derp Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Wonder why he left Basped out...not that he's a superstar but he's still on the roster according tot he website and is a definite sleeper to make the team or at least should get a PS invite.

Blurredorunfocused Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Isn`t Laury the special teams ace that I`ve heard positive things about? no way he goes, but if Scott or Harris went down I`d be quite worried over who comes in. Hopefully Westerman can develop into something this year, or maybe even Gholston could play inside? he might like being surrounded by players rather than exposed, by keeping himself in a nice safe circle of Jets he could minimize the risk of hurting himself.

Bx Jet Fan Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 No, we try Gholston at ILB next year after he busts at DE. Then he switches to safety in 2012. He busts there too. But its OK because he will be redeemed at CB just as we lose Revis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurredorunfocused Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 We should try him at TE, as long as he could catch the ball and not be scared of it, he could then use his world class and legendary ability to avoid contact and ghost into the endzone untouched each time, which is a bit of a crap pun, the person who washes his kit must be well happy at the end of each game, probably spends a lot on Febreeze though.

Reamer is the UDFA most likely to make the roster, JMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSJets Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The reason Cimini missed that info is because the only thing he's been following on the team are the contract issues that he talks about 17 times a day. Anything else going on with the team he's completely clueless about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce Banner Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Lance Laury didn't look good enough on special teams to keep for just that. I say dump him and give his spot to a young guy. Roll the dice on someone new. I know 3-4 linebackers need to be bigger but I wish they had just one small fast LBer who can cover because sooner or later you need that. Bart Scott was supposed to be an ace in coverage, I don't think he lived up to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id agree except that Basped is enough of a physical talent to where he may not clear the initial set of waivers if he looks respectable in camp. I think those type of players make the squad for a few days, maybe even the full week, and then get waived. Teams dont seem as active during the season in claiming waived players as they do during the 1st week of September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OLB is deeper than ILB, it's just a tough position to make on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 He impressed Rex during the rookie camp. If he continues to play at a high level that will count for something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 The reason Cimini missed that info is because the only thing he's been following on the team are the contract issues that he talks about 17 times a day. Anything else going on with the team he's completely clueless about. Yet he had Satele on there. Strange considering Basped was an initial signing while Satele went to the Raiders and was signed off a try-out in May. He probably remembers Satele because of the articles about Samoans and his cousin. Lance Laury didn't look good enough on special teams to keep for just that. I say dump him and give his spot to a young guy. Roll the dice on someone new. I know 3-4 linebackers need to be bigger but I wish they had just one small fast LBer who can cover because sooner or later you need that. Bart Scott was supposed to be an ace in coverage, I don't think he lived up to that. Why do you say Laury didn't look good enough on ST? I haven't seen anything on him yet. Do you mean with the Seahawks? I think the team uses Ihedigbo in the role you are looking for in a LB and I think I'd rather have Ihedigbo than Reamer.

I think those type of players make the squad for a few days, maybe even the full week, and then get waived. Teams dont seem as active during the season in claiming waived players as they do during the 1st week of September. I agree with this. If he looks good he'll probably stick. This is the kind of guy I will regret losing if the team carries 4 or 5 QBs. he is a talent... and he could make it... but he also has an injury history... OLB is deeper than ILB, it's just a tough position to make on this team. He lists Westerman at OLB, but I think he spent most of last season at ILB. I'm pretty sure that Westerman played both, but he should get a nod at ILB too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#27TheDominator Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 This is Laury's second year on the team. Nope. You'll have to give the guy a chance. He was the Seahawks ST ace in 2009 and signed with the Jets in March (I just checked). I assume you are talking about Ryan Fowler who the Jets signed from the Titans and used after Izzo went down.

OLB is deeper than ILB, it's just a tough position to make on this team. Yeah it's definitely tough to make the team at OLB, I just think he's got more long-term upside than most of the other UDFA's and a better shot to make the team/practice squad than a bunch of the bubble guys Cimini listed anyway at other positions. Could make his mark with some good ST play since there are so many vets on this team they'll need younger guys to play some special teams. Think they'll keep him around on the PS at least though.
