Who stood out to you in tonite's game for Jets' ? Well....I've read all the comments & agree with most. This is my take on what I saw of team in game #1... OFFENSE : Jets' {Shotty} did a pretty good job of play calling...#1. All QB's played good. I like Clemens mood when he went back out for the his 2nd series after the fumble. The tv camera gave us a close-up of his face & how he was fastening his chin strap.... I could see the determination & how he was more ready for business. He was telling himself..."Lets do this " I liked that alot. Shonn Greene looked good. He's the real deal. Jets will have a better running game this season. WR's looked adequate....Don't seem like they will hurt team. All can catch the ball. Another addition can only help WR position. Britt Davis # 17 stepped-up & everybody noticed Clowney & his wacked-out TD dance... TE's....Besides Keller, TE's a work in progress. Brown shows good hands. TE's have a few more games to how there stuff. OL....We all know the starters are solid, it's those back-ups ??? One injury along OL & Jets offense is in big trouble. It seems like Mangold is starting to get nicked-up quite often now ??? Turner #75 is only dependable back-up at Guard. # 72 McCaskill showed decent speed for an OL....also maybe at Guard. OL has alot of work to do & a F.A. signing or trade is a priority for Jets OL depth. DEFENSE : NT/DL...Jets 3-4 defense is in bigg trouble when Jenkins isn't on the field, but most people realize this. Pouha is more prodductive lined-up at DE...IMO. Jets' must acquire a back-up NT before the season starts. Browns have quite a few over there.....maybe Frank Okam ??? Anyway... Jets have major need there & Rex is very aware of this. Matt Kroul #63...though undersized, but what a bull-dogg he is !!! Pitoitua, Zach Potter & my boy...#61 Ty Steinkuhler.....keep an eye on them. Devito & Sean Ellis better watch out. Especially Ellis & his big salary & low production. These youngbloods are getting down for theirs & want a roster spot. By game 3...we'll see the truth. On 1st downs...Jets best front 3 is Jenkins at NT & Green & Pouha at DE...IMO. Passing downs....Pitoitua & Potter {both are 6'6" or better} at DE's & whomever at NT.... LB's : #54 Cummings always plays well to me & is getting more of a chance now. All the vets looked good. Westerman & Murrell showed good speed. Westerman has good size/speed & will get more playing time as season progresses...IMO. CB's/S : Coleman made a couple of plays. Alot of blitzes by secondary...Lowrey, maybe he tried to do too much...give him a couple more games to get settled. Strickland seemed active. #33 Eric Smith is gonna make plays & show why Jets drafted him in 3rd round under Rex Ryan tutoring...IMO. Overall...I would like to see more speed added to the defense. Jets need to look for faster players...especially on defense. Faster LB's & CB's/Safetys. Watching Gholston...makes you wish Jets drafted anybody but him....Hope he proves me wrong !!!
We are going to really miss Pace for the first 4 games. Keller looked good Brad Smith had a few nice catches Sanchez to Clowney (OMG!!!!!!!!!!1111111111) Greene didnt look good
Kerry Rhodes and David Harris look like they returned to their form. Keller was amazing. Shonn Greene was good when his line game him any room.
Guys who stood out as being good tonight: Keller looked amazing. Sanchez and Clemens were both solid. Shonne Greene looks like he could be very good. Clowney looks like he could be the deep threat we've always dreamed of. Guys who stood out as being garbage: Lowery was awful. Someone else has to win the CB2 job by Week 1. Whoever our punter is wasn't so hot. Gholston was invisible as always. Our back-up o-lineman can not run block, which is big trouble if one of our starters goes down but, of course, we all knew that already.
Lowery wasn't that bad..he was bad on punt returns but the one play he was beat on was just a picture perfect throw that no CB could do anything about..I thought he looked good in run support too.
If Clowney can perform like this in the regular season, he can made retarded Twitter posts for the rest of his life LOL LOL
I know he played against 3rd stringers....but K.Cummings has a nice motor. He actually looked better than "Gladys the Wunderkind".
Greene looked good at times but also look at the O-line who was blocking for him. none of the RBs looked that good bc of them
clowney may be the wr we have been looking for. Sanchez.... nuff' said Greene looked ok but then again the oline was horrible for the run tonight keller looked great caught everything harris very solid britt davis some good catches wright did ok I think woodhead can do better where was jim leo.? rhodes very good on the blitz gholtson showed some promise but overall disapointing. reymond = worst player of the night
umm... i think that'll be lito sheppard. lowery started because revis was out. he's only the dime back at this point, behind strickland.
Good first impressions. But don't forget, we CRUSHED the Rams 47-3 last year. They are pretty horrible. Keller, Sanchez, Clowney, Harris, Pace, Scott, Leonhard, looked good to me.
this defense is going to hurt with no pace for 4 game against nasty offenses.... oh my god is this defense going to hurt.
Sanchez and Clemens looked great. Ainge looked good. Keller and Clowney were both outstanding Britt Davis was solid in his time out there Our running game looked atrocious Pace looked good but Gholston still hasn't shown any signs of life Lowery should never be set up as a return man ever Our 2nd string defense looked pretty worthless out there
Pace, Keller, Sanchez, Harris. Even Brad Smith showed some glimmer. I gotta give Clemens a little credit too for dodging that sack. He has a career in MMA waiting for him.
I agree with most of what's been said, but I'm surprised no one mentioned Rex's defensive schemes. I know, I know, that's not a player. But there were at least 3 times we had players with a free rush at the QB with no one blocking them. That's the shit I've been hoping Rex would bring to this defense. I love it.
