Smashmouth Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Sanchez does not need another WR. He has 3 starter-worthy WR's and Keller. Signing Braylon Edwards wouldn't improve our special teams anyway unless you know something we don't. If you feel the 3 we have are good enough then yes your making perfect sense. In my case Im a bit worried about a constantly nicked up Cotch and a 34 year old Plax. Hopefully the young guys we just added in the draft will have and impact in both ST and part time on the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RutgersJetFan Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Last season Holmes-Edwards-Cotchery-Smith why not a 4th in Edwards for the right price. Indeed. Those 4 receptions that Smith had last year were totally the difference maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashmouth Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 Indeed. Those 4 receptions that Smith had last year were totally the difference maker. I think everyone is aware Smith is not a good WR but he is a huge threat in certain sets and on ST. I think Shotty used him like an idiot most of the time but every now and then Smith would do something big. He was a big part of the all important field position game on both sides of the ball. Lets not dismiss this was a loss for the Jets maybe not of the magnitude of a Good WR but it is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flgreen Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Truth. I'm starting to wonder if the Jets haven't blackballed the guy. Something's up. Either Braylon's contract demands are way out of line, or the entire league has a terrible opinion of him. I really like Edwards as a player, but in view of what is going on right now I think it's all of the above. It amazes me the way money is being thrown around that somebody hasn't jumped in and grabbed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMC Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Truth. I'm starting to wonder if the Jets haven't blackballed the guy. Something's up. Either Braylon's contract demands are way out of line, or the entire league has a terrible opinion of him. Exactly. Something is up. Braylon has too much talent for there not to be any takers. He hasn't even gone on a visit. Schein is reporting that the Cards are interested because Kerry & Fitz are lobbying, but the Cards need to clear capspace and they want Braylon to take a "pay cut."

JetsFanInDenver Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 One thing is certain. Braylon will a major chip on his shoulder and will end up having a killer season next year. And then all the "experts" on TeeVee will wonder why nobody wanted to pick him. I think its a mistake for the JETS not to try and see if they can sign him even for one year. All we have is Holmes and Cotchery for next year. Plax might not be available throughout the season as an every down player on offense. The probability of that happening is very very low!

I don't even know why this has to be said. We're speaking in the context of how many good WR's Sanchez needs when he's under center. In that context, Smith sucked goat balls. Why it's even being insinuated that a 4-WR set worked for him last year is bizarre considering it's patently false. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically and not at all surprised I dont remember seeing you bash Smith at all last season. Now that hes not here anymore you choose that road in discussion about 4 WRs?

I'm not sure about a major step back, but I don't think that Plax is going to have anywhere near the the impact that Edwards has. With that said I do trust Mike T's judgement. If they really don't want Bray back on this team at any cost, there has to be a reason. One thing I will say is that again, like the Cro thing, they made the best they could out of a bad situation. Plax was an excellent WR. He will surly be very motivated, and give it everything he has. The question is how much does he have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is how much does he have? They lost Woody, BSmith, and BE; gained Plaxico, Powell, and Kerley (?- a lot of hope surrounding a 5th round pick!). I think you have to hope that the OL remains consistent between Hunter and Ducasse picking up at RT, and that Plaxico attracts enough attention and supplies enough production to replace Braylon. He's a different kind of receiver, but should still be able to put up 50-60 catches and 900 yards on the year. Just won't stretch the field the same way. Have to hope, too, that the loss of BSmith proves itself to be addition by subtraction. Loved the guy, but that wildcat sh*t is a crutch. Rather Sanchez be on the field making those 7 yard gains possible. Biggest hope, obviously, is that Mark is just a better QB this year. On paper, though, the offense took some hits.

He's not going to publicly trash a player especially since one of his biggest strengths is that the players love him. You always here how he respects the players and has their back and that would be shattered if he started trashing them to the press. Get over your absurd crush/obsession of braylon and realize that there is obviously a legit serious reason no teams are even looking at him. There is obviously a lot we don't know.

Why it's even being insinuated that a 4-WR set worked for him last year is bizarre considering it's patently false. If we want to take a look at how were treating our franchise QB we have to look no further than the pack of freakin cast offs weve surrounded him with. Then look at teams like I mentioned in other threads and see how they treat their QB's. Look how the Falcons have surrounded Matt Ryan with talent and still had the money to sign a DE to play the other side of ABE. Im not happy with our WR situation and have not been for the past 12 years ....last year was decent but thats about it. Who on earth is talking about 4 WR sets ???? Just because you have 4 WR does not me you run that offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JiFtheOracle Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Maybe one day you will realize this is actully a discussion forum and people enjoy looking at different options and discussing them when it comes to football. Ive debated this sh!t with friends all my life. You smart a$$ remarkes make no sense in the context to which we are discussing. The main reason for this thread WAS NOT to get Braylon back it was to LOOK AT HIS SITUATION and to see if he was smart enough to figure a way out of it. As it stands no one is interested not even the Jets. Sources close to the Jets say hes asking for too much in thier case. SO if no other team wants him hes going to have to find a 1 year deal out there somewhere and prove he can stop his shenannigans and play football. NOW with all that being said will braylon realize this ? maybe not. But if he does his best chance to succeed is asking the Jets for another chance and signing a one year deal on the basis he is familar with the offense and the QB.

I imagine it went like this: Rex: "Braylon was a great player and a great teammate and we wish him well. I'm really pissed anyone would suggest that we thought he was anything less than awesome for us." Cimini: "If Braylon Edwards offered to play here for free, would you accept that offer?" Rex: "F*ck no." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNJet Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Guys part of the reason I want Braylon in here is because of his run blocking abilities. We can still be a short passing posession type football team with 4 good WR's on the roster. When New orleans won the SB they were set up in a similar fashion with a top 3 rushing attack and west coast type passing attack. Whats worng with following that scenario ? Either way i think a 1 year deal makes sense and Braylon may have to be the one to even initiate the idea. Smashmouth, exactly how many times did you masturbate to Braylon while he was on our team?

Nobody agrees with me that fans should chill the **** out, be patient and trust in the front office. I mean that is after all the one persistent message I've tried to send in all these threads where people like you have been bitching about Braylon Edwards not being resigned, and all the holes not being filled immediately after Aso chose the Eagles, and there not being a plan B... Unreal. Keep responding, you sound less intelligent with each post... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
