After an awful three weeks of football the Jets finally put together a complete\u00a0effort and defeated DEN 34-16. \u00a0A game that started with two “here we go again”
\nmoments (Bilal Powell fumble & Jason Myers missed FG) changed on the first\u00a0of three\u00a0huge offensive plays. \u00a0Shockingly Von Miller, Bradley Chubb and Shane Ray were\u00a0neutralized by an OLine that had been struggling, let’s take a look:<\/p>\n
Special Teams<\/strong><\/p>\n – Lachlan Edwards was excellent again and it seems like he’s finally ended our\u00a0search for a punter. \u00a0Even though it didn’t matter in the final score, Jason\u00a0Myers has got to tighten up his kicking. \u00a0You can’t miss a 30 yard chip shot<\/p>\n – Uneven game by Andre Roberts, he had that game changing 50 yard punt return.\u00a0But his other punt and kick returns weren’t great. \u00a0What I don’t want to see Defense<\/strong><\/p>\n – A lot of different schematic looks today. \u00a0In the nickel there were a ton of\u00a02-4-5 formations with the two OLB’s standing up on the line to bring pressure.\u00a0Also Mo Claiborne floated back to safety and almost tricked Case Keenum into\u00a0an INT.<\/p>\n – Leonard Williams has been a disappointment through the first four games of\u00a0the season. \u00a0But today he was the best defensive player on the field. \u00a0Williams\u00a0was excellent as he dominated in both phases with multiple sacks and TFL’s.<\/p>\n – Another good game by Henry Anderson as he was solid in run support and\u00a0pushed the pocket in the passing game.<\/p>\n – Solid games by Brandon Copeland, Frankie Luvu and Jeremiah Attaochu. \u00a0Attaochu\u00a0was particularly effective as he got a strip sack and generated a holding – Strong game by Mo Claiborne as he was good in coverage, almost had two INT’s\u00a0and was solid in run support.<\/p>\n – Darryl Roberts and Parry Nickerson were solid as they stepped in for Trumaine\u00a0Johnson and Buster Skrine.<\/p>\n – Marcus Maye finally looked like himself today as he was all over the field.\u00a0Helping the CB’s in coverage, delivering big shots to receivers and almost\u00a0scoring on a 105 yard INT.<\/p>\n – A total “fantasy football” game by Case Keenum. \u00a0As he generated a ton of “pretty\u00a0stats” but they were meaningless because the game was already decided. \u00a0When the\u00a0Jets were on a 34-3 run Keenum was nowhere to be found.<\/p>\n Offense<\/strong><\/p>\n – The OLine were the stars of the game. \u00a0They dominated DEN front seven and “broke\u00a0their will” in the second half. \u00a0In the run game they opened up massive holes and\u00a0in pass blocking they took Miller, Chubb and Ray out of the game. \u00a0Special credit should be given to the TE’s and WR’s for their edge blocking as that sprung some\u00a0of those long runs. \u00a0Spencer Long has to tighten up his shotgun snaps because there\u00a0were at least three which messed up the timing of the play.<\/p>\n – Robby Anderson broke out in a huge way as he torched Bradley Roby for two (70+\u00a0and 30+ yards) long TD’s. \u00a0He still has to work on his routes but his speed is – Great tandem game by Bilal Powell and Isaiah Crowell. \u00a0When you get 300+ yards\u00a0on the ground you make it easy on your rookie QB.<\/p>\n – Shocking to say but a poor game by Quincy Enunwa as he had multiple drops.<\/p>\n – Nice to see a Terrelle Pryor sighting as he made an excellent catch on Sam Darnold’s\u00a0final TD.<\/p>\n – Sam Darnold game was the exact opposite of Keenum’s. \u00a0His numbers weren’t pretty but\u00a0when the game was up for grabs he made clutch plays. \u00a0On vertical routes which Darnold\u00a0had struggled with he threw TD’s to Anderson which changed the momentum of the game.\u00a0In addition Darnold showed his toughness as he ran 30+ yards down the field to throw a\u00a0block on another long run by Powell.<\/p>\n
\nis Trenton Cannon returning punts again this year. \u00a0I know Roberts was banged up\u00a0but Cannon is totally unreliable.<\/p>\n
\npenalty coming off the edge.<\/p>\n
\nspecial. \u00a0CB’s know Anderson goes vertical and they still can’t cover him.<\/p>\n
