The Jets talent just blows chunks. On paper in June the Jets had a bottom third talent base. This was with Jamal Adams, C.J Mosley, Leveon Bell, Jamison Crowder, Denzel Mims as a high-drafted possible starting receiver, all the TE's who played well in 2018 and 2019 still looking good as opposed to trash, etc. Then the bottom dropped out of the current talent base as Adams was traded for future 1sts, Mosley decided to sit out the season, Leveon Bell, Crowder and Mims all got hurt, all the TE's regressed back to trash, etc. At that point the Jets had a bottom-feeding roster for 2020. A few good players, maybe even a few great players down the road but utter garbage for 2020. There's no surprise in this 0-4. Yes, it could have been 1-3 with a bit of luck, but there's no luck in the building this season. It's a good thing they are having hard, competitive practices now however the general result of hard, competitive practices is more injuries - which is why most NFL teams are restricting themselves to walk throughs and board sessions at this point alongside the weight room and other in-season training regimens. You have hard practices in camp to sort out the chaff and then you take it easy in-season because nobody can afford the injuries that come with hard pad-on-pad practices. So, when you hear the Jets are really grinding in practice just be aware that the grind stone is not where a successful team is going to be going into October.
It can be but I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that hard practices automatically mean more injuries. If anything it can help prevent them in the games because the body is braced for hits a bit more. Obviously the premise leads you to believe that it might, but I haven't heard of any practice injuries from this week? You're right, but considering it sounds like we had lazy cupcake practices all summer it's a refreshing change to hear there's some harder practices now. You can also create competition without creating dangerous hurt by scenarios.
Not a good, but GREAT post! I hear well be seeing less Herndon going forward, is anyone else bothered by this? Idk what the hell happened to this guy-any theories welcome-but allegedly he looked great in camp. And now we’re gonna replace him with Griffin? I know he had his 15 minutes last year, but I’m not exactly enthused by this. And regarding your practice comment, I hate to say it, but this also just might be them. There’s an old expression about talent not beating hard work when it doesn’t work hard. Well in this particular case I do wonder if a team being so devoid of talent can still lose to a team not working hard but just minimally. All that said, Flacco needs to play behind our rookie OLM this weekend and throwing to similar guys. We need to be in evaluation/get reps mode.
Will we get to cycle through our whole catalog of QBs ??! Looking forward to seeing what Morgan has to offer at the Jets extended training camp /proving grounds of greatness ..
There is literally no way to save gases job at this point! If there is, we are in big trouble! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
More evidence dismal results offensively from the offensive genius mind. Now that really stinks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Gase should have been fired during this mini bye. This team just continues to double down on bad decisions. If Douglas isn’t pushing for change, then he is complicit and part of the problem at this point. His terrible offseason certainly didn’t help either.
Look Gase was brought in specifically for Sam and he has failed that one most important job along the way he cost us a probowl player and we suck. It all starts with coaching. Out of curiosity I have madden took the same team with two coaches and guess what gase's team sucked the team that went one a run first offense made the playoffs and went 9 and 7 by controlling the ball. I am not saying Madden is true far from it, but it shows to show you if you coach to the talent and strengths this team could be competative
Simulations are never good for anything but playing and having fun. I played a game in '99, the name of which I can't recall but it was one of those be the GM then HC the team by selecting from a playbook with modifiable plays and letting the simulation play them out. I figured out early on that the system didn't think anybody could beat a certain fast back to the sidelines if he was on the wide side of the field. So my playbook all year was run to the wide side with him with another play - any play - in between sweeps. He got about 10k yards rushing that year and had 71 TD's in 16 games. The defensive AI was play to play not series to series and never caught on to the repetitive use of whatever that toss sweep was called. Of course I did that for one season and then stopped playing the game because it was a bad game.
2nd and 25 down 14 in the 4th and we get a draw from Frank Gore. You can't make this shit up. Bell: 12 carries, 53 yards Gore: 9 carries, 30 yards OFFENSIVE MASTERMIND
Why isn't Davis, Cager, Perine, playing more. Edoga is hot ass, Anderson needs to go. I would bring Flacco back though
