The New York Jets officially kicked off training camp in Florham Park, NJ. JetNation was there, we are planning on being there every day throughout training camp. Here is the official camp report by KRL for day one.<\/p>\nThe New York Jets officially kicked off training camp in Florham Park, NJ. JetNation was there, we are planning on being there every day throughout training camp. Here is the official camp report by KRL for day one.<\/p>\n
– Players were in shells & shorts<\/p>\n
– Practice ran 2.5 hours<\/p>\n
– With the low expectations for the team there were fewer media members than last year.\u00a0Also there were no “selected” season ticketholders in attendance.<\/p>\n
– Frustration from Karl Dorrell (WR coach) early on as there were too many drops.<\/p>\n
– Josh McCown was first in the team periods but the reps seemed even to me between him and\u00a0Christian Hackenberg.<\/p>\n
– Robby Anderson doesn’t seem to be noticeably bigger but his ability to run routes over the\u00a0middle of the field is improved. The problem that stood out today was his difficulty getting\u00a0off the line against physical press coverage. Morris Claiborne gave him fits all day.<\/p>\n
– Watching Claiborne you see why he was a top 10 pick, extremely physical in the five yard\u00a0area and able to mirror receivers down the field. He gave Anderson fits and manhandled a\u00a0couple of the other receivers throughout the day. In team periods he had a “pick 6” of\u00a0McCown and he almost started a “fight” when he took Anderson to the ground, which is a\u00a0no-no this early in camp. The question is can he stay on the field?<\/p>\n
– Ardarius Stewart and Chad Hansen both practiced but it didn’t seem like they got any reps\u00a0in team periods. I wonder if they’re behind in the offense because they missed time during\u00a0OTA’s.<\/p>\n
– With Stewart & Hansen not getting reps young receivers such as Frankie Hammond, Myles White,\u00a0Gabe Marks and Chris Harper got playing time. And they had difficulty getting open which led\u00a0to coverage “sacks” during team periods.<\/p>\n
– Lucky Whitehead got reps immediately as a returner and his short area quickness reminded me\u00a0of Leon Washington. Hopefully that can continue because the team has been woeful in the return\u00a0game for too long.<\/p>\n
– Austin Seferian-Jenkins stood out all day. First with the shape he’s in (noticeably thinner)\u00a0then with his ability to get open in the middle of the field. He was a safety valve and a\u00a0“seam stretcher” for the QB’s.<\/p>\n
– Sheldon Richardson was in the offensive backfield all day and reminded me of what he was\u00a0his first two years in the league. He blew up running plays and caused “sacks” during team\u00a0periods.<\/p>\n
– Jamal Adams showed his range when he nearly picked off a McCown throw to Seferian-Jenkins\u00a0outside the numbers during team periods. Marcus Maye had a quiet day.<\/p>\n

QB’s<\/h2>\n– McCown and Bryce Petty were both “meh”. Both of them threw “pick 6’s” in team periods, McCown to\u00a0Claiborne and Petty to Marcus Williams.<\/p>\n
– Christian Hackenberg was much improved over last year:
\n1. He totally revamped his body and added muscle from top to bottom
\n2. His setup stance in receiving the snap from center has been revamped
\n3. His footwork coming away from center is cleaner
\n4. His footwork when choosing which receiver to throw to was consistent<\/p>\n
Which led to accurate spirals and the elimination of balls in the dirt, balls that sailed\u00a0and balls that wobbled. In addition on a 80 degree day he was wearing a glove on his left hand,\u00a0which makes me wonder if he’s using that to help in handling the ball. Now the question is can\u00a0he continue to “stack” practices and take these improvements into games.<\/p>\n
