I think we should sign him. Sounds like he could be a good prospect. Tough guy. Of course he has sort of a red flag with punching Geno Smith... But its Geno Smith. We need all the help we can get on defense, even though we look improved from last year.

Quote from the article that peole won't read:

During 1-on-1 blocking, pass rushing drills against offensive linemen early in camp, Enemkpali made a mockery of just about anyone that stepped in front of him. He used a battery of movies that included the spin, swim and bull rush to get past nearly everyone. He caught the eye of his teammates, and brought cheers from the crowd in attendance. Even Jets coach Todd Bowles took notice.

“He’s strong and he’s got a good pass rush,” Bowles said. “He’s still learning the new scheme as far as when to drop and when not to drop, and certain things like that. But we know he can rush the passer.”


Update: I just found out he was arrested for punching a cop. So it looks like he has a pattern of this. I rescind my post. Bad idea. I thought it was a one time thing.

No.

How much Geno will lose by sitting out?

I doubt anything. The Jets would have to label it a "non football injury" in order to not pay him while he is out and I highly doubt that happens

Ya think?

God no.

Didn't we just get rid of a toolbag who liked fighting his teammates?

I doubt they can do anything since he was attacked by another employee in the work place.

Did you forget to use the sarcasm font?

He was arrested while at La Tech for punching a cop too.

No thanks

Shows how much respect the Jets oline has for Geno. Can you imagine Armstead, Strief, or Evans letting someone get in Drew's face during an argument?

At least 51 players would kill the dude.

No one would even dare attempt such a thing on Drew.

None. Unless they release him, but they won't.


THough he probably loses opportunity to make bonuses or incentives. It sucks for him and could see him out of a starting job.

 

[insidejob]

Come on, guys, we need someone with some attitude on defense!1!!Duh!11!

 

[saintsfan4210]

Geno Smith does have a punchable face

 

[BlackandGoldXLIV]

A wired jaw shut means no solid food for Geno.

That should lead to a loss in weight and strength.

Not good.

Also, this choice of words just stood out.
