After already breaking down two potential free agent center targets in Connor McGovern and Ted Karras, we move on to a third: Baltimore’s Matt Skura. Born: February 17, 1993 (Age: 27.0) Hometown: Columbus, Ohio High School: Kilbourne (OH) College: Duke Draft: Undrafted in 2016, signed with Ravens Free Agent Type: Restricted 2019 Cap Hit: $645K…
After going through a couple of free agent center options that could intrigue the Jets, we stay along the interior offensive line with the top left guard set to hit the open market — New England’s Joe Thuney. Born: November 19, 1992 (Age: 27.2) Hometown: Centerville, Ohio High School: Archbishop Alter (OH) College: North Carolina…
We continue breaking down potential free agent offensive line targets for the Jets, continuing with Patriots center Ted Karras. Born: March 15, 1993 (Age: 26.9) Hometown: Chicago, Illinois High School: Cathedral (IN) College: Illinois Draft: R6, 221st overall by New England Patriots in 2016 Free Agent Type: Unrestricted 2019 Cap Hit: $0.7M (4th year of…
After diving into the backgrounds of high-profile free agent linemen Brandon Scherff and Jack Conklin, we continue with a lesser-heralded option up front: Broncos center Connor McGovern. Center is as big of a problem as any spot on the Jets’ offensive line. The four players who have followed Nick Mangold — Wesley Johnson, Spencer Long,…
A couple days ago, I kicked off the free agent profile series with one of the top names on the offensive line market — Redskins right guard Brandon Scherff. Today, we stay along the offensive line, kicking it to the outside with Titans right tackle Jack Conklin. After a season in which their quarterback was…
We begin running through potential free agent targets for the Jets, starting things off with one of the headliners of the offensive line market — right guard Brandon Scherff. Born: December 26, 1991 (Age: 28.1) Hometown: Denison, Iowa High School: Denison (IA) College: Iowa Draft: R1, #5 overall by Washington Redskins in 2015 2019 Cap…
Overall, 2019 was a beautiful season for the Jets’ special teams, but there was one glaring issue — kicker. The Jets ranked 31st in both field goal percentage (67.9%) and extra point percentage (85.2%) in 2019. After Kaare Vedvik cost the Jets four desperately-needed points in their season-opening one-point loss to Buffalo, the team’s choice…
For the longest time, Jets fans never had to give the slightest care to special teams. The team was going to excel in that phase of the game. It was a given. Why? The legendary Mike Westhoff. Over his 13 years in New York, the Jets ranked top-10 in special teams DVOA eight times, achieving…
Henry Anderson burst onto the scene in 2018, picking up seven sacks, 16 quarterback hits, and a total of 48 pressures. The Jets rewarded him with a three-year, $25.2 million deal, locking up another piece of their defensive line. In the box score, Anderson had a highly disappointing second season with the Jets, as his…
I recently waded through every penalty by a Jets opponent in 2019 and charted which Jet was responsible for drawing each of them (if the penalty was not of the “unforced” variety). Here are the top five Jets who drew the most opponent penalties: Robby Anderson takes the throne by a mile, drawing three more…
