He had a pretty good rookie year on a really bad team.  Was their best defender in many of the Jests games I watched last year, IMHO.   Physical SS with good range.  Interceptions aren’t everything, hombre.

 

I certainly don’t doubt that he’ll be a solid 10+ year player.  Maybe even better than that. But I found it interesting that Tre was granted some kind of DB honor ahead of him (I forget the “designation”, but I’m sure others know), despite being the “lesser” prospect. That says something about Tre.

The history of the NFL is loaded with rookies who stood out on bad teams.

 

 

 

Indeed.  Agree to disagree I suppose.  What I saw on he field was a talented young safety.

Jamal appears to be somewhat of a big floppin douchebag.  No doubt about that.

Brady gets into a lot of people’s head including Adams’. 

 

So he picks a weak target (Allen) to bolster his bravado. 

 

You’re a Safety. You’re not Ed Reed. It’s nice to think you can will your team to greatness, but we all know you can’t.

Saying God put him there so the jets can win a Superbowl is more annoying than the Allen tweet. 

 

I'm glad he's not a Bill. People invoking God into sports is almost as dumb as him talking about how he'd want to die on the field. He's lucky he's an athlete, because he comes across as dumb and self absorbed.

Adams lead the league in TFL’s last season. He’s a strong safety..his main job is run support and he did a very good job at it. He also has the ability to play good coverage..he has the football IQ and work ethic for it.

 

I think a lot of you are misinterpreting what Adams said about Allen. 

 

This is just some fun competitive fire. Outside of football, Adams is a very confident yet humble guy. Don’t have such thin skin..his comments weren’t mean to be taken as a lot of you are taking it.

He was obviously talking about Wilkerson’s laziness and being late for meetings. All that more obvious when he said “Nah, that isn’t an issue anymore”

 

Yeah, because Mo plays in Green Bay now.

B/R: The tweet at Josh Allen. Is that part of the mental warfare?

 

Adams: Yeah, I know he's seen it. I know he's definitely seen it, so that means he's going to try me and I definitely want him to try me. I'm excited for this year. I'm itching for this year because a lot of people just don't know. They just don't know yet. I don't want to spoil the treats. I just can't wait.

 

are you the QB ?? Oh, I see, sit down.

Makes the rivalry with the Jets more interesting having Adams to root against.

I really have no issue with what he said about Allen. It didn’t get my angry or anything.

 

Honestly, I just found it kind of funny that a guy with zero career (NFL) picks is doing so much trash talking about how he can’t wait to pick off our new QB. 

 

 

As to his other comments: it sure sounded like he was talking about more than just Mo. He used the word “everybody” multiple times. His exact words were that “everybody did the bare minimum”. 

 

 

 

Either way, it wasn’t a very good look for Adams IMO. Just like Kelvin Benjamin’s recent comments about Cam+Carolina wasn’t a good look for him. 

 

There’s no reason to throw your team under the bus like that. I don’t really see how any good will come of it.

You come out and throw right at him. Let his play do the talking for him.

He wasn’t throwing his team under the bus. He was throwing Mo Wilkerson under the bus and Wilkerson deserved it. This team went 5-11 last year.

 

this is what you want from a leader, you want him to step up and say the things others don’t want to say because they don’t want to step on toes. He didn’t do nothing but tell it like it is.

I disagree. I guess me me and you just have a much different interpretation of what he said.

Adams: “Everybody was used to losing. You can always tell that vibe. I came in, and it was like everybody wanted to do the bare minimum.

They didn’t want to go above and beyond. They didn’t want to take that extra step. Theydidnt want to be uncomfortable, [but] to be great, you have to be uncomfortable. You have to be willing to sacrifice and willing to do the little things. And the team, the organization, just wasn’t doing those things”.

 

 

 

Quote

Adams: “...... That sense of everybody getting used to it. Like, it hasn’t been going good. People are not studying their plays. People aren’t knowing the plays. People aren’t knowing their assignments. We get paid to play a game. You think people would be dedicated to their craft and actually study it and know it like the back of their hand. It just didn’t happen on our team”.

 

Personally, I interpret that to mean that it was more than just Mo Wilkerson. He even refers to the entire team multiple times. 

 

 

 

Then when asked how you change that, he says -

 

 

Quote

“When you have that mind-set —when you have that dog in you—it kind of rubs off on people. When they see you out there flying around the ball, talking a little trash and having that energy, they feed off it and they appreciate it....” 

 

If it was only Mo, why would he say this? He is obviously talking about current teammates. Why would he have to rub off on guys to get them to change if it were only Mo? Mo is gone... 

 

 

But I get it. You’re a Jets fan. I am sure I’d defend a Bills player if he said something similar, and try to interpret it in the bets possible way.

 

I don’t think these comments are that big a deal anyway. But they were definitely ill advised (which is why Bowles and some fellow teammates said they addressed them with Adams).

We once had a top-10 SS from a top college program that talked a big game, but when push came to shove he was a decent run defender and nothing more.

 

Maybe Adams turns out to be more than Donte Whitner, but until then it'd be more prudent of him to actually prove something on the field before he calls out divisional opponents.
