villain_the_foe Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 and I'm talking on the magnitude of Nolan Ryan for Jim Fergosi-this is a GREAT player For a 5th....yeah, I can see your point. Holmes is young at that, only 26. He has the talent around him to keep him in one on one situations pretty often and he's pretty explosive.

SoFlaJets Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 We're not talking a "Babe Ruth" type of deal are we? not quite-I'll stick with biggest NFL steal ever. Man from what I've been reading about Holmes at camp so far and what Rex himself ( here; http://www.newyorkjets.com/news/multimedia/video/2211-6-15-10-coach-ryan-press-conference ) said yesterday about him sometimes being the best player ON THE FIELD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthernJet Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 and I'm talking on the magnitude of Nolan Ryan for Jim Fergosi-this is a GREAT player ya but ryan ended up playing approx. 20 years after trade from Mets.. Holmes will be 5 years at most due to NFL mortality rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetsfan80 Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just think, this was our depth chart at WR less than a year ago: 1) Jerricho Cotchery 2) Chansi Stuckey 3) David Clowney 4) Brad Smith Also factor in that we gave up peanuts to upgrade the position with Braylon & Santonio and Tannenbaum deserves kudos for a job well done.

I gotta admit, for Cotchery to have been our #1 and bought in talent to have him become our #3 is pretty awesome because truth be told, Cotch is certainly a legit #2 in this league.

When the Pats went 18-1, their offense was so successful IMO because they had more guys out there that could catch the ball then other teams had that could cover. Name some teams that have the depth at DB to handle Cotchery as a 3rd option and I don't even need to bring up Keller as a 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly it was because one of those guys happens to be the most dominant playmaking WR in league history (arguably).

GMJohnson Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Revis, Mangold, Ferguson, Harris, Cromartie, Holmes, Edwards. My guess is at least 2, probably 3, hopefully 4, of those players wont be resigned. So theres a decent chance Holmes only plays 12 games as a Jet. He's one screwup away from a 1 yr ban so he may be one of the odd men out. Also, doesnt matter who the WRs are, I dont see the Jets moving away from thier core (winning) strategy unless theyre forced to. Run, run, play action, occasional shots down field, protect the ball, rely on the D, wear teams down, force turnovers etc. I HOPE the coaches decide to unleash Sanchez and let him throw it 30-40 times a game to his "great receivers", but I think theyre smarter than that.

What would force them to is having the level of talent to be able to. This is a passing league yes, but the Jets know that to put a game away you must have that ground and pound, or you'll be great like Peyton with just 1 ring. The Jets had their core strategy given that they didnt have the talent at WR. They have that now. They also didnt have a QB that could stretch the field in Penny, They have that now. Im not saying that all of a sudden we're going to be pass happy. What I am saying though is to not be suprised that Sanchez has about 3 or 4 300+ yard games this year.

I still think the strength of the Jets lies in thier defense and thier OL. Your best chance of winning games is to do what you did late last year, run and play defense. Your best chance of losing games is for Mark sanchez to turn the ball over. Just an opinion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not suggesting we are going to have the leagues most prolific offense either. But, I am suggesting that we've put ourselves in a situation where we have more guys who can reliably catch the ball than most teams have guys that can cover. Moss, Welker, Stallworth were great, but they don't look light years ahead of Edwards, Holmes, Cotchery by any means. Then you toss Keller, LT, and McKnight and you're really putting Sanchez in a position to be very successful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jets ran the ball more than anyone in the league last year with a 60/40 run/pass ratio. You definitely will not see that this year. It won't be overly dramatic but I figure they're planning a shift to 55/45, and sticking to that will depend on how well the running game's going. Sanchez has a pretty deep ball, and with two legitimate downfield threats, you'll see them look to exploit that. LT gives them a pass catching threat that they didn't have before out of the backfield, and they're already talking up McKnight as a guy they might be willing to use in the slot. Sanchez averaged 24 att/game last year. You won't see anything like a regular diet of 30-40, but I think you'll see that average come up as many as 3 or 4 per game.

The difference is, you're going to to rely even more heavily on your front 7 to stop us, and often times, need to be in nickel and dime packages. We'll be more dangerous in obvious passing situations w/ the ability to spread the field, and I'd be shocked if we don't take more deep shots. Braylon will still drop balls, but he's going to get a lot of looks, because you can't double w/ cotch and santonio taking the intermediary routes. This season should be fun to watch.

Braylon will still drop balls, but he's going to get a lot of looks, because you can't double w/ cotch and santonio taking the intermediary routes. This season should be fun to watch. I agree. Braylon will drop 6 passes this year, one will be an 84 yard TD pass yes lol, however, this is his first season at OTA's, mini camp etc. Outside of his drops, he'll know the offense MUCH better as well as be here for the entire season. We didnt have that luxury last year. he'll drop 6 or 7 but will catch about 70 incredible catches. Lets just hope that those 6 drops are not 6 TD passes. Its funny, its not really the problem that Braylon drops passes, its just the passes that he does drop. He'll make the most incredible catch you've ever seen and then drop a wide open pass right in the bread basket. At first I thought it may be concentration, but then I thought that in order for that to be he would have to show lack of effort which he never does. I just think that his talent comes with a couple big drops here and there. I think that is cool for a #2. Santonio drops nothing and his YAC is just stupid. This year, especially come week 5 is going to be something of beauty. Lets just hope we can make it to week 5 atleast 3-1. That vikings game is going to be sweet. Favre vs Sanchez, Peterson vs Greene, Shiancoe vs Keller, Berrian, Rice, Harvin Vs Holmes, Edwards, Cotchery. 4-3 vs 3-4. I think i'll be at this game now that I just typed this lol.

Im pretty sure we are talking about this year. Unlike the Phags who sold the farm to sign a twice surgical hip WR, we got Holmes, Edwards and Cro for basically a one year rental. Let's stick to this year and not troll into next year when their may not even be a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoicsentry Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I don't expect our offensive strategy to be all that different from last year's ground & pound. The reason this team is better as an offense for 2011 is not because they ARE changing their offensive approach but because they CAN. They have the tools now to stay competitive if the game gets away from them or if the defense is (as will rarely be the case) struggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
