the reports out of baltimore & philly thankfully were accurate.. our new guy is well schooled & is showing the job isn't too big for him..

If I'm not mistaken our good drafting plus the signing of any of these undrafted free agents puts us over the roster limit. I'm not sure but I think so and that would mean the Jets will have to make some immediate cuts to accommodate these guys. Got to wonder who will be chopped. I can't remember what the roster limit is but we must be close. Maybe one of you guys has a handle on that detail.
right now it is 90, but because of this Covid-19 teams aren't able to bring in players for season ending physicals so there are exceptions until that is allowed then teams will have to make roster moves to get to a 90 man roster or under if they want to claim other players...

Thanks. I thought as much so it shouldn't be long until we start seeing the cuts. Any one care to guess who gets the axe ?

I really had hopes for Macc, especially after Idzik. But he disappointed me. He really lost me when he devalued the offensive line.

the offensive line is better, and has some developmental options that could end up making the roster because of the free agent signings we had... Drafting both Becton & Clark could end up being the left side for years both are athletic but raw... Becton is powerful but Clark is fluid would make up a dominate combo on the left side while seeing Wilbers possibly kicking inside to the right guard spot, jury still out on Edoga and there is no threat of need with the center position having a 26 year old young vet holding down the line calls..

expect Brian Winters to be shopped but could end up sticking around until preseason because of his work ethic and drive not so much the durability issues he has had hinder his cause but along with Van Roten, Andrews and Fant the Jets have stability and potential finally on the line...

I’m hoping that if Gase sucks again this year that the personal relationship between him and JD doesn’t keep him here longer than it should.

I did. Todd Bowles was a very good DC. He didn't pan out as a HC. I own that I gave him more leeway than he might have deserved because he was such a good candidate when he got the job.

I don't see Douglas letting his emotions get in the way.

That said, two points might be worth making here:

1. Having a GM and HC with really good chemistry is vitally important, and it's something the Jets have lacked in some time.

2. Gase may be looked at as not the guy who gets us to the SB, but rather the guy who develops the franchise QB who will get us to the SB. In other words, if Gase makes Sam legit, but the team is not a legit SB contender, the Jets HC job looks very enticing for an elite HC who would want to come in and lead the team to a title. Gase may not be looked at as a potential SB winner, but his job in the process is still important.

I like what I see so far. I wanted to grab Macc by the face and scream "IT'S THE OL STUPID" with the moves he made and Idzick is a memory I'm not willing to revisit. Going forward now we will focus on Gase and his performance. I hope the guy can step it up and get some results on the field. I wasn't a fan of his hiring and wanted a certain coach from Baylor but here We are. Anyway things look to be progressing. I want to see it on the field.
