Comments on: JETS RE-SIGN POTEAT http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/06/jets-re-sign-poteat/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Tue, 02 Dec 2008 07:00:59 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: Warrior Monk http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/06/jets-re-sign-poteat/#comment-26309 Warrior Monk Thu, 08 May 2008 16:53:55 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/05/06/jets-re-sign-poteat/#comment-26309 Hmm. I wonder why all the other journeyman signings around the league don't get this kind of attention on this website. Could it be because the nondescript player in question matriculated at Pitt? Nah, I'm sure that couldn't be it. Hey Florio, why didn't you bother to mention that the 1st round draft pick & budding star holding down the other CB spot for the Jets also played at Pitt? BTW, what's up with that 1st round CB from WVU? What's his name? Frogger Jones, is it? How's his career goin'? Hmm.

Jeez, get your facts straight! :) The Jets spoke to Gay while he was a tendered restricted free agent ... bringing him in for a visit in 2007 ... that's actually allowed. As far as Poteat, he brings depth to the roster, nothing more. He could start, because the Jets don't have anyone better ... quite an indictment on the #2 CB. All the same, keep an eye out for the guy the Jets drafted in the fourth round Dwight Lowery, not sure if he'll settle at corner or safety, but he could be the second corner by season's end.

Boy don't you guys know your own team? He NEVER PLAYED IN THE SUPER BOWL! On the teams roster, yes. He was not activated for the super bowl. For you jet fans, your season is shorter than New Englands so I'll explain. You have a 53 man roster. Plus an 8 man practice squad that cannot be activated unless signed to a union contract. Only 48 of them are active on game day. That means 5 healthy players don't dress every week. Once again your thinking of Randell Gay. He started the super bowl vs Philly matched up against TO. You remeber Randell Gay. He's the CB you tampered ...err...spoke to while still under contract with New England. he is now with the New Orleans Saint. You can easily find post season stats for Hank Poteat @ yahoo sports. NFL Players. Game log. Oh yeah in 06 playoff when we whipped your a** 37-16. He was on your team then too. Only Jet fans could rejoice resigning one of their own players who has 2 INT's in his 7 year career. ENJOY. (Sorry Florio. I try to keep it mature but...damn jet fans..it's like talkin to my kid brother.) As a matter of fact Hank Poteat has played for the Jets in 06 (11 games) and 07 (16 games).

Remember when all their DB's but Harrison went down when they played the Eagles in the Superbowl? Poteat was definately in that mix. Maybe that is why the Jets like him so much. They'll steal anything having to do with NE, good or bad! He definately has a ring with the Patriots. Remember when all their DB’s but Harrison went down when they played the Eagles in the Superbowl?
