This is a tough schedule, and he should be judged as such.

Kristian Dyer: I haven’t cleaned the grease off the grill from Memorial Day and we’re already talking about Rex’s Jets future. Is Rex Ryan going to be job hunting if the Jets fail to make the playoffs this season? He runs a good route, gets his hands up fast from his stride and he’s elusive. I liked Jalen Saunders as a pick and even more after rookie minicamp. Among the rookies, Shaq Evans wasn’t impressive on film and rookie minicamp didn’t change my impression of him. Jacoby Ford can be a game-changer and he has to be penciled in. In addition, I wouldn’t sleep on David Nelson after what was a good 2013 where he ran good routes and make the catches he was expected to make. Kristian Dyer: Hill certainly could be someone who takes the next step and can become a solid role player in the offense. As far as the wide receivers are concerned who do you see emerging behind Eric Decker and Jeremy Kerley? The Jets should see increased production out of the tight end position this year now that Jace Amaro is a Jet. He was on a good role at the beginning of the year and he should be able to build on that. While he’s injury prone, he showed progress last year and his dip in production during the middle part of the season was more about not being targeted than anything else. One thing he doesn’t get credit enough for last year is that he’s cut back on the drops significantly.
Hill gets a bad rep among Jets fans who expect more from him – and let’s be honest, he should be producing more. In addition, I was impressed with him last year in training camp as someone who can be a pass-catching threat. Powell was one of the better running backs in the first half of last season and while he isn’t a game-changer with elite speed and elusive moves, he is a solid back who usually generates positive yards. Kristian Dyer: Certainly not, but they should both earn spots in a true, open competition. Paterson is underrated and will play that way.ĭo you feel like Bilal Powell & Stephen Hill are guaranteed roster spots this season? His signing could be the best move of the offseason on the defensive side of the ball. Patterson can play on the outside which could let Kyle Wilson slide into the slot role. Keep in mind that general manager John Idzik has gambled with injury-prone players last year and got good returns from the likes of guard Willie Colon and running back Chris Ivory. Kristian Dyer: It seems like so far so good for Paterson, who I think can be a big impact for the Jets this year.

What is the health status for Dimitri Paterson? He missed a lot of games the past few seasons, but the Jets need him to be on the field since they passed on several big name CBs in free agency. There is a role for Pryor on this team but not as a leader. I’m always hesitant to anoint rookies as leaders. He told me that he loves to be competitive and talk trash – in fact he researches opponent wide receivers to better his trash talk. He can certainly talk and jaw with the best of them, and then the proverbial boom with his physical playing style. What he can be, however, is a voice in the secondary. Truthfully, Dawan Landry is the leader of the unit and with other voices on the defense such as the aforementioned Davis as well as the likes of Sheldon Richardson and Muhammad Wilkerson, Pryor doesn’t have to be a voice of the defense. Is Pryor ready to be a leader? Likely not. Kristian Dyer: Well, Rex Ryan has certainly elevated rookies to that level before, namely Demario Davis. Can a rookie come in to this locker room and be a vocal leader from day one? This is a crucial offseason for Coples and if he can fly around a bit more, it will help with his continued transition to playing linebacker.Ĭalvin Pryor was advertised as being vocal in rookie minicamp. This year with the knowledge that he will be playing standing up a bit more, he trimmed down in an effort to be more mobile. While that might not sound like a big deal, he came in thinking he’d play along the defensive line, and added size last offseason to accommodate his second-year playing with his hand in the dirt. Kristian Dyer: Last year, Coples didn’t find out definitively that he would be used at outside linebacker until training camp.
Sounds like an expanded role at outside linebacker this year. Just caught up with Coples, said he dropped 15 pounds this offseason.
