The Jets offense needs to show they're capable of throwing the ball. Last two weeks they've faced 9 man boxes all game. Once Seattle backs off, I'd pound the A and B gaps. The outside zone just hasn't clicked without Breece and AVT.
They won't face a stacked box with White at QB. They need to establish that they're able to run or Seattle will be blitzing all game and while White is quick enough to get some decent throws off under that kind of pressure he is also guaranteed to get hit repeatedly. One of the reasons he got hit so hard and repeatedly in his last two starts was that MLF was throwing the ball on most downs and that is going to get your QB hit. Can't do that again or we'll lose the White option at QB.
Sunday night I saw Seattle -2 on Draftkings. Early Monday morning I saw Seattle -1. When the Mike White news broke it was already Jets -1 and now it is sitting at Jets -2.5.
You know all other craziness aside I feel like for some unexplicable reason the forces in the universe seem to be trending the Jets way. The other teams wins/losses really helped the Jets this weekend Like a benign tumor, Zach Wilson finally can be cleanly gotten rid of cleanly and without argument remorse or concern after showing what he's capable of post-reset. Tua appears out for the Dolphins which should theoretically help the Jets chances in the last game. Mike White's ribs got cleared with likely represent our only realistic chance of pulling the chestnuts out of the fire. Doesn't mean it'll be easy. But its all in front of the Jets now. Gotta find some way to claw out a win in Seattle no matter how ugly it may be and no matter what it may take.
A good game by mikewhite AND the Oline is essential, but the D needs to help out with an INT or recovering a forced fumble or 2. A spy on Geno wouldn't hurt either.
At issue is the 3rd and 4th TE have ST responsibility even if its just blocking for FG's and extra-points. Strev cannot be ready to do that unless he's been training.
