Potential Jets: Tyvon Branch

sure why not…. anything would be an upgrade over what we have now lol

Yea the jets do still have some cap space but branch is goin to look for a big contract assuming he don’t get franchised he’s one of the better safties in this league

but safety is far from the biggest void we need to make that line better…. Alexander was a alright pick up. Pool needs more time with the ones. Defensively if we get faster in the box then the safteys can breath… id rather have to cover a TE for 3 seconds then five plus. By the time that pass rush was getting there this year TE were already scrambling into space. Safety will be fine. But RG and RT has to be upgraded look at. Eli last night .. he had so much time he literally had time to make mistakes on his on. Sanchez was running for hi life all year.. Everyone wants to trash him for being inconsistant but his line was the issue … If the line is eratic so will your QB. It only magnifiys issues. When sanchez has time he’s genious when we is being rushed he is the scape goat… We also had no running because of it just look at rushing yards and attempts to the left and then right where were most of the yards produced ? If I can see this then so did every def. cordinator on the hemisphere.

Bonerific.

This is exactly the type I’m looking for in a Safety. I’d like big corners to be converted. Yeah their coverage isn’t so hot on little WRs, but they can stick with most TEs and they add a lot of pursuit speed to the defense.

And we should be looking at big Free Safeties (wouldn’t mind bringing Pool back for this role) to play at strong safety. We don’t need thumpers from the safety spot. We need guys that can shrink the field with their speed.

This also adds depth to the secondary. In a pinch, the FS can play corner and the SS can play FS.

Branch at FS and LaRon Landry [6’0, 220 lbs, 27 yrs. old] at SS would be an outstanding, hard-hitting, football-smart, fast [Branch is faster], and young tandem at the Safety position. Prior to his achilles strain [NOT tear], Landry was having a Pro Bowl season. Maybe, just maybe, his injury would keep the $$ low. It is only a strain and there shouldn’t be any problem recovering versus a tear, which is a killer for a Secondary position.

Not sure which one is more pricey; but, getting one of them — my preference is Landry — would be a coup. Getting both would be beyond words…if not $$. The FO may not do something like that, thinking that one of them would be fine and other $$ spent on a RT.

If the FO can get Branch or Landry and get a RT — for depth; Turner’s coming back — they’d be in great shape for the draft.

interest and activly persue are two different things
