How do you FLASH while gaining 35 yards at 1.9 a carry?

And how do you know that they aren't? You don't even know the Jets roster?
Yeah, and? All teams have injuries. So you're saying if the Pats lose an OL like Mankins or Volmer, they aren't in deep ****? Have you been paying attention to the struggles of the Patriot OL this pre-season?
The only reason he has a 'big upside' is because he hasn't done anything so thats what you have to hope for.When he is a rookie, and has a big upside, it is.
Noit even close to the same thing. Meriwhether was not wanted, it wasn't chosing another player over him, it was choosing not to have him any more.So is it just as "not smart" that the Pats kept Ras-Dowling over a player like Meriweather?
Come on. You may not have 6 NFL caliber players on your OL roster. Even you know that is a realistic possibility.
The proof is that these players are being claimed.
Our depth says the guys from 54-60 or so are good enough for other teams to cut a player they kept to have them sight unseen.
Your depth says you were willing to cut a player to get 7 castoffs from other teams (sorry 8) and cut one of your players, sight unseen. If you can't see that, you are just wasting your time pretending to be having an honest discussion.
Who? Ellis chose to leave. Edwards almost couldnt get a job.
Thats exactly the point. If we lose an OL we have depth. You do not.
Ellis would still be your best DL, but he chose to come here
Ihedigo is a special teams player. You should have kept him.
Cotchery and Smith chose to leave, Cotchery in fact pleaded to get out.
Edwards almost couldn't find a job.
The funniest thing is you have lesser players in place of all these guys. Haha the jokes on you.
Last night there was a post on JI that said Rex was going to use Maybin to revolutionize the OLB position. I kid you not.
The only reason he has a 'big upside' is because he hasn't done anything so thats what you have to hope for.
Noit even close to the same thing. Meriwhether was not wanted, it wasn't chosing another player over him, it was choosing not to have him any more.
If Meriwhether goes on to play at the level that Danny Woodhead played at last year, it would be a terrible decision, regardless of it Dowling becomes a HOFer.
By the way, you cut Woodhead, who again was better than any back you kept in order to keep a WR, Chancy Stuckey was it?
The Jets have two very solid RB's in McKnight and the kid they drafted Powell, both have been impressive in camp
Preseason is how you determine who you keep on your roster and who you cut.If you actually read my post, I said we don't know what we have in Powell yet, but flashed plenty. Looking at stats to explicitly define the value or performance of a player in the pre-season is moronic.
Just as it is obvious that Tate is better than some of the players the Pats have now at WR, but obviously, the Pats think the incumbents have a higher upside, same for Meriweather. And you are delusional if you think Tannenbaum makes decision based on what the fan base thinks, that's just silly.
Maybe you missed the Pats going 14-2 with Mankins missing the 1st part of the season and our other starting guard going down as well.
Maybe you missed the fact that our DL had so many injuries that we were down to about 4 semi-healthy linemen by the playoffs. Or that we lost a starting CB before the season even started.
Maybe you missed our top 2 RB's going down and being replaced by BJGE and Woodhead. Perhaps it escaped you that they replaced a HOF WR during the season, on the fly, without missing a beat.
The Pats 1st string OL struggled against the Lions. A lot of teams are going to struggle against SUH, trust me. You again must have missed them carving the Jags and Bucs apart. And we just signed Waters while you instead traded for the immortal... crap I can't even remember his name.
But hey, you guys beat us in the playoffs, you're the better team. Enjoy the biggest win your team has had in the last 40 years.

And you do?
It was arrogant and stupid to ignore that Woodhead was clearly the better player in order to not admit you made a bad pick.What the hell are you talking about? It was arrogant and stupid to keep a rookie they drafted in the 4th round that had a bigger upside and more talent than Woodhead? You didn't even know who Woodhead was until he was on the Pats.
Everything in this paragraph is wrong.Ahh, so it was the concussion... That is Woodhead's problem, he is small, small players don't last, he was the #4 RB with the Jets, he plays his ass off, but the upside wasn't there, that's why they kept McKnight, most GM's would have done this, not sure why you think the Jets shouldn't have.
Tate was cut because he wasnt as good as the players who beat him out. TODAYJust as it is obvious that Tate is better than some of the players the Pats have now at WR, but obviously, the Pats think the incumbents have a higher upside,
And you are living in denial if you think the coach who must get in front of a camera every chance he gets and rail on about how great he thinks he is, and guaranteeing championships isnt living based on opinions of him.same for Meriweather. And you are delusional if you think Tannenbaum makes decision based on what the fan base thinks, that's just silly.
He did his job by releasing Meriwhether. We may never know the details.So now Bill should be lauded for releasing Meriweather? That is a new spin. Obviously, his pro bowls were a farce, and he is not the player some thought he was.
There are 2 things in common with players that make up the Jets depth. You think they have 'upsde' which is code for "They havent shown me they can play in the NFL but they must be here for some reason" and you have excuses for all of them.Vlad is a 2nd year player, very raw and probably is hurt by the long lockout, just because a couple of moron Jet fans over at JI post about him and cry their eyeballs out make them correct, Vlad is extremely strong, and is very athletic, he was also being asked to play 3 different positions in the pre-season, and one of the better OL coaches in the game thinks he has great upside, it wouldn't take balls to release a player after just one year with his upside, and then no off-season due to the lockout, it would be stupid.
Please, oh please, name the Pats WR that Tate is better than. You are officially a moron.
McKnight has higher upside than Woodhead? Why because he's taller and was drafted? And yes, I did know who he was, and I'm pretty sure that Rex and the coaching staff wanted to keep him over McKnight.
Oh, come on! Surely you are not DEFENDING the statement that Maybin was going to revolutionize the LB position by comparing him to Dillon, Moss, Welker, Woodhead, Haynesworth, etc etcThen again, I'm sure there is nothing like that here on the Pats board, "the patriot way," or players being in "patriot shape" as if that is some sort of super duper special condition.
No, I didn't miss anything, the Jets had injuries too. You might remember, we were doomed when Revis went down with a hamstring injury, when Jenkins went down for the season, when we started the year without Holmes, not having Pace the first 5 weeks of the season. All teams have injuries.
So now we're breaking out the personal insults?
So Slater is better than Tate?
If Rex wanted Woodhead over McKnight, then he'd still be on the team, not sure where you're going with this.
Woodhead was a nice break for the Pats, stop trying to spin it as it being something bigger than it is, the Jets weren't wrong for keeping McKnight over Woodhead at the time.

No.And Pats fans don't have this for the rookies this year?
Of course he was. How can you even argue that?So Woodhead was better than Green and LT? Ummm.... ok....
So most teams would make the wrong decision is your argiument?It made complete sense to release Woodhead instead of McKnight, most teams would.
Point is the same, it was Clowney, so you know you have been lying all along that they kept McKnight over Woodhead.Chancey Stuckey wasn't on the team last year...
