my gut says that the starting safeties on opening day will be Landry FS and Allen SS. with Bush as backup FS and Smith SS

I'll consider bringing back Braylon Edwards only if we suffer some injuries in the WR corp. With Chaz Schilens on the team, an injury is bound to happen. Otherwise, I like the speed WRs we currently have on the team. Keep in mind, the Jets are going to be more of a running team than a throwing team. The team will throw to setup the run.

If someone was to get hurt, then I would probably want Dougie back. I think he will bring a spark in the locker room. I don't recall any teammates having issues with him. Everything bad happened away from football. I was a big dougie fan, I think of the way he carried 2 patriot defenders into the endzone in the playoff game, and the big catch he had against the Colts when we needed to drive down field. But that injury sounds bad, he is still tweeting about how he is trying to recover even tho he was cut during the season. Thats not good.

But as of right now, we are stacked at WR if Chaz stays healthy. Holmes, Hill, Schilens, and Kerley is considered a pretty good group. Nice combo of Size & speed that we need to help in play actions. and if Jordan White turn out to be a good WR, we will have 5 good WR's for a "ground & pound" team. I want to see Hill take on the #2 spot full time. He has game changing speed , he can catch a screen pass and turn on his 4.30 speed up the field. and if Chaz is healthy, we have a 6'4 225lbs WR with 4.40 speed & 40inch vertical in rotation. He has something to prove to the league.

If we do sign dougie, I won't be mad. but if we don't, it doesn't matter to me. I'm happy with the talent we have now.

I'd rather we not bring Edwards back. I liked him in his second year here (not his first) but would rather see Hill, Kerley, Schillens and White get the playing time.

As too "ground and pound", i think we're still going to throw the ball 25-35 times a game.

Everyone knows my feelings on Edwards. Guy loved playing here, don't know if he still would but I think he would enjoy coming back to try to revive his career.

However, with the selection of Hill it lessened the need for us to add him. I truly think all of this depends on Hill, if he struggles I can see us adding Bray and that way letting Hill develop for a year. If Hill can be our starter right away then I doubt Bray comes back. I think someone close to training camp will give him a deal though. I think some place like Carolina would be great for him, if we don't end up signing him.

BRING DOUGIE BACK!!!

If we could bring him back for a contract similar to braylons, or even less, because there seems like there is no demand, so it would be less. What would be the down side?

Here's why I would love to have Braylon Back at the right price IF HEALTHY

- He would be playing for a pay day = extra motivation to play for the money and we've seen it time and time again people playing on prove it deals or last years of deals put out very good performances.

- For all the Diva Talk ... Braylon never once was a diva like Holmes. Never heard one negative thing with him involving football and the team all his issues were off the field.

- He had very good chemistry with Sanchez and did not have nearly as many drop problems as he had with the Browns.

- When he was here he always had the impression of being a team guy and unlike Holmes claimed he would give the team a hometown discount so to speak to stay here.

- Braylon is 6'3 and a legit vertical threat if healthy. Also notice Sanchez's problem under pressure is throwing high. A tall receiver neutralizes this to some degree.

Still doubt we bring him in but stop making him sound like some bum or some drama queen that will make us look bad he wasn't that here. If we bring him in it will be because he's healthy.

I would love to have dougie back, but I don't see it happening at this point. We have a herd of WR's as is.

I knew they would go with Holmes over Edwards, but definitely towards the end of Edwards' time with us I was really hoping he would stay. The fact he went to Jets West and everything really showed me he wanted to stay on this team.
