Jets tried to get Tate

[Joker]

The Rats started it though....krist...they took our head coach off a super bowl field and our all pro running back next

 

[Kid~Brady]

Jets have one of the best KR team in NFL. They made Leon Washington a pro bowler and made Brad Smith look like Devon Hester. Tate would have done some damage.

Even Cro's had some good returns for them.

 

[BradyFTW!]

Plax is 34 that is old. How old is TB12?

Quarterbacks don't rely on athleticism like WRs do (especially Brady), not to mention that Brady hasn't spent the past two years in prison.

Well, he did get married in 2009. Pretty much the same thing.

The jets were looking for a foot fetish apprentice....

Alright, we're going to have to hold you out of the week 1 gameday thread for the first quarter of the game.



(like Welker was when he made some foot fetish remarks before one of the Jets games)

 

[Captain Cliche]

And this, my friends, is why you stockpile late round draft picks. If there is someone you really want, you trade a late pick and bypass all the waiver wire mess....especially if you finish with a good record every year like the Pats and have no chance of getting to someone.

 

[TheSolderKing]

Tate has been an awful kick returner. Rex just playing games or was looking for an O'Connell type informant.

Lucky for us Tate was not smart enough to understand the Patriot playbook and therefore his intelligence information would have been a joke.



Hey JETS guess what? You lose we WIN Thnx for Danny Woodhead

in closing it is time to knight you w/ an

 

[JetFan1]

I knew it I figured him and Merryberry were on the JETS radar

well guess what JESTER's???? EPIC FAIL!!!


Ellis says Hi
and
Danny Woodhead is still not good enough to be a JET

The team didn't want Ellis back, and Woodhead is a nice little story, but there is a reason why the Pats went out and drafted two more RB's...

Jets claimed and got Mardy Gilyard, another player with nice upside, like Tate, who got caught up in numbers.

The Jets were never interested in Merriweather, which I suspected, not cerebral enough.

Not sure how Gilyard has much upside over Tate. The dude couldn't even hack it in a Josh McDaniels offense. An offensive system that has success with even scrub WR's.

woody is a Faulk type Back... Our two new RB's are primarily runners and lucky for us they have good hands as well
it'll be fun watching you try to attempt to cover us

edit- the reason we needed new RB's was b/c we had old dudes in those positions. The new youth will certainly be better than that scrub McKnight


we have to give Vereen time, but it will be a pleasure beating you in Gillette. I honestly do not want to sweep you in reg. season. When you face a team 3 times and win the 1st 2 it is very hard to get the 3rd W. Facing someone 3 times is tough enough. All sports fall ictim to the 3 rule. It is very difficult to win all of them

So then what does that say about Tate in an offense with Tom Brady?

Point is, he was highly coveted, and was caught in a numbers game with the number of WR's the Rams had on their roster, some still rave about his upside as a potential #2, and is a solid ST's player, also a KR, much like Tate. Was once billed as a first round talent, point is, either player would have been solid pick ups for the Jets to put as their #5 WR on the roster, and a younger player to develop for Sanchez at the WR position, and who can play ST's.

Heh, Jets had no problem covering Woodhead or Faulk last year.

McKnight has upside, a lot more than Woodhead has, explosive player who is very versatile as a receiver. He has maturity issues, improved by the end of last season, and had a solid pre-season, will be in the rotation at RB, if he grows up, he can be a very good player much in the mold like a Leon Washington.

Yeah, the reason is that we had 3 RB's that rolled around in a wheelchair out there..Fred Taylor (hurt the entire yr), Sammy Morris, and Kevin Faulk (who was hurt all of last yr on IR)

That's the ONLY reason why 2 young sets of fresh legs were added. That and the fact that we had a serious luxury when it came to this draft. Most of the team was returning, and they had an unusually low number of free agents--not to even bring up the plethora of high rd draft picks.

Also the fact that many of the recent 2009/2010 draft additions were youth and speed, and the team had a high percentage of the roster that had less than 3-4 yrs experience. This last draft was a huge luxury...but they would have drafted a RB or two anyway, due to the combined age of the 3 above players listed that totalled 198 yrs old.

Not so sure the Pats have "luxury" draft picks when they keep busting and wind up on the waiver wire...

I personally wasn't a big fan of the draft moves the Pats made this past year especially with the talent that was on the board at DL, LB, and reaching for players on the OL. I thought the Pats could have done a much better job, even moving up for a change in the draft for a blue-chip player they sorely lack.

With the additions of so many 34+ year olds and the releasing of so much of their younger talent, it seems like Belichick is back to his ways of forgoing younger talent for older veterans.

Love Woodhead though, great pick-up for the Pats, just not sure how long his shelf-life is, guys like that don't last long, their little bodies take a pounding in the league, Welker is going through that now, as a Jets fan, I saw it happen with Chrebet.

You're a Jets fan. Until Verne Gholston somehow becomes an NFL All-Pro, Jets fans are morally prohibited from talking smack about any other team's drafting.

Gholston was one of a very few players the Jets have missed on compared to the Pats.

The core of the Jets team is made up through the draft.

Not talking smack, just stating what should be pretty much known around here..

You're not a bad guy jf1, but there's a lot wrong w/ this post buddy..

First off, they aren't "busts" if other teams claim them on the waiver wire. That actually proves the exact opposite. Everyone wants our castoffs, as proven by the 9 players signed that the team got rid of. Is there any other team whose castoffs are so highly sought?

You weren't personally a fan of this yr's moves? In the past 4-5 yrs, 12 out of our first 13 picks were on defense!!! (with the exception of Gronkowski) It was obviously time to address the offense with some high offensive picks.

We absolutely STOLE Mallett, who was projected to MIA at #15 overall in most of the mock drafts. We absolutely STOLE Cannon, who was a first round/early second rd pick in most mocks...You don't like those picks? LOL.

They added Solder at 17 overall, who is paired up with pro-bowler Light, and 2nd team all pro Vollmer to make up 3 incredible tackles! That, in your mind--is reaching???

We also made sure that the plethora of high 1st/2nd picks continues next yr, by replacing all of the usual 1st and 2nd additional picks all over again...it's playing with HOUSE money dude. Even if they fail, Belichick just replaces the high first and seconds anyway...

You have seriously got to be totally kidding me..

Add in Vereen and Ridley (who looked phenomenal) in the pre-season, and you also have 2 current/future RB's.

That, and the fact they got another 6'2" CB in Dowling, who was another 1st rd talent, and where exactly is the problem?

Next yr will be more of the same. Make sure you have 2 firsts, 2 seconds again for 2013, and take a bunch of young talent.

As a matter of fact, every single yr the draftniks rave about how BB is THE best at replacing and replenishing high rd picks.

As great of a point as that is, I am outright shocked that you weren't ALL over this one!!!

He threw you a big fat fastball, right down the middle of the plate Deus!

Jet fans crack me up. You traded for a 6th round pick the Packers were going to cut, and Jet fans are saying the OL is now set for years
McKnight does nothing and he has potential. Every nondescript failed draft pick or UDFA is a star in the making.
I can't wait until your team experiences a few typical injuries and you throw these scrubs in there, then all the Jesters start crying that if they didn't have injuries there 8-8 season would have certainly been a SB. You'll have to ask Rex if you can guarantee in retrospect.
