    Maybe since there is no other choice, Mike will give an opportunity to the guy who managed the biggest play the team had all year in just 1 target on 3 snaps? Nahhh, perhaps there is someone on practice squad we can activate, who knows the special team routes.

    If Mims isn't active and starting this weekend, I may grab my Louisville Slugger, drive up to NJ, and pay Mike LaFleur a visit! I hope that Mims goes off for 2-3 TDs and 150 yards and makes LaFleur look like the moron he is.

    Boy... Saleh's getting a big portion heaped on his plate right off the bat isn't he?

    Is it even theoretically possible for something to actually go right for the Jets? Get some kind of break to make things easier?

    why would he start? I don't even think he'll be active. saleh said crowder is trending towards playing. If crowder is playing he'll take smiths spot and start along with moore and davis.

    Is Moore playing? I thought he was in the concussion protocol. Also, with the way Davis has been dropping passes and not contributing squat, I think his ass ought to be benched and Mims given the start.

    No kidding. I remember Saleh has spoken several times about how his team would handle adversity when it strikes. He elaborates on this in a Sports Illustrated story from this past July.

    JUL 19, 2021
    MMQB: Robert Saleh Is Looking Forward to Seeing the Jets Battle Adversity

    ... "But I’m genuinely excited for adversity. Because a lot of different things are going to pop up. There are coaches that are going to find out about themselves. There’s the scouts and the GM, there’s myself, the players, the training staff. Everybody’s going to find out a little more about themselves when adversity hits.
    “I think that’s when teams have their greatest amount of growth—it’s through adversity. And so with training camp, , that’s what I’m most excited for. I wanna see how people respond.”

    Be careful what you wish for Coach. We want to see how you respond too.

    he’s in concussion protocol and it’s looking unlikely at this point. Crowder maybe back though. And Jeff is out so expect Mims to play.

    If Crowder plays that still puts Mimms at number 5 on the receiver depth chart behind Davis, Berrios, Cole and Crowder. The math said inactive.

    I think it's billboard time. A few years ago some determined Jets fans raised money, rented a billboard relaying a message to ownership that it was time for then GM John Idzik to start packing. I think a "Free Mims" message would be appropriate if the this Jets wide receiver is a healthy scratch against the Titans.

    The Jets are 33-66 since John Idzik was fired.

    Not saying he wasn't the problem but the problems have continued since then.

    I'm not in on the billboard plan at this point. It'd need to be a "10 years of lousy football and we're sick of it" type message to make me think it might be productive.

    "Free Mims" is just trying to rearrange the deck chairs on the Titanic as it goes down.

    I'm not sure. I haven't heard anything about moore so I assumed he was good. He didn't practice yesterday. we'll have to see later in the week. if smith and moore are both out then i'd expect mims to be active

    I said that the dumb shit shouldn't have said that, that it might come back to bite him in the ass, and it has!!! He may be likeable, but I'm starting to think that he's as dumb as a stump.

    yeah I hadn't heard anything on that yet. if he is out mims still wouldn't start. also depends of crowder comes back this week which is possible. it's likely davis and cole with crowder or berrios as the top 3. mims will be WR5

    Saleh said Mims will get opportunities, so he may start over Cole.
