yeah the whole offense needs work. The line right now is not performing well. I really like McKnight returning punts and kickoffs. He does look explosive on returns. Out of everyone returning right now he's the best I've seen. lol damn McKnight just fumbled....
I can see the jets running the ball 54% of the time this year. I agree that this isn't really anything to worry about since they just line up and play. I wonder if that has to do with the line play. They'll be ready for the Ravens. At least the defense will.
lol Brunell took too many steps back because the 2nd string offensive line can't stop Washington's Defense. Fumble. Game over for the Jets, we lose again. *sigh* I know it is pre-season but honestly we are playing like shit.
Veteran players don't give a fuck about preseason games. I won't be worried about Woody until I see him struggle when the games actually counts.
I do not know about that. The team is averaging 12 points a game after all the superbowl hype. This is against teams that are not that strong; and not counting that they are playing against backups. I know the starting defense is solid, after that I do not feel comfortable right now.
There are two groups that care about preseason; fans, and players on the verge of being cut. I'd like to see more, but I'm not too worried yet.
"You play to win the game." "Hello!" Herm Edwards. I know it is preseason but the starters on offense need to get going. We start off the season with Baltimore, New England, then Miami.
I almost feel like we wasted a 2nd round pick on Vlad. D'brick, Faneca, and Mangold were the three starters for the Pro Bowl last year and we are just not seeing this new offensive line gel well together thus far. Yeah, its preseason, but its not like these guys aren't trying. Damien Woody is indeed looking a step behind and seemingly can't keep up with these quick pass rushers around the edge.
We need to pick up someone ASAP we will not make it long with our Oline Woody is getting old and looked very bad and LG i dont know what to say. Our line wend down from last year alot!! Woody knows he fucked that one up!
Jesus.. some of you guys are such downers. Let me get this straight.. Ducasse was a waste of a pick, a total bust, after exactly 0 career games. D'Brickashaw isn't nearly as good without Faneca next to him. Woody is went from dominant to washed up since the end of last season and now RT is an extreme weak spot. What's the over/under on when someone is going to post that Mangold's contract has already gone to his head and he isn't the player he was? I think some of you need to realize that the Jets are not game planning in the preseason. They aren't watching film and preparing for what the opponent is going to do. The Skins were clearly coming with some exotic blitzes and it looked like there were some communication issues, especially with the rookie Ducasse in there.
I agree. We really didn't plan much at all. I still don't like seeing Sanchez forcing throws into double coverage. That has nothing to do with game planning, that's just a bad decision. He didn't have very good blocking tonight though. Still not looking good, but we'll see when they start game planning. I'm back to worrying every time he drops back to pass.
That's a favorite quote of mine but here's a brief list of reasons why the prospect of taking the preseason seriously is rather dubious: 1) Coaches hold back the vast majority of their best plays in the preseason 2) Coaches don't gameplan for their specific opponents in the preseason 3) At any given time, there's a miss-mosh of players on the field. Even when it's supposedly "1's vs 1's" or "2's vs 2's", if you look closely, you'll notice that a lot of times it ISN'T. Key veterans are often held out of preseason games for precautionary reasons, when if the game actually meant something, the player would certainly be out there. (For example, Donovan McNabb tonight or Nick Mangold Vs. Carolina) 4) Veteran players simply don't play with the same intensity during the preseason that they play with during the regular season. They know the games are meaningless and generally tend to just go through the motions. 5) It is a statistical verity that the preseason record of an NFL team has no meaningful correlation to that same team's regular or postseason record. There are teams that go 4-0 and don't make the playoffs and there are teams that go 0-4 and go to the superbowl.
I understand the difference between preseason and regular season. All your points are valid. However, when your starters are in there for a few series they need to play with intensity and purpose (I am talking just for the duration that they are in the game). Also, we will be relying on some of those backups to help this team win games. I am just not noticing any explosion from our offense. I certainly hope they can suddenly turn it on in a couple of weeks. Besides Buffalo, the first six weeks of the season will be a tremendous test for our Superbowl bound team. J-E-T-S, Jets..Jets..Jets!
I'm not worried, come talk to me when he gets beat consistently when the games count. That being said he has a tendency to make some mental mistakes at times but Woody has been pretty good for us while the other guys have gotten a lot of the hype he has been steady. Now Sanchez locking onto guys still scares me, and fumbles scare me. I don't care about the score but turnovers bother me preseason or not. Especially those in the red zone. Mark needs to learn that 3 points are better then a turnover. We want to see TD's but turnovers lose games. Plain and simple.
Woody was not a dominant RT tackle last year. He was good. That's the first item. The second item is that there usually IS some game planning for the 3rd preseason game. The preseason is for the CS too, and week 3 is when they begin to get ready for the regular season, and there is "some" game planning. That was even referred to in Hard Knocks this week, when the O was making excuses for the lousy game against CAR. You play the way you practice. Every coach says that. Players often ignore it, especially the vets. Yes, it is only preseason. But when some vets look bad in preseason, I don't think that it is a good sign. Tomlinson hasn't played preseason games for 5 years, but he's out there with his A game. So is Richardson. Some players on this team might be getting a wee bit too comfortable. It's more than that... let's not get Sanchez killed just yet, eh?
I hear you. I would have liked to see the Jets play with a bit more intensity and look much cripser on offense. Having said that, I just have watched NFL football long enough to know that, in the preseason, this simply can't be relied upon. Btw, I believe Shanahan gameplanned for the Jets, while Rex admitted going in that he would not be gameplanning for the Redskins
