This feels like a one sided article. MLF said Zach was told to run after 2 progressions. Did you see that? I did not, that was MLF justifying his horrible year after being fired. To be balanced, Moore does not complete his routes, his poor YAC Is because he never runs North/South after a catch. Moore has his own issues and blaming on Zach is lazy David. MLF failed everyone, including Zach…
The Moore situation is basically Saleh and his offensive coaches trying to hide the fact that they knew drafting Wilson was a mistake. ( yes, we know JD drafted him, he is not above blame here).
Mims complained, he’s labeled a non team player, Moore complains, he’s another troublemaker then Garrett Wilson complained. All of a sudden, NFL insiders are looking at 22s of the Jet games and seeing that what these players are complaining about was true.
Is it any wonder why many of Zach’s teammates didn’t like him on both sides of the ball.
Getting back to Mims, his rookie year under Gase, was marred by hamstring issues. Once he got healthy, he showed glimpses of why he was a second round pick. He had 23 receptions for 357 yds averaging 15.5 yds a reception.
His second year, he comes into camp and is 6th on the depth chart. Supposedly he doesn’t understand the offense plus the big issue, he doesn’t play special teams.
What was always baffling here, the coaching staff making a big issue out of a second rounder playing time was based on his ability to play special teams.
I understand that he has had issues with penalties and with drops but under Gase, he averaged 15.5 yards a reception and 2 years under probably 4 different quarterbacks he has averaged 16.8 yards a reception. The big play ability is there, just maybe better coaching and a better quarterback would help Mims career and also help the Jets.
His third down reception for a first down was vital in the game winning drive against the Bills.
Hopefully Hackett helps fixes what ever the issues are here. Mims is still cheap on his rookie deal.
Bobber, I played and coached the game and offense was always my area of expertise. It was obvious to me that Denzel Mims was poorly coached in College. Baylor used a very basic offense where he ran a very limited route tree. While he’s a physically gifted kid he just not the brightest bulb in the box. He doesn’t understand route concepts,leverage,sight adjustments or the importance of position versatility. Gase didn’t as him go do anything but run go routes and back shoulder fades. The Jet offense under MLF was anything but simple. The whole issue of him not knowing the playbook was misrepresented. If they put him at one spot like the X receiver spot it would limit the scheme as designed. The system was designed to move receivers around to confuse the defense. I have no idea what Hackett has in mind this season but if the Jets decide to hang onto Mims I think he’s gotta get his act together or it’s gonna be more of the same.
I’m on the fence, with cutting Davis (poor draft for big WR’s ) but the CAP almost demands that Corey and Berrios are cut, which leaves Elijah Moore as your second WR by default. Elijah’s & Mims development is just crucial. Impatiently waiting for the hiring of the WR Coach, but the Jets hired John Vieria as an instructional design coach . What the hell is that ? Don’t know, but my understanding is that he is a teacher’s teacher for coach’s to help players continually learn and develop while instilling a culture of improvement. Although this position is designed to improve coaches with communication and teaching concepts, There are two guys that I think that sold management that this was a good idea. Zach and Mims. You need an innovative approach to salvage ZW, but Denzel could be close , and learning Hacketts system could be daunting. Jets failed both of these players , are taking a different approach. Maybe just maybe
