Link: Clowney On The Web
New York Jets wide receiver and object of affection from numerous lovestruck Green and White faithful, David Clowney, has taken to the World Wide Web to let you know exactly what is happening in OTA’s. That’s right, Clowney has a blog.
The rookies started yesterday and they all looked real good, from Mark Sanchez to Shonn Greene, even the free agent guys. There’s a lot of competition going on right now especially for the young guys.
Really, everything is looking great right now, the offense and the defense. Neither is dominating, which is good. We’re really taking turns dominating. The offense is passing and scoring touchdowns and the defense is getting picks and sacks. Both sides are making plays back-and-forth. That’s always a good thing instead of one side just dominating.
I’ve been working with the first team, but as the third receiver. I’m still not starting yet. Jericho is number 1 on the depth chart, then Chansi Stuckey then me. Sometimes I’m in on the two-receiver sets, too, depending on the play.
While obviously being overly positive, Clowney does share some good insight. Although it’s been reported that Stuckey is in the lead for the No. 2 role opposite Jerricho, this gives you something of an idea how they’re planning to use Clowney at the moment. His speed could really create mismatches on the inside, especially if they use motion to line him up against a linebacker or safety. What do you guys think?

I think clowney and stuckey can easily flip flop between outside receiver and slot receiver which may make them difficult to match up against……..who does the corner cover and who does the safety cover…….then split leon to the same side…..i think that could be deceptively hard to defend…

I like Clowney and Stuckey. I think they will really surprise the critics. Well, at least I’m hopeful that they will.
Makes perfect sense that Stuckey should be the other starter, at least until Clowney proves himself. Coles and Stuckey are extremely similar in almost every way (apart from age/experience and attitude). The “he would be better suited to a slot receiver” argument could have been applied equally to Coles throughout his career.
Clowney will add a different dimension to the Jets offense even if he is only a situational deep threat, but I think the hope is that he will be more than that. It certainly sounds like Stuckey’s lead over him at the moment is not a big one.
