The Jets-Houston Texans game on Sunday will impact the top of the draft standings, which is a pretty big deal for two fan bases desperate for hope.
The Seahawks’ worst season in a decade could be an absolute boon for the Jets, who could wind up with two top-10 picks for the first time in franchise history.
Do you know the last time the Jets drafted a Hall of Famer? It was 1971, running back John Riggins, who made his name for Washington.
It’s too bad the draft isn’t top-heavy with quarterback prospects; that would put the Jets in position to perhaps scoop up the best non-quarterback.
Unfortunately for the Jets, Seattle’s remaining schedule is one of the easiest — 25th in difficulty.
When the rookie quarterback went down with a knee injury, the Jets were stumbling and bumbling on offense.
Asked if he feels pressure to maintain that, Wilson said somewhat curtly, “No, of course not.
He took a lot of heat for the slow start — full disclosure: I was among the critics — but the offense is showing gradual improvement, no easy task with the quarterback instability.
They climbed 10 spots with three different quarterbacks, Mike White, Josh Johnson and Joe Flacco — a mix of inexperience .
It’s because of the about-face on the importance of a veteran quarterback and the knowledge that Flacco would miss his first two games because of COVID-19 protocols and his late arrival.
Defensive linemen Shaq Lawson and Nathan Shepherd have two apiece, with John Franklin-Myers committing the costliest one last week.
Robert & Rex: Coach Robert Saleh’s comment that the Jets have “an actual plan” when it comes to rebuilding the roster underscored his moxie — a breath of fresh air.
Weird trend: The defense has been a big disappointment — hardly a news flash, right? By hiring a defensive-minded coach, not a trendy thing nowadays, the assumption was that the Jets would automatically make a significant leap forward.
I found this fascinating: Since 2010, there have been 17 instances when a team hired a defensive-minded head coach to replace an offensive guy, as the Jets did with Saleh/Adam Gase.
“Of course, man,” Moore said on ESPN’s “Flight Deck” podcast.
