X Factor makes some good points why this is such a difficult match-up for Zach and why we should be concerned. https://jetsxfactor.com/2022/10/28/ny-jets-patriots-disadvantages-overcome/ X-Factor concluded: “This Patriots defense is perfectly constructed to continue exploiting Wilson in the same way he has been exploited over the past two weeks. If the Jets get the same version of Wilson we saw in Green Bay and Denver, it could be another ugly day for the Jets’ passing attack.” They based this on: 1. “The Patriots are playing single-high coverage on an NFL-leading 75% of their plays. They also lead the league in man coverage, playing it 49% of the time. New England’s cornerback group excels in man coverage. Jack Jones has allowed the second-lowest passer rating in man coverage among all cornerbacks at 26.2, while Jonathan Jones ranks third-best at 35.6.” 2. “Teams have been challenging Zach Wilson with a lot of single-high coverage. He has faced single-high coverage on over 70% of his pass attempts in all four of his games this season, whereas the NFL average this season is only 53%. In each game, the Jets’ opponent played single-high more often than their season average.” 3. “The exorbitant percentage of single-high coverage faced by Wilson is a sign that teams don’t respect him right now. They are more than comfortable with putting one safety in the box to help stop the run while daring Wilson to challenge them deep along the sidelines, as he is simply not doing that.” 4.“Single-high coverage is a problem for Wilson since it usually involves man coverage from the cornerbacks on the outside. Wilson currently lacks the confidence to challenge tight windows down the field – especially on vertical routes along the sidelines, which is supposed to be a weakness in single-high coverages... This type of coverage often results in Wilson denying his first read or two and then escaping the pocket when it’s unnecessary. He will look to try and make something happen off-schedule despite having good options within structure if he just hangs tough in the pocket and attacks one-on-one matchups on the outside.”
Funny was just going to post on that Lawrence against the Broncos 18 of 31 completion rate of 58% 133 yards 1 TD 2 Int Zach had a better day against them
I've seen enough, Wilson is NOT the QB of the future. 2x he lofts a ball under stress instead of throwing it away. He has zero feel for the game, he can't used very good receivers etc. Move on already
Embarrassing just throw it up there for anyone to intercept it. This isn’t BYU vs North Central Alabama Regional College
Zach has great talent, but absolutely no feel or awareness to this point. You could see this game coming a mile away, even if you held optimism that this team was different.
Zach Wilson should be benched. He is an atrocious player. He has cement between his ears. I want a new quarterback in 2023.
This. Jets should have drafted fields actually after watched bears and jets game side by side. I've been a supporters of Wilson for awhile. But this is horrible.
he should be benched. They have 4 QBs now. Why play the one who is playing so bad? It’s a disservice to the rest of the team that is playing hard
This is reminding me of Geno vs the Bills. Just terrible. He can’t throw short passes. He lobs it up for grabs and gets picked in a way that just feels like a dagger to the heart. He’s clearly playing scared and yet still trying to play hero ball but it’s really just idiot ball. He just had 20 yards of open space directly in front of him on 4th and 5 and threw a crap pass to Conklin instead. Another back breaking play. He took all the air out of the stadium today and the defense has a right to be pissed. Draft a QB and bring in a vet to compete. Team is to good to be wasted on a this dude.
Yeah but some nerd who runs an internet blog says Wilson is good so we will have to read about that all week. Nania, Papia, Santa Maria
I can’t defend him anymore. He straight up lost us this game. I don’t want to totally dismiss him after today but this loss is almost 100% on his shoulders. The first INT, I can live with. He’s trying to make a play. The last 2…I’ve got nothing. Inexcusable.
