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 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…
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?

Florham Park, NJ – After an off-day yesterday, the Jets were back out on the practice field and they were with Jamison Crowder. Crowder tweaked his foot during Monday’s practice, Jets Twitter immediately started freaking out only to find out he wouldn’t even miss a single practice. He was a full participant in today’s practice and…
Florham Park, NJ – And on the third day, the Jets put the pads on. The pads came on and the hits immediately followed. The day started off with a heavy dose of running plays before they settled down into the rhythm of practice. 1) Sam threw his first interceptions of camp – The offense still won the…
Florham Park, NJ – Football is Back! The Jets wrapped up their first day of training camp and we know you want these observations. No need to wax poetic, let’s get straight to the good stuff. 1) Sam’s new best friend – We always hear about how a tight end is the quarterback’s best friend. Sometimes you’ll…
As we sit in the off-season, watching the team go through spring practices, we look at where we are. The biggest point of discussion so far has been the coach, Adam Gase. What has he really been up to? Will he make a positive impact on the team? Will he divide the locker room like…
