I don't ever hear anything on these 2 guys. Smith was our #1 ST return guy at one time - does anyone have a status? Stuckey - well he did look pretty good in pre-season before he got injured. Anyone hear anyhting on him?
I believe there is an interview with him on the JETS website. Stuckey is ansi and can't wait to get back on the field. I'll try and find it.
It wasn't the JETS website it was JETS confidential. The interview is about a month old. http://nyj.scout.com/2/727818.html Gregg's exit meeting with Chansi Stuckey By Gregg Hayim Posted Feb 8, 2008 This is the first part of a series of interviews JC's Gregg Hayim did with Jets players at the end of the season - Hayim: This season started off hot for you in training camp. Unfortunately, the foot injury kept you sidelined. How would you asses your progress from a mental standpoint as the season went along? Stuckey: I just used this time to be as useful as I can. Just watched the older guys and learned from them. Seeing what they do during the game, how they make adjustments the way they watch film. Just learning the mental part of the game. Hayim: Was it difficult at all to only be able to work on the mental aspects of the game, not being able to implement what you?re learning to the actual playing field? Stuckey: I mean, sometimes. Because once you learn the mental stuff you want to see how it translates to doing it physically. So you just have to keep learning and picturing yourself out there doing it. Hayim: Was it frustrating at all? Stuckey: Everything happens for a reason, so you just take it for what it is and try to get better in any way you can. Hayim: How confident are you, heading into next season, that you made the most of your time in learning the system? Stuckey: I feel pretty good. Jericho, LC and Justin were very helpful in helping me learn. Anytime I had questions they helped me like they always have. So yeah, I think I used this time as useful as I could. Hayim: How excited are you to get back out on the field? Stuckey:Extremely excited. A new year and I?m just trying to go in with an open mind Lets see if he can pick up where he left off.
lol Yea thats what i figured Hornet ... What impact does everyone think Miller will have when he returns???
Actually, it is a bit more than that; I would have to talk about it in the B S Forum though. I just can't yet.
Justin Miller has to learn how to play CB on defense. Otherwise, he's not going to stick with the NYJ just to run back KOs.
Fixed for you. I don't expect either to have a major role on the team next year right now, but either one could prove me wrong. Stuckey looked good last year, but he's still a 7th round pick coming off a major injury. Miller looked great last year until he got hurt, if he picks up where he left off, he could be a good player for us.
Stuckey was well-regarded by many analysts and probably would have gone in the top half of the draft if it weren't for the injury. I certainly think that he has the potential to be a contributor this year if the injury isn't a constantly reoccurring one.
My gosh, I had forgotten about Miller. I'm excited about Stuckey, just because he's got great speed in Madden!
Miller probably has an edge in top speed but the shorter Washington is harder to pick up in a crowd, and can make sharper cuts in eluding tacklers running in the open field. I'd guess Leon is the better of the two. Leon also has better hands.
