Well the first game of the season is over and the Jets are tied for first place in the\u00a0division. Hey, I might as well find the bright side in this situation. So with that said let’s talk
\nabout the good from yesterday. Anybody, anybody? Seriously, how can you not like the running\u00a0game and this three headed battering ram. Chris Johnson continues to impress and boy can he\u00a0accelerate off of those screen passes. Chris Ivory, what is there to say? He is so beefy at the\u00a0line and when he breaks through has some speed as we saw to take it to the house. Our
\ndefense also played well for the most part. How about that Coples hit, that was SportsCenter\u00a0worthy. Calvin Pryor continues to impress as well and was just off on an interception that he
\nprobably would have taken in for six. Antonio Allen is just plain physical and that will go a long\u00a0way in helping this secondary.<\/p>\n
Now for the not so good. I hope we can chalk this all up to the first game of the season\u00a0and the starters still getting into a rhythm. On the first drive of the game there were 3 penalties
\non the offensive line. That’s unacceptable and the quickest way to kill any drive. Penalties\u00a0continued to hinder the Jets all day. Willie Colon was collecting penalties it seemed and Eric
\nDecker cost the team a first down on his holding penalty. For a young quarterback and a\u00a0developing offense these penalties will come back to hurt this team if they don’t get a handle on
\nthem now. Geno Smith did do some good things yesterday but I still can’t buy off on him yet.\u00a0He still had two turnovers. One, the interception to Woodson was a nice play but he was baited\u00a0into making it and has to be smarter. As for his scramble inside the 5 where he fumbled the ball,\u00a0he has to be much more aware of what’s at stake. His team was about to score or at worst get\u00a03 points. His lack of ball security and sliding cost his team points. This was against a bad team.\u00a0Next week the Jets start a string of games against NFL teams with Pro-Bowl quarterbacks such\u00a0as Aaron Rodgers and Matthew Stafford. The play from yesterday will not get the job done\u00a0against these teams.<\/p>\n
Another take from yesterday is how about the AFC East? Three teams won and the only\u00a0loser was New England. Now the Patriots will be there in the end but the Bills were impressive
\nagainst the Bears and the Dolphins wore out the Patriots in the second half. These teams could\u00a0be tougher than expected as well. This team needs to play smarter on offense watching the\u00a0penalties and not turning the ball over. What do you think?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
