Yeah, I wasn't the biggest fan of Willis, either. I thought he didn't play close to as athletic as he tested.

But the dude did test insanely well at the combine. Kocurek's scheme always seems to improve or even prop up pass rushers, so I wouldn't be surprised if he plays a lot better here than he did in CIN/NY.

Willis has been inactive the past(not injury related) two weeks for the Jets. I can't imagine we gave up more than a 7th round pick.

I meant a 6th but I hope you're right !

Was just telling my friend we should pluck jets players because I was hearing of all these players that flourish after Adam Gase isn't involved lol

I liked him coming out. In fact liked both Carl Lawson and him and they both went to the bengals.

Hasn't done much in the nfl though

Likely a swap in late round picks, I'm guessing if we get a comp pick for Sanders ( a late 6th ) we swap that with their 7th ?

If he's explosive off the snap it will help the DE group. Even if he has no pass rush moves. The DE group seems slow and this affects the stunts that Saleh wants to call.

He ran a 4.53 forty at 270 lbs. Kocurek's got to be able to get something out of that. Look how Hyder has done since he's been in there. Let's hope his leg isn't about to fall off.

That's what I was wondering. The Jets WRs are banged up, they need for targets for Darnold before they give up on him.

So he only been active for 2 games and the Jets fan base went all Aaron Donald on this.

Not sure, through 43 career games he has 3 sacks and 5 QB hits. Backup throughout all of his career so far. Looks like they're just trying to find any sort of depth.

Hopefully Kocurek can work his magic on him. If not, as you mentioned, depth can't hurt.

Dude is definitely explosive and playing from a wide alignment should definitely help him.
