Not a bad potential replacement, I'm liking Idzik's strategy so far. :yes:
Didn't see this posted anywhere, if I missed it then dump it.

Was kind of hoping we stuck with Bush and drafted a guy to play the other side. Robert Lester in the 4th would be nice.
Bush and Allen will probably rotate in the FS spot next season, not sure how good Bush can be but I liked what I saw from Allen in the snaps he played. Wouldn't mind a safety in the mid rounds either, is Lester a cover safety?Quote:

Excellent ball skills, including the ability to track the ball over his shoulder, extend to catch away from his frame and the ability to sneak his hands under the ball to corral pass deflections.Quote:

Highly respected by coaching staff for his work ethic.
WEAKNESSES: A bit of a 'tweener. May lack the athleticism for deep coverage and the physicality necessary to play well closer to the line of scrimmage. Does not possess ideal hip fluidity and foot quickness to operate as a true centerfielder against an NFL passing attack. Loses a step as he changes directions and does not have great speed to recover.
Does too much grabbing and dragging as an open-field tackler, and when he does attempt to lower the boom has a tendency to duck his head and lunge. Takes questionable angles to the ball, underestimating the speed of ball-carriers and not proving to be a reliable last line of defense.
COMPARES TO: Kerry Rhodes, FS, Arizona Cardinals: Like the 6-3, 212-pound Rhodes, Lester has the size, closing speed and ball skills to develop into a dependable ball-hawk at the next level.
Idzik is doing exactly what I wanted so far.Cut the dead horse type guys who were long in the tooth.Now he is signing low salary/high upside guys like Colon/Goodson and maybe Landry.He is gona draft hopefully good and restore this team back to contender in a year or 2.This is the right way to do things.Redskins finally quit signing free agents and that payed off.Listen signing free agents is not bad...but you gota sign smart cheap deals with upside and that is how Idzik is operating.We got ourselves finally.....finally...a smart gm.
Not a fan of Lester, soft and does not always gets in on tackles... not what you want from your safety... overrated in coverage aswell...Quote:

Keep an eye on TJ McDonald in the draft. He was highly rated before the season, but had a bit of a down year (as did many at USC). TJ's dad, Tim McDonald, is the new Jets secondary coach.
So the Rhodes comparison is well deserved. :)Quote:

Personally if we get a first round pick for Revis and can use that (late in the first) to get a QB like Nassib, Id be all for using our 2nd round pick on Jonathan Cyprien. Guy is fast, will be a center-field type safety but can also hit and has excellent leadership qualities, which we desperately need.

The Jets need a veteran SS to play alongside Josh Bush at FS. I think the elder Landry would be perfect, but i am not so sure he's a SS.
A certain 5'8 former Jet is an FA and Tom Zbikowski (former Raven) was released yesterday.Quote:
