In what may have been their worst game of the year the Jets squeaked out a “butt ugly” 17-14 win over CLE.  Thanks to CLE ineptitude in leaving 23 points on the field and wasting timeouts the Jets overcame their poor play to fall into a three way tie for first place.  Other than a few key plays… Read more

The best way to describe the win over JAX is an ugly, entertaining roller coaster ride.  The Jet OLine was the major factor in this physical, “phone booth” game let’s take a look: – A scrappy, feisty and resilient effort because there were plenty of opportunities to hang their heads.  Is this team developing an identity? – Have… Read more

For once can people learn from history and stop rushing the process? From 2000-2014 this team has had three young QB’s become starters Pennington, Sanchez and Smith… Read more

Even though it was only a pre-season game here are some of the things that stood out after re-watching the tape: – OLine pass protection of the #1 and #2 units kept the pocket relatively clean.  The run blocking was shaky though and needs to improve particularly up the middle. – Robby Anderson regularly getting open in… Read more

General Notes – Players in full pads. – Practice runs 2 hours 40 minutes. – Matt Forte sits out with his leg injury but Robby Anderson practices fully. – In the special teams period coaches squib kicked to the “big boys” (OLine & DLine) to simulate recovering an onside kick. – The offense started to install… Read more
