Current New York Jets 53 Man Roster

Gilbert seemed like the odd man out, and I belive Trufant was signed on the 2nd. Why sign someone to cut them 2 days later. And I didnt even notice Lowry this preseason.Tho I heard Rex was high on rookie Posey so I thought he would stay.

I think we’re going to see essentially 2 waves of our DLs: the run wave and the pas wave.

I see the run wave as being primarily Pouha, Devito and Pitoitua and they’ll be spelled by MTV.

I see the pass wave as being the younger, more athletic crew of Wilkerson, Kenrick and Dixon. The youngins don’t have to be as technically sound if they play mostly on passing downs. They can shoot gaps and take chances and use their athleticism, rather than relying on sound technique and discipline and being in control of the guy in front of them. And with the way Dixon has been playing (seemingly like a player on the verge of becoming big-time) you really don’t want to give away his snaps to Gilbert.

WTF?

But I guess it makes sense considering we got something for him. Maybe he was expendable because we’re planning on bringing in Meriweather and the team feels that other guys are better backups at CB…?

I’m a bit disappointed because I wanted to see what he could do at safety with more experience at the position, but overall it was probably a good move. Depending on what we got for him, of course.

Logan Payne and Isaiah Trufant are likely placeholders. We’ll try and come to terms with some players we like who got cut from other teams, and if that fails Payne/Trufant are the fallback options.

As for Gilbert, he had a pretty weak preseason, and rarely saw action against 2’s, let alone 1’s. We have 7 legit DL players this year, as opposed to 5 1/2 last season (Ellis, DeVito, Pouha, Pryce, Dixon, Gholston). There’s no room for him, and he’s severely outclassed as a player by the likes of Pitoitua, Dixon, and Tevaseu. No surprise whatsoever Gilbert didn’t make it. He’s just not very good.

He got cut from the Eagles. I know we’re currently up to the gills in LBs apparently but I can’t help but feel like he could very well be the answer to our pass rushing woes. He seems the type that would be perfect to stand up—he’s got the ideal size at 6’3", over 260 lbs and he’s a natural pass rusher. He was a 3rd rounder last year and got beat out by a CFL standout for a job, so it’s not like he got cut for sucking or anything like that. The Eagles are actually pretty stacked at DE now… But anyway, I dunno who we need to cut to get him on the team but I want us to make it happen!

He’s a bit of a toxic substance due to his pending sexual assault trial. But the kid is a talent. Might be worth a peek just to see how good he is and if he can fit.

Any chance we bring him in to boost our DL depth? He’s very very solid against the run and definately would help along the line.

how come he’s not listed? Do TE’s not get listed on the roster?

The Jets should pick up Kellen Clemens. He knows the system.

Donnie Avery, Brandon Tate, and Seyji Ajirotutu can all play. I was surprised all of these guys are out there.
