    The New York Jets worked out several free agents Tuesday, including two veteran guards -- Doug Legursky (most recently of the Buffalo Bills) and Jeff Baca (Minnesota Vikings).

    Legursky, a five-year vet, started 11 games last season for the Bills. Baca was a sixth-round pick of the Vikings in 2013.

    The Jets are solid at guard with starters Willie Colon and Brian Winters. The backups are Oday Aboushi and rookie Dakota Dozier, neither of whom has played in an NFL game. Chances are, the Jets are formulating a short list of options in the event of an injury.

    They also auditioned punters and a long snapper, none of whom have regular-season experience.

    Personally, I think we are loaded and in great shape on our OL ? I appreciate Idzik turning over every rock; however, I think we need to be more concerned in other areas like CB or WR ? Champ Bailey & Eric Berry CB's are both available, and I understand the Chiefs are still "secretly" shopping WR Dwayne Bowe.
    I think when McDougle returns next season, it will only leave one huge void, and that's locating a true #1 WR in the draft or free agency. Please note, I think Idzik is doing a wonderful job of building this team for a serious run @ a Super Bowl next season.

    mcDougle will take Wilson's roster spot next year and PT. I think we'll still be in the market for a #2 CB next spring.

    The only way the Jets aren't in the market for a #2 CB is if Allen really does show that he has what it takes.

    Teams work out players all the time. If a player looks good, they might get added to the practice squad or get an invite to camp next year.  I think that's how we found Hakim, but not sure on that

    It's commonplace. Sarge is absolutely right. It's also indicative of a smart and hard-working front office.

    Wonder if Aboushi's reps increase this week.  They seemed high on him heading into the season.  I'd like to see him get a crack at PT if Winters continues to struggle.

    What IS this unbridled optimism over McDougle?
    Kreist on a pogo stick, he hasn't even seen a football field in over a year - 2 years by the time he gets healthy again - and he starts out NFL life as a midget CB in a big boy WR league.
    It's downright retarded is what it is.

    Right now we can't count on Miliner ever being a quality corner, how can we pencil in McDougle? Hopefully he returns to full health, and not be another Ras-I-Dowling, a guy drafted off the injured list and never stays healthy.

    In an Alshon Jeffery / Brandon Marshall / Megatron / Kelvin Benjamin / Mike Evans / Jordy Nelson / Dez Bryant / Demaryius Thomas / Andre Johnson / Eric Decker / Larry Fitzgerald / V-JAX / Marques Colston / Michael Floyd / Dwayne Bowe / Cordarelle Patterson / Josh Gordon /  A. J. Green / Julio Jones League?
    You damn well better believe he qualifies as a midget CB - and he doesn't possess half the ability that allows Jonathan Joseph or Leon Hall to survive as midgets, either.

    Jets are going to have to spend some money next off-season for a quality corner. No way can they depend on McDougle to be a starter, or even one of the top 3 corners. The team also can not draft another defensive player in round 1.

    This is going to be a particularly vexing year to have OL troubles, because the 2015 OL draft class is as thin on talent as HYATT™ has witnessed in over a decade.
    Short of A&M's Cedric Ogbuehi & Iowa's Brandon Scherff, there isn't a Rd 1-caliber OT on either end of the OL available in 2015.
    Center will be extraordinarily bereft of talent and we probably don't see one drafted before the middle or end of Rd 3.
    There is no conversation about OGs, because again, aside from S.C.'s A.J. Cann, none of them deserve to be drafted before the end of Rd 2 or possibly Rd 3.
    Woe be to those with OL troubles because there is no help coming in the 2015 draft and the 2015 UFA class of OL will be so overpriced it could kill a team's cap to sign (2).

    Ditto the TE class.
    By the time the daft rolls around HYATT™ is sure SOME TE will be smoked up enough to get a late Rd 1 or early Rd 2 grade, but it'll be all smoke and mirrors and whomever that TE is, the team drafting him will find themselves with a bench art critic.

    Want a possession slot receiver? (#2 or "Y")
    Good luck with that too.
    The 2015 WR class will NOT be noted for it's "sure hands".

    The strengths of the 2015 draft class will be at QB, Flanker WRs - again, CB, FS, & pass-rushing specialist 4-3 DEs/3-4 OLBs.
    This is where the Jets must concentrate their efforts next year.
    It's actually more a "Jets draft class" than any in recent memory, given Pace and Babin are aging out, CB (& FS) are an ongoing problem since Revis and then Cro left, no WR depth beyond Wrecker, and of course the perennial 30 year search for a franchise QB.

    Sounds like we'll get to see what Aboushi is made of.

    wouldn't it have been wise to use some of the 24 million left on the table for a few quality olinemen over the summer...you know, when you could have signed one?

    Hey, welcome to the board, skop! Glad you made it over.

    I think you may be right, but I also think that nobody expected Winters, Colon, and Breno to be as shaky as they've been. I live for OL play, and I didn't even expect it.

    Williams is a little dude, about McDougle's size, who starts opposite "The Shield" and is a free agent this spring.  Are you okay with him signing here next spring?  Any value in him as a borderline #1 to go opposite brittle Milliner?

    Sack, thanks!! I freaked out when I visited the old board. I have been in transition with a new job, getting in a new office, new systems...lots to do. Missed you guys!

    I think we have the Ivory packages dialed in when he's at tailback, and the line looks very good at times. We look shaky with CJ, and my gut tells me that we need to the line pulling and the LOS extended for him to show us what makes him special.

    I don't put the blame squarely on them fro looking shaky. Rex seems to love the wild cat, option type of stuff. I know that you're supposed to play the play called, but give these guys a chance to get some momentum...please. Furthermore, Geno has to get some help from his WRs. I get the feeling he is pressing if they drop a few early, holding on to it, and then getting clobbered.

    Missed you guys. glad to see you! Now, where is that Sanchez thread...just kidding!!!

    You know, Sanchez couldn't be doing much worse than what we've been getting!

    I think you are right about CJ. Ivory can do some things between the tackles. To me, he's a poor man's Marshawn Lynch. But you can use CJ more laterally, and they haven't done enough of that. It seems like there has been too much of an attempt to use him in the passing game, and it sort of feels forced.
