One thing I won't blame Gase for is refusing to throw James Morgan into the fire. Not only was he a rookie without an offseason but if given a chance to play it would've (immediately) destroyed his future trade value. He would've gotten slaughtered and looked atrocious due to playing alongside of no RBs, lackluster receivers and more importantly he would've been attempting to Quarterback behind nightmare offensive lineman (not named Becton). He would've looked really bad behind a 2-14 team. I'm glad he didn't play. And I personally believe that it was Joe Douglas as the person who made sure Adam Gase kept his 4th round QB stashed away and under no circumstances was he allowed to ruin James Morgan (enter, Joe Flacco). Year two is different. He's now getting plenty of Training Camp reps and alongside of an improved offensive line and WR core. And now he'll have his chance to showoff in preseason.
You might be right, but I still believe it was Gase's inability to develop players that was the biggest reason. Still, I'm glad he's getting reps now, and am looking forward to seeing if my assessment of him was accurate.
Good news on Cameron Clark -- appears to be OK. Had a stinger. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id...s-og-cameron-clark-taken-hospital-neck-injury
when he was on the field yes. but he was a massive injury risk before he signed his extension and always got hurt after. He wasn't reliable to be out there due to injury issues. Can't help the team when you aren't on the field. We should have extended robby over enunwa at the time which I said as much when we did it. Robby was better and never really missed games. Huge mistake by mac.
The original reports were weird. What they said sounded terrible but no one was really making a big deal out of it so I was confused. Now it makes more sense. Wish they would have been clearer about it. But either way, the important part is he’s ok. Great news. Always the neck injury specter hanging around the nfl.
Well at this point if Joe Douglas, or any other team/GM for that matter, wants Nick Foles then they might as well wait until he gets cut and not trade anything because after that little stunt there's no way he makes the Bears roster
A lot of praise for Bryce Huff going around. We may have something really good in the making on defense
Connor Hughes on YouTube right now discussing the Jets. Remarkable that he is stating that there is a very good chance the Jets have a top 10 offensive line and a top 10 defensive line in just 2 years under Douglas with still a shit ton of picks coming
Great point. Is it me, or some people tend to underestimate some of the later round and undrafted free agent jewels JD has hit on. Huff being one of them. I seem to recall with sadness years back when most all our later round and undrafted free agents were camp fodder, hardly ever improving the depth chart.
I don't know that that is true. I seriously believe that we have some posters who would rather be "right" and see a Jets draft pick fail, than see him succeed and they have to admit that they were wrong. We have some posters that are that petty.
Agree. He was saying if AVT and Becton play at the level everyone believes they can play at and McGovern plays well and Morgan Moses plays at the same level as last season, they are a top 10 line, easily. Especially given that we have Fant also returning shortly.
That's probably what he was counting on. He didn't have to trash the Bears or demand a trade. He could just talk positively about Frank Reich and the Colts. I heard that interview and was astounded. If a player could be accused of tampering, they'd nail his ass he was so blatant.
Big time. Huff is turning heads. Michael Carter the CB is turning heads. And Hamsah Nasirildeen is likely earning a key role on the roster. All later round picks
