Powell has definitely looked good this offseason, much better than Ivory in the limited carries we've seen him with. I'm just hoping he's shaking off the rust.
Coples - Unfortunately our DE/DT (cough OLB) is our best pass rusher and injured. We need his presence immensely. If he can generate the stats from last yr, i expect thrice as much more from him "full time" and as a "starter".
Hopefully Quinton Coples comes back healthy as ever. I'm looking forward to seeing his year 2 improvement.
Richardson for sure. I think he has a chance to make a huge impact in Rex's defense. The defensive line in general could be something special this year.
I'm looking forward to seeing a couple of players for different reasons. Richardson, because he looks like a total monster, Ellis, in hopes that he pulls it together this year and turns the line into a killer unit.
i want to see all of hte younger guys, i want to see what they are and i want the front office to see what they are and can do so the team can make good decisions in the future. the guys who wont be here next year or the year after i really couldnt care less about at this point. i want to see if coples can become a real player, i want to see if milliner can make tackles and cover, i want to see if we have anything in jarrett i even want to see if demario davis can screw his fucking head on or if we need to find another lb this offseason. this team really really really needs a number of young guys to step up and become consistent starters who can be counted on. i dont view any of them as coming superstars but the base needs to be built now. and these young guys are what it will be built out of.
I'm slowly conditioning myself to let go of any expectations W-L wise. This is a transition year anyway you slice it. That said I truly believe the Jets have a lot of young athletic talent.Most they've had in a long time(Even more than 09/10) Now these guys are inexperienced so mistakes will be made..likely mistakes that cost this team games.. That said..we will be fast,physical & at times dynamic. Ivory,Hill,Goodson,Gates,Kerley & Cumberland on O. Richardson,Coples,Wilkerson, Davis,Cro, & Dee on D. It will be exciting win or lose.
Anyone with less than 3 years experience. Those guys will be the foundation of the team moving forward. I want to be pleasantly surprised by some emerging talent to give me hope for the future.
