Broncos vs. Jets: Who’s Dinged Up, Who Can Step Up?
The Jets host the Broncos in their second home game of the season Sunday at 1pm on CBS. After starting the season with a victory over the Lions, the Jets have lost 3 straight, falling to 1-3. The season is far from over, but it will be if the Jets don’t find a way to… Read more
Week 5 Jets Pick: The Denver Broncos Come to MetLife
The last few weeks have squashed my dreams like a football-field-sized nightmare boot from hell. My dreams were not even overly ambitious. In fact, they were fairly modest. I just had high hopes that the Jets would come in second in the AFC East. A wildcard berth would have been nice, but that wasn’t even… Read more
Does Drafting Offensive Linemen High Really Work?
For as long as people have been talking about football, the debate over whether or not early round draft picks really pan out more frequently that late round picks has been a focal point of conversation. Fans watch every year as a handful of draft picks wash out of the league or never come close… Read more
Pair of Young Jets Starting to Come on?
There wasn’t much good to take from the Jets 31-12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, but the contributions of a couple of young players who had previously failed to show a whole lot is worth keeping an eye on. Second-year tight end Jordan Leggett and rookie defensive lineman Nathan Shepherd each had solid… Read more
Did Todd Bowles Just Contradict Jamal Adams…Again?
For the second time in as many weeks, Jets head coach Todd Bowles contradicted a statement that was made by one of the team’s building blocks in safety Jamal Adams when discussing the team’s preparation for an upcoming opponent and some changes (or maybe not) that are going to be implemented. The first instance occurred… Read more
The Good, bad and Ugly From Season’s First Quarter
Well, Jets fans surely hoped for better than the 1-3 start Gang Green is off to this season, but Mike Maccagnan probably hoped he’d get better performance out of Trumaine Johnson when he handed him a bazilion dollars to be the team’s number one corner. Johnson has been one of several disappointments thus far, but… 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
If Jets Toss Todd, Only one Internal Candidate Stands out
The calls for Todd Bowles’ head went from a whisper to a roar after the fourth-year head coach oversaw what was one of his team’s worst performances in his time with the team in Jacksonville yesterday. Bowles’ defense came out and allowed Blake Bortles to complete fifteen of his first sixteen passes en route to… Read more
Jamal Adams not Happy With Criticism for Penalty; Fires Back
As if things didn’t go poorly enough for Jets safety Jamal Adams and the rest of the Jets secondary on Sunday, the safety took to twitter to respond to some criticism he received for an unnecessary roughness call in the fourth quarter. With the game all but over, Adams wrapped up Jags receiver Dede Westbrook… Read more
Jets vs Jags: Who’s Dinged Up, Who Can Step Up?
As the Jets prepare to take on the Jags at home tomorrow, here is a list of those who will not and may not play, and an analysis of who could step up in their place. JETS Out: TE Neal Sterling (concussion), WR Charone Peake (hamstring) Questionable: CB Buster Skrine (knee), S Doug Middleton (knee/finger), S… Read more
Jets vs Jags: What To Watch For
After a ridiculously fast and hot start to the season against the Lions, the Jets faltered against the Dolphins and Browns to fall to 1-2. There will be plenty to watch for Sunday, and here are a few things to keep in mind Sam Darnold: Let’s start off with the most obvious in Darnold. He’s… Read more
Think the Jets O-line is Among NFL’s Worst? Think Again
If you hadn’t watched a single snap of Jets football through their first three games of the 2018 season and you’d only judged the team’s offensive line by fan reaction, you’d probably think about sending flowers to Sam Darnold’s hospital bedside with a “get well soon” card. Despite parroting cries of Darnold “getting killed back… Read more
