Nanker Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Leave no stone unturned. Well, at least Henderson showed up today. Looking forward to the return of your old Avatar tomorrow Yolo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldTimer1960 Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I hope that having Hunter try out is more that Rex is doing him a favor rather than a sign of desperation at OT. Maybe it was injury related earlier, but Hunter was not good in NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hunter is mentioned a lot in Collision Low Crossers --has not played in two years...Rex thought he had tremendous talent and had a really nasty temper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lmao. "When Hunter got angry, 'better bring a knife and a stun gun,'" said the security director.

Hunter is one of Rex's cronies. Rex has a Hawaiian style tattoo on his leg that he got years back to help convince Hunter to re sign with the jets.

Kelly the Dog Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 We needed a fourth OT in training camp besides an UDFA. I very much doubt Hunter makes the team barring injury. But it probably helps in the building a bully concept for the other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San-O Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Hunter is one of Rex's cronies. Rex has a Hawaiian style tattoo on his leg that he got years back to help convince Hunter to re sign with the jets. I'm starting to wonder about old Rex. The Jets were stacked when he got there, and they had success, and then they took steps backwards as I recall. QB selections come to mind and I wonder how much input Rex was given there?

26CornerBlitz Posted June 18, 2015 Share Posted June 18, 2015 Rex: I think Hunter will be signed It wasn’t an absolute, but according to head coach Rex Ryan is sounds like veteran offensive tackle Wayne Hunter, who came in on a tryout basis during Buffalo’s mandatory minicamp may soon be a Buffalo Bill. Hunter participated in his second straight minicamp practices with the Bills, albeit on a limited basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB selections come to mind and I wonder how much input Rex was given there? you wonder how much input he had on the QBs selected in the draft? Or the draft as a whole? Or personnel in general? With Tannenbaum or Idzik or both? Just trying to figure out your question. Edited June 18, 2015 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just trying to figure out your question.I am pro-Rex and excited he is here, but when Marrone came on board he was hammered around here for his cronyism, particularly with his coaching staff. Rex has done the same if not more, with both players and coaches, and you don't hear a word about it. I just find that interesting. If they wanted a tackle, there is certainly one out there that is better than a marginal player who has been out of the league for two full seasons. It likely has to do with Rex coming from an NFL team vs Marrones Syracuse cronyism Edited June 18, 2015 by FluffHead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It likely has to do with Rex coming from an NFL team vs Marrones Syracuse cronyism they needed a vet OT for camp and they got one, for vet min. Doubt he makes the team but if there's any injury at least rex knows what he has. I've never criticized any NFL coach for "cronyism", ever. It happens on every staff of every team and imo I don't see the negativity around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny part about Marrone's is, the two biggest names of the guys he brought with him from Syracuse were Hackett and Donnie Henderson, and Henderson is one of the best position coaches in the NFL now.
