I look forward to hearing your responses!Gang Green Nation Reader Spotlight: McguirkjThe Basics:What’s your name and/or username? Mcguirkj – John McGuirkWhat city/state do you live in? County Tipperary, in the Republic of Ireland. There’s a song about what a long way away it is, you may have heard it.How old are you? 34 years oldThe Miscellaneous:What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given? My grandmother, god bless her soul, once told me that time spent worrying what other people think of you is time completely wasted. You just make yourself insecure. Just be yourself, and the rest will sort itself out.If you could grab lunch with anybody in the past, present or future—dead or alive, who would it be and why? I think Augustus Caesar. His life story is fascinating, from tyrannical dictator at 18 to beloved statesman fifty years later, and I’d love to find out the truth of it all.If you were stranded on a deserted island for the rest of forever, which musical artist would you be listening to, and which television series would you be watching? I’d probably be listening to the Canadian folk artist, Loreena McKennitt (go listen to “the old ways” on youtube) and watching Game of Thrones.The Jets Related Questions:How did you become a Jets fan? When I was in my late teens, about 16 years ago, and not a fan of football at all, some friends of a friend were over in Ireland from New Jersey in September. Manchester United were having a rough year and they kept saying “man, you think YOU got it bad? You better be glad you’re not a Jets fan.” Their constant sporting refrain was that the Jets sucked and were terrible but “success is just around the corner”. I thought this was a good time to get on the bandwagon, watched a few games, and got hooked. Man I hate those guys.What’s your favorite Jets memory? What about your most painful Jets memory? Favourite memory is dragging my fianc茅 to the London game against the Dolphins a few years ago (photo is of that day). Not only did the Jets STOMP the fish, but Neil Glat (Team VP) came over and talked to us for fifteen minutes, even though we were just random fans (well a random fan and his football-sceptic other half). I was very touched by it, and I remember it made Orla’s day too. Classy.Worst memory? Humiliating losses are bad, but I think a few years ago when my father in law asked me “how are the Jets looking this year” and I had to say “well things were looking okay until one of our linebackers punched the quarterback and broke his jaw”. That was a low point.In your humble opinion, who is the most dominant Jet to ever play and why? Namath. I know there are lots of other candidates and cult heroes in the fanbase, but Namath won it all, and is not just a Jets legend, but an NFL legend.Who is your favorite Jets player and why? I think I might be the only person who wasn’t in his family to buy a Tanner Purdum shirt. In a period where everyone else was incompetent, Tanner never let me down. A hero. More seriously Womens Neal Sterling Jersey , in the time I’ve been a fan, there hasn’t been a better Jet, and few better men who played as Jets, than Nick Mangold.If Woody Johnson handed you a blank check and gave you a choice to be a part of the New York Jets organization in any capacity, which position would you choose, and why? (It could be GM, Head Coach, Quarterback, Linebacker, Head of Scouting, Waterboy—the sky is the limit).I’d be the GM obviously.Mike Maccagnan and Todd Bowles get fired after the season and Woody Johnson decides to name you the next GM, giving you one very clear goal: win the Super Bowl within the next 4 years. What is your strategy to make the Jets a Super Bowl winner? What is your strategy to build this team into a perennial Super Bowl contender? On the offensive side, I think we have the most important piece already, and he wears #14. You have to do two things: Protect him, and get him weapons. I would prioritize O linemen in the top rounds of the draft for the next three years, aiming for a couple of solid guards and two tackles. The weapons I would pursue via free agency and trades. This coming offseason, Bell would be priority #1, with Tevin Coleman as a fallback option, and I’d be willing to splash the cash on a top WR if one becomes available. Adam Humphries is someone I’d be looking closely at to fill the slot role, with Anderson and Enunwa staying put. Ultimately though we will not win a Superbowl without a top 10 offensive line, so I’d be looking to bring in Mitch Morse and AJ Cann in free agency, and making our next franchise LT a very high draft priority with pick #3 (while remaining open to a trade down)On the defensive side of the ball, I would trade Leonard Williams if I could get a 3rd round pick for him. Additions here rely a lot on scheme. But my philosophy would be to build a team that can get back to stopping the run first and keeping them in 2nd and long as often as possible. To that end, Grady Jarrett would be a top target in FA. Top end draft picks would be spent primarily on the offensive line and skill positions, but I would be trying to draft a cornerback in the 3rd or 4th every year to generate a pipeline of talent into the back end of the D. I think decent linebackers are a good place to invest free agent dollars instead of draft picks, unless an exceptional talent falls to you. We should be set at safety for the foreseeable future, so that position is not a priority. That leaves the edge, and there is no obvious solution there. Dee Ford maybe, but that’s a scheme thing to be discussed with the coaches. Last week, the Jets claimed edge defender Tarell Basham, a former third round pick Authentic Spencer Long Jersey , on waivers from the Colts. Today, we’re taking an in-depth look at his strengths and weaknesses.The 24-year old Basham is in his second season having been drafted last year. He played in 15 games last year in a reserve role and registered seven tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble. He was the MAC defensive player of the year in 2016 and is the all-time leader in sacks for the Ohio Bobcats.BackgroundHaving been a productive pass rusher in high school, Basham attended military school for a year before attending Ohio University and making an immediate impact as a true freshman. He was eventually a four year starter for the Bobcats, racking up a school record 29.5 sacks. His production improved year on year and he won the MAC defensive player of the year award as a senior in 2016, having recorded career bests in tackles (49) and sacks (11).Basham had a decent performance at the scouting combine, but it was at the senior bowl where he really boosted his stock as he was dominant in drills all week. The Colts eventually drafted Basham with the 80th overall pick.As a rookie, Basham saw action as a rotational outside linebacker and on special teams, but struggled to move up the depth chart. He had some positive flashes, including a couple of sacks, but overall his rookie year was considered a disappointment.In the offseason, Basham was getting plenty of work with the first unit and seemed to be in the mix for a starting role, but a minor knee injury set him back and he got lost in the shuffle following a nondescript preseason.Basham played in the opener this season, in a situational rusher role, but he only had one pressure and had been inactive ever since. The Jets claimed him off waivers last week.Let’s move onto some more in-depth analysis of what Basham brings to the table, based on in-depth research and film study.UsageThe Colts have switched from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3 defense this year, which is one of the reasons Henry Anderson was no longer a fit for them. However, this is not the case with Basham.In college and high school, Basham only ever played in four man fronts with his hand(s) in the dirt, so he wasn’t really a fit for them as a 3-4 outside linebacker, which explains some of his struggles last year and the optimism that he would show progress in 2018.With the Colts last year, Basham lined up on both sides and played a mixture of linebacker and lineman roles. He didn’t play inside or off the ball very often, but this did happen occasionally.Basham has also said he mostly lined up on the left in college, so playing on the right was an adjustment for him too.Measurables/AthleticismBasham is listed at 6-foot-4 and 266 pounds and has decent length and big hands. However, he might be lighter than that at the moment, because he told reporters in the offseason that he’d slimmed down from about 270 to 250 since the end of the previous year. The coaching staff praised him for getting into better shape than he had been as a rookie.At the combine, Basham had some nice numbers with a 4.7 40-yard dash, 4.45 short shuttle and 119-inch broad jump. However, his three cone drill and vertical jump were below average and his bench press was poor (15 reps).Basham worked out again at his pro day, but didn’t improve on any of his numbers, others than adding an inch to his vertical.MotorBasham is regarded as having a good motor as he works hard in the trenches to battle for position.At the NFL level Authentic Kelvin Beachum Jersey , he’s yet to play 30 snaps in a game, either in preseason or regular season action, but did play over 70 snaps in a game in his senior year, so he’s shown he can handle a good workload.Run defenseBasham isn’t known for his run defense and his lack of functional strength would be a concern if playing on the line, especially with the weight he’s lost since last year.Nevertheless, he showed some development against the run in college. In his first two years, he only had two tackles for loss against the run, but he had 9.5 in his last two years.In pursuit, Basham can sometimes overpursue or react a beat late and has had issues with not getting upfield far enough when setting the edge in the past. He also needs to work on getting off blocks.He makes a solid play against the run here as he shows some good hustle in backside pursuit.Pass rushBasham took his game to the next level in his senior year, as he almost doubled the amount of total pressure he created. However, at the NFL level, his pressure numbers have been modest at best, even in preseason action.Basham has good initial burst and converts from speed to power well. In college he showed off some good pass rush moves, strong hands and an ability to bend the edge.However, at the NFL level, he’s struggled to replicate this success. He seems too eager to engage with his blocker and doesn’t seem to exhibit many counter moves once his initial move is repelled. Of the pressure he has created, much of it has come from being unblocked or beating a tight end.However, as noted, there have been flashes of potential. On this play, against an experienced starter in Jeremy Parnell, Basham’s speed off the edge is too much for the veteran.Basham has a pretty good spin move based on his college film, but he hasn’t used this much at the NFL level.TacklingBasham hasn’t been a particularly productive tackler at the NFL level with just 18 tackles in 23 regular and preseason games. However, he racked up 49 in his best season at Ohio.Missed tackles were sometimes an issue over the years, although he will usually wrap up and finish effectively. However, he will miss the occasional tackle, especially if faced with an elusive player in space.Coverage skillsBasham doesn’t have a lot of experience of dropping into coverage and it shows whenever he’s asked to do it. On this play, a teammate had to tell him to stand up prior to the snap and he made no effort to disrupt the slot receiver’s route while looking very robotic in his backpedal.He was targeted one other time last year, on a play where he dropped way off the line on 3rd-and-long and was able to get in on the tackle shy of the marker.Basham had five passes defensed in college, all from batting passes down at the line.Making reads/instinctsBasham has said he feels most comfortable in an attack-and-react style of defense. There is occasional hesitation in play-action and read-option type situations, but it looks like he did a better job of keeping his eyes up to see the play develop as the season progressed last year.TechniqueBasham has shown some ability to get off blocks at the NFL level, but this has mostly been against tight ends.One thing he does well is extend his arms to get some separation from his blocker http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/quincy-enunwa-jersey , but he doesn’t always translate that into a pass rush move to get off the block.On this play, however, he extends his arms well and displays some power to drive veteran Andre Smith off his spot, gaining an outside leverage advantage. This time, he does get off the block, using his right hand to free himself from Smith’s outside arm to complete the sack.PhysicalityBasham displays some good power off the edge and can be an effective bull rusher. However, at times, he will engage his blocker in a battle for leverage rather than making an effort to shed the block.His only penalty at the NFL level was a neutral zone infraction before a punt (on 4th-and-8).Special teamsWith Josh Martin on injured reserve, it would be useful if his replacement could show some potential on special teams and Basham has done that.In his rookie year, he had four special teams tackles in preseason and, although he didn’t carry that production over into the regular season, he did contribute this punt block.Basham has also fielded one kickoff and generated pressure on a field goal attempt.InjuriesInjuries were not an issue for Basham at Ohio, as he played in 50 games over four seasons. In his rookie year with the Colts, the only game he missed was as a healthy scratch, although he did miss a few practices through illness and heat exhaustion.During preseason, he had a minor knee injury, which was part of the reason he fell down the depth chart.Attitude/DemeanorBasham has admitted that, in college, he relied too much on his athleticism. He has found that, at the NFL level, you also need good technique and preparation to be successful.General manager Chris Ballard praised the work Basham had put in during the offseason to get in shape and work on his technique, but obviously this wasn’t enough for him to retain his roster spot.Scheme familiarityAs noted above, Basham is going to be most comfortable in four-man fronts and rushing from the left side with his hand in the dirt. With his struggles against the run, the most obvious use for him would be in subpackages as a situational rusher and that’s how the Colts used him in game one.Anderson’s own success in the new system could make him a useful sounding board for Basham as he integrates himself in the new scheme.ConclusionsBasham was an impressive college prospect with excellent tape, but has been slow to develop at the NFL level. The scheme changes in Indianapolis haven’t helped, but his main issue is that he needs to work on and improve his technique and approach.The Jets can afford to be patient with Basham, whereas the Colts were pretty deep on the edges and already have some development projects with two rookies brought in this year. Ultimately, this should be a fun project for Kevin Greene. However, it might be overly optimistic to expect any immediate success.
