Jets unofficial depth chart released (1 Viewer)

[Chase Stuart]

"I know the alphabetical depth chart raised a few eyebrows, so we do have an unofficial depth chart," Mangini said. "I think Ron (Ron Colangelo, Jets VP of Public Relations) did a pretty good job of it."

Anthony Clement is in at RT over Adrian Jones, a mild surprise.

Jerricho Cotchery is in at WR over Justin McCareins, another mild surprise.

Blaylock and Askew in the backfield.

Jets open with a 4-3. A young but exciting backfield -- Justin Miller, Kerry Rhodes, Erik Coleman and Andre Dyson.

Hasnt this been the case during the preseason?

Askew was a given - IMHO.Blaylock, after Barlow didn't really get any true gametime experience, is not really a big deal. The entire RB situation in NY will be a mess all year unless someone really steps up and makes a name for himself. The "starter" or "#1 on the depth charts" doesn't mean anything as I think they will all be substituted in the games eventually. I wouldn't start any of them week 1.McCareins has not impressed - why not give Cotchery a chance. But that one is a fan talking. No FFL start here anyway.

I'm not sure who were the official starters (I think Dwight started one game) but yes, the players that looked better in camp/pre-season are the starters. I wrote mild surprise because they were backups going into TC.Of course, I've been on the anti-McCareins bandwagon for awhile now.

Chase,

dropoff from Sowell to Askew?

I read Mangini will use all 3 backs. Can you predict the carry #s per back?

Would you prefer one RB to get the lion's share regardless who it is?

You used to be a Chad fan probably pre-surgery. How do you feel about him now?

4-3 just starting off the game with 3-4 woven into the gameplan?

For what it's worth (and it's probably not much), the Jets have had a very good history at the FB position. From 1990-1993, Brad Baxter rushed for 30 TDs and had 500+ rushing yards each season.From 1994-2002, Richie Anderson was the main FB and was a serviceable runner, good run blocker, strong pass blocker and a great receiver.From 2003-2005, Sowell's been pretty darn good with 120 receptions, excellent special teams work and a good blocker in both the running and passing games.Askew's not as polished a blocker, but is definitely a better runner. I wouldn't be surprised if he becomes a good blocker, but he's got big shoes to fill.I can't predict the carry #s per back. I maintain that Blaylock's the best RB of the bunch. Unlike most, I don't discount his excellent work in KC. I think I prefer a RBBC though, because each RB brings special skills to the table. If Blaylock breaks out though, it wouldn't shock me.I'm still a Pennington fan. Jets have a great record with him, and a miserable one without him.

Dont believe Mangini is going to reveal his defensive cards. I bet they are in a 3-4

McCareins is brutal - definitely a major disappointment ever since he arrived. While Cotchery has caught Mangini's eye, it's as much McCareins' lack of conditioning that gave Jerricho the opportunity.

In recent years, the Jets have liked to throw to the FB in "and goal" situations and also in other short yardage situations. Now that there is a new staff in place, I am not sure that will be the case. I think we have to see a few games and see how Mangini will call the games...

 

[Bri]

has anyone grabbed Brad Smith in a draft? If so what round and what do you expect, if anything, from him?

Also, thoughts on Hilton+Baker now?

 

[Rovers]

The 4-3 D depth chart is funny. Good for Bryan Thomas owners, since he is a rush LB/DE, losted asa 4-3 DE, but is truely an OLB. This chart was generated by the Jets media department.... it just doesn't mean too much. The Jets run a base 3-4.... I'd even be hard pressed to call it a hybrid.

It does catch a couple of things, like Cotchey over McCariens, but the RB part means nothing. Note Barrett is starting over Miller.... and the chart says Miller is the starter. PR for the NY area writers that keep whining about not having a depth chart, mostly. Now they have one.... and can sit behind their keyboards and type, instead of getting accurate info like real sports writers. Of course, they will complain it isn't an "official" depth chart. Even if Mangini generated it, it's so subject to change at many key positions that even that would have minimal value.

Glad I've kept him in 2 leagues!!

Who has more fantasy upside this season? Blaylock or Barlow? And will either one of them be better than Ducket? *looking to dump some dead weight off my roster before the weekend*

Is this really dancing pickle worthy?

Is barlow #3 then? I'd love to snag him while his value his low, but I don't want to get burned by him again.

taking a flier on an RB4 or 5 and it not working out isn't really "getting burned".

 

[Rovers]

I'm not sure why anyone is surprised about Cotchery and Clement starting.... they started game 3 of the preseason, and the Cotchery news is at least 3 weeks old.

I suggested in several other threads that Barlow may not get much playing time in week 1, as it sounds like he is still learning the offense. I do expect to see him start at some point....perhaps as early as week 2, if Blaylock plays poorly. For week 1, Houston just may be the #2.... all very subject to change.

I'd say Cotchery's work ethic has given him "the opportunity".

Barlow's value has always been low. His price has varied.

who would want that?,,,better get used to feeling extra crispy because to field a championship caliber team you're probably going to get burned a few times by FA's before you get lucky. The harder you work and the more active you are at working the waiver wire and picking up free agents the better your chances for success. Sorry if I'm preaching to the choir but if you're not willing to get burned then you better have a damn good draft, play with a bunch of idiots and hope to have good luck along the way.
