Stuckey (1 Viewer)

I'd say a decent trucker's gas station with terrible food and great Pecan logs.
Come on!!!! This is EXACTLY the kind of thing that takes away from the value of the Shark Pool. Why do people do this...Besides, I don't they serve food much anymore - pretty much paired with gas stations - originally they were Texaco's IIRC, but I haven't seen one of those for a long time...And you forgot to mention the pecan divinity!
 
Interesting long-term project. Has a bit of Deion Branch in him. Probably won't make any noise this season though.

 
came from a really small school, but really looked impressive in summer league. I have to say I was surprised that the Pistons took him over Young, but apparently they had given him an assurance that they would. I think that he'll be a solid player in the league. Upside would be a Wade-type player imo.

ANALYSIS

Positives: Has a well-built and developing frame, with muscular arms, a very tight abdomen and hips, split high with tapered muscles in the lower body … Built for speed, but has above-average power for his physique … Dangerous open-field runner with the valid speed to threaten the deep secondary … Smooth open-field runner with the explosive acceleration off the line to avoid the jam … Has that sudden burst needed to eat up the defensive back's cushion … Very tough competitor who plays with nice effort and will not hesitate to combat for the jump balls … Willing to cross over the middle and give up his body in order to get to the ball … Has the plant-and-drive agility crispness to get in and out of his cuts … Has no problems digesting a complicated playbook and is very alert to coverages and boundaries … Emotional leader who takes pride in his mentoring of the team's younger players … Spends countless hours in the film room and after practices preparing for his upcoming opponent … Runs with a short, pitter-patter style that lets him run up on a lethargic cornerback in an instant … If he gets a clean release off the snap, his explosion will get him into his route progression in an instant … Shows very sharp change-of-direction agility coming out of his breaks and uses his size well to fight off the jam … Does a good job of dropping his weight and sinking his hips to maintain acceleration in route progression … Has that second gear needed to consistently separate after the catch … Shows no concern for his body and knows how to reach and extend for the ball at its highest point … Runs nice short-area routes, doing a good job in attempts to uncover … His natural hands come into play with his over-the-shoulder grabs and on bubble screens … Has very good deep-ball skills, maintaining eye contact on the ball in flight … Has the body flexibility to get low for the shoestring catches (especially on screens) and does a great job timing his leaps for the jump ball … Runs good downfield routes and looks very comfortable attacking the deep zone … Excellent cut blocker who keeps his shoulders square and sinks his hips to attack the second-level defenders' lower body … Has a quick kick slide and uses his hand placement properly when blocking for the ground game … Has valid arm strength for the option pass and, with roster consideration, could effectively be an emergency quarterback … Demonstrates very good arm-over action to escape the press … His short stride lets him explode cleanly out of his breaks and is quick to gobble up the defender's cushion … Best on bubble screens, where he has the timing and elusive jump/skip moves to make the isolated tackler miss … Very effective at going low to scoop up the shoestring passes without having to break stride … Does a good job of breaking down in front of the defender in attempts to take his opponent down at the knees when cut blocking in the second level … His burst off the snap is evident when running slants, crossing routes and bubble screens, as he shows the shifty hip moves to change direction and elude … Runs at a good pad level, patiently following his blockers on reverses … Gets valid yardage after the catch and has the valid arm strength to execute the option pass.

Negatives: Has all the tools you look for in a playmaker, but needs to do it with more consistency (will throttle down at times when not involved in the play) … Will need to add more bulk to his frame to combat the physical cornerbacks at the next level, but he does not have much more room on his frame for that added weight without having to sacrifice some of his quickness … Has no flinch going over the middle, but sometimes eyes the defender too long, losing his concentration on the ball in flight … Despite his speed, he is not a valid returner, as he needs to show more patience waiting for his blocks to develop.

Compares To: Deion Branch, Seattle -- Both players rely on their exceptional speed to gain an instant advantage over a lethargic defender … Stuckey runs with a short pitter-patter style that lets him get a clean release with excellent explosion … He has been slow to recover from his broken foot suffered in 2006, resulting in mediocre performances during postseason action, but could be a nice second-day draft find, as he ranked with the elite at this position before his injury … Doctors expect him to be fully recovered by 2007 training camp.

 
For those who don't know who we are talking about:

Chansi Stuckey

drafted in round 7 by the Jets

"Here is the sleeper for the Jets this year.... Stuckey. He catches EVERYTHING thrown his way, and consistantly was the best WR in terms of getting seperation today. He looks a lot like S Moss, but without the built in magnet for the sidelines."

- Rover, July 30th

"I've also heard some hype for rookie WR James Jones, although I wasn't personally impressed with what little I saw of him. Aundrae Allison, Isaiah Stanback, and Chansi Stuckey are three lesser known rookie WRs who have the talent to impact."

- EBF, August 1st

Never seen the guy, don't know a thing about him. Interested in reading more though. :boxing:

 
For those of you not in the NY area, it was reported the other day that Stuckey was punished for being with Justin Miller back in May when Miller was arrested for assault. He was signed to a $24,000 signing bonus, instead of the standard $34,000 given to 7th round picks, which supposedly did not go over well around the league. Miller has not been disciplined.

I would say there are two conclusions that could be drawn: the Jets already have Stuckey flagged as a "character" concern, or Stuckey can use this as motivation to do well. He has incentives in his contract to earn back the money he was docked.

Between this and the Pete Kendall situation, where the Jets "accidentally" assigned him to the rookie dorms for the start of camp as retaliation for his contract dispute and outspoken attempts to get released or traded, there is some dissension in Jets camp. Something to watch out for.

Notes and Quotes from Camp

Posted by Bob Bullock July 30, 2007 9:22PM

Categories: Camp News

We have a few different stories that are taking shape at Jets camp so far. We all know about the Kendall deal, the Revis holdout, blah, blah, blah. I am tired of reading and hearing about both of them. I choose to write instead about developments ON the field over the first few days of training camp.

First, it is VERY clear that Chad Pennington is the key to the entire season for Gang Green. The backup quarterback situation is very shaky at best, with both Kellen Clemens and Tuiasosopo struggling through the first few practices. Brad Smith was thrown into the quarterback mix for a reason, that's for sure. Pennington has looked very sharp from all reports, which is very good news. We just have to hope he also stays healthy for the entire season.

"I'm excited to be out here with my teammates and play with the guys day in and day out," Pennington said. "I'm excited when I step off the field to be able to step into the film room and get better mentally instead of having to go immediately to the training room to focus on my shoulder. It's more of a bigger perspective for me now."

On the wide receiver front, the Jets look loaded at the position right now. That is another reason the team could afford to put Smith at quarterback. Coles and Cotchery are a dynamic duo for sure, as they proved last season. Justin McCareins has battled his way into the good graces of Eric Mangini and looks to be a key player at the third receiver spot. Add that to the fact that Chansi Stuckey has looked very sharp right from the start as a slot man and Gang Green has quite a nice group of wide outs. That doesn't even include Tim Dwight, Wallace Wright and Smith himself, who will still find some time to be in on several gadget plays during the year. I can't remember the team being this talented AND deep at this position in some time, if at all.

"I knew things were kind of up in the air and I wasn't sure how it was going to end up at the end of last season and during the offseason,'' Justin McCareins said. "I (now) know that Coach Mangini and the rest of the coaches see some value in me and I'm going to make the most of it.''

An interesting analysis of the Jets as camp begins can be found on FoxSports.com. Adam Schein writes his thoughts about Gang Green after his visit to camp last Friday. Schein knows the Jets have made improvements in key areas and believes the team will be in the playoff mix once again this season. Although he still feels that the Patriots are the team to beat in the AFC East. He also expects an even bigger season from Bryan Thomas. Schein also gives kudos to Mike Tannenbaum for locking up both Thomas and Jerricho Cotchery before the market exploded.

He also gives us this "nugget" about the offensive coordinator:

Brian Schottenheimer did a phenomenal job in his first go of it as a play caller. His no-huddle and "bubble huddle" put great pressure on the defense. And he'll have even more versatility with Jones in the mix.

Sorry I didn't thrill you with more garbage about Kendall or Revis, but I felt it was time to go in another direction!

QB Chad Pennington threw several nice deep balls. ... Rookie WR Chansi Stuckey, a seventh-round pick out of Clemson, has been impressive. ... RB Leon Washington (excused absence) returned to practice yesterday. ... QB/WR Brad Smith was named the MVP of the off-season program by Mangini.

Chansi encounter

Rookie receiver Chansi Stuckey from Clemson is starting to look like a seventh-round steal with his speed and hands, though Mangini said there are still rough edges.

"With all these rookies there are some growing pains," Mangini said. "We had some adjustments he missed [sunday] that he needs to be more consistent and fluid with."

I think he will be a decent depth wr for the Jets and only has a minimal chance to be a fantasy factor in the future. That guy disappeared in many games at clemson when his team needed him most. Also, the guy is very thin. He was listed at 6'0", 185 lbs while at Clemson. That might have been generous. When the Tigers needed him most he disappeared. His best games were against the weaker teams. He only has two games with more than 5 catches and only had 3 TDs on the season in 50 catches. I was pretty high on Stuckey going into the 2006 season, but I have serious doubts that he can be a viable fantasy WR.

Here are his college stats.

 
He looks great in camp so far. He has caught almost everything and has shown lots of elusiveness. He will end up the 4th WR, but probably won't make any noise until maybe next year. His injury definitely affected his draft status.

 
Waiver claims due tonight... is this guy worth a pickup or what?

2 TDs in two games is 2 TDs in two games. But my overall impression watching him is :porked:

That's kind of my thought after watching him too. I think he's benefited from two things the first two games:1. Coles being (in my opinion) far less than 100%2. The Patriots scheming to take away Cotchery in Week 2.I'm not sure Coles will get healthier anytime soon but I do think the Jets will find ways for Favre to get the ball to Cotchery more consistently. They have to if their passing game is going to have any sustained success. I wouldn't dismiss Stuckey outright - he's involved; Favre trusts him and Favre will spread the ball around. He also benefits from one of Favre's greatest strengths - his ability to make less notable WRs look great. He did that his entire career in Green Bay so he could make Stuckey look like a Pro Bowler at times this season.My thoughts on Stuckey would be that he's worth stashing away if you have the room in a larger league, but I'm not sure he's someone you want to be starting. Sure, he could score again and make you look smart but I think his upside is minimal and he has considerable downside if Coles gets healthy and once Favre starts finding Cotchery more consistently.

No. I wouldn't want to depend on 1-4 catches for about 40 yards per game. I'd expect Keller to get more passes as the season progresses, plus Clowney will be back after the bye to steal a couple of targets.
 
He is doing everything Brad Smith should have been doing last year and in Wk 1 was in the right place at the right time. He has not much value with Cotch/Coles in front of him. For dynasty purposes, he is worth a spot on a deep roster but I dont think he is going to keep up the 1 TD/game pace

 
Favre seems fond of Stuckey. Posted the quote in another thread yesterday...jetsconfidential.com I think

 
Stuckey DID look very good in Jets' TC in 2007... and he re-injured a foot that had cost him most of hos college senioer year. He was IR for 2007. He still reminds me of Santana Moss, but again, he is willing to go over the middle and will take the hit on the sidelines for another 3 to 5 yards. Never saw im in collge, but as a poster said, I was impressed witrh him in TC last year. This is for all intents and purposes, his rookie year.

The problem, or several of them, are that Favre has too many targets... Cotch, Coles, Stuckey, Brad Smith (who Stuckey is ahead of now as WR#3). the TE's, Baker, Franks and Keller not to mention L Washington as a 3rd down RB. When Clowney returns, Stuckey stands to lose snaps to boot. Stuckey has the talent, a nose for getting open, great hands, runs good sharp routes, and seems to be on Farve's wavelength.

Until the Jets start to throw on first downs once in a blue moon, I downgrade all the Jets' recievers. But, as far as Stuckey is concerned, I think he's better than Santana Moss as a comparison.

Clowney looked very good in camp this year too.... either Stuckey or Clowney will replace Coles sooner or later, but which one? I did get him in any dynasty league I could... and he sits on my taxi squad for now.

Of course he won't keep up the TD/game thing... but he could be good for 6 or 7 on the season.
