Well I guess an interview where he states these things just wouldn't do. http://blogs.palmbeachpost.com/thed...nvisions-pat-white-as-part-of-qb-competition/ Vision of future at quarterback?
Ireland:” We have a high regard for Chad (Henne). We have a high regard for Pat where we selected him. I don’t think you can have too many good players at that position.
“There’s an unknown about Chad and there’s an unknown about how we’ll use Pat. But I don’t know that Chad Pennington is not going to be there. We feel good about having three … four … really good players at that position.”
What do you see as Pat White’s role?
Ireland: “Right now he’s going to line up at quarterback. There’s going to be a lot said about how we’re going to utilize him. We’re creative enough as a coaching staff that he’s going to enhance our offense in a number of ways.
“Pat is going to be a little bit of an element of surprise. You can put him out at receiver, you can put him at quarterback. You can put him at receiver and use Ronnie in the Wildcat still. There’s a lot of things you can do with great athletes. “
What pushed Vontae Davis above Darius Butler?
Ireland: I think the physicality. Both are great players, I have to say that. We really like Darius. But just felt that Davis fit us a little bit better. Felt like he was kind of a rare body for the position and I like his physicality at the position.
Was two CBs early on part of the plan?
Ireland: “We wanted to address it. I don’t think you go into it targeting a particular player. We had Sean (Smith) on our board in a good place and felt like that was good value to add two corners.
“They’re hard to find to begin with. And they’re very difficult to get through free agency. And they’re very difficult to keep, as we found this last year (with loss in free agency of Andre Goodman).”
Does the decision not to address WR mean you’re satisfied with the current group?
Ireland: “The draft is a funny thing. You stack your board based on value and how those players can help you. I feel like the receiver position is solid, but there’s also a possibility that we’ll address that in the next several days.”
What do you see in Sean Smith?
Ireland: “His skill set is rare for his size. We’ve just got to do a good job to develop that skill set. He’s got a little ways to go, but I think he’ll play pretty early.”
How much did the quality of AFC East WRs influence your decision?
Ireland: “You obviously aware of matchups in your division. Our philosophy is you have to win the division. But we like big corners, that’s our philosophy. We like big, physical corners.
“When you are able to match those things with the match ups in the division you feel pretty good about it.”
Did the Jets improve at quarterback?
Ireland: With (USC’s Mark) Sanchez? Sure they did. Good player. Great kid. Got a lot of moxie to him. Like him very much.”
