What Role Will Patrick Turner Play?
It's worth discussing the role Patrick Turner will play for the Jets on Sunday. I see two possibilities as the reason for his promotion from practice squad.
Possibility #1: The Jets are going to limit Braylon Edwards' playing time as a punishment for his arrest this week and wanted Turner to add depth.
Possibility #2: The Jets are rewarding him for the insider information he provided and are activating him for that reason. He will be a captain for the game like Kevin O'Connell last year against the Patriots.
I'm thinking the second is probably more likely than the first. If the Jets wanted to punish Braylon, he wouldn't play at all. Limiting his time only hurts the team without sending any sort of message because of how subtle it would be. What do you think?

I think they’re gonna see how the first half goes. If things are smooth, and we’re pounding the rock with authority, then Braylon will stay on the bench.
If we get behind a couple scores, then Braylon is coming in, IMO.
Turner’s main role this weekend, though, will be to add depth and to call heads.
It also helps he's familiar with Sanchez
Can’t hurt, right?
Yeah,
much as I liked his potential coming out of USC, dude is dumb as nails. He probably doesn’t even know enough of the playbook to spill, nor would he even know how to divulge such information.
I think it’s a depth thing. But you guys don’t care what I think :)
Gonna take a fortnight at least to get this herd down to St. Louis on Mississippi. This glen's gonna be tough to traverse, and that river's got to be 50, 60 meters wide. And God knows how many fathoms. To hell with parliamentary procedure. We've got to wrangle up some cattles!

Gamesmanship
It’s not even a depth thing really. He has been called up & is a captain to throw salt in the eyes of Fish. He’’ be back on the practice squad or cut next week. mark my words.

lol
you think he knows the playbook when he couldn’t earn a starting spot amongst possession receivers of a first year rookie, an undrafted FA, and a slow undersized receiver off an acl tear?
This is Ridiculous
JUST PLAY BRAYLON IT HURTS THE TEAM NOT TO PLAY HIM. His punishment is coming we shouldn’t hurt ourselves because he messed up thats insanity. I don’t know how you think like that as a fan. You need to realize sitting him is costing the team money as well as deactivating him would. Why should his actions cost the team money and the fans anguish? Make him play and when his punishment is handed down and if he gets jail time or suspension time cut him then or trade him for a 7th rounder. Lets friggin think logically here people why do you want to torture yourself and cost your team money at the same time? You think he cares honestly about sitting out a series or a half he may say he does but he doesn’t. If we have no offense in the first half because edwards is sitting I will be infuriated because its people that want to see him benched that don’t understand that his actions are costing the team the players the fans the coach and the whole orginization. JUST F’in ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!!
David Martin and Camarillo sure helped the Vikes and Bills didnt they?

Patrick Turner will add nothing to this game
There is a good reason he got cut! He wasn’t good enough or smart enough to be on the team! The Jets only have him on the practice squad, which means they don’t think much of him either. And they shouldn’t. They have much better receivers than Turner.
I thought you activated him to the 53?

If you've got a problem with one of my posts. Take a deep breath, re-read it, and make sure I'm not being sarcastic. Over reaction on your part WILL result in me stoking your fire. You have been warned.
He has to play!!!
Edwards has to play because of the CBA. Benching him is not an option, the teams hands are tied.
