Keys to the Jets season and other observations from KRL. – Offensively everything will revolve around the run game / run scheme.  And from actual game play (even though it was only pre-season) initial impressions are very positive.  The scheme has been creative, displayed a variety of elements and has been very productive.  Add in… Read more

The New York Jets beat the Green Bay Packers 23 – 14 to get their 2nd win of the preseason. The game was a total mixed bag: – The Jets won. – The offense and special teams took a nice step forward. – The defense was shaky stopping the run, allowed too many third down… Read more

It was good to have pre-season football back after a year absence. Most will dismiss it, but there’s nothing like live reps to see how the NY Jets roster is developing. Let’s take a look: Special Teams – This is my first time seeing Chris Naggar and I wasn’t impressed. His leg was short on kickoffs… Read more

General Notes – Practice ran 2 hours and 20 minutes. – They were in jerseys & shorts again, so in one week they’ve been in pads one time (rant over). – Josh Johnson was signed as the veteran QB he’s wearing #9.  He took no live reps. – Alijah Vera-Tucker didn’t practice, he was replaced… Read more

General Notes – Practice ran 2 hours and 20 minutes with the same breakdown that I saw on Saturday (25 minute warmup, 15 minute install, formal practice).  Also the first 90 minutes of practice is very teaching intensive before they start 11 on 11’s.  So that’s why you won’t see many “juicy tweets” early in practice… Read more

Who saw this win coming? Back to back wins against two playoff teams after 13 straight losses? I was furious after the Los Angeles Rams game as it cost them the #1 spot and a shot at Trevor Lawrence.  This week I’m actually proud of the effort, fight and enthusiasm of the team as they… Read more

An absolutely worthless, meaningless win that “improves” the Jets record to 1-13 has now probably cost the team a shot at Trevor Lawrence. I’ve never been so ticked off after a win, shame on the Los Angeles Rams for sleepwalking through the first half and then committing huge penalties in the 4th quarter that cancelled… Read more

You’ve got to be kidding me, that was way too close for comfort!  Henry Ruggs finally woke up and played like a #1 pick and bailed out the Las Vegas Raiders and kept the NY Jets draft position intact. The Raiders remain in the playoff race and the Jets stay in the lead for Trevor… Read more

Well I was totally wrong, after the last two close losses I was worried the Jets would win with Sam Darnold coming back from injury.  Another totally inept offensive performance and more regression by Darnold continues the “Tank For Trevor”: – I have never seen such an unimaginative run scheme in my life. No motion… Read more

Interesting dynamics going on in the last two games.  Two close losses (good) and within the contests young players are flashing (better).  On top of that I’ve been impressed with the fight I’m seeing.  There’s been no “loafing” and players seem dialed in looking to win the game.  Are these indications that a young roster… Read more

That was a close game but Jaguars fans got punched in the mouth as the Jets pulled out a last second loss to continue their quest to the #1 pick.  Let’s take a look: – It really stinks Mekhi Becton got hurt because he was putting on an absolute clinic at LT.  Totally sealing off… Read more
