@jack_sperry I think Downs helps a lot in mos situations but doesn't solve the issue itself. When everything stalls you know, Rodgers is going to throw a fade to DK and he's going to drop it probably
@jack_sperry I don't think performance wise Rodgers is holding the offense back it's rather his operation/mind and the roster construction doesn't help. Rodgers likes to force the ball to his WR1s but DK isn't Davante and he keeps pushing the ball to him like he is.
Aaron Glen is not having a great season as head coach of the New York Jets but to think he’s the reason for 2-6 would be stupid. The Jets are developing young offensive talent with a 36 y/o journeyman QB who has limited mobility and escapability (no slight to Geno who’s been good for us, just stating facts). They have a major hole at center. Their most talented defensive player is a rookie. With a few exceptions the rest of their defense consists of stopgap players. Ask yourself how many Jets defensive players would start on most other NFL teams? Bailey, TSweat AZ, Minka maybe, who else? We love DD but face it he’s 37. Also this team has been riddled with injuries on both sides of the ball. Now that the offense is finally getting healthy the defense loses two of its best players in Bailey and TSweat. This is on top of guys brought here to bolster the defense like Enagbare, Ossai, Onyemata, Minka having all missed TONS of time with injury. AG hasn’t forgotten how to coach defense he’s been snake-bitten with bad luck. I believe by the time the Jets roster is ready to contend two years from now, AG will have grown into the position. As long as the players don’t quit on him the Jets should allow the AG/Mougey tandem to see their vision through.
@bsmokes@jetsfan217@JakeAsmanShow I mean yeah, Myers came as a backup because of his connection with Fields, they let him fight for the starting job and he lost it to Joe. AVT got injured, they moved Joe to the guard and it all stayed in status quo since then.🙃
@jetsfan217@bsmokes@JakeAsmanShow I'm not sure anymore, it probably was. But it was a 40 million dollar contract and if I'm not wrong I think Fields' dead cap hit is bigger than anyone's on the roster by some margin
@bsmokes@JakeAsmanShow Outside of Fields(again hunting for upside), there weren't any terrible moves, it's just I don't think they made true moves to improve the whole defense in the belief that some players are good enough and that might have cost the Glenn the job
@bsmokes@JakeAsmanShow That's true, I just used him as an example as he was the highest paid signing. I mean I understand not wanting to spend money this off-season but they haven't sorted the issues with pass rush and Stephens can't simply be your CB1. This defense collapses on third downs regularly
@DWC_1985 I think only saving grace for him now is to straight up start pulling upsets. Big wins showing that he deserves the chance because it's not only the results,it's the play and decisions. Mougey too, I like him a lot,but he keeps searching for budget-options with upsides in players
Jets defense is ultimately untalented at key positions. Brandon Stephens is not a CB1. And outside Bailey, who also struggles at times, no one can consistently create pressure. Can't pressure a QB + can't cover = bad defense
Mario Hezonja on waiving off Donovan Mitchell:
“I told him you’re not supposed to bring the ball up under pressure. I waived JT out to go 1-on-1 against my mismatch. I spoke to James and Donovan, there’s 5 of us on the court and you need to read those mismatch situations.”
