Leonard Williams was active with a fumble recovery (40 yards), TFL&#8217;s and\u00a0making plays up and down the line. \u00a0Henry Anderson was able to draw a couple of holding\u00a0penalties with his penetration into the NYG backfield.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Offense<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Sharp performance by the offense early on as they were able to score two TD&#8217;s by\u00a0the start of the second quarter. \u00a0Nice wrinkle by Jeremy Bates in using three TE sets\u00a0to assist the OLine while still providing Sam Darnold with receivers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The defense and special teams poor play had a direct impact on the offense. \u00a0Both\u00a0units caused the offense to be pinned back inside the 20 multiple times which led to\u00a0conservative play calling and zero production.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; The OLine was solid in pass protection but inconsistent in run blocking.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Poor effort by Eric Tomlinson in blocking as he was hit with two penalties which\u00a0destroyed drives.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Nice to see Quincy Enunwa and Terrelle Pryor on the field and contributing. \u00a0Mixing\u00a0those two in with Robby Anderson and Jermaine Kearse should give Sam Darnold a good\u00a0corps of WR.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Sam Darnold remains on track to be the starter in my eyes. \u00a0He made a mistake by\u00a0drawing an intentional grounding penalty and the play clock got down to 1-2 seconds\u00a0a couple of times. \u00a0But when given good field position he led the team to two TD&#8217;s\u00a0by the start of the second quarter. \u00a0The defense has got to be better on 3rd down\u00a0to give Darnold the ball more times and in decent field position.<\/p>\n<p>Stop by our forums and tell us what you think about the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/forums.jetnation.com\/topic\/139262-game-observations-nyg\/\">Jets \\ Giants game<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General Notes &#8211; An absolutely putrid effort by the Jets with the main culprits being\u00a0the defense and special teams. &#8211; A horrible display of discipline as the team committed 10+ penalties.\u00a0On offense most of them pinned the team back and destroyed drives. \u00a0On\u00a0defense the penalties extended drives and led to NYG points.
