I guess someone could take a flyer on him thinking they could be the coach to get him straightened out and that he would be a better fit in their system than the WCO, but I doubt it. Unless I'm mistaken (which I could be), wouldn't that team have to sign him to their regular roster rather than their PS? If so, I'm not sure they'd want to drop someone who earned a spot on their roster to take a flyer on Hill, but there'd probably be at least a couple of teams who would do that. I could definitely see another team signing him to their PS.
To begin with Saunders is their #1 PR. I doubt the team wants to expose Kerley in that role, plus he hasn't exactly torn it up as a PR. I think Saunders has a lot more potential as a PR than Kerley. Saunders was a pretty good weapon at Oklahoma. He's faster than Kerley and tough. I don't think there's any way he'd pass waivers. If the Jets plan on keeping Saunders, I think it will be on the regular roster. In addition, I think he will also get snaps at WR and not just be a PR.
It's wishful thinking on your part because you want that roster spot for Hill. We almost certainly are not releasing a 4th round pick the year he was drafted in hopes that he clears waivers. The Jets are hoping Saunders is there version of DeSean Jackson.
In your scenario of letting Richardson go, what happens if Powell gets nicked up and can't play? If I'm not mistaken, Powell has missed some time because he's been banged up. TBoh offers this team nothing as far as I'm concerned, and I don't understand why he survived the first cut. IMO he's as useless as tits on a bull. I agree with you that Young looked better, and you may have a point that the team may not be keeping a FB. I'd much rather keep Richardson over TBoh or Hill. Additionally, some team may have their top 2 RBs go down with injuries during the season before the trade deadline, and the Jets might be able to pick up a nice draft pick for Richardson.
They should keep Richardson. He deserves his spot. But I could see them cutting him and then signing him back after week 1 so they don't have to pay his contract for the whole year... and in turn open up an extra spot for week 1 that can be wasted on Stephen Hill, unfortunately. (after week 1 someone would likely be hurt somewhere on the roster for Richardson to take the role)
I was lobbying for keeping Richardson in my previous post, But in that scenario,.. If we lose all 3 backs to injury over the course of the year we're in a lot of trouble regardless if we have Richardson or not. Additionally I don't think Hills roster spot (or lack their of as it may be ) has any affect on either of these players. IMO, I think it's between Richardson or Tboh.
He was their #1 PR by default though no? I never saw anything from him that merited his spot there. He has had 5 chance with 3 fair catches and 11 yards on the 2 other returns. With 1 catch for 1 yard. Those numbers he could more or less be replaced by anyone, Which isn't to say he has potential for that position. I just don't remember hearing much hype about him leading up to the draft and I guess I just don't see why other teams would be jumping all over him. I'm not sure that teams are waiting on NYJets WR to get cut,.. DLine maybe,. But WRs I don't think will not be the focus of other teams on our waiver trash.
Man, Get a life. I'm trying to have a reasonable conversation, that has nothing to do with Hill. Since you're incapable you can put me on ignore and just stop replying to my posts. On a related note, does anyone know how to make the Phone App for tapatalk hide ignored members content like the desktop version does?
lmao. you post ad nauseam about Stephen Hill on here while rocking a Hill avatar and then cry about it when people associate you with him. tool. This is a thread about which receivers we're keeping. Obviously when you talk about releasing one guy it affects the others involved in that conversation.
We were having a conversation about Saunders and what he brings to the team. Assuming that I only have an opinion on him because "I want his spot for Hill" is so fucking asinine. Just because I support hill, and happen to use him as my avatar which I set on draft day and don't care to change. DOES NOT mean that every post I have is about him.. as much as you'd like that to be the case. Hill ( as of right now ) is a NY Jet, As long as he is so, I will have an opinion on him and I come here to express it. The only reason I give a shit about Hill is that I think he can help this team. I don't have any personal association with him. I'm not winning anything for supporting him or posting about him to piss you guys off just like you dont win anything for having the "wittiest" bashing post on one of our players, Or for being a complete asshole. As I've stated I try to be unbiased in my observations and use them to back up my opinions. If he gets cut, You won't see his name in a post of mine again. Until then I will continue to participate in WR threads and threads associated with him, But will also post about the rest of the players on the team. You don't have to assume that every time I touch the board it's got something to do with Hill.
It's not really a reasonable position to think a 4th round pick from this years draft is going to be cut and stashed on the practice squad. Given your well documented love for Stephen Hill, it's not a big leap to assume it's wishful thinking on your part. Sorry if I hurt your feelings. I was giving your credit for being reasonable. Maybe I was wrong.
My feelings don't get hurt by asinine posts on the internet. Just wish they didn't have to derail just about every conversation for no reason other then to assert "superior" intellect and football knowledge.
Given the fact that we're talking about wide receivers that should make the team and you defend Stephen Hill as if he were he was your child, it's understandable to think that wanting to cut a different wide receiver supports your agenda to defend Hill. It's not that ridiculous, especially considering you're about the last guy on the entire board that wants Hill on this team.
The 2nd one he puts work on Dix (Packers FS). Hopefully this is our man to replace Steven Hill. Can't wait to see him play against the Eagles. That 2nd GIF is a really nice route.
I was asking what Saunders brings to the table that merits the spot on the team, and/or what his pedigree was that it's ridiculous he would pass waivers to get to the PS given that he has contributed very little during preseason and that he's very undersized for the position. While this is related to Hill because they play the same position, The question can be ( and should ) be answered without involving Hill at all. If i wanted to compare the two I would have posted that he doesn't deserve the spot over Hill, That's not at all what I said.
we are a running team, first and foremost. depth at the running back position is extremely important to this team ... if we are going to make a playoff push, we need guys fresh in december. d richardson is great insurance to have marty likes t-bo and theres been no indication this preseason that his spot is up for grabs hills spot does have an effect on those guys because there are only so many roster spots that can be devoted to the offense ... right now, hill is the 7th or 8th pass catching option (decker, kerley, cumberland, amaro, salas, nelson, cj) on a running team and he provides no special teams value at this point, hill would likely be inactive on most game days ... hes dead weight
no clue ... from what ive read, hes been doing positional drills in practice but thats about it luckily the issue is with his non-surgically repaired achilles
Remember when this first happened they said it was achilles"tightness" 3 weeks out of team portion for tightness seems wrong. Back to your point about being a run first team, In a way that gives Hill a little bit of a boost as far as his value to the team, Though I definitely hear what you're saying about limited # of roster spots. My ? concerning Tbohs roster spot was more based on the number of times we put out a true FB formation. I know marty likes his Fullbacks, but I feel like we've seen a lot of shotgun / pistol formations this preseason. Feel that I've seen very few Pro/I formation and very little of the fullbacks in general. If we only run a couple of plays with a fullback a game is Bohannons spot on the 53 really worth it? Maybe I just missed it though, If anyone has the actual statistics to the formations we've been using and snap counts for the different members of offense that'd be some great information to share.
Appreciate the defending Flajetfan, I admitted I was wrong, and that was the end of it, no need for the trash talk, but whatever, I'm used to that on occasion through the years, and it IS a (jets) message board after all. I understand the guy may think I was trying to belittle him, which is unfortunate because I wasn't.
