    Paying top dollar for FA's has worked out well for us in the past.

    It worked a hell of a lot better than whatever it is we are doing now.

    Okay, it seems it is a case of believing what you want to believe, regardless.

    I guess you missed the frugal contracts given to Davis and Lawson.

    yeah but lets not congratulate him too much, Douglas gave Carl Lawson $45 Mill to take him away from the Bengals. Lawson, injury prone his whole career, got injured (surprise) and the Bengals replaced him with someone better.

    Trey Hendrickson, you'll know the name after Sunday

    you haven't watched close enough. the play calls have been good. I reviewed every game except the last one. someone else on reddit also did the last game.

    I suggest reading this https://www.reddit.com/r/nyjets/comments/qhpqt1/oc_a_breakdown_of_zach_wilsons_snaps_vs_the/

    Thats not even me but the see the same stuff I do. I can do breakdowns as well if you want. It's not the playcalling though

    I've laid out my case numerous times on why it's the scheme and not the talent.

    I'm not going to continue going back and forth on it. I'm young but I've watched enough football in my life to know what the problem is and it's the guy standing on the sideline calling plays

    If the players are incapable of executing the play properly... then just how "good" is the playcall?

    And I haven't been critical of the playcalls per se... but I'm seeing an offensive scheme ill suited to the talent we have.

    And the rankings display just that.

    What kind of plays can you call when your offense consists of nobodies?

    I'd stop running our dwarfish running backs up the middle for starts... and run more slants with Moore & Berrios.

    That snippet has just been robbed from another article that is already on here somewhere in its own thread, it also expands on more than just Becton.

    I feel like I haven't seen the Jets run a slant since 2017. Maybe one I remember in 2019 that Josh Bellamy ran to start the year before he jumped on IR.

    Hope that's not true. That's a huge set back if we need another tackle. Really need interior linemen

    I apologize to Joe Douglas for harping all year that he finds a true back-up QB for Zach Wilson. I wanted a QB who could help Zach, but also step in and give the Jets a chance to win if Zach would get injured.

    I wanted a QB like.............Mike White. :)

    For sure JD took a lot of heat for sticking with Mike White. But you gotta give him credit here: Mike at the very least looks like a very competent back-up. Honestly, I think he surpassed even JD's expectations or Joe Flacco would not be here, but there was a moment in the game when Mike got hurt, and I was thinking it's a pretty good idea that Joe here. The bottom line is even with the 6th round pick spent on Flacco as insurance, if the end result is that JD got us a really good back-up for years to come with Mike and we never have to use this insurance, it's a win.

    Also, how about Lawson? JD spent a 6th round pick on him when Carl went down, and he steps up in such a huge way to get that INT at a critical stage of the game.

    I don't know if expectations had anything to do with it. If you had Wilson-White-Johnson before Wilson got hurt then you need White-Johnson-X after he got hurt, at least until he comes back. Flacco was available.

    Lost in the news here is the fact that the coaching staff knew what to do with White, which is a good sign. I was wondering if they knew anything at all.
