there is no time for this kind of reasonable thinking. please go home and get your pitchfork and torch now
Good McKnight, Joe McKnot. When the team acquires not one but two RBs with your skill set in the offseason, you camt show up and not be a beast. Its that simple.
You love to be an asshole dont you? High School practice starts in early July. Practice as understood by NJSIAA means Helmets Pads Contact. http://www.njsiaa.org/REFERENCES/10partlimitssportrules.pdf You of course omitted the relevant link. Its a very loosely worded regulation. And, I spent 3 hours at 7 on 7 just yesterday. One of the key words you may not grasp, is Assist, though anyone with a brain knows that isnt really so. Once freshman are provided with equipment, jerseys, tshirts etc, in the next season, they already have the gear, so...its not a practice under the rules, but you arent making the team if you arent there. Practice. Starts in early July, and It did last year as well, you dont know what you are talking about.
High school teams hold illegal practices to try and get an edge on the competition. It's the Patriot way. (I was serious about the illegal practices)
So who's got a realistic chance of being the KR? At this point Cro is too valuable to be back there except in an emergency. I'd love someone to step up and challenge McKnight's one redeeming skill, but I'm drawing a blank on who it could be...
I'm in favor of keeping McKnight in camp. At the very least, he's training camp fodder, and, as another poster mentioned, he could have trade value (when he's able to pass a physical). It would be a waste to just let him walk for nothing at this stage.
i NEVER liked the leon trade hell i started watching the seahawks cause of leon. he was my favorite player when he was a jet. i used to get so frustrated seeing him make plays and hten just not be on the field
Didn't McKnight say "You'll have to kill me for my job".... Look like nobody is gonan have to kill him.
This is the guy we kept instead of Woodhead... Kind of a microcosm of the Jets losing their way and going after theoretical skill over results. From the Parcells era until Mangini, we would of kept the overacheiver over the better athlete (see Chrebet). Hopefully Idzik changes this in the next few years.
Rich Cimini @RichCimini 8m Joe McKnight, placed on the non-football injury list yesterday, is on the field. #Jets
@RossTuckerNFL: Most guys pass conditioning test 2nd time because it's rigged. Slow clock. Point's been made, get 'em on field.
Please, as if people wait to start practicing right before games. Also, I'm 25 years old. I wasn't in high school last year. My cousin isn't in high school. But seriously, by the time practices started, I would be benching more than my weight, plus squatting and deadlifting more than double my weight. But that first day of practice with pads on, hitting people and getting hit, it wrecks you pretty badly. There's in shape and in football shape and they are two very different things. Both players and coaches in the NFL have admitted to messing with times and stuff to make people fail the first time. It's just a way of getting on someone's ass.
the conditioning test is not about football shape, they will get into football shape in the coming weeks. No one should fail the conditioning test. Maybe as a rookie I could see them messing w/ the test(though we saw it on hard knocks and he was clearly not in shape) but not as a 4th year player.
