gsnts725 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 TheJetsStream #Jets Dwight Lowery will start at safety in place of Smith. Pool or him will make calls in secondary. #nfl #nyj Sounds good to me. I'm sure Lowery will do pretty well at safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenorGato Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 3+ years in the making...I like Lowery alot and I think he can do things in this D if he's given the chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 definitely. he can't be any worse than Eric "I can't cover for sh*t" Smith. This. He's an instant upgrade without even knowing how he'll produce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visajets Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Lets keep the faith and hope hes the answer. Hes been consistently good on pass on and run this year. He made some big plays early on and then disapeared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Too bad there's not a search feature on this site. I remember a few dozen experts here stating vehemently that there's no way Lowery ever plays safety for the Jets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiFtheOracle Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Why can't it hurt? Because Eric Smith is the worst safety in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pool or him will make calls in secondary. #nfl #nyj Sounds good to me. I'm sure Lowery will do pretty well at safety. I like Lowery and I am one of the guys who has been proposing him at S since the start, but if true, THIS IS BAD. Not that Lowery will start. He's been around longer and is athletically superior to Cook and even if Ihedigo can go, he's pretty one dimensional and that dimension is NOT coverage. OTOH, if Lowery is making the calls WTF is wrong with Pool? The guy has been around since camp and had to make the calls last two weeks. Even in camp they had seperated Pool and Leonhard so that Pool could get used to making the calls and not defer to Leonhard. I know Lowery is suppposed to be a big film and study guy and should be good at it, but this is an indictment of Pool IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt39 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 He's the only guy on our defense that has a nose for the ball. The Jets have a pathetic 7 interceptions on the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 And he starts in front of Lowery. Lowery's not a natural safety and is learning the position this year. Eric Smith is awful.

Harder to get picks playing man. Should be fine for the safeties, but the Jets safeties are not ball hawks - you're right about Lowery helping there. Corners would probably have more picks playing some more zone and facing the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T0mShane Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Big problem, IMO. It seemed like every coverage call went through Leonhard--every adjustment, etc. Losing him was huge, but at least Smith knew the calls. Now, there's no one that likely can manage that responsibility. I won't be surprised if we see at least a few plays where receivers are running wide open the next few weeks because of miscommunication. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bergen Jet Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I, like most of us here, have wanted to see Lowery get a shot at safety since very early in his career. Good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodeawhodat Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Lowery is the guy that got torched by Payton in the playoffs last year, right? He was playing nickel then? Honestly, I dont know wtf is wrong with our secondary, we have 2 very good corners imo, the other guys can get a ton of help if you go man on the outside. Somehow that didnt work so well against the pats.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A weak pass rush and the case here being very weak will exploit any defensive secondary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Lowery has been in the system two years longer, but he's never been asked to make the calls and Pool has. I thought Pool would be fine, but IMO losing Rhodes certainly hasn't been addition by subtraction. Hopefully losing Smith will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
