Falcon63 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 I just realized that we didn't even have Kris Jenkins or Jim Leonhard. I know Jenkins tore his ACL, but you always come back stronger, and he has proven that he can still play with his bum knees. As for Leonhard, when a broken leg heals, it's healed. It's not a muscle or ligament, it's a bone. They are two of our best defensive players, and when we get them back, we'll be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HessStation Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Leonhard's a nice story. It's nice when you have nice stories to root for on the team. If Jenkins could have just stayed healthy he would be going to the HOF, mentioned in the same breath as Reggie White and the other greats, and still playing for the Panthers...imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyHector Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 We desperately need to re-sign Braylon. His crackbacks will catapult us the the Lombardi next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GangisGreen Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Jenkins will not be back. And as stated above he will not last the season. I actually would release him. And as far as leonhard he will be back but he is no savior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
visajets Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Jenkins needs to ride that golf cart into the sunset. You cant pay guys like him that kind of money with nothing in return. No way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falcon63 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 I think we should keep Jenkins ONLY IF he restructures. If he does, we NEED to keep him. Yes, it is a huge risk, but the reward is also huge. If he pans out and last the entire season, our run defense will have a HUGE boost. A lot of people, including myself, end up tearing the ACL in the leg where they haven't yet because they try and put all the pressure on the good knee. With two bum knees, you're back to even pressure on both knees, not putting too much pressure on one or the other. Plus, you ALWAYS come back stronger after a torn ACL, unless you're a lazy a$$ b^tch, which Jenkins is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmikeisback Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 you're acting like the Jets didn't have the 1st and 3rd best running D in the NFL the last 2 years without Jenkins even playing most of the games... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falcon63 Posted January 24, 2011 Author Share Posted January 24, 2011 Not how I remember it. He hasn't played whole seasons, but when he did play, before he got hurt again, he was playing well in those few games.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt39 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The hell with Jenkins. He's useless. vet minimum...incentive contract....worth a shot. But you cant really expect anything.

I like Matt's vet minimum idea, but I can't help by just want to be done with him. It pisses me off. If he was only healthy he would have wrecked havok on the Steelers back-up Center. The Jets desperately need to get better and younger in the Front 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vudu Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 We need to resign our players on offense and Draft solely defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jets1Fan Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 IMHO we restructure Kris Jenkins' contract, and use him to aide in bringing in his brother Cullen Jenkins DE on GB who will be a FA. Think we really just need to focus on depth through the draft and filling in our secondary with more ball-hawk type players. Really unsure if we re-sign Cro or go after Nnamdi....we'll just have to wait and see...this ******* sucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoFlaJets Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 D-Wood, Jenkins T-Rich, and Jason should all retire-I'd also kind of like to see someone other than LT at RB who really didn't do too much IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroadwayJoe12 Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 I would like big jenks back if he takes the vet min and is used in a situational role, sort of what Taylor was supposed to do this year. His body simply cannot withstand a full NFL season, but he would be invaluable in the postseason. There's zero doubt in my mind that if he were playing either at Indy last year or Pitt this year that we wouldn't have made it to one of the SBs, he's just that freakishly talented. But that's the fact of the matter; if he could have stayed healthy, he'd still most likely be with Carolina and being talked about as one of the best defensive lineman of all time.
