Simon Says: The Changes To The Jets Offensive Player Personnel Will Be...

Moore is the only guard in the NFL to not allow his QB to get hit… through the entire season. Slauson is good as well. Hunter is the weak link,

GD penalty machine at TE and a freaking matador for a RT about ruined MS this year. How does a QB gain confidence when he gets smashed into the turf so much?

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if we hear about Sanchez getting surgery or at the very least physical therapy on his throwing shoulder some time soon….

you can’t lump the entire OL together, Hunter is horrible, deplorable, lets just say he sucks plain and simple. The Jets need to sign a FA RT like Demetrius Bell. Then draft imo Adcock from OSU, that would push Vlad inside to guard permanently, where he could excel in run blocking and be helped a little in pass pro by Mangold and hopefully Bell. The other problem is Mulligan he needs to go now, today actually yesterday at halftime.I’d like to see the Jets sign Zach Potter from Jac. 6’7" 280lbs. thats like an extra OT and he can catch a little. Their are few TE’s in the draft that could help out with this I really like Adrien Robinson from Cincy and Ellison from USC.

1. The Jets have a young back up who can play QB. His name is Greg McElroy. If you don’t know him. He won the national championship for Alabama. He lost maybe 3 games his college career. He averaged 70% completion rate the last 2 seasons he played. He doesn’t have a strong arm, and is the opposite of Sanchez. A weaker armed high accuracy QB. Do not sleep on him. Tom Brady was a 6th round pick and look how he turned out.

2. Shon Greene posted 1,050 yards and a 4.2 average in a “down” year. The Jets had a schizo offensive line and running game, but he played his butt off every time he played. Joe McKnight didn’t even carry the ball 50 times. You can get a feature back at any point in free agency or the draft. Look at Lagerette Blount, Arien Foster, the Bills Fred Jackson. Late rounds and free agency are fine. I like Monty Ball in the 2nd round, but I wouldn’t be mad if they didn’t get him. Running back is the least of the Jets problems.

3. There is a 2nd tight end. His name is Jeff Cumberland. Cumberland was hurt this year, but he is a beast. He played with the 1st team all through the preseason and was out receiving Dustin Keller in receptions and touchdowns. He just got hurt with a torn ACL. Once he’s back the Jets will be fine offensively. In fact, a lot of the problems they had this year are because he is not in. They were going to be a 2 tight end base offense, with 2 receiving tight ends. He would have been the 3rd or 4th receiving target all year had he not gotten hurt. If you want the measurables, he’s 6’4 and 250, and he ran a 4.4 coming out of college.

Plaxico should go. He’s 35 or so, he’s slow, and he’s just tall. Sanchez showed that Patrick Turner can be the same red zone threat Burress is, and cheaper, faster, and younger. If the Jets are just keeping him around for size, Turner is 6’5 as well.

The offensive line definately needs a boost. Maybe not 3 guys, because Slauson is a blue collar guy, and plays consistent. The right tackle has been addressed all year, and the first thing they do in free agency will be to handle that.

i don’t think we need a young QB to push sanchez . i think someone like Campbell or Garrard ( who have plenty of games in the NFL ) would be a better option . we need a QB who has something to prove , to push sanchez for the starting job .
my choice of RB would be either Forte ( if we want to spend big ) or K Smith from Det

i think we have a new TE already on this team called Cumberland that can make a big difference next year and Vlad has done a good job blocking when he came in

Matt Slauson has been very good all year and to see his name above instead of D’brick is a little bit head scratching for me . he has been the biggest + on the line this year

or the next most important position that covers up for a teams weaknesses is a premier pass rusher. Im hearing alot of names but who you guys think is the best guy coming out the draft?

I think you’re right about the safety thing as well.
I believe though that we can be so deadly as a team with a dominant pass rusher and not having to blitz so much and put new DBs in this system out on an island …. I hate to use this team as an example but take a look at the Giants who drafted J.PP.
They had a need at linebacker and other positions but their philosophy is you cant never have enough pass rushers ,after all, what other position can take over a game all by themselves besides a QB?
