Mason Taylor being mentioned in the same sentence as Mickey Shuler, Jet fans can only hope he is as good.
Shuler is the Jets all time tight end receptions leader with 438. Also for Jet tight end lifetime yardage leader with 4,819.
Holds the tight end season mark with 76 receptions and also season yardage of 879.
Caster as a tight end has team record for tight end tds with 11, Jerome Barkum has career tds with 40. Shuler had 37.
Shuler is also the last Jet tight end to garner any post season accolades which happened in 1988.
In looking at his career, I forgot he finished his career by playing for the Steelers for two years completing a 14 season career.
Unfortunately Corley if he doesn’t make, he could become the poster boy along with Zach Wilson for the failure of the JD Saleh regime.
Both JD and All Gas wanted him, they traded up for him, they had the audacity to tell the fan base that he was a better prospect than Brian Thomas Jr. who set Jacksonville Jaguars rookie records for receptions (87), receiving yards (1,282), and touchdowns (10) in 2024.
Now you see why MouGlenn gutted the scouting department.
In trying to find talking points to keep the Torch and Pitchfork Brigade involved, a few points off the internet
Fashanu evolved into a bright spot over the course of the Jets' tumultuous 2024 campaign. The team brought the rookie along slowly, as he took over duties along the offensive line when injuries hit the unit. When Tyron Smith's season ended in November due to a neck injury, Fashanu stepped in as the Jets' starting left tackle, allowing only one sack in five starts before sustaining an injury of his own that sidelined him for the final two games of the season.
The Jets enter the 2025 season looking much different than they did when Fashanu arrived as the 11th overall pick in 2024. Aaron Glenn is the new head coach and Justin Fields replaced Aaron Rodgers as QB1. The offense is expected to be more of a run-heavy unit with Fields and Breece Hall in the backfield, which should play to Fashanu's strength as a blocker. In adding Armand Membou with the seventh overall pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, the Jets are hoping they have solidified their OT pillars for the future.

For a few years now, we've been previewing the UDFA class to try and identify who those gems in the muck could be. We have a
decent track record. Of the 40-some players highlighted last year, 30 are still with the same team, 21 made the Week 1 roster and 12 were either key
contributors or starters - guys like Dolphins CB Storm Duck, Jets DT Leonard Taylor, Rams
LB Omar Speights and Steelers
CB Beanie Bishop. Hits in past years include guys like Broncos RB Jaleel McLaughlin, Vikings LB Ivan Pace, Buccaneers RB

CLARK
HM: Michigan RB Donovan
Edwards
Clark is a good example of how teams using official "top 30" visits as advanced recruiting for undrafted free agents can pan out. New York guaranteed Clark $160,000, indicating both the high regard it had for him and the competition for his services. The
24-year-old safety started 42 games in college and has extensive special teams experience, which will be his first path to a role. He also has good athleticism and instincts, knocking down 12 passes and picking off four his final two years at Fresno State and notching a 9.33 RAS after hitting 4.51 in the 40, 11 feet in the broad jump and 41 inches in the vertical at 6-0 and
208 pounds. He could make the Week 1 roster for the Jets as the fourth safety.
Edwards might have the most name recognition of any rookie free agent this year after his success for Michigan on the big stages the past few years.
Unfortunately he never put it all together during his college career but he's got good size, great athleticism and three-down
receiving ability. He could very well have a better NFL career than
college career, assuming he can crack a deep Jets backfield that goes four players deep right now.

Reddick returned for
mandatory minicamp after not attending any OTAs.
Reddick said him not taking part in Bucs OTAs and training on his own was about "getting everything buttoned up...I don't want no distractions. When I come down here, I want to be able to play good football. I don't want nobody worrying about, 'Oh he got this going on...'" (Jenna Laine)
RUMORS WERE, HE WAS SECOND BEHIND GLENN, IN THE HC SEARCH.
HOW WAS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE. WHAT WERE THEY SMOKING IN FLORHAM PARK
There have been 96 individual team seasons over the last three years.
An Arthur Smith offense occupies three of the bottom 16 spots in pass rate over expected during that time.
As you know I was a big Micky Shuler fan. Another underrated Jets TE was Joe’s security blanket Pete Lammons. He wasn’t the great athlete guys like Barkum or Caster were but he knew how to get open and catch the football. Especially in clutch situations.
Pete Lammons, Paul Crane, Jim Hudson, Randy Beverly, Jim Turner and John Schmitt were all very underrated players in their time. They just worked hard and got the job done. They never got the accolades they deserved.
Yes, Arthur Smith was a serious candidate for the New York Jets' head coaching position in the 2025 hiring cycle. He interviewed with the team, and there was even speculation that he might be the "Plan B" if their primary target, Aaron Glenn, didn't work out. Ultimately, the Jets hired Aaron Glenn as their new head coach
Here's a more detailed look:
Interview and Interest:
The Jets interviewed Arthur Smith, who was then the Pittsburgh Steelers' offensive coordinator, for the head coaching vacancy.
Potential "Plan B":
Some analysts viewed Smith as a potential backup plan if the Jets didn't land their top choice, Aaron Glenn.
Previous Connection:
Smith had interviewed with the Jets four years prior before taking the Atlanta Falcons head coaching job.
Not Hired:
Despite the interviews and speculation, the Jets ultimately hired Aaron Glenn as their new head coach.
"Brutally Bad Hire":
One analyst called the potential hiring of Smith a "brutally bad hire", citing his struggles as head coach of the Atlanta Falcons.
Thanks the way I read it this morning it sounded like the Jets had let it leak out that Smith was the 2nd choice, which would have been so typical of Woody. Thank God it was just “analysts” hypothesizing.
David, as usual, well done sir. Especially with your work schedule and a couple of “ we ones” running amuck.😂 So many good talking points. Especially with the scarcity of relevant NFL/ Jets news. Skipping over Mosely who most here know I have been done with for the last two + eseasons, The amount of coverage devoted to Malachi Corley lately is amazing. I mean based on his contributions to the team ( I know, what contributions 🤔?) he really shouldn’t be a topic. So obviously it’s about his public perceptions from the coaching staff, the media and the fan base. For the coaching staff it’s gotta be concerning. It’s on them to try to make a diamond out of a piece of coal. Can they get him to commit and bye in? If not he’s toast. Connor Rodgers on his podcast suggested converting him back to his original position RB. But he also mentioned RB is probably the last position the Jets need help at. Corely’s “ RAS” score was in the high 70’s as I recall. At 5’11” 215 and a 4.48 40 time there is no reason he should not be an ideal core special teamer. I watched him practice and his route running is beyond bad. He looked stiff and just uncomfortable trying to run patterns next to other receivers. As for “Q”, he’s been stuck playing next to a bunch of DT’s that were one after another brought in through free agency after failing to impress their previous employers to keep them around. A lot of us here were surprised and disappointed we didn’t draft one of the better DT’s from this strong draft class. Once again we brought in a bunch of stop gap hold the fort types so once again “Q” Will be asked to do his best playing a role he’s really not designed to do. Plug the middle against the run. He’s a 3tech and best penetrating in search of QB’s! Leonard Taylor has promise but like “Q” he’s out of position as a 1 or 2tech. As for AR’s, who cares 😡 Let’s all move on from that self absorbed narcissist an concentrate on following the guys that are still here👍😂
Corley seems like a guy who, if he puts in the work this offseason, could carve out a role for himself. I get the impression that the characterization of him as immature or not ready to be an adult in the NFL might be slightly overblown. It's interesting that he immediately became THE guy at Western Kentucky after his freshman season (which was the COVID season). He became a starter at the end of his freshman year and came back as a sophomore to be the Hilltoppers' lead receiver. It suggests, to me, at least some work ethic and determination. It'll be interesting to see how he develops. Guys with that kind of feel for running with the ball in their hands can have long careers if they're flexible (positionally). Consider a dude like Cordarrelle Patterson; he came into the league as a raw receiver with an absurdly innate ability to move with the rock in his hands. Once it became clear that he wasn't going to be able to break into the league as a receiver, he was open to making the switch to running back. It added another 5 years to his career.
Well said sir! I want to win so if he can help us that would be great. Combining what’s been written with what I saw in the practice session I attended I’m gonna remain a skeptic until proven wrong. W.Kentucky is a far cry from the SEC or big 10 and an even further cry from the NFL. So I’m not buying his glory days there. Bigger, faster, stronger competition full of guys that know what they are doing so maybe this was simply another JD/ RS screw up. The fact they turned on him so quickly tells me there’s a lot more fact than fiction in this story. If he can get healthy he has an opportunity to prove his doubters wrong. But I’de be lieing if I said I believe he will. This reminds me a lot of last years mysterious QB secret injury mystery 😂
Tom Brady is an arrogant, classless, jackass. Of course he knew about the cheating in NE. He was the prime beneficiary of "Deflategate" and he either deflated the balls himself or had them deflated.
Mark Sanchez is a dumbass I put no credence in anything he says.
AR was a major part of the problem last year. The former regime gave in to him on everything and he couldn't deliver when it counted. And when they made the huge error of bringing in his buddy Adams in, Garrett Wilson became the forgotten man. All AR was concerned about was getting Adams the ball. The special teams and defense contributed greatly to the losing season, which also goes back to poor decisions by the regime.
Tom Brady does that stuff to ingratiate himself with the Cheatriot faithful. He was personally the criminal in the deflategate scandal - who destroys their cellphones? And those guys in New Hampshire that were called the deflators have never been heard from again. He should not be on Fox announcing after that move. If Woody had any courage, he would ask him to be banned from announcing Jet games.
From a Sanchez standpoint, I don't think he is wrong. Aaron was not the problem with the Jets last year. Special teams and Defense were a disaster.
Mason Taylor being mentioned in the same sentence as Mickey Shuler, Jet fans can only hope he is as good.

Mark Sanchez is a dumbass I put no credence in anything he says.
Sanchez just needs to sit in a corner and eat his hot dogs, lolololololol I wonder if they have them on hand in the booth at the games he calls.
I still can’t believe that dumb fuck ate one on the bench during a game.
AR was a major part of the problem last year. The former regime gave in to him on everything and he couldn't deliver when it counted.
