Former 2nd round pick of the Saints. Started 14 games in 2013, was a back up and played two games for the Giants last season.

This was a bottom of the roster move - a huge upgrade from Hooey who had no chance to win a roster spot to Brown, an NFL veteran with starting experience. Brown might not make the team, but he's certainly going to do more to push the ones who eventually do than Hooey would have

Who doesn't? The OL could easily be the very downfall of the offense this season. Way too much area for concern.

Well, we know where all the blame will fall regardless, see last season with the same garbage oline...3 of the 5 were garbage last year now we are down to 2 of the 5...

This guy seems like the second coming of Vladimir Ducasse. Just another hoax taken way too high by a team. If I investigated this further, I am sure I would find that when the Saints took him they anticipated him being the heir apparent to one of their tackle spots. That didn't work. So they tried him at Guard probably? That didn't work. So they tried him at blocking TE? He failed at that.

Then, the Saints kind of fumbled around playing him in certain spots delaying their eventual retreat from him altogether.

Sounds just like Vlad Ducasse story. Like watching a re-run?

Let me save everyone the suspense. This guy has been on 3 teams in a very short career for a reason. He will not last here either. Likely will not even make the team. The Jets have plenty of backup OL and that is all this guy could possibly hope for.

I like the idea that Bowles knows that the OL needs talent. It just acknowledges to us that he knows where the problem areas are on this team just like we do. Unfortunately, Brown is never going to be the answer. The OL will likely get fixed in future drafts NOT by signing someone else's trash.

The Jets replaced a camp fodder OL player with a marginally better camp fodder guy


There hasn't been even a single semi meaningful snap yet

Yet the sky is falling in Maine and other overreacting precincts at JFU

Why is it always your instant reaction to retaliate in words? Honestly, why?

Is it because the Jets picked up Charlie Brown that now suddenly every coaching staff was a bunch of bumbling retards that could never get through to Brown? That could never even make him realize a fraction of his draft status?

Or is it because you are a such a green glasses wearing fan that you cannot realize any sort of truth from another team or fan?

Look, I am going to attempt to put this post into your warm, fuzzy, politically correct language.....

Charlie Brown is a really, really, really, swell guy and an awesome talent. His athletic ability is straight out of a Tarzan flict. Unfortunately, NO coaching staff has ever been able to tap into a that massive athletic ability that he shows.

However, the Saints and Giants are a bunch of idiots that wouldn't know the first thing about coaching. They are cheating, bottom feeding organizations in comparison to the Jets. If anyone can turn Brown into the legendary talent he is, it is the Jets hall of fame coaching staff.

And just so you know in advance, if Brown turns out to be bum again? It is NOT Brown's or the Jets fault. The most likely culprits that led to his demise are the Saints, Giants, and Mainejet for calling him out for lackluster play and messing up his very fragile little mind. He needed more milk and cookies and Mainejet stole them from him.

Does that make you feel better? Did I just say that in terms that won't make you want to reach through your wireless router and into Mainejets living room and rip his head off? Because either way what you are looking at is another player on his 3rd team in a short career that has not managed to reach even .00001 of his draft status.

Well, he had an open tryout regardless of previous teams and coaching staffs. This staff looked at him 3 days and wants to see more. Why does this have to be more than that? Did someone already post if he is PS eligible? It would be nice to stash him for depth purposes, but in all honesty, who do we really have behind Brick and Breno? I don't even know to be honest. I think I've read this guy has started 22 games in the NFL already...well, I'd guess that's more than the people currently behind brick and Breno since I don't even know those player's names...I'm guessing he is an insurance policy and in the running for #3 or 4 OT...one with battle scars and has done it before. At least it's gaily and his staff poking and prodding and determining scheme fit, and they want to see more...give the kid the preseason to show coaches what he's got. If a kid beats him out, fine, he gets cut. People are talking like we signed him to replace Brick. We signed him to see if he solves a depth issue...I don't see a reason to bitch about checking for depth...

Only thing that matters right now in June is whether he is better than Sean Hooey, the guy they cut to make room for Brown. It will not impact our ability to go after Mathis if we are so inclined - since Brown is likely being paid peanuts (no pun intended - well OK maybe it was intended) likely the vet minimum.

Behind Brick and Breno, in addition to Brown we have guys like Ben Ijalana & James Brewer. Adding Brown to the mix is not necessarily a bad thing. It may not turn out to be a good thing either, but I don't see it as a move worth complaining about.

Here is my quick response,.Maine, to your latest long winded diatribe of hate and name calling.

Yes,.unlike you, I am a Jet fan and wear green glasses

Unlike you, I haven't written off the season, the coaching staff and virtually all the players as BUMS and BUSTS.

As for the rest, NO COMMENT
