DC9 Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Who knows, but not getting claimed the first day isn't a good barometer. That doesn't mean anything. Is it at all conceivable that teams are trying to find out why he was benched? Because of the.... dumbassity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justice98 Posted September 6, 2015 Share Posted September 6, 2015 Is it at all conceivable that teams are trying to find out why he was benched? Because of the.... dumbassity? Oh sure, but can't automatically assume that. It's no more higher on the list than any of the other 100 reasons somebody might not get picked up the first day. Hr could be weighing offers from multiple teams for all we know. We have no idea. His talent might be a little overrated too, BTW. All he's done is have a freakish year where he was a TD machine and not much else. He was an undrafted free agent, after all. Could be he's just a limited player.

He's a big target and all, but he's also slow and can't block very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jericho Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think the problem with Fauria is that he's not a blocking TE. If the team signed a guy now at TE, it would likely be a blocking TE, as the other two guys are better pass catchers (although Carrier is an okay blocker). They essentially want someone to replace Paulsen as Carrier is the replacement for Paul. Fauria isn't that guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was one of the more recognizable guys floated out there. Isaiah Frey, last time I checked, was on pace to replace Peanut Tillman. I's be interested in Frey. Wes Saxon getting cut from the Jets, I'd want to look into that because of our TE situation. Taiwan Jones was someone I wanted straight-up in the draft. I'd bring him in. He could at least make our special teams, I know that. Maybe be a goalline LB, rotational LB. Kelcy Quarles was too good to go undrafted when he came out, my opinion at the time. He or Joe Vellano would be interesting to me as rotational bodies. 3 tech guys. I wondered about Red Bryant, if he's fallen off a cliff or whatever? But his name sort-of jumped out. Guys like Kruger and Uko are in the same bin, but they're more like 5 tech guys or strongside OLBs. Alex Tanney was that trick shot QB from division III. What the hell? I like the idea of adding another passrusher after Galette has gone down. Hence the Carl Bradford and Adrian Hubbard look. Bradford could get after it at Arizona State, even though I thought he would need to transition to ILB in the Pros. But he could be a speed OLB. A little humble pie for Hubbard is what scouts recommended, murmured, when he came out. Might get a bounce back rebound from him. Mike Catapano in that same bin of passrushers. He was 7 tech DE in college, OLB for us. I like the idea of adding another DB from somewhere. I don't know exactly why Drummond was waived, I think he's on Houston's practice squad right now. That was the most prominent safety I saw. Shaq Richardson was that really athletic CB from Arizona who has bounced around. He along with some others like Frey and Richard Crawford interest me.

JaxJoe Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 The Texans not only released 6-1 208lb S Kurtis Drummond but his teammate from Michigan State, ILB Max Bullough 6-3 249lb. Two key defenders of Michigan State's dominant defense a couple season ago. Tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFi Skins Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Taiwan Jones will be a starter in this league. He's a thumper and always pushes through gaps for tackles behind the line. Very surprised the Jets cut him. He'd be my ideal ILB to groom behind Riley and maybe even take his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RemoveSnyder Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 So Taiwan Jones was cut Saturday and made it through waivers unclaimed and was added to the Jets practice squad on Sunday. Todd Bowles has said good things about him through the spring and summer. Surprised no one claimed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Contradiction in terms being as one can't be relied on to stay healthy, and the other is, well, ...... We aren't in a good spot at all at the position IMHO. Either in the interim or down the line.

RandyHolt Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I think Compton is our blocking TE so we ostensibly have 3 TEs. That is why we are not taking Fauria, perhaps. We will pick him up if Reed gets injured. Reed = Hands Carrier = Hybrid Compton = Blocking I think we have a big role for Compton planned. And not just blocking. He has been running around in end zones a few years now. #SecretWeapon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandyHolt Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Like Big Mile Sellers under Coach that mad year! Hail. Not quite that BIG. Was that the year we tried him over the top at the goal line 3 times in a row? Think more like Donnie Warren / Rick Doc Walker. A blocking TE that ends up catching more balls than expected. I am hoping we use him occasionally on run downs - 1st and 10, like Baltimore did to us. A new wrinkle to our offense. Just a series or two every few games, to test the waters. And punish opponents with our run game, which we have been told several times is a goal. Take pressure off Kirk, and give him better blockers at the same time.

dswerdlw Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Unless we're sold on Hamm, I'd be interest in Wes Saxton or Joseph Fauria. Saxton is a hustler who can catch. The hustle part makes me think he might be a solid special teams player. Fauria is a 6'7" vet who caught around 7 touchdowns a couple years ago. He could be a red zone threat for us. Not much of a special teams player, I'm told. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that we'd cut the 10th o-lineman (Nsekhe, right?). I understand the argument that Compton is our 3rd TE, in effect; however, most would agree that Reed is an injury waiting to happen. If Hamm is the man, then so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
