Kearse, Anderson Form Dynamic Duo

Kearse, Anderson Form Dynamic Duo

Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse carried the same chip on their shoulder pads out on the field. They were the overlooked guys, two receivers who had to run the undrafted free agent route to the NFL.

Kearse arrived first, signing with Seattle out of the University of Washington in 2012. Anderson signed with the Jets out of Temple last year. Then Kearse joined the Jets’ cause at the beginning of September after a trade with the Seahawks. Anderson quickly clicked with him.

“He’s been a good mentor, somebody that’s kind of had a similar path to me, undrafted,” Anderson said. “He’s been around for a while and around a lot of good players and seen a lot of things. So you know, he passes that on to me.”

Kearse passed an idea over to Anderson along the way: They can be a terrific tandem. It’s an idea that doesn’t seem outlandish after what transpired over the course of the first 13 games before Josh McCown suffered his season-ending hand injury.

“I told Robby, ‘There’s no reason that we can’t be talked about as one of the top duos in this league.’ I believe in that wholeheartedly,” Kearse said. “We’ve just got to keep working.”

After the Jets dropped to 5-8 with their loss at Denver, the two were a perfect match on the stat sheet. Both were tied for the team lead in receptions.

Anderson owned a career-high 52. Kearse owned a career-high 52.

IN HIS OWN WORDS WITH DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR JEFF ULBRICH - Ulbrich breaks down Jets' defensive personnel

(Marcus Maye) can do it all. I would feel comfortable with him (at free or strong safety). He’s a guy that, to me, he can play deep, he can play the half field, he can play the middle third, he can do that and you feel comfortable with it. I think he’s got range, speed and athleticism. I think he’s got ball skills and instincts to be a deep safety. But I think he’s got enough size and girth and want-to and courage to play in the box. It’ll be fun to utilize all the things that he does. He can cover tight ends; he can cover some of the wide receivers in this league.

Jets hope initiatives will increase winning edge

Aside from adding as many good players as possible to help the Jets improve, coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas are trying to turn over every stone to find extra ways to give their team a winning edge, and two examples of this were announced over the course of the offseason, with the additions of a game management coach (Matt Burke) and the installation of an Athletic Care and Performance Department. Let’s take a closer look at these two moves and how they might help the Jets:
