You know the running will be around its all about eh passing game which will determine how far we can go. So i hope he is a as good as he looked last pre season cuz we need a #2.

The only way they go with 5 is if Wright surprises and finds a role for himself as a wideout too. Clowney has high expectations for himself, but I agree with JetOrange that it would only take one out of about five other guys to outshine him in camp and he could be fighting for his job. Especially when the reports from minicamp were saying that he had been a disappointment. I think he'll impress once we get to preseason, but he has a lot to prove. Good luck, David!

Clowney's deep speed can be the element that energizes the Jet Offense, it is very hard to defend deep speed if you got 8 in the box.Clowney is the perfect compliment to Cotchery and would open up intermediate zones for Keller and Cotch. But David is a big tease, he is hurt all the time, he has some serious drops, and although he hasn't accomplished anything, we detect a little bit of diva. Rex commented the other day that he was looking for tough football players to come out of this camp, this does not bode well for David. Cotchery, Stuckey, Wright, and yes Brad Smith are locks, and it must be noted that Clowney does not play specials. Most teams go with 5 receivers (IMO the Jets will go with SIX), the only other speed receiver is Paul Raymond, who has no shot. The Jets could go big at number 5, Whittaker, Henry or Urrutia. If one of those guys has an outstanding camp, David could be unemployed... I want Clowney to be the man, but he may be bubble man.
