Mauldin could become the Jets Top Pass Rusher
- Thread starter Elias
- Start date
I seem to remember a Jet RB that didn't like football..
Good one, E, thanks for posting it.
Yup.......Curtis Martin hated football. Wanted to use it to escape the violence and eventually have the means to help others.

Ran his first 10 yards of the 40 in 1.68 seconds-info per NFLDraftScout.com. Seems like a good burst and considering the QB is 5-10 yards behind the LOS he should get to the QB in a hurry for the sack once he's free of the OL.
Also thought the Jets were the bottom of the barrel..
I wasn’t the biggest football fan to begin with, but if I was going to play, I didn’t want to play for what was in my mind the worst team, ever,” Martin recalled Monday afternoon in a Midtown steakhouse. “I looked at the Jets as the bottom of the barrel.”

So...... Multiply 1.68 x 4 and I come up with a 6.72 / 40 yd dash!
Just kidding.... I really hope Mauldin grasps Bowles/Rogers Defensive schemes so that he can get on the field
quickly this season. It will all depend on how quickly he is able to recognize plays. Brady vs. Rookie OLB
is usually pretty ugly, but then again Brady vs. old and slow OLB's is even uglier!
I'd rather let the young guys get their lumps in early in the season so that by week 8 they're up to speed and are able to play faster.
Lorenzo Mauldin channels his inner 'Karate Kid'
FLORHAM PARK, N.J. –- Lorenzo Mauldin physically is much bigger than Ralph Macchio.
But the 6-4, 259-pound New York Jets' linebacker feels a bit like Macchio's "The Karate Kid" character in his first training camp. The rookie knows his place in the pecking order on the Jets' defense. So instead of looking at his relationship with Calvin Pace as a competitive one, Mauldin sees the starter as a mentor like Mr. Miyagi.
"It is not competitive because I am a pup still," Mauldin said. "I am still learning. It is like (Pace is the) sensei and (I am) Daniel-san. Just basically taking all that information from him and hopefully later on down the line when his career is over, I can just take his place."
During the spring workouts, Mauldin might've felt like he was trying to beat the "Cobra Kai" all by himself. But now he feels like he's moving faster than he did in the spring and that could be trouble for opposing offensive lines in the future.
The Jets' rookie could be seen on Tuesday in practice relentlessly rushing the quarterback from his outside linebacker position with a vigor that has caught head coach Todd Bowles' attention.
Part of that has to do with the fact that the rookie is learning the defensive playbook. The third-round pick out of Louisville is also figuring out his role a bit more.
Bowles has liked the energy he has seen from the second-team linebacker. But Mauldin has plenty of room for improvement.
"He's got a high motor," Bowles said. "You like the kid's motor and he's got some good pass-rush moves. But he has to learn the overall game. He is pretty young that way."
The linebacker had his share of learning moments in his preseason debut when he missed on a sure sack on one play before later drawing a roughing the passer penalty on another in the first half against Detroit.
"Made a couple of mistakes but that was my first game so I had to get the jitters out," Mauldin said. "I look forward to the next game against the Falcons and doing better than I did that last game."
Mauldin knows his role can grow the more he learns the playbook and the more he learns from Pace.
"If I know what I am doing, I play a lot more," Mauldin added of his knowledge of the Jets' scheme. "But if I don't, I will be a situational pass-rusher, so I've heard. Just being able to understand what I am doing when I go out there, that will determine my playing time."

Anyone have any week 1 updates for Mauldin??
Bowles was asked about that last night and offered no definitive opinion either way, said he's running but we have to see how it progresses as the week moves along. It sounded like he thinks Mauldin will play, but he's not sure yet.
IMO this is Coples last season with the Jets no matter what. It's a contract hear and if he blows up and has that huge season everyone is hoping for the. We won't be able to afford him.
If he is just average then they won't want to resign him. He will be replaced.

That would have left out Cumar..LOL
