it's like great baseball teams have to be strong and solid up the middle same thing with football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but at least**** he is a PROTOTYPICAL player at that position. That's something that we cannot say at many other positions. if he does not work out, at least I can't kill Tangini with the "he's too small" crap. I am happy with the move...if it doesn't work out, it will be on him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonEJet Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Granted we took a flyer withthis player, and I'm damn glad to have him BUT A third would garner us a solid OLineman But then again, If watching Tanny in the draft these past years, we'll probably be moving down in the 2nd togarner us a 3rd So hopefully it pans for us There is a reason why Carolina let ths guy go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but he should be a whole lot better than scrubs like Robertson, Pouha and Mosely. And if it doesn't work out, we can always fire Mangini and go back to the 4-3.

If he is double and triple teamed then he is doing one hell of a job! You can't look at tackles and sacks for a premier NT. You look at how the ILB's are doing, especially against the run. If the ILB's are getting alot of tackels for little or no gain, then the NT is doing great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetscode1 Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 This is a very good start...KJ is the right choice to fill the hole at NT. Rather have the fat guy with an attitude who calls out teamates for quitting versus the character issues with Rogers. The early deal puts additional pressure on FO to sign Faneca and maybe another OL. The early third rounder could have come in handy for OL help. Hopefully, they are confident they can recoup pick with Drob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachTsurfing Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 good move....a 3rd and 5th is nothing in comparison of getting a proven NFL talent. I like Jenkins, but he better stay healthy. This years draft has a lot of depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kidhuman Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Its unlikely that we would ship out Vilma if we were going 4-3. But if known Vilma would not sign with them after this year, why not get something for him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOExcusesNYJ Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 JENKINS TO SIGN NEW DEAL WITH JETS Former Panthers defensive tackle Kris Jenkins has a new home. He also has a new contract. According to Steve Reed of CarolinaGrowl.com, Jenkins will sign a five-year, $35 million contract with the New York Jets. The Jets acquired Jenkins from Carolina for a third-round and fifth-round draft pick in 2008. The deal includes $20 million in guaranteed money. Apparently, the Jets hope that Jenkins becomes a space eater in the 3-4 defense, allowing linebackers to run free to the ball. Thus, for a change, it won't hurt Jenkins if/when he shows up for a weigh-in, and the scale squeals like a stuck pig. -PFT I told all you guys last night this was gonna happen, but no one believed me It's okay all is forgiven NOTE: THIS MEANS ROBERTSON MUST BE MOVED ASAP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
