General Notes - First fan practice of camp and it ran 2:15 - Players still in shirts and shorts - Another new OLine technique, Keith Carter is tying elastic bands around their waists to keep them in sync when dropping back in pass protection - A couple of surprise special teams participants which could impact the final roster construction. The rookie RBs, Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis are built like LBs. With their size Brant Boyer (ST Coach) is using them on all the teams, which could allow a 4th RB to be kept. Also Allen Lazard was working on special teams, giving him more positional flexibility as he tries to secure a WR spot - Boyer started to work on blocking techniques for the drastically changed kick off rules. With players starting from a stationary position seperated by five yards they're being asked to do a lot in a compressed area - Another fairly even practice, as the offense started out hot early but the defense recovered forcing the offense to do pushups late Defense Notes - Started to see Sauce Gardner "travel" with specific receivers on a number of his reps. He also had a nice PBU on an Aaron Rodgers to Garrett Wilson pass - Another good day for the new DT Leki Fotu. Where in back to back reps he got a TFL on Isaiah Davis then followed it up with stopping Davis for no gain - Good day for Will McDonald during 11 on 11's. He blew up the edge on a running play stopping Tarik Cohen for no gain. And then later on he used his "Dwight Freeney" spin move to get into the backfield and force Tyrod Taylor into a rushed incompletion. McDonald also started to get reps with the #1s - Takk McKinley flashed off the edge as he tries to make the team. Getting a "sack" of Andrew Peasley during one rep and showing good awareness in another rep. As McKinley diagnosed a screen pass and forced a quick dump off from Taylor for no gain - Qwantez Stiggers may have had another INT today as he picked off Taylor on a 20+ yard pass. But I'm not sure he got his feet inbounds and there were no refs at practice to make the call Offense Notes - Garrett Wilson with the "sexy" play of the day as Aaron Rodgers threw a 50+ yard TD to him during the first 11 on 11 rep of practice. During another rep in a "3rd down" period Wilson caught another pass from Rodgers and ran away from everyone for a 30+ yard TD. Wilson almost had the "hat trick" but he just couldn't hold onto a 30+ yard pass from Rodgers over DJ Reed - Strong day for Breece Hall as he showed his speed hitting the hole on a 20+ yard "stretch play". And then showing good hands as he caught a 15+ yard pinpoint sideline pass from Rodgers as he scrambled out of the pocket - Allen Lazard showed up again as he made multiple catches and ended practice with a TD from Rodgers - Jeremy Ruckert started to get reps with the #1s and didn't disappoint. Making multiple catches in the middle of the field from Rodgers (one over CJ Mosley for 15+ yards). And earning a "helmet slap" from Rodgers as Ruckert recognized the defense was coming with a blitz and ran the proper route to pick up a 15+ yard gain QB Notes - Aaron Rodgers had a good day as the above notes on his completions to multiple receivers show - Tyrod Taylor had one notable completion as he threw a 30+ yard pass to Malik Taylor over Brandin Echols - Finally, Andrew Peasley could be a worth a spot on the practice squad as a developmental QB. He doesn't seem "skittish" as he runs the offense, he generates a nice amount of completions and his arm strength is decent. With Jordan Travis still recovering from his injury Peasley is taking advantage of his opportunity Standouts - Aaron Rodgers - Garrett Wilson - Jeremy Ruckert - Leki Fotu
It looks like I'm going to buy a chinese art scroll with "righteousness" as its symbol--what calligraphy meaning is your icon--I know its not righteousness
The symbol appears on a shrine at a meditation retreat center I frequent. Apparently it has several meanings, some of which are subtle variations of stillness or immovability. I play a lot of live poker in the LA area, and I have the symbol on my phone case as well. It's quite the conversation starter, as there are masses of people speaking Chinese as a first language in the card rooms. And they often don't speak English too well, so It's fascinating to hear them try to translate the symbol into English for me. I hear all kinds of things.
Interesting that the Jets are listing Reddick as a down lineman when he was listed as the Sam LB for the Eagles. There is a lot more money on the line as EDGE than a LB. That sounds like a situation that the Jets created.
Can you elaborate on this? True in a franchise situation that does matter--are you saying the jets somehow officially defined him as an Edge--how so? Also, if this is the case that they somehow had the authority to do that, it sounds like maybe JD did it to show good faith--which backfired spectacularly lol.
He's listed as EDGE on the depth chart. I suppose they could change that when they report starters on game day, which I guess would be more official, but it wouldn't be a sign of good faith to the rest of the team if they are playing around with position assignments for contract situations.
Connor said he didn’t notice Olu (that’s a good thing)…stonewalled JJ on the first rep of team drills. I think he will be fine in pass pro, the tape suggests he needs work in the run game…oh and he’s gonna be strictly a LT
I don't think it's any big deal. The Jets don't play a 3-4 D alignment any more. They're playing a 4-3. Reddick is a pass rusher. The Jets were never going to have him play LB and not rush the QB. He was always going to line up as an Edge, so why wouldn't they list him as a down lineman?

Nick Faria @Nick_Faria1720 Takk McKinley and Leki Fotu would’ve had a sack just now in team. Both have been excellent to start camp. #Jets 11:14 AM · Jul 26, 2024

Nick Faria @Nick_Faria1720 · Follow Braelon Allen continues to look impressive. Seems impossible with how big is, but is still fast enough to get to the edge. Also Tarik Cohen continues to look sharp early in camp. #Jets 11:16 AM · Jul 26, 2024
