New York Jets Thread

I think I'd be giving that a miss too!!

Give this one a watch, great passion and speaks very very well. Some positivity to offset the injuries and DL worries

phatkev

Dee Milliner is out for another 6-8 weeks(wrist injury) having just returned to camp following achilles rehab. The guy can not stay fit. Antonio Allen is out for the year with an achilles injury

corner back 2

Unbelievable Geno out for 6-10 weeks after being sucker punched by Ik who was released immediately. Not good news no matter how little I trust Geno. Rumours are Jets looking to sign veteran insurance. Please God not Vick again. On a lighter note apparently Geno threw the first punch and was intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Also what if the Eagles release Sanchez or Tebow anyone up for a reunion!

Amerika

Fitzpatrick will get the start. Petty is struggling in camp. This late in the game it makes sense to bring Vick in as a backup to Fitzpatrick. Didn't the Eagles sign Sanchez to a two-year $9 million deal? I've heard good things this year about Tebow and how he's improved.

Rex Grosman lads, get ready for that winning feeling:(

Just no

Looking forward to 2016 season when the Jets go after PSU QB Christian Hackenberg now that they've got most of the rest of their positions in place.

This is absolutely ridiculous, it wouldn't happen (would it?) but can you imagine if this happened in say Atlanta with Matt Ryan or say Drew Brees? This thing is partially about respect or lack there of. I don't want Vick anywhere near this team. Lets give Brady Quinn the absolute veteran minimum with no guarantees until Geno can return.

Only joking not going to debate Tebow again on here. Definitely don't want Vick and not a fan of Grossman. Not many options out there until other teams maybe make a few cuts. Matt Flynn available maybe best of a bad lot.

franglan

Any chance of getting Jon Kitna out of the class room or whatever he's at? Just when you think there might be some signs of optimism (excluding Sheldon being a dope) then this happens.

Quinn hasn't played a snap since 2012 and didn't make any roster in 2014. Wouldn't have him for free.

Any chance the Titans might be willing to deal Zach Mettenberger?

How about Jake Locker?

SHOVELLER

This is a worrying development and gives fuel to the idea that the Jets are a joke. A huge culture problem is evident there. The organisation has to be run professionally from the top down. Hopefully this is a turning point for all.

Mangold, who has to be the longest serving player, said he had seen shoving matches, screaming matches but never a punch thrown before in the locker room.

ESPN reporting that Fitzpatrick is ready to take it to the next level. Jesus I hate that saying.

I have to disagree. So far in preseason (on the pitch) there have been fights in Indy, Carolina, and Texans/Redskins.

This is a case of a guy with a violent past going overboard and throwing a punch.
I think, more than anything, it shows the difference from where we were to where we are now.
There has been no grumblings of unnamed sources in the NY Post, no fighting on the pitch and the back office dealt with this situation perfectly.

EDIT: Forgot all about Richardson...... Like my brain doesn't wanna process so much sh*t

By the time the news broke, Enemkpali had already been released, and on top of that there was a statement given by the player saying sorry.

While the media and supporters will complain in public, the Jets have already named Fitz starter and inquired about bringing in another veteran.

It is the sh*ttiest situation possible. Geno had been playing well, chemistry with Marshall looked great and he this was his chance to shine.

Now we have lost our starting QB, but the one highlight, in my opinion, is how the organisation have handle it

Igotadose

Un. Be. Lievable.


But, "Same Old Jets." Optimism all gone. Hopefully they're not pathetic yet again.

I've been watching this team since my sister's friends took me to see OJ for the Bills play Namath for the Jets at Shea. I think 1968.

The last 30 years.... torment. And the last 5... laughingstocks. And another to come I fear.

I might switch to following Hurling.

hots

Sigh, not good. Looking at the positives (grasping), at least Fitz should be serviceable. At least we seem to have responded in the right way, as anyways bowles came off well in the interview. Maybe this might endear geno to the fans a bit more?

For those wanting a pure qb competition this off season they may have accidentally got it.

franglan

Don't think they'll be a QB competition, Petty isin't ready.

Well Locker is retired so doubt he'll step back in and can't see Titans dealing Mettenberger.

Rex Grossman sounds about right just for cover, I think Fitzpatrick will start week one and then depends on how he does to whether or not Petty gets his chance.

Why are they talking to Grossman? He hasn't played since 2011!! Another name doing the rounds is Jason Campbell, not great but at least he has been playing in some form in recent seasons. There are no good options unfortunately unless the Jets unearth the new Kurt Warner!

Mentioned him because I've read some articles on sites saying the Jets have already contacted him. Tyler Thigpens name was mentioned but for Grossman most articles saying there has been contact.

I don't see him getting snaps but probably just used as cover just in case.

EDIT: Oh sorry I thought you said why was I haha, I don't know why they contacted Grossman, has Bowles worked with him before?

Jason Campbell is retired apparently so I'm guessing he's not an option.

He's listed as a free agent currently. Don't think he officially retired. Although he did decline some offers earlier in the off season.

Sorry I meant Fitz now has to be given 1st string reps so there'll be a decision to be made between him and Geno when Geno's back.

I doubt the Jets will be looking to make a trade. Geno's not out for the whole year or anything, and with injuries like his one I'd expect him to be back closer to 6 than 10 weeks which would see him back mid September. Id expect any veteran signed to be cut again by the bye week

Amerika

I've read the Jets have reached out to Rex Grossman, and Jared Lorenzen has reached out to the Jets (he does have a Super Bowl ring, but I doubt it now fits on his 320 pound frame... but gawd, it would be fun to watch.).

I think Fritzpatrick is a better QB than Smith, but he's a journeyman. Smith has been a disappointment and in many eyes not the future of the Jets. Now might be an opportunity to get a QB for the future in Mettenberger, as I doubt he’ll be happy playing behind Mariota.

Mid-September means week 2 or 3, no?

Rex Ryan's Buffalo Bills claimed linebacker IK Enemkpali off waivers. I foresee two very ugly games this season.

There'll be some interesting blitz packages featuring himself anyway I'd imagine... Classic Rex though.
