hoping4ASuperBowl Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 David Clowney practiced with the Jets' first-team offense Wednesday and appears to have passed Chansi Stuckey on the depth chart. "Mr. August" has earned it by leading the Jets in preseason receiving. Only Troy Williamson, Chris Henry, Bills TE Jon Stupar, and Chad Ochocinco have more yards. The deep threat has struggled with drops throughout his three-year career, so Clowney won't have job security. The Jets may also acquire another wideout before Week 1. But for now, Clowney is worth consideration at the end of non-PPR drafts. Stuckey will stay active in the slot. http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/08/kellen_clemens_disappointed_at.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People state that he's dealt with dropping the ball in his years in the NFL but I say this, that must be in practice because in real games this dude catches the football.

AFJF Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 This is great news IMO. It's been a long time since the Jets have had a legit burner as a starting WR. The guy doesn't have to be great either. Just make enough catches to make defenses have to account for him and open things up underneath for Keller at TE and Stuckey in the slot.

hoping4ASuperBowl Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 Santana was a burner. And a damn good guitarist! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFJF Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Santana was a burner. I know he was. I guess it just depends on what you consider to be "a long time". IMO, in todays NFL if it takes a team 4-5 years to acquire a WR fast enough to scare a defense, you took too long. This is aside from the fact that despite his speed it was a waste of time because our QB couldn't reach him on a fly route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villain_the_foe Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Did you just say real games? Yes, I said real games. Just because the games dont count towards your season statistics doesnt mean that Clowney didnt play a real game of football against other NFL teams.

And I'm happy to hear he is taking reps at WR2. Stuck is more for the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GandWFan Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Actually i was at practice today and Clowney was back with the second team. Brad " i can't catch in the games but look good in practice" Smith was back with the starters. WTF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

124 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 He should be working with the first team. I'm sick and tired of Brad Smith and his 97 chances. Screw him. He is good for reverses and trick plays, nothing else. Stuckey should be lined up in the slot, along with Keller and Cotchery and Clowney on the outside.

I think Stuckey is a better all around and polished receiver than Clowney, but Stuckey is better in the slot than outside. Starting Clowney on the outside gives us a deep threat that defenses have to pay attention to if nothing else. And you are right about Smith. Makes absolutely sensational catches in practice, but sucks in games - real or pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Ugh. Can we please stop dicking around and just get a REAL receiver in here? I like Clowney and Stuckey, but not as starters. Get someone across from Cotch, keep Stuckey in the slot and make Clowney your deep threat # 4 on passing downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he'd been playing well enough to start as the post suggested was possible and we never got Braylon, he would only need to make an occassional catch to keep defenses honest.
