well, if the goal is to put your young QB in lousy situations, kudos to Bowles for achieving that in spectacular fashion. If the goal is to see just how lousy his ST unit has been coached, I think he checked that box too.
Well, Bates had better show something. So far, he's showing himself to be a great QB whisperer but a middle of the road OC.
Bates not showing his hand...but rumor has it he will have Darnold run the Ole Statue of Liberty Play this season and Bowles loves the idea So far impressed with the 2 USC kids ..Len Williams making a comeback and Sam being Sam
And the result being that the Jets were unsuccessful on all of those plays surely must say something, yes? Ultimately preseason can't only be about doing things, it has to be about doing them successfully, or nothing has been accomplished.
yeah I don't see a role on the team for him right now, maybe practice squad? 3rd down back play Powell and West
Bringing back Bowles this year was part of the long-term plan...Jets wanted to secure another Top-5 pick in next year's draft. Just have to make sure that SD doesn't get hurt in the process.
I think the last time the Jets STs did anything exciting was when Joe McKnight (RIP, damn) blocked that punt against Dallas. I think I said Tony Romo for President for a week.
I remember a few years ago when the Jets offense was so appalling in the preseason and people made excuses about vanilla offense. Then the season started and nope, crap offense was crap offense. I think that was the Sparano (RIP) year.
Concur. If they could figure out how to give him another half second in the pocket, he's gonna be amazing. He's the real deal.
If the Jets seriously want to trade Bridgewater for whatever they can get (which I hope and assume is NOT the case) I'd almost think you might not want to put him on the field. Within reason nothing he could possibly do could make his stock any higher than it is right now and obviously if something goes wrong...…
Keep the starters in. Get him some more reps. He was victimized by drops, a ST fumble, and idiotic playcalling and penalties putting him in some tough situations in the shadow of his own endzone
He looked really good. Just pissed off at everybody else on the team. Coaching staff included The only person who was prepared to play today was Darnold
Of course the Jets are shilling tickets during HT. Jets Fan Hall of Fame, get a load and bite my monkey butt. Neil Glat, don't even get me started on this idiot.
