Maybe just maybe..although it shouldn't be needed, maybe the birth of his child will motivate him to heights unseen !!
OL is indeed mediocre at best, but fortunately, with Mangold there, and with a slowing but still decent Ferguson at LT, it's also probably mediocre at worst.
PLUS in all honesty..there are certain times in management where you have to treat everyone equally..if Eric Decker was in same position..no one would say anything..but in grand scheme of things and especially with that situation..there is nothing different that Decker or Smith's newborn..neither one is "more important" they both are. I actually think Bowles would let a late round or UDFA go...of course its at there own risk with the knowledge they have a lot of studying..potential extra waork to do
What makes you feel this way?
If we're going to look at Geno through green-colored glasses, why not the OL?
Carpenter CAN be a good find -- he just has to stay healthy.
Harrison might end up a gem -- he just has to care enough about the game.
Brick might end up having a better year if he doesn't have to compensate so much for weak guard play.
Oday might step up now that he's in his 3rd year.
Colon might commit less penalties now that he's part of a Porsche.
The entire unit may produce better under a scheme that (supposedly) gets rid of the ball quicker.
Personally I'll be SHOCKED if QB isn't our weakest link. If we get competent play there, I don't see any other unit holding us back . . .
Day 3 of minicamp is underway.

Id love to keep both, but I get your point. Likely only 1. Can't wait to see them return kicks, punts, and see what they do with Petty.

Sounds like a good start to practice today for Owusu -- long TD reception from Geno.
As any good Qb will tell you, a QB with more time to pass will make an average QB look good and a good QB look great. QBs with time to throw are better QBs, that's a fact, regardless of how good they are.
However, QBs without an oline has to make quick throws, allowing defenses to cheat off deep routes, causing eventual turnovers...that's also fact. QBs can only hide bad oline so much, but olines can hide mediocre QB play.
I say this regardless of name of the QB. Colin Kapernick is the best example if you want to see a name, as the oline and run game gets worse and worse, you're quickly seeing he is an average QB. With a good oline and run game, he can be a good QB. I dont think people look at him as "great" in the mold of Brady, Rodgers, Brees, or old Manning...
agreed

They like the Nebraska kid.
Winters never impressed me much...Colon and/or Winters may be looking for work come late August.

Not a bad day for @Owusu81 and Shaq Evans, both of whom have made a couple tough catches in traffic. #Jets [URL=http://jetsfansunited.com/forum/usertag.php?do=list&action=hash&hash=nyj]#nyj ets[/URL]

Jeremy Kerley just made the catch of the week. Twisting around to grab a poorly thrown ball #nyj
