Comments on: Dwight “Swipe” Lowery to Start? http://www.thejetsblog.com/2008/09/04/dwight-swipe-lowery-to-start/ Ranting and Raving about the Gang Green Sun, 12 Feb 2012 13:32:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Mike G http://www.thejetsblog.com/2008/09/04/dwight-swipe-lowery-to-start/#comment-98802 Mike G Thu, 04 Sep 2008 19:55:56 +0000 http://www.thejetsblog.com/?p=5439#comment-98802 Call me over optimisic, but I think the Jets have the best young corner tandem in the NFL, and I think Lowery will join Revis in the pro-bowl within the next 2 years. This is assuming that Revis becomes the dominant shut down corner i expect him to be as well.

Of more concern will be the next two games--facing our buddy Brady and then Rivers and the Chargers. I’m fine with Lowery starting week one against Chad and the Phins.

The production attached to Lowery was incredible during his college days, there is no reason to believe he won't bring that capability to the next level. The wrist injury is of no concern- it will not inhibit, or delay any growth/ comeback/ etc. And the speed issue, well we have all seen how he moves in pads, on the field, etc. He's got some of the best instincts I've seen in a while and I'll take that over a 4.3 every day of the week. I also like him in the 2nd position and what should be a mixed-zone based defense on passing downs. The added pressure up front should cover some flaws. If he can sit in that intermediate zone, with his instincts we could see alot of picks from the QB's who are pressured and cannot make all the reads. Not only do I think he's a tremendous fit but a solid solid player. Hank and others are correct, this is another gem in Rd 4. I agree w Hank.

ALL the so called "experts" were down on this kid as a wasted pick because he was too slow. After watching him during the preseason I will go one better. He is the one player that knows the game of football better than ANY OTHER player on the Jets D. Lowery WILL be the NY Jets ROY. He exudes confidence, he is alot of fun to watch as he hawks the ball.

I had just gone to get evidence to prove I wasn't nuts too. College walk-on, undrafted free agent and former practice squad player Greg Camarillo has supplanted Derek Hagan as the starting No. 2 WR.

I read it yesterday. He was the guy who delivered their one win. Greg Camarillo is supposed to be the #2 WR for Miami. I read it yesterday. He was the guy who delivered their one win.
