Dee Milliner
- Thread starter cysporsche
- Start date
McDougle posted this on his Instagram about four weeks ago. He's looking good. I think by now he should be running these drills at a faster level.

Dex has a great opportunity, not to start right away but to learn and develop behind some very good players in a scheme that is tailored to CBs. IF he can stay healthy he will definitely contribute.
Mod's rather than let the original Milliner thread just fade away, at least merge it with the new one ! 3 good pages of post here.

It's a good thing he has a hood on, looked like some rough weather in there. And how did he keep that on?

The best part of Revis, Cro, Dee, Dex and Williams is that the Kyle Wilson error will finally be over
Give me a break Dude, just about all the Jet fans crucified Cromartie from the day he arrived the first time. He goes to Arizona and we all miss him. And IMO, Milliner has had a lot more good games then the 4 many on this board are giving him credit for. Cromartie's best days are behind him, while Milliner's are in front of him.

Milliner is going to make some plays as our dime corner this season...maybe we will see him blitz some in Bowles scheme.
Jets do not believe Milliner will be ready for week 1:
Dee Milliner - DB - Jets
Jets GM Mike Maccagnan wouldn't guarantee CB Dee Milliner (Achilles') being ready for the start of the season.
Milliner tore his Achilles' in October and may start the season on reserve/PUP, sidelining him the first six weeks. The former No. 9 overall pick has a lengthy injury history and will be behind the eight ball trying to learn coach Todd Bowles' new defense. Milliner is no higher than the No. 4 corner on the depth chart.

Good article in Newsday on Millener.... http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/jets/jets-looking-forward-to-dee-milliner-s-return-1.10082869
Cy,
were you watching the prior 10 games Milliner played in before his "4 game Breakout"? He was terrible. He bit on double moves and was playing "catch up" constantly. Even in his 2 interception game against Miami, he was cooked by Wallace for 1 TD, and was damn near cooked by Hartline on another (overthrown pass). I didnt see anything in Milliner that would make me think he is remotely close to a #2 corner (let alone a #1 ). To me, he just doesnt have a feel for the position at this level. (just like Wilson never has a feel for the position). Maybe I'm wrong (and I hope I am), but Milliner may not be the 5th best corner on this team......

He has a feel, he has shown that. He didn't show he could be Revis coming out of college in Rex's system. I sure hope we don't trade him for a futur mid round hopeful. I hope no one is counting McDougle as anything but a hopeful...last time he played a full year was his 2nd college year.
Man, some of you guy's are real negative, not only about Milliner, but everything about the Jets. I know and feel things are turning around for the Jets and I'm excited; however, some of you guy's bring me down with your negativity. Here are a few things to feel good about:
1) The team MOJO is back. With Fireman Ed coming back to lead the J E T S>Jets..Jets...Jets...
2) When Revis is introduced coming out of the tunnel.
3) Good addition of Marshall @ WR & maybe Cooper.
4) Cro-Daddy is back & the Browns hated to lose Skeens.
5) Geno has competition with a Harvard Grad who rarely makes mistakes, will also help Geno progress. I still think Geno is our starter.
6) We have numerous CB's & safeties, which should help Milliner & McDougle recover 100%.
7) Great new GM, & Coach Bowles & crew.
8) Solid RB's & FB (T-Bo)
9) Steller DL & OLB @ 6 ? Or Eli Harold OLB @ 37 ?
10) We own the 6,37 & 70 picks in the first 3 rounds. See how easy that is to think of 10 good things ?

Sorry Cy I do not agree or recollect that. What we did say was that he was soft... but could cover. His time with Revis he was very good and Rex play him with a BAD hip flexor... last year he play well and to say Millner had more the 4 good games is a stretch... maybe we were watching a different player (?) when he was constantly beat and out of position his r-year; thus, his benching multiple times.

Great post Cy....nice to start seeing signs of Jet fans united again in support of their front office, coaching staff and players after all the toxic divisiveness and internecine negativity of the past 4 years
Yea and didn't Sanchez have the record before geno? 4-2 in the playoffs with the most cone from behind wins.
Stats in fluff time don't matter, the most comebacks in an 8-8 season and a 4-12 season? Stats need context.
Want he ranked as the worst qb in the nfl among the 32 starters?
My instincts are that geno can practice hard and sneak up with a good game, but as a long term starter, defenses would easily plan for him. I also believe in open competition and his right to prove me wrong.
I think we are in great shape overall, and am very confident in management's decisions.
I also know with a strong d, our qb's won't have to feel pressured into putting the team on their shoulders, which should eliminate some stupid throws.

Good point. After 4 years playing a shotgun spread offense, his first 20+ games he doesn't look like Aaron Rodgers, or even Big Ben, we should give up on him. I agree. He had the month of December, a 5 week stretch, his rookie year where he was the highest rated QB after only Peyton Manning and after returning to the line-up after being benched last year he was the 7th ranked QB in the NFL...
...but it's been two season, cut him and move on. For those who feel this way, dont draft Mariota, who also spent years in a spread offense out of shotgun, because we'll need to cut him in 2 years also, because if Mariota had to go 2 season with Stephen Hill, Kerley, David Nelson, Jeff Cumberland, and Decker with a pulled hamstring...we'd have another failed developed QB and Mariota isn't likely to performe at a Manning's level like Geno did while playing with Cumberland, Nelson, Hill, and Kerley...which is what Geno was working with. Yep, cut the kid for outplaying Brady with those weapons. He's shown nothing. Good point.
I don't know exactly who you're responding to. You just said yup cut him close to 10 times. I never said cut him, in fact if you read my post directly above this post you would know that. But your assertion that he had greatness and just needs more coaching, I disagree with. And by your logic of come from behind wins, Sanchez should still be our starter.
It's only my opinion based on what I've seen, and as I said he has the opportunity to prove me wrong.
The point of this board is not to over dramatize people with different opinions but to post and have rebuttals.
