billsfan89 Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 Bitching about voluntary workouts always reminds me of that scene in Office Space about "Pieces of Flare." If you want me to wear 20 pieces why not make the minimum 20? If it is truly voluntary then you have the option to not show up. 1
Nester Posted May 7, 2019 Posted May 7, 2019 They should stop calling the voluntary if they are going to cry if you opt not to go.

They have the option because it’s written into the CBA, not because it is considered a best practice. There is so little time anymore in TC to prepare for the season. Because the jets have a new head his head, they are given a little extra time as well. They are given that opportunity to build chemistry as a team. He’s declining. If he’s not interested in that part, it may not hurt the team but it certainly won’t help. 8 minutes ago, Nester said: They should stop calling the voluntary if they are going to cry if you opt not to go. The NFL and the NFLPA aren’t the ones crying. They are the ones that call it voluntary.

But the whole mandatory but not mandatory concept behind voluntary workouts is funny to me because some coaches basically make it unofficially mandatory.
#34fan Posted May 8, 2019 Posted May 8, 2019 It's a terrible look... Makes the Steeler front office collectively say uh-huh! -right before "good riddance!" Disappointing... I see him and Gase getting on the outs reeeeeal quick.

I think the importance is that players can't be fined/punished for not attending if it's called voluntary. Personally, I think this does not look good for Bell and looks worse for Gase. I couldn't be happier. 1

Bell took to social media to respond to a question about when he's going to attend practice after skipping some voluntary workouts: "When it's time to play football...l got to stick to the formula that I know works for me to be the best player I can be...l'm not just tryna win football games, I want a ring! I want to desperately show everybody what I can what I can REALLY do...I'll take the heat right now, everybody will forget about that once January comes around. LOL Code for: "When I can work off my year off weight...." 1

Plus he talks about wanting a ring, but goes from Pittsburgh (playoff team nearly every year) to the Jets longest playoff drought in the AFC east. 1

Bruce Harper Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Maybe I'm nuts but I think the Jets are going to be pretty good this season.
YoloinOhio Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 Drug test coming in 3-2-1.... Bell - New phone, who dis?

Bruce Harper Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 8 minutes ago, Big C said: It could go either way. Their OL stinks but Bell's pass-catching and Darnold's mobility should mitigate that somewhat. They are strong up the middle defensively. Much like the Bills, it all depends on whether their QB takes a leap forward.

Indeed. there's perceived dysfunction but they have a lot of talent throughout that team, and I still feel Darnold is the gem (polish, potential) of that QB class. there's a lot of cray-cray from top to bottom in that organization, but it's possible it comes together and for some reason my gut tells me they'll be just lucky enough for it to go the right direction.
