Jerricho Cotchery: Your New Slot Receiver

take that to the bank.

I completly agree. This is something I don’t think many are realizing at the moment bc the pick-up of Santonio was such a shock. This might prove to be the best Pick-up of the offseason. It takes away the need to pick up a WR that many pundits were for-seeing for a long time. It further spreads the field for Mark in hopes that his reads become easier. But most of all. It moves the teams best POSSESSION WR to the inside of the field where he can be most effective. Couple all this with the now available dump-off and flats passing options that Sanchez will now have with LT that he never had with TJ and Im inclined to think that this passing offense is very much complete barring a sophmore slump by Sanchez.

But I read an interesting take somewhere (Jetsblog?) that actually all three guys could be pretty effective there and we could actually interchange them to take advantage of match-ups. Actually 4 guys if you add Keller.

It got me thinking that using Bray from there some would cause a hell of a problem for defenses. He blocks well enough that he can gobble up just about any d-back and he could probably crack down and seal on a backer. But it would force teams to keep there safties back and probably would force an LB offthe field in favor of a DB. But if they still with an LB to try and combat our running game, Bray could kill them with short passes in early downs. Its like stealing an automatic 5 yards on first down every time.

50/50 is sufficient

and staying healthy, of course.

Speaking of which, I have a feeling we’re going to have a bad string of luck regarding injuries… we’ve been seriously way too fortunate lately in that regard. Of course, maybe losing Leon and Jenkins last year used up some of that “karma”, but I’m thinking this year is the year of OL injuries. :(

Another thing is Tony Richardsons playing time is going to be seriously cut. Could keep him fresh

Yeah well I don’t remember clowney even getting thrown too you have a QB that has major tunnel vision that looks at his first option and thats it. couple times I saw Clowney or Keller open and he didn’t go to them just looked at Edwards with 2 guys on him.

I still think we should take a WR in the draft. You can never have enough good targets for a young QB. You take a guy like Golden Tate because you have both BR and SH on 1 year contracts and, even if you keep one or both of these guys, Tate will be this years Percy Harvin and can step in next year for either of the guys we potentially lose. Or take a Shipley, a Decker or a Price in the later rounds, again, for insurance. Of course, if you have an absolute love of a defensive player in the 1st round, then you must do it, but I would still take another WR in the top of the draft.

I don’t know if I would call the Jets the most balanced team in the NFL but goodness we do look damn good and we haven’t even gotten to the draft yet. GO JETS.

Thats it right there. Odrick and Gerhart. Besides some depth at O-line. What else is there????

Tate runs back kicks and punts and he can be used the same way that we used Brad Smith last year plus he’ll be a great WR in the near future. Also, we will not have SH for the first month of the season, so we can get him some touches there as well. And again, as I said earlier, he’s an insurance policy of sorts. Tate will be here if, or when, we lose either BE or SH or both.

By the way, I don’t like Gerhart at all. I know his #‘s are gaudy and he has very good size and speed but from watching him play live, there is just something about him I don’t trust/like. I can’t put my finger on it. Maybe it’s that he does not seek out defenders to punish when finishing runs, which reminds me of Franco Harris, who I thought was soft compared to his contemporary counterparts. He also never seems to fall forward after solid contact. Both these things really bother me about a guy with his size. Anyway, I do like Odrick but I think we can get just as useful a DL with our 2nd round pick. And I have a feeling M Douglas will be back, they haven’t exactly been beating his door down with offers. Just my .02, for what it’s worth.
