Between 0:50 and 1:05 he's talking about Woody:
Eric Allen did the right thing in my view
- Thread starter Green Jets & Ham
- Start date
It's amazing to me how anyone could take public comments this time of year seriously. Not only that, but to go completely bananas over them too.
I'm not going bananas over it, I'm just having some fun with it, but this kind of humor doesn't translate well over the internet. Generally speaking I do think he should keep quite about our opinions of any particular prospects, unless its subterfuge, but its not like he blew the whistle on who we are really targeting at 6 so its not fatal.

I think cooper is the best player in this draft and we should draft him no matter what if he falls to us. With him in the slot stretching the field, Geno will look a lot better
Cooper also seems like to be a very good kid.....
Completely bananas?
Hmmm, because what Woody said before free agency about Revis was left field; as in his indirect way of implying if Revis became a free agent, we'd love to have him back...and as soon as he did, blam, he's a Jet.
But Woody saying what he did about mariota probably means nothing...just like what he said about Revis...
You're probably right...
This.
Everyone saying "we have to take a QB here" needs to qualify that statement with "if they like one". You go to Lowe's for kitchen cabinets, you don't like their shitty cabinets, you buy their pricier cabinets anyway, just because you need cabinets?
This too. Unless MaccBowles have trained Woody, this is more of the same BS that's been going on for years. "I just want him gone".

Yeah, your point regarding QB's is well taken. It smacks of desperation from many of the posters here who are in the majority of either being so enraged with Geno and as a default feel the team MUST get a QB. And those same posters are slowly realizing that the Jets won't get Mariota so they turn their attention towards just getting anyone because they think anyone is better than Geno.
I think the writing has been on the wall since the Jets won against TEN and MIA that we'd be stuck with Geno for another year.
And I'm with you, don't simply take a QB just to take one unless you feel strongly about that prospect. I've watched all of them and don't like any except Petty a little bit but he'd require a 3rd rounder and to me, shows nothing more than what we have in Geno.
I'm good with Cooper, White or one of the top LBs. I'm thinking LB would be better at this point. Jets did so much in FA, covered secondary, WR spot and even addressed o-line a little bit but not LB. Plus I believe Marshall has 3-4 years left of top-notch #1 WR play in him. WR can be addressed in the second or third rounds. If they do draft Cooper or White I'm good with it.
That's kinda where I am with this also, although I am leaning Edge/OLB because the depth is greater at WR and we should be able to get a good one at #37 .

100% agree. Spot on.
I'm not sure White can play in the slot? He seems to be a more Classic outside receiver. His routes are not sudden enough or crisp enough to play the slot like Cooper can. IMO

I don't see the Titans drafting Mariota or the Raiders passing on Cooper. Maybe someone trade up for Mariota but I doubt it and he could be there when we pick. I really don't want White or any of the OLB at 6 but would take Beasley over White in that spot.
I don't think there's a slot cb in the league that matches up well with his size, speed, strength, and vertical....
I also think you can move him and Decker around a lot and make it work. Decker in Denver motioned into the slot a lot.
That's kinda why I think the Raiders snag Cooper, he's more polished. As for us grabbing White, I think Marshall may be 1 and done for us.
I don't understand why everyone is saying that Titans have no interest in Mariota because they have Mettenberger. Mettenberger was injured coming into his rookie season and finished the season injured, and didn't play all that great when he did play. If Mariota is in fact the real deal, there is no way that the Titans or the Bucs for that matter should pass on him.
Even if Marshall is playing for the Jets for the next two years, it makes sense that we have a potential #1 WR on the roster being developed. I think Cooper or White are luxury picks at #6 that we cannot afford at this stage of our rebuild. A more pressing need IMO is a dynamic edge guy, and we have our pick of the litter at #6 . As 55 mentioned earlier in this or another thread, the really good OLB/Edge types will be gone by #37 pick. However, we should be able to get a very good WR at #37 , who can be developed to step in when Marshall hangs 'em up.
Holy crap...I'll take Mettenberger that didn't look good. I think the kid looked awesome. Does he need to work On Touch? Sure. But the kid went out there and attacked defenses. He has a rifle and pushes the ball down the field. He looked like a young Kerry Collins, Bledsoe, or Flacco. Is he a statue? Yep. But the kid can play. If Titans go QB, I'd see if Gaily like Mettenberger and offer a 2nd in a second if he does. Mettenberger can play right now and be successful, maybe a top 15 QB with our WRs and coaches. Mariota in 2 maybe 3 years from being able to play at a non-Geno to date capability. Let them take Mariota and dangle Mettenberger.
