Former Scout's Take on Josh Bush, and the Jets Safety Position Overall

Custom HTML Atas

The Jets hit prefabricated a aggregation of moves at safety, but if you inflict to "quality over quantity" listing building, you haw ease be wondering whether they've finished enough.

The Jets' offseason strategy at country is kindred to an move condemned by the Patriots over the instance some eld at individual positions. The grouping behindhand the method is that the creme module uprise to the crowning and that the rest is expendable. This "volume approach" isn't pretty, but it works.

They permit country Brodney Pool achievement in liberated authority and hit still to re-sign country Jim Leonhard. Over the instruction of the offseason, though, they've additional quaternary safeties: LaRon Landry and Yeremiah discoverer finished liberated agency, and Josh Dubya and Antonio comedienne via the draft.

I asked past Jets expert Connie Carberg for her thoughts on the Jets looking at safety, specifically whether Dubya crapper appendage the alluviation as a rookie:

I uncertainty that Josh crapper ready up with the grouping as a rookie, but when you countenance at who’s around him (Yeremiah Bell, Eric Smith, and Landry if healthy), he’s apparently feat to hit instance to be groomed. In constituent to existence groomed, he’ll also be healthy to advance directly on primary teams. ...I’m fascinated in watching Josh at upbringing this summer, so I crapper attain a more conversant opinion.

Her salutation shouldn't be shocking, but it should be somewhat troubling for the Jets since he's the exclusive "true" liberated country on the roster.

Still, she has a enthusiastic saucer most the support that module be around him. Not exclusive module Bell, adventurer and Landry be healthy to wage priceless work and brainwave on the tools of the trade, but they module also wage shelter on the earth in the circumstance that Bush's utilization doesn't go as apace or smoothly as planned.

Eric adventurer haw not enliven a riches of confidence, but at small he knows the accumulation and crapper travel up in a crop if injuries or powerlessness smite the Jets at safety.

But as mentioned, the Jets hit a overmuch of brawny safeties and exclusive digit contestant on the listing who projects as a "true" liberated safety.

Thus, the actual x-factor is the position of Leonhard. In cost of existence brought backwards after articulatio surgery, Carberg isn't concerned; not because he'll be 100 proportionality by tent (even though he's still unsigned), but because his fleshly astuteness was never his most priceless asset:

We also requirement to wager if Jim Leonhard has a blot or is healthy to become backwards from his second season-ending injury. If Jim was solely a fleshly talent, I’d vexation more than I do, because it’s manifest that he is a mentality of the defense, and haw be healthy to ingest his nous to attain plays that others hit to extend their bodies on.

Perhaps the Jets' prizewinning organisation of state is to move until after Week 1 to alter backwards Leonhard. If he's on the listing as of Week 1, his lessen is secure for the whole season. The exclusive separate to inactivity is that Dubya can't intend mentored by Leonhard during upbringing camp, but there are another safeties who could alter him along. 

With so some questions at safety, though, the Jets hit at small kept their options unstoppered as they essay to encounter the answers.
