People are viewi this signing like it's similar to the Frank Gore situation. Coleman is 27 whereas Gore is 37! Also I doubt that Saleh/Lafleur is planning on featuring him the same way Gase featured Gore. JD signed a veteran who's familiar with the offense to help out the running back room - not a dinosaur to be featured in our offense. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
Nice little pickup, but somebody has to go between Perine and Adams, Ty Johnson looked good last year
I think people equate the two because your reasoning for Coleman was peoples for Gore who new Gase's system and was going to pass on his experience to the younger RB's that didn't happen. Nobody expected Gase to trundle Gore to death down after down, even after the best running game happened (Jags) wasn't enough to stop Gase from helping Gore to 16k yards or whatever it was. I can't hate Gase enough tbh but I don't really love the Coleman signing, fingers crossed he has something to prove and arrives with some fire in his belly.
Recalling this game gives me heartburn. Half of San Frans starters got hurt and were on IR by halftime, yet the Jets still got embarrassed.
And then sat Garoppolo down after halftime because they didn't need him anymore. That was the game I gave up on the Jets last season.
Anyone thinking the Jets are using anything earlier than a 5th round pick in a rb is setting themselves up for disappointment. This is a system that makes running backs out of cheap investments. Add that Douglas loves Adams and just drafted perrine it’s just not happening.
Yup. And we’ll be stuck with bandaids til someone in the front office figures it out. That being said this system can handle bandaids but man wouldnt it be nice to just invest in a player that can run, catch and block for the first three downs?
They’re not going to be band aids, they’re going to be low round/udfa cheap efficient backs that will be here for 3-4 years and then price themselves out or stay on cap friendly deals.
just run them into the ground and next man up. I get it, thats one way to build a team but RB is personally my favorite position so it kinda sucks
I understand the arguments against drafting a RB high - and I feel like JD won't be drafting a RB before the 5th round like @FJF stated. But look how much having a stud like Nick Chubb helped Baker. They solidified the offensive line, drafted Chubb and brought in Hunt. Imagine what a RB like Etienne or Williams could do for whoever is under center.
I think we’re all partial to the star rb ways because we had martin in the golden era of the feature back .
And because there are a lot of star feature backs playing for playoff teams. Zeke, Kamara, Cook, Henry, Aaron Jones, etc. Would be nice to be good for a change.
there is nothing better than having a back who carries it 30 times, wears down the defense and gets better as the game drags on. IMO thats great football. I wish we had Derrick Henry here badly
Yea we haven't gotten the OL right in a decade and the QB right in almost two decades. Forgive me for not being confident that we can mask a patchwork system-based RB committee with a strong OL and high-powered passing game.
