Antwan Barnes is coming back from an injury and the Jets signed Jason Babin as a pass rushing specialist. Barnes was also placed on the PUP list. Rex Ryan sheds some light on exactly where Barnes stands as the Jets get ready to start training camp.<\/p>\n
Well, Antwan will be on PUP right now.\u00a0 We are going to be smart with him.\u00a0 In fact he passed his conditioning test, Willie Colon also will be on PUP and he passed his conditioning test. We\u2019re just going to be smart and we\u2019ll see how it plays out.\u00a0 The thing that I\u2019m real excited about, bringing in Babin, you mention Antwan Barnes and things, we want to have depth at every position, but there are some in particular.\u00a0 When you have that kind of depth at the defensive line, and your ability to rush the passer and roll guys in.\u00a0 You kinda saw what it looks like, the blue print for it when the Giants won their Super Bowl, Seattle and things.\u00a0 You have to be able to rush the quarterback in the fourth quarter and certainly, I think on paper we certainly improved ourselves with that signing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Rex was asked if he is concerned about Barnes.<\/p>\n
Well a little bit, we\u2019re concerned with it, but (not too concerned), like I said he passed his condition test. He has worked awful hard. He had a little sickness or something today, but I think he\u2019s where we want him to be and things like that. Anytime you\u2019re coming off a major knee (injury), until you get out there and you\u2019re playing football and things, you\u2019re really not 100 percent sure. But we will be smart with this decision and when we\u2019re going to play Antwan and things like that. Will this be a longer PUP period than Willie Colon? I would anticipate that, but again we\u2019ll really lean on the trainers and the doctors.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
