Braylon Edwards' Arrival: Brad Smith's Big Chance

Braylon Edwards' arrival in New York won't just make Mark Sanchez happy. It will give Brad Smith a chance to contribute in the short term. The starter Edwards will replace, Chansi Stuckey, is heading to Cleveland as part of the trade. It's too bad to lose Stuckey, who would have slid to slot receiver nicely, but this is kind of like giving up Kenyon Coleman and Abe Elam for Mark Sanchez. It's worth it.
Edwards is going to have to learn the playbook, although the adjustment might not be as great as it otherwise might be. He goes from a coordinator who learned under Brian Schottenheimer to Schottenheimer. Still, there is going to be an adjustment. It would be a mild surprise if Edwards was ready to start right off the bat. That means Brad Smith will step into the starting role. Smith has done a great job as a special teamer. He's been solid on gadget plays when he can get into open field. Now he'll have a chance to show the Jets he's ready to contribute at receiver.

I'd give him a few weeks before you see any noticeable production out of him
Its not just the playbook, Sanchez still has to develop chemistry with the guy

He cant be much more of a non factor than Stuckey was
I had high hopes for Stuckey, but he didnt do much.

Am I the only one who cringes when I hear or read Brian ROTTENHEIMER’S name? Love the trade. Anything to help remove those eight man fronts.

Until the line starts doing its job
you could have AP running the ball, with T.O. and Moss as your WRs and you will still have problems.

That's a good point
Still, a good trade though. Brad Smith doesn’t really do much for me, I hope this frees up a chance for Clowney, that’s the better outcome.
