Drew Wasowicz

@bjfmangoldhof2 For sure. The average NBA measurables are like Calvin Johnson, an all time freak in the NFL, and every team is full of dudes like that. As well as being insanely skillful

@CoachDrewWaz Yeah - Ziggy Ansah started playing football in 2010 and was a first round pick in 2013. That's not happening in basketball lol

The New York Jets just ended with our favorite draft class we have ever graded.

Summing up the Jets draft class so far: David Bailey (our #1 prospect) Kenyon Sadiq (our #10 prospect) Omar Cooper Jr. (our #8 prospect) D’Angelo Ponds (our #3 prospect) Already one of the best draft classes we have seen in the last 7 years.

@Willpa11 Im liking it man

Garrett, Cooper, AD, Breece, Mason, Sadiq

@Willpa11 Players become bad all of a sudden when the Jets draft them apparently. If we drafted Reese people would be mad for taking a project. I just wish these players the best and hope they succeed for us

Bailey, Sadiq, Cooper in a vacuum is a really nice haul

@bjfmangoldhof2 Cautiously optimistic. I liked both players while watching them. As long as they are good then I could care less about value and what not. We just need good players

Bailey & Sadiq. How we feeling?

@Willpa11 Hard to feel bad even if he wasnt my first choice. Every time I watched Bailey he jumped out at me. Interesting to see how we utilize him and WMD. Does WMD get moved to a DPR role? I think concerns of the Jets run D is silly with all the other additions we made this off season.

Jets fans how do you feel?

@NYJetsToday_ Not my favorite choice but I think the fans who are really really negative about this are being silly. Explosive pass rusher with great production and a good DL coach that could help clean up his weaknesses. Solid chance he's a good player for us

I do feel like David Bailey does give the Jets a better chance to create turnovers right away.

@bjfmangoldhof2 "And with the 2nd pick the NYJ draft Rueben Bain Jr" and we all lived happily ever after

"emerged"

@Playlikeajet1 @Jimetrics Great comp. Haven't seen this one yet but it makes so much sense. Too many people are over complicating his role but it doesnt need to be.

Everybody keeps debating if Arvell Reese is the next Micah Parsons, but as @Jimetrics said, maybe he’s “Mr Unlimited” Clay Matthews Jr. Could play inside or outside. Drop back in coverage. Defend the run. Rush the QB. 91 career sacks, 44 PDs. 2 time all pro, 6 time pro bowler.

Speed Racer limited Theatrical re-release in April and new 4K dropping 5/19 I'm genuinely excited to see the film again on IMAX

@RobbySabo Good point those body types do hint at them leaning into that Odd front philosophy. I didn't like watching Wilks live and die out of making his interior play Gap 1/2 especially without Quinnen. It was nice to see them at least try a bit harder to be less predictable later in szn

We saw a little more read-react and odd-front tinkering post-Wilks this past season, and man, the Sweat and Onyemata acquisitions just scream it. Also, the fact that their top four IDLs are all 300+ also screams it. If it were still 4-3 at heart, they're now forcing a 300+ dude at the 3-tech (not just the starter, but at least two deep). Idk, man, that's a hell of a thing.

They'll absolutely still use 4-down fronts (like every so-called 3-4 team these days), but it's more of a *mindset* overhaul — how the front is utilized, i.e., how they're taught to key in on reads, eat space, maintain balance (gap integrity), and take on blocks (as opposed to the top priority that is getting downhill, which is a Saleh gospel). Let's put it this way: Each of the Jets' IDLs is over 300 pounds. This includes the 0-tech nose tackles (Sweat) and the 3-4 defensive ends (Onyemata, Briggs, Phillips, etc.). Yes, Glenn will absolutely deploy 4-down fronts (like every 3-4 team, as it's just the nature of today's game, i.e. 11 personnel and subpackage-specific stuff to get to the passer), BUT if Bain cannot play IDL within the 3-4 (which, at 263, I don't see how he can), there's no place for him. And if there is a place for him, it must be CREATED by the coach, which eliminates all versatility. Think Micheal Clemons in Saleh's 4-3, or even last year. What did the Jets have him do often? Slant inside/crash, and have somebody replace off the EDGE (gap exchange, scrape, etc.). Why? Because he's a disaster as an EDGE in space; just not quick enough. While Bain is the much better player, he falls in that type of tweener position world at the NFL level (IMO). You lose a lot of versatility, which hurts the game-planning/scheming ceiling. If he were 280+, I'd love him a lot more.

@RobbySabo If Bain's play in space is as bad you think it is, then I agree it could absolutely lead to him getting picked on in that way. I also think the lack of length doesn't fit on paper with typical odd spacing requirements of an edge in 4down or 3down. Even tho he has the strength

Based on your comment (it's tremendous), you already know the deal: it's gonna be hybrid. Just no way around it these days. Yeah, it could absolutely be a ton of 4-down stuff. But even still, does that then limit Bain to only subpackage? There are obviously a lot of ways to get Bain on the field in base (even if react-attack is their gospel), but if the EDGE has issues in space (which Bain does, IMO), that instantaneously limits things that can be done. So even in a hypotethical world where they play 4-3, it's still more limited with Bain at EDGE, no? If he can't track the flat in an up-to-snuff way (against modern offensive principles), the OC goes to town on that idea. The DC then has to get him crashing/slanting, replacing him. It significantly lowers the flexibility/game-planning ceiling. ... that is UNLESS he can also play inside (in base). If that were the case, he raises that ceiling (imo).

@DTereman I think the general fan needs to be educated about how little these drills actually translate to on field performance lol. Its almost a complete waste of time to even consider this in an evaluation good or bad

I need a breakdown on this the same way Reese got yesterday 😂 The draft discourse is so chopped

@RobbySabo 2/2 certainly as you said could mostly be a structural/philosophical identity leaning more into techniques and spacing not so much pre snap alignment. But have i missed any information that suggests he'll wholesale commit to odd fronts where that presnap alignment may matter more

@RobbySabo (1/2). My question is why are we so sure he'll call odd fronts at a high enough clip? His odd front stuff in DET was largely out of 4down personnel and was called a good amount but not overly so. Obviously subpackage stuff is mostly 4 down as you said with some notable exceptions

@bjfmangoldhof2 I watched too much DET def all22 to see what Glenn likes to do b4 last year. Just for it to be a Wilks/Saleh hybrid with no identity. Glenn called only a handful of odd front in DET and they were basically all ran from 4 down personnel anyways. He could completely change it guess

@adaptingskill I think a lot of athletes feel this intuitively but ive seen plenty of coaches looking for a full lockout. Why do u think that is? Just lack of information?

triple extension paradox. triple extension guarantees power thru contact. However, TRUE triple extension means your hips are locked out and youre unable to quickly generate force quickly if the rep continues contact is messy and there is a lot of rotation at play. stay loaded

@bjfmangoldhof2 I can't get over Bain either. I want to like Reese more but the more I watch Bain I'm like - just do it and deal with the arm length jokes
