With news of Jets guard Brian Winters likely to miss the remainder of the pre-season as he makes his return from an injury-plagued 2017, the question has to be asked.  Why was Todd Bowles continuing to trot the right guard out on to the field last season after he’d torn an abdominal muscle in week… Read more

Sam Darnold is composed.  Jets fans?  Not so much.  Having played fewer than three quarters of pre-season NFL football as a rookie quarterback out of the University of Southern California, and despite an off-season of hearing the words “patience” and “don’t overreact” uttered countless times by Jets fans, the poise displayed by Darnold has had… Read more

It happened during a series of plays… Read more

In an interview from earlier this off-season that surfaced recently, Jets second-year safety says that one thing he noticed during his rookie year was that some of his teammates “wanted to do the bare minimum”.  A big statement from a young player, but whose to say he wasn’t right? https://twitter.com/andy_vasquez/status/1026946670272110592 When asked if he thought… Read more
