at this point with the WR market dried up we either need to wait it out till Braylon takes down his asking price OR Ive said it in numerous threads but we should bring in Zach Miller and Manny Lawson. we obviously need another db body or two. But Miller would open up the run and pass game and equates to numerous options with splitting Keller out wide. Lawson never caught on in SF but is someone worth investing a go at if we plan on anyone other than a DB sacking the QB.
I think Braylon will come back on a 1 yr deal and hit the market again next year Zach Miller would be a pretty incredible signing
2 TEs sets would work GREAT for the Jets... with two real TEs, not Keller and Hartsock (thanks god he signed with the Panthers)
ppl prolly wont click this threadcuz of my joke thread last night ppl were too busy removing their bloody tampon from the aso ordeal to relax and laugh at the ppl who took me serious FTR me and Theo have been pounding the desk for Zach Miller/Lawson EDIT:Iggy prolly in to co-sign soon
teams run/pass read options would suck. keep teams on there heels not to mention open more up for the outside
I wasn't planning to come back until I knew I wouldn't spend half my life on this board again, but I was talking to Coach K and he told me about this thread. I've been talking to posters via IM this week about how much I hated the Nnamdi pursuit. I wanted to go after Edwards (which, given his market and asking price was not the right time), grab Manny Lawson, and get a nickel CB to allow Wilson a chance to start with the mental game catching up to his physical skills. I don't like the other options at receiver. I don't like Cro enough in the system for the money he'd be paid, particularly with regard to his physicality. Given the weakness of the WR market, especially the woefully underperforming Malcom Floyd (I'm still not sure how anyone who has watched him could want him on a market-driven multi-year contract when he's 30 and struggles to get open even in single coverage), I'd hate to spend simply to spend at the position. Floyd and Jones aren't as good as Cotchery, flat out. If Jerricho is back to full health, he's better than either option. When Coach K brought up the Zach Miller possibility, I was IMMEDIATELY intrigued. Fit him in at the same money as Floyd and it's a no-brainer. He brings much more to the table than Keller and allows us to open up our passing game. If we can't have Edwards, it's foolish to hope for anyone else at the price of Miller.
couldve used you last night to remind everyone i was joking last night before they shit themselves ahahaha yeah ppl dont get it a joke or the logic behind these proposed moves or the fact i put the notion out getting Aso wouldnt be all its cracked up to be
Where did all this Zach Miller stuff come from? Not saying he's not good, because he is.. but I doubt the team is looking for another TE to match will Keller. Unless I missed something?
The more I've thought about this, the more I'm on board Zach Miller. If he and Floyd cost similar money, bring in Miller, and make Keller a receiving tight end. That's what the Patriots do, for one. An extra big body out there would help running the ball. We still would need to find someone to stretch the field. But Miller is a better player than Keller is, and I would take a hard look at him.
theres nothing wrong with two good recieving TE's miller is overall better a much stronger slightly athletic version of keller seemed to work well for the Pats plus we run double tights ALL the time cept hartsock was never a threat
Said this in the FA thread but other names that would fit in this mold. TE Todd Heap Kevin Boss How about Ernie Sims for OLB former 1st round pick hasn't done much in career but fast as hell if I remember might be able to do something in our system.
Do you guys think we will be ok with Cotchery as the #2 if we don't get a new WR/TE? Marks USC buddy Patrick Turner has nice height/speed (6'5" 220lbs) and chemistry with Mark from their USC days then there is this kid the 5th rounder and the 7th rounder Scotty McKnight and Santonio Then there is Keller Is this ok? I think not
Cotchery isn't an ideal #2. Neither are Floyd or Jones. Floyd offers the most physically, but his best season would be Cotchery's 5th best. He's older than Jerricho, and like I said, he's struggled mightily even in a passing offense in which double teams have allowed him copious single coverage. The problem is this idea that we HAVE to sign a WR, so we should be content with the best we can get. Miller would aid the passing game MUCH more, and we could target WR as a need in the 2012 draft. I'd rather have Braylon, but Miller would be an outstanding pickup.
How is Zach Miller's run blocking? He is an excellent pass-catching TE, but the lack of interest league-wide is surprising.
ive been enamored with the miller idea ever since that raiders fan posted about it ... makes a TON of sense
He's a fantastic blocker. The lack of interest is in part due to his limited pass catching, but those limitations have primarily come from the QBs throwing him the ball.
