- Brandon Marshall
- Offensive Line
- Playing from behind
We all know there are no moral
victories in the NFL. Nothing really good came out of this game. Maybe Devin
Smith showed some real upside and Jeremy Kerley made some plays but other than that the Jets looked
bad.
Brandon Marshall can be a beast on
offense. He is one of the most athletic players the Jets have had in a long
time. With that said, something is missing in his game. He gets open a lot but
does not catch as many passes as he should. The lateral play was beyond words.
And as Marshall said himself, “It was the worse play in the history of the
NFL.” As good as he has been, he has to step up and make more
impact plays on offense. And he can!
The offensive line is in a bit of disarray. I don’t buy the fact that
with Chris Ivory the running game would have done a lot better. Bilal Powell
and Zac Stacy are very capable backs. Too many times the OL wasn’t keeping the
pocket long enough for Fitzpatrick.
They are not winning the point of attack. Mangold is getting pushed back
like never before. When Willie Colon went down and Brian Winters took his
place, I knew we were in trouble. Winters was responsible for being pushed back
on one of the tipped passes.
This Jets team does not have the make-up to come back from three
touchdowns. If things click, we may get there but right now if the Jets go down
by more than one touchdown, it is not good news.
I
didn’t think Fitzpatrick played as bad as everyone said he did. He was under
too much pressure most of the game. And on one of the interceptions, Devin
Smith should have fought it off. He is a rookie (and he looks real good) and
like most rooks, hasn’t been schooled enough on his responsibility when he
can’t make the catch.
The defense played well enough to win but in the first half there were
too many mistakes and not enough 3rd down stops. Darren Sproles hurt
us!
Green Tidbits:
Jeremy
Kerley has got to watch that old YouTube clip of Bill Parcells teaching Dedric
Ward how to catch punts.
Number 47
Kellen Davis has got to protect sideline on punts. His miscue aloud Darren
Sproles to get going.
Todd,
you are 0-3 on challenges already!
Say what
you want about Bilal Powell but he never gave up on that Sproles punt return.
He was the same way on Geno’s “pick six(s).”
He is
always the last guy hustling to the goal line trying to make the saving tackle.
We need
to see more of Devin Smith.
Why was
Chris Ivory activated?
For that
matter why was Geno Smith sctivated?
Great to
see #55 Lorenzo Mauldin back on the field!
All of a
sudden if Colon is out, our OL looks weak.
Off to
London! Tally-ho!
