The first day of padded practice was just winding to a close. The team was preparing to head into the last period of the day when everything stopped. As reporters were watching the last play of the period it was obvious that something was off. No one saw exactly what happened, but someone was clearly…
Anyone that said yesterday’s practice meant that Zach Wilson was a bust must now say today’s practice means he’s going to Canton. They are both equally absurd takes. But at least strive to be consistently absurd. Wilson struggled yesterday. Everything was just a touch slow and a touch late. Today he was dealing from start…
Two days of James Morgan and Mike White running the offense was enough. On the first play of the day, the difference was crystal clear. Zach Wilson dropped back, launched a 40-yard bomb while the defender basically tackled Elijah Moore and it still wasn’t enough to stop the completion. “Yeah, even that one. Not the…
The Jets are ushering in a new regime. Excitement abounds. Just not as much excitement as everyone was hoping for. It still felt like the first day of camp, but the story of the day has nothing to do with what happened at Florham Park. Instead it’s talk about who wasn’t there and what hasn’t…
You might have heard: there was a draft last week. Now that its done, we finally have the full picture of what this class looks like. Without further ado, your New York Jets draft picks, class of 2021: Round 1: Zach Wilson, QB, BYU Round 1: Alijah Vera-Tucker, OL, USC Round 2: Elijah Moore, WR,…
The draft is over, talented has been acquired but the work is not yet done. Joe Douglas was able to draft a franchise QB, stud guard, dynamic play-making receiver and an explosive running back. Later in the draft, Douglas took chances on a bunch of talented athletes in the secondary/linebacker. But all of that still…
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the Jets used a pair of late round picks on defenders with impressive athletic profiles. The Jets clearly hope to strike gold by getting players have the athletic potential to play above their draft slot. You buy enough lottery tickets, you’re sure to hit the jackpot at…
With the 175th the 186th picks, the Jets have selected Pitt cornerback Jason Pinnock and Florida State Safety/LB Hamsah Nasirildeen, respectively. First, drafted a corner from Darrell Revis’ alma mater in Pinnock. Pinnock is a traits prospect who tested extremely well. He struggles with getting beat deep, but perhaps the Jets don’t value deep speed…
After trading the conditional 4th round pick received in the Alijah Vera-Tucker trade up, the Jets made two 5th round picks in rapid succession at 146 and 154. They selected… a pair of safeties, Well, not really. The Jets seem pretty solid at the safety position, and it’s unlikely either of these DBs will actually…
With their first pick of the 4th round, the Jets selected UNC running back, Michael Carter. My favorite description of Michael Carter came from a YouTube comment under his highlight video: “he runs like he’s skiing.” Carter is a dangerous slasher who has terrific stop and start quickness to shake tacklers in the open field…
