Welcome to another addition of ‘Things Can Always Get Worse.’ You didn’t really think the disaster would be contained to Sunday, did you? After looking woefully unprepared and outmatched against the Bills, the Jets have placed three players on IR. Le’Veon Bell, Denzel Mims and Blake Cashman. Bell and Mims both have hamstring injuries and…
The prevailing thought at the close of training camp was, the Jets aren’t ready for the season to start. Today they proved that thought to be correct. From the opening drive, to the final whistle the Jets were outmatched in every conceivable way. The Bills had the most talent, far superior coaching and they even…
The NFL season kicked off last night in Kansas City. The Chiefs are still a juggernaut, the rest of the league is simply trying to catch up. The Jets aren’t tanking, but this season is about building for the future far more than winning this year. The Jets currently have over $30 million in cap…
Jets fans seem to be confident that this offensive line has improved from last year. I’m not so sure about that. I think, at best, it’s a minimal improvement for this year with a huge step towards future improvement. But for this year and this year alone? It feels pretty close to a wash. Let’s…
In the thralls of the oppressive August heat, NFL fans often look to one oasis for relief: rookie training camp reports. Fans from all 32 teams are chomping at the bit for any kind of sign that maybe their team has snagged themselves a future star. For the New York Jets, that hope has come…
Training camp is winding down to a close, so let’s just jump right into the observations. ASHTYN DAVIS Sam Darnold had a great day of practice. He was able to find success and move the ball downfield consistently despite the receivers he had to work with. Except for on this one play. Darnold looked to…
The offense had themselves a very productive practice. The offensive line still struggled in spots, but Sam Darnold and the receivers were able to find some success. No Breshad Perriman again today (knee swelling), and still no Denzel Mims, allowed three others to shine. Nate Hairston broke up a couple of passes, Bless Austin and…
Well, we made it to the fighting portion of training camp. It’s that time of camp where players are sick of the players they line up against every practice. The difference this time is there’s no preseason games coming up to give them a break from each other. It all appeared to start with Neville…
Once again, the defense won the day. But it was much closer than it was last practice and there were a number of promising moments from the offense. The offensive line still had their struggles, but they managed to hold up enough for the offense to find some success. It’s Saturday and I got NBA…
The first couple of training camp practices felt very weird. Yesterday felt closer to a normal training camp practice and today even more so. Why? Because nothing makes a Jets training camp practice feel more normal than the defense dominating the day. Through over a decade of covering Jets training camp, the most common theme…
