On Monday night the stage was set for the New York Jets to put on a big time performance to set the tone for the rest of the season.\u00a0 Well if Gang Green’s 10-9 loss to the Ravens is indicative of the rest of the season, fill up your coolers and break out the Rolaids as this is going to be a long one.<\/p>\n
1) Jenkins hurt-<\/strong> Defensive tackle Kris Jenkins left the game due to a knee injury in the first quarter and did not return.\u00a0 Jenkins is scheduled to have an MRI on Tuesday and the team has not officially stated a timetable for his return.<\/p>\n 2) Pathetic on offense-<\/strong> Lets throw some numbers at you : 1\/11 on 3rd down, 6 (yes that is 6) first downs, 176 total yards, 60 net passing yards.\u00a0 Are you kidding me? This was one of the worst offensive performances in recent memory.\u00a0 The offensive line, which was once considered a strength of the team, was shaky at best.\u00a0 Alan Faneca anyone?<\/p>\n 3) Sanchez handcuffed-<\/strong> The Ravens entered the game with a decimated secondary and for whatever reason the Jets failed to take advantage of it.\u00a0 Gang Green appeared to be in max protection and never made an concerted effort to push the ball down the field.\u00a0 It is one thing to keep the wraps on a young quarterback, another to completely handcuff him to the point where he is useless.<\/p>\n 4) Rough start for Greene-<\/strong> Running back Shonn Greene fumbled the ball twice, losing it once on the Ravens 24 yard line.\u00a0 Not exactly what you are looking for from your starting back.<\/p>\n 5) Lack of discipline-<\/strong> The Jets committed 14 penalties for 125 yards.\u00a0 There was a point in the game where Gang Green had more penalty yards than offensive yards. Pathetic.\u00a0 It is one thing to play physical and aggressive, another to play undisciplined and sloppy.\u00a0 14 penalties is downright embarrassing.<\/p>\n 6) Defense solid-<\/strong> The Jets defense went blow for blow with the Ravens, which is impressive considering they were on the field almost twice as long.\u00a0 Antonio Cromartie struggled at times with 4 penalties, but had a big interception that could have changed the momentum of the game.\u00a0 Bryan Thomas, Shaun Ellis, Bart Scott, and Jason Taylor all had solid games putting pressure on the quarterback and stuffing the run.<\/p>\n In summary this was a disappointing performance by the Jets.\u00a0 The offense was horrific and the team played undisciplined.\u00a0 Not exactly what you expect from a team with Super Bowl aspirations playing in front of their home fans.\u00a0 Next up for the Jets is the Patriots, which is almost nauseating to think about.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Monday night the stage was set for the New York Jets to put on a big time performance to set the tone for the rest of the season.\u00a0 Well if Gang Green’s 10-9 loss to the Ravens is indicative of the rest of the season, fill up your coolers and break out the Rolaids […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[213,206,391],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5516","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-jet-news","7":"category-tyson-rauch","8":"category-writers"},"acf":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/seLffi-5516","jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5516","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5516"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5516\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5519,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5516\/revisions\/5519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5516"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5516"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/miletestsite.com\/jets\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5516"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
