There are times when your friends want you to go someplace
Womens Darron Lee Jersey , like a movie that is really not your genre but you go because they are your friends.You get some average but expensive movie popcorn
thinking that the popcorn will be the highlight of the evening.Then once the
movie starts you find something unexpected, a compelling plot or an actor doing
his best work and you are glad that you went with your friend.The next day you
think back to the previous night and you find even more aspects of the evening
that were remarkable; you smile quietly to yourself, with the reminder that you
almost missed out on something special. You think about calling your friend to
thank him for the unexpected pleasure, but you don’t.Unexpected happiness is
exactly that; unexpected, you don’t want to press your luck.I was watching game
film of Will Grier, QB West Virginia, last year and had an unexpected pleasure
in LT Yodny Cajuste.Cajuste started 13 games in 2017 and was All-Big 12 2nd team
tackle asvoted by the coaches.He was coming off a lost season in 2016 when he
had a season ending knee injury in the first game against Missouri. I thought he
looked exceptionally good for a player coming off a major injury.With the Jets
in dire need for offensive line help and this being Cajuste’s 2nd season after
surgery I think another look is prudent.Yodny Cajuste6’ 5”321 lbsRedshirt
SR#55The first thing you notice about Cajuste is his size; he is a big man, but
he is still slender though the hips.He looks similar to Tyron Smith LT for the
Cowboys who has a slim waist for his massive frame.I think it is because of this
that Cajuste has superior agility for a man of 321 lbs.Here he is against
Virginia Tech.He gets out of his stance quickly but slightly over
sets
Womens Jason Myers Jersey , allowing the DE to squeeze by his left side.The left guard gets pushed back into the hole which makes the FB have to travel around
him and he misses his block on the ILB.The RB is now delayed from getting
through the hole and the ILB makes a hit; the DE grabs the ankles to stop the
play for a one yard gain.Cajuste got a little too far in front of his toes which
hurt his leverage, balance and power.Still, if the left guard made even an
average block the play would have been a success 4-5 yard gain.This is also a
trust block for Cajuste because he cannot see the play.He knows where the RB is
supposed to go but RB’s don’t always go where the play is designed.Cajuste must
trust that the RB will cut behind him and go in the opposite direction he is
blocking. This is the same play run a few minutes later, you will see the
difference when the left guard doesn’t get blown up.You see at the snap Cajuste
is able to immediately jump into the gap between the DE & DT. He does a
better job on the set and he is not too far out in front of his toes.He is now
in great position to wall off the defender, plus he has much better balance.He
also does a nice job of squaring his shoulders, bending his knees to increase
his leverage, creating a huge barrier between the DE and the ball carrier.He
also keeps his hands inside the defender, controlling him without holding.These
two plays have completely contrasting results but you can see on both plays
Cajuste is able to snap his hips around in an instant to get into position.That
technique can be taught but the suddenness of his agility cannot.This shows how
one weak link on the offensive line can have catastrophic results for the entire
offense.The O-line is the foundation to every NFL offense and tending to its
upkeep is essential.Here he is in more of a drive blocking mode On this play
Cajuste comes off the ball with good balance and is able to bend his knees to
gain leverage.The extra leverage helps as the defender is jolted backwards and
is torqued out of the play.The defender kind of bails on this play so you can’t
see the power drive blocking that you would like but the block is successful. On
the negative side you see Cajustere-gather himself before making the block.That
is a no-no in the NFL.He needs to come out of his stance and directly engage his
opponent without the extra movement.Still you can see the power and movement
skills that make Cajuste an intriguing prospect.These next two clips are the
same play from different angles to see the pass blocking of Cajuste.There is a
lot of good here in that the block is successful and maintained for a long
duration
Authentic Isaiah Crowell Jersey , so long that the defender gives up and tries the rush from another direction.You can see Cajuste quickly get into his
pass set with a wide base and hands inside his defender.The initial bull rush is
stymied by a solid anchor and Cajuste is able to quite easily mirror the
defender, controlling him all the way.You can see from the back view Cajuste
gets perfectly square to the defender, staying in front of him with short choppy
steps. The defender does a poor job by letting Cajuste get to his chest. Cajuste
takes advantage, showing his strength by pushing the defender away with his left
hand.He does a nice job but he begins his set with a base that is too wide that
will not allow him to use a long slide step should the defender try and race
around his left side. These are small technical traits that should be be
addressed by his O-line coach in the NFL.Summary ...Plus TraitsCajuste has an
NFL ready body with good power in his upper body and average lower body power.He
can enhance his power by using better lean when drive blocking.He has very good
feet that show plus quickness. He has the ability to make reach blocks and get
to the second level with ease.His hands are strong. He can sustain blocks once
he has a hold on his opponent.He shows a good punch that halts defenders in
their tracks and he is usually on target with his blows.He has good balance
especially for a player who is slightly top heavy, but that upper body gives him
the ability to absorb bull rushes and pure power that defensive linemen will try
to beat him with.He shows a good recognition of twists and stunts. On blitzes he
will block the correct player to protect the inside lane.He has the ability to
play in any blocking scheme but will probably be best suited in a power/gap
system.He can usually block well in space but is better at sealing rather than
pursuing.In pass protection he has ample size with the type of length that teams
look for.He has theskill set to play the left tackle position in the NFL early
in his career.He has a nasty side to him that his O-line coach will love and he
likes to impose his will on his opponents.Negative TraitsThere are no glaring
negative traits, but Cajuste will need to adjust his technique to be successful
at the next level.That being said, all quality tackle prospects must develop all
aspects of their games to be even an average player in the NFL.With the level of
sophistication and the athletic ability NFL defensive linemen possess, an
offensive tackle must have a high level of technical skill to compete.NFL DE’s
are smaller than the LT they face and are quicker
http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/nathan-shepherd-jersey , faster and more agile than their opponents.They develop a wide variety of moves,
so a quality tackle must be able to adjust to moves, compensate quickly and
think on his feet. Cajuste will need to work on his slide step to ensure he can
cover the edge against some of the Joey Bosa’s of the world.He will need to work
on balance issues; at times he can get too far over his feet.He will need to
work in the weight room to enhance his lower body to move some of the behemoths
in the NFL.His technique in all aspects of his game will need to be improved but
he has the skill level to compete now.I showed you clips from 2017 to see where
Cajuste was at last year. Hopefully I will get youmore recent footage (I only
have a little) well before the NFL draft.Cajuste has improved this year but we
will need to see him at the NFL Combine or Senior Bowl to get a better feeling
for where he will be drafted.I currently have a low 1st round grade on him but I
am not nearly finished with my assessment.Let me know what you think of
Cajuste.Jets 2018 Roster Countdown: Number 27 Darryl Roberts Next up as our Jets
roster countdown continues is Darryl Roberts.Name: Darryl RobertsNumber: 27Year
with Jets: 3rdProjected Role: Cornerback depthHis 2017: Roberts stepped into a
bigger role Week 3 after the benching of Juston Burris, and the Jets gave him
extensive playing time. The results were mixed. PFF held Roberts responsible for
28 catches and 422 yards in coverage on 299 cover snaps. The 1.41 yard average
per snap put him at 108th in the league, which puts him in dime back territory.
The signing of Trumaine Johnson will reduce his playing time, and Derrick Jones’
emergence might threaten his roster spot.2018 will be a success if: Roberts can
hold off Jones and do a solid job in the number four cornerback spot.Odds of
making the roster: It might be too late for him to hold off Jones, which means
he is battling for one of the last cornerback spots. 50/50
