New York Jets safety Terrence Brooks took home AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors. Brooks had two interceptions to help the Jets get their first win, 20-6, over the Dolphins. Week 3 Players of the Week Show em some love!
Kudos to him and to the Jets for trading for him. Of course, if his interceptions and subsequent win over Miami wind up costing us the top pick, I'll want him knee-capped. Just kidding. LOL
Guy made as many INTs in 1 game as Calvin Pryor did in 44. BTW, - the Jags placed him on IR, - probably releasing him w/an injury settlement.
That's pretty cool. I didn't even know who he was heading into Sunday but he made an impact and as a fan that's all i hope for is impact performances. Excited to see how he responds against his former jaguars team come Sunday.
Terrence Brooks never played for Jaguars, he was selected by Ravens and then went to eagles, who traded him to Jets. I believe Calvin Pryor was cut by Jaguars.
I kept saying "Who the Hell is this Brooks kid?" the entire game. The kid is a player and the award is much deserved. Although I questioned the need for another safety when we traded McDougle for this kid, it looks like Mac made a great move.
Very encouraging performance both on defense and specials. Also some props to Bowles for creative use of 3 Safeties and 3 CBs in the Dime. Have to admit I thought trading McDougle for Brooks was a head scratcher as McDougle was looking massively improved at slot CB. But so far it's working out. Would be interested in getting McDougle back on the cheap in FA this offseason if they let Skrine go.
With Brooks as a new safety our backfield looks much better. Too bad we can't find an edge rusher who can get sacks or at least pressure QBs. What they did against Cutler and the Fin line is no a true indication of their power. Cutler was terrible, making the W less gratifying.
Red, I belive you read wewantsapp's post too quickly. He didn't say that Terrence Brooks played for the Jaguars. His comment about the Jaguars placing him on IR was in regards to Calvin Pryor, not Terrence Brooks.
yup mac traded away a player who did nothing for us and got a guy who was balling last sunday. he also forced the pressure on 3rd down to bring up the fake pun on 4th where he got his 1st INT. he's tied for the lead league. Also we traded davis for pryor who was cut after a fight, then picked up by jax and put on IR. Davis is our starting ILB. he is 3rd in the NFL in tackles currently and also has half a sack, a pass defended, and at least 4 or 5 TFL i can remember. so can we give mac a little bit of props here? like i said have patience and trust the process
Last Jets player to win defensive player of the week (probably, I'm not going to bother researching): Jaiquawn Jarrett, who had 2 INTs, 1 sack, and a fumble recovery in one of our few wins of 2014, against Pittsburgh... and who also played for the Eagles right before us. Surely Brooks is destined for great things! But seriously, pretty cool nonetheless.
That performance by Jarrett was impressive.. If i remember correctly TJ Graham also had his best game.
