BigSKINBauer 07-28-2005, 03:45 PM coles, i mean that is a good team but then again it is a run run run team, no reciever(including moss) had over 1000 yards on that team, moss had the most but I mean they have MCcarien and the sherbert guy. Not the best WR corp, not horrible but in all seriousness not amazing. Coles will be the go to guy on offense, well after the run.
Gardner- might not even start, so that has to be a factor, and if he plays like 50/50 you can expect production just to be a little better than this year
Moss- I can see 1000 yards, which i can't see for gardner or Coles, but also i can see just 50-60 catches, so 1000 yards would be hard to get.
Patten i really think will surprise people. i think that he will do "better" than Moss, not in total yards but in his part as second WR on our team.
I think that the jets and hopefully us will run a lot next year. This leaves gardner, but he might not even start let alone be the receiver on that team, so this is a hard question indeed. I would have to say Moss or Coles just because they are starting number 1s and narrow it to Coles because he will get the majority of the catches on that team.
On a side note the speed we have will undoubtably force some room, no matter what, if we just threatend a deep pass they will be forced to play back and then portis will take it. I truly feel that the room that portis will get will cause our offense to become really productive. this will help our defense because they wouldn't be on the field 3 minutes after they get off. If we get room for portis i can only imagine what will happen. Can't wait Can't Wait Can't Wait
EternalEnigma21 07-28-2005, 03:56 PM I gotta say coles will have the best year. Ramsey will be spreading the ball around among a plethera of speedsters this year. Coles is basically the Jets best option at wideout and pennington will be trying to restore the reputation for a deep threat after being questioned at the end of last season.
Gardner will be a #3 reciever. Colbert is more talented and consistant, and steve smith is a gamebreaker if he's healthy. On top of which, I like Jake D and everything, but he does just toss the ball in the air A LOT, and he just happens to have physical recievers to bring it down. Moose, Smith, Colbert, Mangum, etc...I wouldn't say Gardner cant preform like those guys, its just a question of will he and based on his preformance here, I'd have to say no.
Gmanc711 07-28-2005, 05:42 PM Well, I think you gotta take Gardner out first, because he is going to be a #3 recivier. Or a #2, who dosent get as many looks as a normal #2, because Kerry Colbert is very good.
Coles I think could have a very big year in New York. He is defintley their go to guy up there, so I would have to chose him. I think here in Washington, we will be spreading the ball around more, so none of those guys will see as many passes as Coles.
TheMalcolmConnection 07-28-2005, 07:23 PM I think Patten will be our biggest surprise. EVERY interview he talks about how he wants to be the #1 receiver and not let anyone down...
GoSkins! 07-28-2005, 10:51 PM Coles if coming into the best situation. He already has chemistry with Pennington and always is around 1000 yards a season. I'm voting for him.
SmootSmack 07-28-2005, 11:06 PM How about our main man Chris Cooley, does he count?
I'm also one of those in the "this is Taylor Jacobs' year to blow up!" camp. Remember how Porter exploded for all those touchdowns a couple of years ago with the Raiders? I see the same happening with Jacobs. He may not get a lot of receptions but he'll make the most of the ones he does get.
GoSkins! 07-29-2005, 12:04 AM ... Jacobs. He may not get a lot of receptions but he'll make the most of the ones he does get.
Agreed. I think we started to see signs of this by the end of last year. How do you cover Moss, Patten, Jacobs, Cooley, and Portis?
Schneed10 07-29-2005, 02:06 PM Agreed. I think we started to see signs of this by the end of last year. How do you cover Moss, Patten, Jacobs, Cooley, and Portis?
Well, on Patten, I have no doubts that he can be a capable starting receiver. But I can't see him doing anything crazy like putting up 1000 yards, because now he's going to be facing starting CBs. Sure, he was able to torch the nickels for a big play, but it's not going to be as easy now. I do think he'll make a better #2 in this system than Rod Gardner did.
Overall I think our passing game has made improvements, but do I see us bombing pass after pass like Brad Johnson to Westbrook and Brad Johnson to Connell in 1999? No. We're still going to be a run-first team. These new WRs are here to help keep 8 men out of the box, that's their job first and foremost. I don't see lots of catches for Moss, Patten, or Jacobs; so it's hard for me to envision 1000 yards for any of them.
What will drive our offensive success this year will be Yards Per Catch and Yards Per Carry stats. I think that even though Moss may catch only 50 balls, if he gets 800-900 yards on the season, we'll have a productive offense, as long as Portis is back to 4.5 yards per carry. 50 balls with 900 yards spells big plays. And if we can keep the ball moving on the ground a bit better this year, that should be all we need given our strong defense.
Remember we don't need miracles on offense. We just need progress.
skinsguy 07-29-2005, 02:47 PM I think Taylor Jacobs is going to be the surprise of the NFL this year. I do believe Coles will have some sort of "rebirth" in a Jets uniform, because I honestly don't believe he ever wanted to leave NY to begin with.
Gardner won't be extremely impressive, but will have a decent year because he's in a new place.
crlesh 07-29-2005, 02:51 PM Coles will re-aggravate his toe and will be severly limited, if not on IR by the middle of the season. Gardner will perform well but not spectacularly for his new team. Moss will be a decoy. Jacobs, Patten, and Cooley will put up the TDs (except for Porti's rushing TDs). Jacobs outperforms them all in scoring TDs.
