[quote=SmootSmack;723597]If Clayton is cut, I could see us taking a look but an AH/Clayton swap doesn't make sense to me[/quote]

It would if we got an extra pick thrown in. AH for Clayton is rather one sided on face value. We really need to get back some picks.

I hope this isnt something that bothers DM all season.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

I just checked the weather and the sky is NOT falling.. Sure, it would be nice if D-Mac was playing in this game but it's preseason and therefore meaningless and since (as some have said) he's always hurt it's good to get Rex some time with the starters. Nudge me in September.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

[quote=ethat001;723595]Apparently he can't be placed on the PUP list, since he'd have to be injured BEFORE training camp to do this. IR is still possible I suppose. Sucks, I had hopes for him, but now there's pretty much little to no justification for him to be on our roster. If he is, then Shanahan would violate all his rules of a player proving himself by playing in practice. Banks, Armstrong and even Galloway I guess have shown more than Kelly.

[B]Too bad, MK hurt his hamstring at McNabb's camp. The question will always be - [U][I]did McNabb work his receivers too hard at "Hell week"?[/I][/U][/B][/quote]

I think the obvious answer is no. It's MK we're talking about. He's the only one that got hurt and he basically admitted to not warming up properly.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

[quote=aceinthehouse;723623]I guess you guys didn't the Theismannesqu take down of McNabb on his "intentional grounding"call...

[B]I swear I saw his left leg get caught on the ground and bent backwords as the big guy fell on him.
I'm amazed honestly that he's not done for the season or career. Cause what I witnessed,was the Theismann break that ended his career. Not a pretty site.[/B]

Everyone in this forum,should be and feel relieved imo...
Cause he should be wearing a cast instead of walking boot.
Mcnabb is very lucky,we don't play on turf or he was playing at Veterans stadium on that tackle.

I am relieved Shanny is doing this.
And I think a lot of good can come out of Rex starting.

#1)With Mcnabbs previous injury history of missing games,this will allow us to see how good this offense can be run with Grossman and the 1st team on the field.(O-line,Wr's,etc) with grossman at the helm instead of the "Route 66" Rex got against the Ravens.

#2)Rex is not nearly as cool and poised in the Pocket as Mcnabb,so we will get a good look at how the O-line can look. Not to mention McNabbs mobility even at his age is still better than grossman,so we will get to really see how Trent Williams can block the blindside of grossman without the presence of McNabb stepping up in the pocket with his pocket prowness. This game will be a great litmus test for trent Williams and the others imo...

#3)We will get to see which WR's can step up this game with Rex in the game. Who has the consistency to play well with mcnabb or without.

Can Armstrong continue his performance thus far with Rex?
Can Moss adapt to Rex?
How will Cooley or Davis fair with Rex?

Will the jets Defense respect our passing game with Rex or clog the LOS like the ravens did when they were getting burned?

Either way...Rex Ryan is going to be bringin' the House and we don't need McNabb cutting his forehead open and bleeding all over the field the way Eli did against them.

I'm not sure sitting Mcnabb out this game [B]without an injury[/B] would be a bad idea,with Rex Ryan and the jets defensive tendencies to blitz everyone.

Lets sit mcnabb this game...run him for 1 qtr against Arizone if he's close to 100% and prepare for Dallas!

Maybe 2 Qtr's if the line is playing great against Arizona.

That's how I see things anyways.[/quote]

I know the play you are talking about and when I was watching it I cringed. Totally could have been way worst, I think LJ missed his block on that one.

LOL! Thanks, did you stay up late making that one?

[quote=sandtrapjack;723661]Someone didn't tell Rex that when they played the Giants. Just ask Eli about those stiches. He hit his head on the facemask of a SAFETY.

Any time I see a DB in the backfield, the first thing I think of is, "It's the Cowboys ancient offensive line."

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

I think McNabb being out makes this preseason game a little more interesting from the evaluating standpoint. Is Armstrong that good or does he just have a special chemistry with McNabb? Will Jets bring the house more often then they normally do forcing our WR's to get separation and make plays one-on-one with McNabb being out? If so, how do the young RB's do in pass protection? How will the OL pass protection be without McNabb's playaction threat being there?

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Having McNabb sit out the Jet game may be a blessing in disguise. There is no need to get McNabb banged up against the Jets pressure defense. We know what he is capable of. This will be a good test for the offensive line, running backs and receivers. With Rex Grossman we will find out how well the offensive line is really playing. I'm more concerned about the loss of Kareem Moore. He is the only true free safety on the roster. Doughty and Horton are nice short term replacements but I thought Landry and Moore was something special.

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Haynesworth will play end and tackle

Re: McNabb out for the Jets
 

Doughty will start at FS and he and Horton will trade the role
