KRL
Looking at the Future; Becton, Williams, Perine & Others
The season is beyond over and for the first time in my life I’m rooting for the team to go 0-16. There is absolutely no benefit to winning any games, the Joe Douglas plan is now clear: – Secure the #1 pick – Fire Adam Gase and find the right HC – Ensure that Trevor… Read more
Game Notes; Why is Gase Still Employed?
I’m sorry I didn’t post earlier but the Jets committed another personal foul against me, “roughing the writer” and I had to recover. Who can be shocked that they lost (37-28) to a QB making his first start on a short week. A totally undisciplined mess of a game that continues to indict not just… Read more
Week 2 KRL Game Notes
No Richard Sherman, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Nick Bosa, Raheem Mostert, Dee Ford and Jimmy Garoppolo and it wasn’t even close. Heck, if the rest of the SF roster took the entire game off the Jets still couldn’t have won. In fact in the 4th quarter the Jets quit, the effort wasn’t there and there… Read more
Game Rewind; Gase Refuses to Run and Setup the Pass
Each week KRL will provide mid week thoughts on the previous game. In case you missed it here was the initial reaction that was posted on Monday (NY Jets Monday morning game notes). General Notes – The game stunk – It took 3 hours out of my life that I’ll never get back – They… Read more
Monday Morning Game Notes
Here’s the observation, an absolutely pathetic, putrid and trash performance by everyone in a Jet uniform. A totally fake final score of 27-17 hides the total no show effort: Special Teams – The first play of the game should’ve been a sign, Josh Malone returns the KO outside the 30. Decent field position, but of… Read more
Impressions of Camp via Media Reports
Due to Covid-19 and the new safety protocols, JetNation isn’t able to attend training camp in person this year. KRL put together these observations based on the 3rd party reporting that is being down from the main stream media reports. Here’s what I can gather so far based on how I know they operate: –… Read more
Under The Radar Thoughts
In this time with facilities still closed a couple of issues that are “under the radar” will impact how teams prep for the season: – How good are team’s IT and video departments? Have they been keeping up with the advances in the industry? Can they run the team’s operations smoothly with everyone decentralized? –… Read more
Darnold in the Rain; Other KRL Game Notes
In a game that was extremely hard to watch and had a pre-season feel to it, the Jets ended the season with a 13-6 win over BUF. A torrential downpour, odd play calls and some questionable plays that weren’t challenged highlighted an ugly game. The Jets end the season with a 6-2 second half and… Read more
Bless Austin Sits; Other Game Notes By KRL
In a defensive struggle that had a playoff feel the Jets put a major dent in PIT hopes with a 16-10 win. Fans and critics will try to minimize it but this team is now 5-2 in the second half of the season. Some will now obviously cry about dropping in draft position. But to me… Read more
Jets Fall To Ravens; KRL Game Notes
If you’re looking for the usual “the sky is falling”, “fire everybody” hot takes after a Jet loss you’re looking in the wrong place. The Baltimore Ravens are the superior team and on their way to being the #1 seed in the AFC. The Jets are not that. To me yesterday’s game was an opportunity… Read more
Will We Ever See Adams Again In A Jet Uniform?
It seems like Jamal Adams high ankle injury is pretty serious and with only four games left he may not make it back on the field this season. What’s going to be interesting to watch is the play of the defense without Adams. If they play at a respectable or better level will that put… Read more
Jets \ Raiders; KRL Game Notes
The Jets went all “Stone Cold” Steve Austin on OAK and dished out “a can of whoop a$$” as they dominated them in every phase 34-3. The Jets are now 3-0 in the second half of the season and have won three in a row for the first time since 2017. And to add to… Read more
