It's simply not a big deal, that's all. It shouldn't even be news. You are just whining and complaining! McKnight was NOT getting reps at RB AS IS, so tell me the harm in switching him. Where does this hurt us, exactly? Stop pretending as if moving players around is the end of the world. That's what smart coaches do. They put their players in the best positions to succeed. If it doesn't work, then what are the consequences? OMG our running game is now ruined!!! :lol: Were you this up in arms when Branden Moore was moved from defense to the oline? It clearly wasn't working at RB for McKnight, this can't hurt at all. Unlodge that stick from out of your ass already. It's not a big deal. What part of low risk, high reward do you not understand? Too many damn drama queens on here.
McKnight had 3 picks I'm practice today. I guess we will be seeing a McKnight island? Lol I have a feeling that he'll be a pretty good CB tho.
I simply don't understand why you can't or chose not to get this. What's the big deal?? WE JUST LOST OUR ALL WORLD CB AND NEED DEPTH behind our questionable former first round pick, questionable nickle, and QUESTIONABLE dime. Why is this so hard for you? We've done nothing to provide solid insurance at the CB position following the Revis injury. This appears to indicate that the Jets aren't going to sign a guy who, oh, I don't know, actually plays CB. Are you really that big of a homer hat you refuse or are not capable of seeing this as a WTF situation at present? If the Jets sign a capable depth player that has actually played CB then fine this move is perfectly ok. But as of now, we are in potentially serious trouble at CB outside of Antonio Cromartie. Brandon Moore was moved from defense to O-Line over the course of an offseason. He spent time on the PS and got experience overseas before seeing NFL action. If it works out then AWESOME. But there is a bigger risk at hand here then you seem to be capable of seeing. I really have nothing more to say. I can't possibly repeat myself in different words anymore. Like I've stated numerous times. I hope it works out!!! I'm opposed to the move in principle, but I'm opposed to it's timing. If I'm wrong I'll be thrilled.
CB has been the biggest strength and deepest unit on this team for years. What are you talking about? You haven't answered my question. WHAT IS THE HARM? What aspect of our team does this move hurt? Good luck answering that. You'll probably just repeat yourself again and ignore that. Maybe you should pay better attention. The Jets signed a CB last week and are bringing in Carr (another CB) for a workout this week. Don't insult me when your knowledge of this team and their moves is abysmal. McKnight isn't the only option LOL. We have quite a few. WHAT IS THE RISK? Don't just tell me there's a risk that I can't see. Just fucking say it. How does this specifically hurt the team? Don't ignore it again. Lay out the "bigger risk" that I am incapable of seeing or kindly shut the hell up. Thanks. You over reacted. Admit it and we'll move on.
Are you incapable of reading? I just explained the harm above, within the present situation and the depth on the roster. Do you want me to put a presentation together for you with cool animations and bullet points? CB has been the biggest strength for years because we happened to have someone named Darrelle Revis. I heard he's pretty good. Take Revis away and we are left with some potential issues. Yes I don't pay attention. Have no idea what I'm saying. Don't insult my intelligence with your childish idiocy. The Jets promoted Fletcher prior to anything occurring. If they end up signing Carr, then this whole issue for me is totally negated. Hope they do. See post above explaining the situation and at present why it's a risk. I'm simply not typing it again, BC you are apparently incapable of reading. If the Jets end up signing a CB then great, I'll be happy to move on. As I've said, about 10 times, which is the only thing I'll repeat for you is that the Jets CURRENTLY have McKnight providing depth at a current position which requires depth. If Carr is signed, then great no issue. If McKnight works out then great, no issue. But at present, it's a concern. None of your snide attempts at humor or insults will change that.
It only hurts if he actually plays. Go listen to Ryan's PC today, McKnight doesn't even know the basic language of defensive play calling. Put him on the field and you have a disaster but I don't think anybody disputes that.
Fuck Guiding Light, we have our own soap opera with you two clowns. Seriously, I love good banter but you two are acting like little school girls comparing your first periods. god damn! Do Cro and WIlson need to step up, yes Do Lancaster and Trufant need to seize the day? yes Could we benifit from adding Chris Carr (a CB by the way)? Yes, I can see this as a help Will having Joe McKnight out there learing another position (played it a few times for us last year and recorded a sack if I'm not mistaken) a small risk considering he isnt getting looks at RB (inability to block, and hold onto the ball?) I dont see a problem, but he is not the answer...
^You're right. There's no reason to even get into it with that guy. According to him this is a HUGE risk because of CB depth despite already adding one and bringing in another one for a workout. THIS HURTS OUR CB DEPTH. Okay, sure thing. It's just an over reaction and he won't admit it. Shit is hilarious.
adding a guy from the practice squad, and discussing a guy who hasn't even been signed yet is a pathetic argument. like i said, if the jets sign carr or bring in actual depth then this move is perfectly fine. but as of now it's not the case, whether you want to accept it or not...don't care..my life will go on with or without your useless acceptance of fact.
So your solution is to just trust every move the GM makes, because it's clear they never make mistakes, especially the Jets front office. You must be a big Wayne Hunter and Eric Smith fan.
McKnight is pretty upset that hes being asked to play a different position. I guess he expected his crap production and butterfingers to get him the starting RB job?
dunno about anyone else. but if I had the choice to play 4-5 plays a game or playing 20-30 I'd take the latter. and if the latter means switching. I'm doing that.
dont doubt any moves or show any concerns.. ...he has an overreaction pic....i've seen it....it hurt my feelings..i cried a little..
What makes you think a 5th string CB is going to take 20-30 snaps a game? Smith might not even have over 20 pass attempts if our run D continues to play the way it has. Joe was getting about 1 or 2 snaps a game as a RB, now he will get 1 or 2 snaps a game as a CB, not a big move at all.
Im pretty sure said knowitalls are tired of ppl defending every move our organization makes simply because they are the professionals and we arent. At some point, we all have to open our eyes and say "I know Im no expert, but some of the moves youre making are dumb as fuck". Not saying this one per se, but especially in the case of Tanny, we havent been on the positive side of the ledger in terms of personnel moves. Just sayin.
I was counting kick returns as touches. If the Jets are converting him for depth he will have to get time out there. If a guy goes down and he has no real game experience, it's going to be a long game. Also I should have elaborated on the 20-30 snaps. I should have said if my potential to get more game time is higher with converting and eventually becoming a starter I'm going that route. 20-30 is not realistic for the foreseeable future.
