    I was thinking about this in terms of Scotty McKnight, but Sanchez very well could reach out to Powell and Kerley as well.

    Teams aren't allowed contact with their new draftees. That means no playbook. There's nothing to prevent players from having contact with each other. Our only player organized team activities (that I know of) are the two passing camps being run by Sanchez. Drafting 2 receivers and a RB, especially a WR who lives 10 minutes from Mission Viejo High School and is friends with the QB, means those three very well could get some experience with our QB while most draft picks are sitting around clueless about the future.

    Why draft McKnight instead of possibly taking him as a UDFA? Looks awfully suspicious if a UDFA is attending a team activity.

    Add McElroy to the list of potential players he could reach out to.

    I was thinking along these lines as well. Hopefully he'll be inviting McElroy out there as well. It would be a boone for the team if Sanchez can get all of the offensive rookies around for Jets West.

    Completely agree with this.

    I've been looking around, but I can't find mention of another QB organizing a passing camp. Anyone know of any? I can't help but think Tanny and Rex anticipated what their QB would do. Unspoken bond right there.

    I would love to see all the offensive rooks out there. I would think McElroy will talk with Sanchez here soon. Sanchez watched the draft at Scotty's house, so he had to know we took a QB. I also want Powell and Kerley out there ASAP. they are going to get so little time to work given the stupid lockout that any extra time they can get with their QB is going to be paramount

    If the coaching staff was smart, they gave Sanchez about 5 backup playbooks....you know, just in case he kept "misplacing" them.

    That's exactly the kind of thing Rex would do. You know this lockout is killing him.

    I think Colt McCoy set something up for the Browns

    I don't see how the NFL can truly stop teams from sneaking playbooks and notes to players. I am sure a good majority of playbooks got out during the short opening in the lockout last week.

    As i said in an earlier post by the time this season starts Scotty McKnight might be a starter for the Jets. He might be the only reciever that is in sync with the Sanchise. I'm sure Cotchery would fly out there as he is under contract but not so sure about Edwards or Holmes.

    Sorry but I can't really believe that the teams are really not giving playbooks to anybody... for years people has illegaly dealing drugs, I'm sure some millionaires can find a way to deal playbooks.

    Once said that, Jets West is gonna be a lot more important this year and hopefully the 4 offensive rookies are there. It's not the same to read a playbook than actually practice it.

    Haha yeah if there was ever a year where somebody's playbook ends up on the internet (like the Ravens) this would be it.

    the only hang up on this idea is the agents telling them not to do anything to risk injury because it could jeopardize a contract

    I'm guessing McKnight will be taking the same risk as Edwards and go to Jets West.

    a multi millionaire vs a freshly drafted 7th round pick are not taking the same risks.
