bear Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 So with the addition of Shepard, possibly Leohnard,and Ivery. Where does Lowery fit in? Revis,and Shepard will start.Rhodes,and Leohnard are our safeties. Ivery is slated to be our nickle back.To be a late round pick I thought Lowery showed a lot of promise last season.

JetsFanNick12 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Lowerly seems like a good number 3 back...and maybe he can even compete for that safety spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take this for what its worth and consider the source. Last night on NFL Network, when breaking down the Sheppard trade, Mike Lombardi mentioned that "the Jets already have two good young corners so Sheppard will possibly be used primarily as a nickelback and in blitz packages." I would be surprised if Sheppard couldn't beat out Lowery for the starting spot opposite Revis but it looks like Lowery will be a part of this team. If nothing else, he represents solid depth at the position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJ667 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 teams need a lot of good corners nowadays, so don't worry about Lowery, he'll find a spot as a corner and safety Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bachelors3 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 You never have enough good corners and I think, based on the $10M contract bonus Sheppard will be a one year wonder. The Jets aren't paying $10M bonuses. I think Lowery will play alot and improve significantly from last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of a few rookie mistakes, that kid played great last year. Guaranteed, Bellicheat would love us to cut Lowery so he could turn him into an All-Pro. Forget Mangini and uber-dunce Sutton's approach. A true defensive-minded genius like Rex Ryan will bring Lowery's talent to the fore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy IRisH Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 I like lowry at times he showed good coverage, he just needs to work on wrap up tackling........they all do really, that was a big problem from the second bills game on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 the speed of the game can overwhelm some players at first. that's why at times Lowery struggled. one of the things he needs to work on is technique. if he solidifies that, he'll be formidable. he's not really fast but he's got quickness, and that is quite important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets aren't paying $10M bonuses. I think Lowery will play alot and improve significantly from last year. All option bonuses are treated like signing bonuses and would not have a 10 mil cap hit. If he his healthy this year and produces as he did in the past it is a lock that the Jets pick up that contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustInFudge Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Lowery would make a good dime back. that's about it. I disagree. Lowery is a good player and he may never be a true #2. But I think he can be a very good nickelback in the mold of Mickens except bigger and stronger. He is a natural football player. Not too many 4th round CB step into a starters role and dont have their ups and downs. Like typical Jets fans, he gets burned a couple of times during his rookie year, and he sucks already. And the old saying goes, a great pass rush can make any CB look all-pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may never be a starting CB in the NFL but he can be a key contributor on a good team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CobraVerde Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 Lowery was a rookie who showed great potential. With Shepard in the mix he can learn from a vet. Revis will max his potential by challenging him. Hell be fine and make contrbutions when called upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SayNoToDMC Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 The Jets could have worse problems then to much depth at corner considering we've tried the last couple years with having none at that didn't work out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xcel2NuFX Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I felt like Lowery was a bit like Otis Smith. The guy either had perfect coverage and made a great play or got beat for a TD. He let up a lot of big plays but you need to consider the fact nobody wanted to challenge Revis so people were not exactly picking on him as much as they were trying to avoid the other side of the field. I think he plays a very tight man coverage and as a rookie hes got a lot of room to grow. Not sure Sheppard is as good as everyone around here is hoping for. Then again I'm not saying he isn't either I just think expectations need to be limited and I wouldn't be surprised to see a pretty nice competition for the starting role our there.
