Football is back and it feels weird. All of it feels weird. Face scans, temperature checks, reporters, all in masks, standing socially distanced on the sidelines. Weirdest of all? I had to put on a belt for the first time in six months. Everything felt weird except for the only thing that really matters, the…
Jamal Adams finally got what he wanted because the Seahawks gave Joe Douglas what he wanted. Adams successfully whined his way to a new team, but now Douglas can avoid having to pay the safety a big-money, long-term contract right as the salary cap is going to take a huge nose-dive. And he got two…
The benefit of a new GM doing his first draft for a team with holes throughout the roster is that GM can stick to the best player available strategy and still fill needs. Joe Douglas may have strayed from the BPA strategy (I certainty haven’t seen his big board), but he certainly filled some needs….
Joe Douglas wisely used his first two picks on offensive players that can help Sam Darnold. One can argue he probably should have continued that theme even more, but Douglas decided to use the third round to bolster the defense. With their first third-round pick the Jets took free safety Ashtyn Davis from the University…
After all the talking and waiting, the New York Jets stayed put and took an absolute giant of a man with freakish athletic ability. They desperately needed to add an offensive tackle to anchor the offensive line and that’s exactly what they did by selecting Mekhi Becton from Louisville. At 6’7″, 363 lbs. with 35…
It’s time for us to play matchmaker. I’ve got this friend named Sam. He’s a hopeless romantic who loves long walks on the beach, Thai food, and making accurate throws outside of the pocket. He’s just looking for someone he can connect with on deep crossing routes over the middle or on a shared affinity…
In the year of our Lord 2019, no quarterback attempted more passes under pressure than Sam Darnold. After the departure of Robby Anderson, his cast of receivers are currently among the worst in the entire NFL, with guys like Breshad Perriman and Vyncent Smith being counted on to contribute in starring roles. And so, it…
Robby Anderson is a free agent for the first time in his career, and it’s very possible that he leaves the Jets to sign with another team. Anderson’s potential departure has hung like a shadow over the hearts of the Jets fanbase, as he’s gradually become one of the most popular players the team has…
Covering a first-time GM is always tricky, there’s a lot of guesswork and assumption making. ‘Well, the team has these holes so let’s connect all the available free agents at those positions to them.’ Or, ‘well this team is really bad so they’re going to need to spend money.’ But it’s not until said GM…
The New York Jets got their third win of the season, and second straight win, yesterday over Washington. A two game winning-streak is great, but the Jets are going to need to beat a team outside of the NFC East before expecting fans to be impressed. Regardless of the competition, wins are wins and this…
