Ghost Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 http://www.thejetsblog.com/2009/10/15/lito-tells-press-hell-play/ Lito Tells Press He’ll Play Posted on October 15th, 2009 by Bassett Need some good news? CB Lito Sheppard has told the press Wednesday that he will be playing against Terrell Owens, Lee Evans and the rest of the Bills this weekend. “I will be out there on Sunday starting, at full strength. I’m ready to go.” Buffalo might be wounded, but they still have some serious weapons at receiver. It’s good to know that Sheppard will be able to go and help limit some of the Bills best options at bay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL all of the sudden the Dolphag trolls are coming out of the woodworks. You're 2-3 with wins over Buffalo and you barely beat us in your building. Congratulations, what an achievement.

PhinHater Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 So glad he's back. I haven't read any positive news on Strickland though. Anyone hear anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoicsentry Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Strickland was expected to take a couple more weeks than Lito when they both got hurt. From what I've read I'd expect Strickland back at home vs. Miami or the first week after the bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBacker Prime Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I like Lowery still, he's young and only getting better. Pushing him back into the Nickel will be good though, I don't think we lose much between Lowery and Strickland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushing him back into the Nickel will be good though, I don't think we lose much between Lowery and Strickland. I'd personnally rather get Stricklant back than Lito. Lowery can pretty much do what Lito is doing. But he can't be that physical corner that Strickland can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMaynard Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 I guess it will be: Darrelle Revis vs Terrell Owens Lito Sheppard vs Lee Evans Should be. This is why it is big getting Sheppard back. Lowery has improved over last year, but he could not stay with Evans if he was on a motorcycle. Which means Revis would have had to cover Evans leaving a still incomfortable match up of Lowery on Owens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBacker Prime Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 He is terrible in coverage. It's that simple. I completely disagree!! He played great against NO, and covered his spot very well against Miami, and its only his second year. Just saying stuff blindly does not make it true, you can have your opinion even if its wrong.

Just saying stuff blindly does not make it true, you can have your opinion even if its wrong. This is America. The hate wont stop with Lowery. Like he's a ten year vet and hasnt proved to be a Jet. This guys was a 4th round pick last year yet I notice that most hate on him like last years collapse was on his back. If you noticed, the haters said NOTHING about his good performance against the high powered Saints, as well as against Miami. Revis wasnt burnt by just Ginn, He was burnt in the Saints game and if it wasnt for Lowery coming from "behind the play" and catch up to disrupt the WR's angle on the run Revis would have given up two big plays in two weeks instead of one. But haters done see that. If they did it would be much harder for them to validate their hate. Lowery is a good young talent that will prove the haters wrong, but will have haters none the less.

stoicsentry Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Am I the only one that is actually fearing this game a bit? Evans, Owens, Lynch and Jackson are due for a breakout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS17 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 t Am I the only one that is actually fearing this game a bit? Evans, Owens, Lynch and Jackson are due for a breakout. Buffalo's passing game is abysmal. Edwards checks down more than Pennington. The receivers mean squat when you have a QB who never gets them the ball. The Trent Edwards experiment should be over for Buffalo, he isn't going anywhere in the league. Also, Marshawn Lynch had 125 total yards last week, so there was his breakout game. :)ot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack48 Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Is this guy even good? He was a ST player in Philly when you traded for him. There are guys in the league who were football players when they came in, but have become fake football players, injury list guys, posers (Kerry Rhodes?). I think lito is one of those. A guy looking for a town to lie down in. I prefer Strickland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penguini 15 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Owens is gonna be very upset after this game. He'll be lucky to get 4 catches all game. Revis will bounce back and completely shut him down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irish Jet Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 2004 Pro Bowler. 2006 Pro Bowler. Hurt for parts of 2005 and 2007 and awful when he did play. Was benched because he isn't very good and unlike us the Eagles had better options. Was adequate the first two weeks and managed to hurt himself making the one play that was the difference between adequate and complete disaster. He's barely the best #2 on a team with one real corner. This is just about as harsh a review as someone could dish out over Lito. He was horrible at the end of his Philly career and looked pretty awful in pre-season but he's done absolutely nothing wrong playing for us in the games that matter and has actually made some really nice plays. It's too early judge what he is or isn't yet. For a while in Philly he was one of the top CBs in the league, tough to tell whether or not he can recover that form from what we've seen so far. It's a good test today though, that's for sure. Here's hoping he is 100%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
124 Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Want an honest opinion on who should cover T.O.? Lito Sheppard, that's who. Lito had some pretty excellent games against Owens while he was with Dallas and at this point I think that Lee Evans is still a more dangerous target than Owens. Put Revis on Evans and Sheppard on Owens. Either way we should shut them down but I think for one day Sheppard might do the better job, if he gets Owens.
