  1. It was a good retort handled with class. And McDermott showed that he and his family are committed to this area and the team. Now if the reporter had phrased it like, "you're heading back to Philly where you have some history...", he may have gotten a bit further along.
  2. Agree. One of the deeper drafts for WR so it would make very little sense to pay any kind of a premium to retain Davis, when we could land a WR with a good shot of having more upside that we would have on an affordable rookie deal. I think that WR2 position he occupies is upgradeable and they need to be willing to let Gabe walk. I like our drafted players to go on and have decent NFL careers, but much like Edmunds, you can't sign everybody, nor should you.
  3. Never been a fan of the draft takes that say things like will "never" be an able blocker before a player has had any time working with NFL position coaches that can coach up that ability a bit. He has good balance and is quick off the line and has shown some good positioning on reach blocks on the edge, granted his technique still needs work as he has also given up some quick inside rushes when trying to set those up, but you can see progress. Needs some work on his picks/rubs as he mauled some defenders earlier this year, but all those things are things I feel he will correct quickly. No club would be looking for big time inline blocking ability from Kincaid, that is not what we need from him as a great pass catching threat. Just holding his own long enough to spring the occasional outside zone run vs wider alignments or being able to reach/block and help seal the outside edges on stretch runs, sweeps, swing passes, screens, etc... Really liked that smart blocking he did downfield on that Shakir TD - just throwing a bit of a hip check on a defender to throw them off their angle of pursuit.
  4. Dunno if it is so much their scheme as it is their personnel. The Jets can generate a lot of pressure and get sacks with just their front four vs 5-man protections which then allows their very good pair of LBs to stay clean and just play fast to the ball or cover the flats/RBs/TEs. They also have a solid secondary with very good CBs and safeties. The flip side of having that kind of defensive investment is it likely came at the expense of having a crap O-line, pedestrian QBs, and limited offensive weapons. Of course they did fork a ton of money over to Rogers, but I wonder how much of a beating he could have taken behind that line if the Bills had not knocked him out of the lineup game 1. Probably pretty happy to take his checks and safely watch his backups get pounded from afar.
  5. Winning cures a lot of things. There is good and bad execution in every game, but the bad things get magnified in losses. The team looked better prepared on Offense and the sloppiness, mistakes, and lack of production from that unit game after game was getting old for all of us. Justified or not, that is the reason Dorsey was shown the exit. I don't hate on Dorsey like some, as Allen credits him for a lot of the success he has had in past seasons. I do think that the jump from QB room to OC is a big one and for this franchise with a defense-minded HC an OC has to manage a lot more than the Xs and Os. Sometimes it takes a candidate a few times failing in those roles to figure out how to find success.
  6. "Not as much hero-ball as we are used to seeing." That was kind of a d### thing to say and not very professional. Even if he believes that about Allen, you don't say that #### at the podium. Doubt McD would say Wilson "Held the ball, turtled up, and took sacks like we are used to seeing".
  7. If the NFL was just about finding track stars it would be easy. What you want in your pass-catching TE is the size mismatch of course, but also great balance and body control, route running, ability to come in and out of their breaks smoothly, great catch radius with good hands, and the ability to read and exploit coverages. There are a lot of reasons to get excited about this kid - trying to tap the brakes myself, but he looks like the real thing.
  8. 40 times really don't correlate well to TE success in the NFL although Olsen and V. Davis had success and good straight line speed. Look at the weaknesses the NFL.com draft site had for that 40 yard slug Kelce: "Only one season of production Doesn't have blazing speed Not a tremendously explosive athlete Doesn't come out of his breaks all that well" Yeah, that guy is going to suck playing TE.
  9. Dunno... that drive only survived because the refs gifted NY a fresh set of downs with a phantom DPI on Douglas, and then the 15 yarder called on Oliver planting Wilson, and the dump pass to their RB after we lost Taron and were moving guys around. Not too down on the defense for that series. Other times this year - yes, I have been baffled by the calls.
  10. He had one of his better games and seemed to be in the right spots in zone when covering the flat. Had some good solid downhill stops too in the run game.
  11. A lot of tackle wrap that we have been doing well all season. Works especially well vs 4-man fronts as Brown can block down on their 1T with Torrence and then Dawkins pulls around to blow up their edge defender. It is just that this game they continued to go back to it and the Jets did not have a lot of answers other than getting chippy after getting rolled for yards. Been looking for more toss-sweeps, swing, and wheel passes and Brady mixed more of those in too which caught their LBs out of position a few times It is just one game for Brady, you can't get too high or too low. That being said, this is a much more talented offense than the one he had in NC, we will see what he is able to get out of them.
  12. Just feel a sense of relief. They did not beat themselves and the defense got some turnovers - been a while since we were on the right side of the turnover differential. No secret sauce - just don't beat ourselves and Brady leaned into the plays that had decent chances to work and kept the running game going all game long... had me worried with that first series, but he adjusted. The offensive players looked like they had some life in their eyes... just saying. Good game.
  13. When teams played us with more man and single high safeties, Davis had a lot more success getting open deep. With how much 2-high and quarters teams play against us he really does not get separation deep. More of our open spots for Allen are going to be in areas underneath in the soft spots in in the zones or in the flat where Davis just struggles to get any separation. I feel like Davis is maybe our 3rd WR when Knox gets back with Shakir and Kincaid needing more targets.
  14. We have had some suck ref crews this year. That unbelievably weak PI call that kept the only Jets scoring drive alive, and just incompetence and one zebra huddle after the next dragging this game out. Was shocked they finally called Sauce for how much hugging and grabbing he does out there.
  15. Thank you Green Bay! Unbelievable that they let Douglas go.... this kid is a baller.
  16. Harty should never be the first read.... IMO
  17. Thank you Oliver for proving me wrong and wrapping Wilson up.
  18. So Davis or Shakir? Who do you want to see on the field more getting opportunities - thank you Brady. Shakir just has more juice and ability to get open underneath against those 2-deep looks we see so often.
  19. Ed of the "T-Rex" arms gets Wilson on the ground. I love Ed's motor and I know he is disruptive, but I see him so close so often and rarely seems to be able to wrap up.
  20. What a WEAK PI
  21. Bass has been sucking this year with uncharacteristic misses and needs someone to get in his ear. Why is it that a soon as the Bills extend contracts on some players their play trends in the other direction?
  22. The Jets have made some adjustments to some of our inside runs.... That means they are giving up something else on the outside and they just did that to Quincy
  23. We saw first hand how a pick deep in your own zone can turn into points even against a good Jets defense when Zach threw his. If our Offense keeps taking care of the rock we should come out of this with the "W"
  24. Truth. Saw Rapp moving a bit when they were loading him up so hoping it is precautionary and he is OK.
  25. Took a fake punt and a huge penalty on Oliver to get the Jets in the red zone. Concerned with the injuries in the secondary - particularly Taron.
