Jets Fall to Lions; Game Observations

When a young team doesn’t play complementary football you get what you saw last night. An offense that doesn’t sustain drives or score points puts the defense on the field too often.  Which leads to fatigue and missed tackles particularly at this stage of pre-season.  Let’s take a look: – I’ll give credit to the staff for changing… Read more

Learn From History

After a crisp “game manager” performance by Hackenberg, the calls are starting about how it’s time for his education to speed up and how he needs to “air it out”. For once can people learn from history and stop rushing the process? From 2000-2014 this team has had three young QB’s become starters Pennington, Sanchez and Smith… Read more

Game Observations (Jets Top Titans)

Even though it was only a pre-season game here are some of the things that stood out after re-watching the tape: – OLine pass protection of the #1 and #2 units kept the pocket relatively clean.  The run blocking was shaky though and needs to improve particularly up the middle. – Robby Anderson regularly getting open in… Read more

Week Two Observations – By KRL

I don’t know about you but I watched this game in a high state of annoyance.  Thinking about how we haven’t beaten this team in THREE YEARS and by laying two eggs in 2015 it not only cost us the playoffs but maybe the division: – The multiple turnovers that gave them free points – The awful… Read more

Jets Lose to Bengals; Post Game Thoughts

Incredibly frustrating game to lose because the Jets dominated a good CIN team in the trenches on both sides of the ball.  Fantastic atmosphere generated by the crowd. Special Teams – The worst game ever for Nick Folk since he’s been here.  Missing a 22 yard FG and a PAT is inexcusable. – Lachlan Edwards was terrific and… Read more

Jets \ Eagles Post Game Thoughts

It was a painful game to watch but let’s take a look at some thoughts as the preseason closes. Special Teams – One bad flashback to 2015 with the punt return TD, but other than that the coverage units continue to look improved. – With a horrid offensive performance Lachlan Edwards got quite a workout and was outstanding… Read more

Thoughts After the Redskins Game

In any other sport when I watch during pre-season I never go “crazy”, but when it comes to football I always have to catch myself before I start screaming at the TV. I wonder why that is?  After watching the game again there’s a ton to clean up.  Bowles is probably going to turn the heat up this… Read more

Jets Top Jaguars; Game Observations

Great to have football back! It was only the first pre-season game but let’s take a look at what happened: General – Very clean game with only two penalties and no turnovers. – Good to see the rookies (Jordan Jenkins, Darron Lee, Jalin Marshall, Doug Middleton, Juston Burris & Charone Peake) take their camp performances into a game… Read more
