DefenseWinsChampionships Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Would've loved to see NY FA Star Power and was reminded by many how Joe Douglas doesn't operate as such. From Cooper, Schultz, J.C. Jackson even Allen Robinson 11 years later I wanted them all. Not Joe Douglas. You're right. He's got different plans. Berrios coming back @ KR/PR/WR, an upgrade @ RG and upgraded with a 2021 LG Pro Bowler (for a severe need @ RG), a TE who I'm not familiar with but can already see he's got tremendous leadership qualities (and looking at his stats you can tell he stepped up two games for Cincinnati in the playoffs (1st two rounds). Then I look @ a team like Jacksonville and yes they added a lot more talent but they went kind of nuts in Free Agency. Joe Douglas remained disciplined while focusing on positional needs before heading into this draft. Hats off to our Jets fan base who've preached all about the draft. I'm thinking JD with the help of coach Saleh knocks it out the park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xrade Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I can understand the vitriol at not making big splashes in the off season. It garners headlines, gets people excited and talking, gets the talking heads giving us great grades for a great off season. In short, its nice to win the off season SB. The issue is that it has never worked when the games are played and maybe its why people love those big name FA's; its all we have to feel good about this team. However, after watching this team for almost half a century, I want real wins and playoff appearances. I want to enjoy watching the Jets after Halloween. And as much as I enjoy talking about the upcoming FA period and draft, I'd rather be talking about how we are going to beat team X on Sunday - and mean it. I think Joe is doing it right because it is not the same old wash, rinse and repeat failures of previous regimes. Time will tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But failing to lock up an elite Free Safety Marcus Williams was criminal imo. No excuse for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JD also has 6 wins in the two full seasons he’s had control of the team. There can be a happy medium and not all or nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well then he needs to check his ego and pride at the door because we came into Free Agency #2 in available Salary Cap Space with an NFL roster that's bottom 5 (talent wise) and he's failed to land not even 1 impact Defensive Player. JD doesn't cave at least from time to time? Well then JD doesn't win either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But #2 in Available Salary Cap Space heading into FA? And has failed to sign not even 1 impactful Defensive FA thus far at glaring positions of need. That's atrocious imo. I'll never understand nor comprehend all of these "JD can do no wrong" fans. Edited March 15, 2022 by DefenseWinsChampionships Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though, it is a long plan Jets still have to win good games to keep the goal alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
