The Jets completed their second practice of the season on Sunday. The practice was closed to the public but KRL was in Florham Park covering the action for JetNation.<\/p>\n
General Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n – Final day for the players in shells & shorts.<\/p>\n – Practice ran 2.5 hours.<\/p>\n – Another drop in the number of media members in attendance.<\/p>\n – Ardarius Stewart and Chad Hansen practiced but again were held out of team periods.\u00a0In addition I didn’t see Morris Claiborne at all today. \u00a0Hopefully it wasn’t injury\u00a0related.<\/p>\n Todd Bowles had this to say on Claiborne being absent:<\/p>\n Yes, it\u2019s for personal reasons and he\u2019ll be back tomorrow.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n – There’s a ton of mixing and matching going on right now so it’s impossible to\u00a0determine #1’s. \u00a0Today Jordan Jenkins & Dylan Donahue got OLB reps with the “#1’s”.<\/p>\n – The defense started to unveil some of their blitz packages. \u00a0The disguise and timing\u00a0of the blitzes was excellent.<\/p>\n – Still trying to get a feel for John Morton (OC) and the type of offense he’ll be\u00a0running. \u00a0At this point it seems he’s installing the short & intermediate portions of the passing game. \u00a0There hasn’t been a ton of vertical shots down the field. \u00a0So\u00a0far it feels like a “West Coast” offense focused on getting the ball out quickly. \u00a0One\u00a0thing for sure is the TE position will get a ton of targets.<\/p>\n Player Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n – Austin Seferian-Jenkins had another good day and is starting to “stack” practices.\u00a0In addition Jordan Leggett had some “splashy” plays with a sweet one handed grab in the\u00a0red zone from Josh McCown during 7 on 7. \u00a0Also Leggett had a 30+ yard TD on a catch from\u00a0Bryce Petty (blown coverage).<\/p>\n – In general all the TE’s deserve to be mentioned because they are catching everything\u00a0thrown to them and are opening up the middle of the field. \u00a0So props to Eric Tomlinson,\u00a0Jason Vander Laan, Brian Parker and Chris Gragg. \u00a0Not “sexy” names but they’re doing the\u00a0job so far.<\/p>\n – Leonard Williams was a beast today and took advantage of the blitz packages by getting\u00a0at least two “sacks”.<\/p>\n – Connor Harris (ILB) didn’t make any “splashy” plays but was getting a ton of “love” from\u00a0his coaches & teammates. \u00a0So I’m assuming he was doing excellent work handling his\u00a0assignments during his reps.<\/p>\n – The WR group did a better job getting off press coverage today, but was that because\u00a0Claiborne didn’t play? \u00a0We’ll find out.<\/p>\n – Dennard Wilson (DB coach) is really coaching up Derrick Jones (the converted college WR).\u00a0Staying on him about all the details that go into the CB position.<\/p>\n QB’s<\/strong><\/p>\n – Better days for Josh McCown & Bryce Petty, they were efficient and unlike on Saturday they\u00a0didn’t turn the ball over.<\/p>\n – Christian Hackenberg had another solid practice. \u00a0His mechanics stayed consistent therefore\u00a0his throws were consistent. \u00a0His best throw was a 25+ yard seam pass to Leggett over Donahue’s\u00a0head in tight coverage. \u00a0Unfortunately for Hackenberg, Donahue stripped the ball out as they\u00a0went to the ground. \u00a0During team periods Morton had to instruct him to tuck & run instead of\u00a0trying to create something out of nothing.<\/p>\n
