Geno is a weapon? Decker scares people?
Revis will need to lose his shoe like tonight in order to lose that battle...
Geno may be flashing moments of competence if you watch camp hard enough.
Decker should scare people. That's why it's a (#*$&%ing shame he's on the JEST. The trouble with a receiver is that it's in the job description -- hell the job
title -- that he
receives passes.
Nobody on the JEST can
throw a pass. And the rest of the receivers would be JAGs, except that JAG stands for "just another guy" and we usually use it for people whose names are at least recognizable (you know, the ones that can deliver you 4 TDs a year, that sort of thing).
Ladies and gentlemen, at this moment,
your New York JEST receiving corps:
87
Decker, Eric ..... WR 6-3 214 27 5 Minnesota
82
Enunwa, Quincy . WR 6-2 225 22 R Nebraska
10
Gates, Clyde ..... WR 6-0 197 28 4 Abilene Christian
15
Hakim, Saalim .. WR 5-11 188 24 2 Palomar Coll. CA (J.C.)
84
Hill, Stephen ..... WR 6-4 215 23 3 Georgia Tech
11
Kerley, Jeremy .. WR 5-9 188 25 4 TCU
86
Nelson, David .... WR 6-5 215 27 5 Florida
17
Salas, Greg ...... WR 6-2 210 25 4 Hawaii
16
Saunders, Jalen .. WR 5-9 164 21 R Oklahoma
Now I'm going to go ahead and say that Brady would make this a 25 aerial TD group, because, Tom Brady. But that's the only reason. Somebody will emerge to have some semblance of a season while everybody doubles and triples Decker, because, damn.
If any of you have deep knowledge of this group, please correct my impression, but at this writing it is this: As a group, they could not catch the clap in a Bangkok whorehouse. Throw in Zach Sudfeld, and you've got bupkis - which is a notch up from where you started. Throw in Mike Vick, which will eventually happen, and you've got a glimmer of a shot punctuated by injuries.
Not to pile on or anything, but have ya noticed that only the occasional meth-head is talking about how dangerous a Rex Ryan defense is since Revis left? The only reason a "Rex Ryan defense" was ever even a
thing was because of one very talented cornerback. Leave it to Rex to know pretty feet when he sees them, but that was
it.
Now remaining diehard off-season-superbowl types are trying to get all hopped up when the moveable object that is their defense stops the resistible force that is their offense, or vice-versa, in training camp.
Sadly, even their own deluded fan-base is not buying it anymore. Hell, Fireman Ed can't take it anymore. A man who runs into
fires for a living cannot face another JEST game. That should tell them something, right?
Oh but Chris Johnson... I forgot. I am very, very afraid, in 2009.
To paraphrase the DI in Full Metal Jacket, this is the kind of team that would ahem unexpectedly approach their fanbase from behind and not even have the common decency to um reach around them for some reason like to get a beer. Trying to be PG here.
Oh yeah one more Rex note: after congratulating the team on managing to put their jocks on
under their pants, or whatever the hell glimmer of hope he's been seeing in their performances, at least he had the presence of mind not to say "Now let's go get a ******* snack." So, props for that.
It looks like your long, long reign as the distant second in the AFCE is over, NY. Others are lining up to play the Washington Generals to the Patriots' Globetrotters. The juggernaut that is EJ Manuel threw 11 TDs last year to 9 INTs... that's going to be some next-level stuff compared to GeNO. And once again, Vick's only good until the first hit, whether from a pipe or a linebacker. And don't forget Ryan "I'm still here" Tannehill's 24 TDs to 17 INTs and 81.7 rating. That will be a JEST fan's wet dream this season.
How I can still conjure this level of bile for a team that has not been relevant for the life of most of their fans is beyond me. There must truly be some magic to that franchise.
