4HCrew Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 If he is an unknown to the Jets and needs reps why not let him get them there? I liked what I saw in the Arizona game so why not give him some opportunities to develop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I'm not a big fan of NFLE. If you plan on using these guys for the upcoming season, most of these guys can't make it through a 16 game schedule. See Swyane. I would have loved to have seen what Tim McGill had to offer at nose tackle. He is a former Arena League player, who was on the Jets practice squad most of last year. He is an athletic 6-foot-1, 330-pound guy, but he'll be burnt out in my opinion to give us 100% for the 2005 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone to play a season there and then go right to training camp back here is brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R44 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Specifically regarding Ricky Ray, because that's come up too, the CFL has a "thing" about seeing their former stars in NFLe. When they let their former stars jump early to the NFL, they are strictly forbidden from playing in NFLe (by rule). Since Ray spent 2004 in the NFL, he could go to NFLe by rule. Nontheless, I'm sure Bradyway sagely doesn't want to "step on toes", considering the Jets relationship with the CFL is solid. Praise for Terry. Blame Dennis Green for this mess. The Vikings signed a couple CFL stars a few seasons back, then he went to "blabbing" to the local media that the players (mostly regarding Winnepeg folk hero/ LB Ryland Ryckman) basically meant nothing to the Vikings and were merely filling NFLe requirments--what a freakin idiot CFL teams took offense, as they should, and basically said no more NFLe for our players. The Bucs recently voided the contract of a CFL when they found he couldn't play in NFLe ( S Kyries Herbert). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 NFL Europe is not far enough away for Brooksie. Talk to me when they start NFL Antarctica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSJ Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 IMO, the Jets should look at a youngster in the draft if this kid isn't ready by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomShane Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 NFL Europe is not far enough away for Brooksie. Talk to me when they start NFL Antarctica. I guarantee the Jets spend a first-day pick on a QB. Brooks is toast. He is NOT Dinger's type of QB. He was Hackett's pet project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomShane Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Frye is a Dinger guy, but I doubt he gets past Round 2. I'm think round 3, the David Greene type guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R44 Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 Thanks _j_r, I'm glad I could add something tangible. Basically, the CFL was close to folding a while back, until the NFL handed them a huge loan...Out of "gratitude", they allowed the NFL to poach their best players a little early. Dennis Green and the Vikings started just signing CFL players left and right and sending them to Europe, then went as far as telling the media they were "extreme NFL shots", who we don't even need. CFL saw this as a breach of their agreement and they put up a big fuss. They don't want to be seen as a "minor league" for NFLe. Bradway, as I stated, could've sent Ray--because he spent 2004 in the NFL. But he did the right thing by not sending Ray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
