JiFtheOracle Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 because he shows the exact same tendencies as Gholston.... I dont understand this move at all. I'm not expecting anything from this move, but with your GM expertise...how does it hurt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTM Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 If he had stayed in school, this would have been Maybin's rookie season. Still early to give up on the guy. kinda agree with this, and interested to see how rex uses him.. I'm not too familiar with him though, Gholston didn't look like a football player from day 1.. is this kid like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECURB Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 This is a reaction to Westerman stinking it up against the Texans... if nothing else to show him it is now or never they will not wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

serphnx Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 How often does a complete bust suddenly "get it?" It never happens...this is a waste. Well, you need to have some perspective though here. How often do really bad teams let go of "busts" only to see them get better on a good team? I mean it is the Bills. There's a chance that he doesn't suck as much as the Bills made him look?

SoFlaJets Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Maybe we get real lucky and Rex can make him a player One thing we've learned about Rex is he likes taking on these "project' players with the hope that he can do something with them. It's a fine trait to have and one which I believe enamours him with ALL NFL players. He tried it with Gholston, remember he named him the starter as soon as he heard that Pace would be suspended the first 4 games, and then he tried it this summer by talking up Jamaal Westermann by saying he was going to be the designated pass rusher but after seeing him not even make an impact even against the 3rd team Texans maybe he's about to give up on that lost cause and needs Maybin for his new plaything/project.

StraightCash Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 228lbs... Can he play safety? In all seriousness, I hope the jets staff can diagnose some kind of metabolism disorder, get him to a legitimate weight, and see what he can do.

visajets Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 link? http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2011/08/aaron_maybin_expected_to_sign.html Aaron Maybin expected to sign today with Jets Published: Wednesday, August 17, 2011, 10:10 AM Updated: Wednesday, August 17, 2011, 10:30 AM By Jenny Vrentas/The Star-Ledger The Star-Ledger Follow 10 Share close Google Buzz Digg Stumble Upon Fark Reddit Share Email Print Robert Sciarrino/The Star-LedgerRex Ryan's club will give Aaron Maybin a chance to revive his career. Former No. 11 overall pick Aaron Maybin has reached an agreement in principle with the Jets and is expected to sign today, so long as he passes his physical, a person with direct knowledge of the agreement confirmed. That person requested anonymity because the team has not yet announced the move. ESPN New York first reported that Maybin is headed to the Jets. The third-year player out of Penn State was cut by Buffalo earlier this week. The Jets were one of a handful of teams who expressed interest in him, and he was expected to make a decision by today. Maybin was viewed as a pass-rush specialist but had not yet recorded a sack in his professional career. He now will have a chance to revive his career in coach Rex Ryan's defensive scheme.

Bergen Jet Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Finally we have somebody to fill the Vernon Gholston role. In all honesty it is worth a look. Very low risk and while there will most likely be no reward you never know what a change of scenery, being part of a legit D, and having a legit D minded head coach can do to a youngster like this.

Klecko73isGod Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I would be willing to bet the minimum . The jets know defensive players love to play for Rex but I dont know about this guy...Shouldnt we be saving cash for back up O-Lineman that come available ? This signing was to get the heat off of Vlad. There is someone more worthy of our scorn on the roster now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barcs Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 It absolutely can't hurt to give him a shot. If he fails and sucks, we cut him. If not, he might actually help us this year or at least be a decent backup. I guess we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
