Aboushi getting first team reps today. Maybe they are coming to their senses

I read that Carpenter tweaked a knee. Nothing serious, but probably explains why Aboushi's in there.

 

[Bronx]

Yes, but he's not playing third team, like he was all camp. He didn't move up to second team

Yup, looks like he may have passed Dozier on the depth chart. I can live with Aboushi as a back-up, not sure about him as a starter though.

 

[Sarge]

Aboushi, Dozier, and Ijalana are more versatile than Winters, who might be the odd man out

 

[Sarge]

Jets sign TE Matt LaCosse and waive / injured DL Devin Walls

ANALYSIS

STRENGTHS Smooth release from the line and gets into routes quickly. Good play speed inside his routes with ability to get on top of safeties quickly when he's asked to threaten on third level. Sinks hips into breaks and accelerates into cuts. Can go low and make the tough catch with soft mitts. Used in-line and from wing spot, but was lined up outside in his last regular season game. Willing to fight and sustain when asked to square up as in-line blocker. Block technique needs work, but he has ability to get better.

WEAKNESSES Tall, angular frame with more meat needed through his lower body. Unable to generate push as a drive blocker and gets rocked from his spot by bull rushers when asked to single-up on them. Tested out at 20 reps, but needs more core strength. Sluggish to release into routes against jams and can be knocked well off course. Played in less than 50 percent of the snaps over last two seasons and had just 38 catches for his career. Needs more fluidity in routes and also needs to stop giving them away with early lean.
DRAFT PROJECTION Round 7 or priority free agent

NFL COMPARISON Arthur Lynch

BOTTOM LINE With a long frame and good speed, LaCosse has the tools to work with for teams looking for a tight end who can stretch the field or stress linebackers in one-on-one matchups. His lack of college production will limit the number of team radars he hits, but he has enough talent to warrant a legitimate look and his ability to play special teams should help his chances.
