Jets \ Giants Game Observations
I had to be in the office early so I haven’t reviewed the tape yet so here are some game observations off the top of my head: – The #1 offense showed what they’ve been doing in camp. No huddle, uptempo pace allowed Sam Darnold and the offense to get rolling quickly. Darnold’s ability to improvise really fits… Read more
Jets Practice Notes 08/01/19; Darnold Continues to Impress
General Notes – Players in full pads and uniforms. – Practice ran 2 hours and 15 minutes. – First “fight” of camp as Kelvin Beachum and Tarell Basham (???) got into it during 1 on 1 drills on the far field. – Nice bounce back by the team as the penalties disappeared after a sloppy practice the… Read more
Jets Practice Notes 07/31/19; Crowder Returns
General Notes – Players in full pads, but not full uniforms as some wore shorts. – Practice ran 2 hours and 20 minutes. – Team is relatively healthy as only Marcus Maye, Bless Austin and Daniel Brown sat out. – The first practice after an off day was slightly sloppier as there was an increase in… Read more
Jets Practice Notes 07/29/19; Darnold & Bell Are Sharp
General Notes – Players in full pads and uniforms. In previous practices some players wore shorts. – Practice ran 2 hours and 15 minutes. – Credit to the WR corps for taking advantage of Hines Ward being in camp. Whenever there’s an individual period someone is asking him for advice. Coach Corner – Good bounce back performance… Read more
Jets Practice Notes 07/28/19; Qvale Injured, Defense Shines
General Notes – Players in full pads. – Practice ran 2 hours and 25 minutes. – Brent Qvale appeared to be seriously injured as he was carted off with an air cast on his leg. Coach Corner – A 1-2 minute “off the cuff” speech by Gregg Williams to the fans. Telling them how happy the staff… Read more
#JetsCamp Notes (7/27/19); 1st Day in Full Pads
General Notes – Players in full pads. – Practice ran 2 hours 10 minutes. – Unlike yesterday’s practice today didn’t have many “sexy” plays. With it being the first day in pads it seemed like the offense worked on installing running plays. Coach Corner – A very interesting “chess match” practice between Adam Gase and Gregg Williams. The… Read more
#JetsCamp Notes – Day One (7/25/19)
General Notes – Practice ran 2 hours and 10 minutes. – Players were in shorts & shells. – Elevated spy cameras are now being used to film the “all 22” view of practice instead of actual cameramen. – There are now two video replay screens available so coaches/players can immediately review a drill or play. – Surprisingly… Read more
Darnold, Herndon, Kearse & Pryor Step Up; Other Game Observations
For the first time in a year the Jets finally “stacked” wins with a wild 42-34 victory over IND. In a game where they were far from perfect on both sides of the ball the Jets were opportunistic and scrappy. If this type of game happened a few weeks ago they would’ve lost, so they’re showing progress as… Read more
Jets \ Broncos Game Observations
After an awful three weeks of football the Jets finally put together a complete effort and defeated DEN 34-16. A game that started with two “here we go again” moments (Bilal Powell fumble & Jason Myers missed FG) changed on the first of three huge offensive plays. Shockingly Von Miller, Bradley Chubb and Shane Ray were neutralized by an… Read more
Quarter Point Observations
After reviewing the first four games of the Jet season one phrase comes to mind, “defensive regression”. I’ve never been one to play the “fire the coach” social media game when a team loses. Changing coaches frequently (CLE) doesn’t allow an organization to progress and breeds instability. But if the nonsense on the defensive side of the ball… Read more
Jets \ Browns Game Recap
One word wraps up the 21-17 loss to CLE and that’s “disgusting”. Let’s count the ways: – It was disgusting the way the NFL network was waving the orange pom-poms before the game. – It was disgusting how this team continues to repeat the same patterns that lead to losses. Pre-snap offensive penalties that kill field position, idiotic personal… Read more
Jets – Dolphins Game Notes
A frustrating home opener as the Jets lose to MIA 20-12, basically the whole game can be wrapped up in one phrase, “missed opportunities”. Let’s take a look: Special Teams – A total turnaround from the DET game as the special teams couldn’t flip field position and left the offense in negative territory all day. – Lachlan… Read more
