On offense most of them pinned the team back and destroyed drives. On defense the penalties extended drives and led to NYG points. Special Teams –… Read more
Jets \ Redskins Game Observations
Here are some quick thought on the NY Jets preseason game vs the Washington Redskins. -Sluggish effort in all phases as it seemed a week of travel, practices and fights carried over to the game. – A very soft defensive effort which allowed too many yards. The good thing was they were able to tighten up in… Read more
The Day After; Jets Game Thoughts
In the first “game” of the season it was good to see the performances/trends of practice carry over to the field. Now it is important to continue the building process as the team travels to Washington for “four games” (3 practices & 1 game). General Notes – The amount of penalties were reasonable considering the number… Read more
KRL #JetsCamp Notes 08/01
General Notes – Players in full pads – Practice only ran 2 hours 15 minutes because it was very physical with two live periods “short yardage” & “goal line”.

#JetsCamp Notes: Day Three 07/29
General Notes – First day of players in full pads – Practice ran 2.5 hours – Because Sam Darnold hasn’t signed yet some fans decided not to come, it was less than a “sell out” – There are no bikes this year so you have to search to find the players not practicing. Today Marcus Maye, Xavier… Read more

Jets \ Bills Game Observations
The Jets physically manhandled BUF in the trenches on both sides of the ball as they won their fourth game of the season. Let’s take a look: – The OLine for the first time since JAX opened holes in the running game. Solid pass protection made the offense “two handed” as they pushed BUF around all game. John… Read more
Short Term Pain, Long Term Gain
With the team committing to a rebuild, the “sting” of losses has been removed. If yesterday’s collapse happened in previous years I would be fuming. But this team needs a long term answer at QB and every loss (even though I don’t root for them) improves our draft position. Lost in the wreckage of the MIA game is some… Read more
