I still think Sam is playing pretty similar to Teddy. I think that is the plan. Overall, in preseason and week 1 is basically playing with just about 10 yards of field. I would expect that to continue. The offense I don't think completed a single intermediate pass. 10-20 yards downfield. He did hit Robby deep...but that was the type deep play Teddy would randomly hit too. Where the WR was just so wide open he would take it. Then that one crazy DJ toe tap play.

statistically, the Jets outplayed us in the 2nd half. 173 total yards, 2 TDs 82 total yards, FG

Clemson lost to UGA 10-3. Defining play of that loss and biggest play of the game was the INT returned for the TD. That was the game. That singular play. Whose fault was that? Well, per Dabo, it is all the WRs fault. Which isn't true. But that is the narrative Dabo wanted. He doesn't want his brand new QB shouldering that yet. I suspect you are seeing a similar element here. Both share blame. Rhule wants to keep it all off Darnold.

unless you got weird rules....it was a top 5 play this week.

I'm not making any judgements off the Jets game. If you had average defensive talent....your defense should of shined yesterday. Horrible OL, rookie QB in his first start. We won't really have a clue about this defense until starting with the Saints game.

Punters don't really get a lot of practice trying to pin an opponent back.....by punting from the opponents 33. That's not what punters actually do in the NFL.

It’s a QB driven league and we had two high end prospects fall in our laps. you really got an issue with people thinking a team allegedly in rebuild mode should draft….a QB? .

Not sure we know we can shut down the run just yet…..Jets have a bad OL and weaker than average RBs. Kamara is as close to a CMC type threat as their gets

Everyone has input. My boss asks for input all the time. He gets all kinds of input. You can’t follow everyone’s input. Because it generally is wildly different. Joe Brady isn’t drafting guys and adding free agents. You think Joe Brady that first draft was like, nah….I don’t want anyone in this entire draft lol. Let’s spend all the first round picks on D. I’m good. Matt Rhule has always leaned and won via defense and Snow is his dude. Don’t forget, the Sam input came from Phil Snow. Phil Snow was impressed with Sam and Rhule then began to pursue him because of Snow’s input.

Well, it depends on which Winston shows up. Good Winston? I don’t think we can score enough points. They are stout up front. They will cause our OL and Sam much bigger problems. Bad Winston? We would have have a chance.

Shaq and CMC honorable mentions to Burns and Brown on D. Sam on O.

Can’t really hate on him for the 2nd TD. Good throw. Good catch. Solid coverage. We will get our first real look at Horn this upcoming week. Jets had a rookie QB and a bad OL. Winston and the Saints will actually attack our D. It will show us a lot about the D overall and where we stack up.

33 would make it a 49 yard attempt. with no crazy wind, weather, or blocking concerns upfront showing themselves early in the game. and yeah, if you can’t attempt a 49 yarder….you need a new kicker. Especially when you aren’t an offensive juggernaut. You miss the opponent is only starting on their own 33.

Rhule showed you with his actions. Again, he punted from the Jets 33. Actions speak louder than bullshit behind a podium.

Joe Brady isn’t making the calls in the draft. Rhule and Snow have been together for a long time. And they made their name and way to the NFL….playing defense with pedestrian offense in college.

I can handle a kicker missing or getting in a funk. this dude just isn’t a NFL kicker. That was the problem that was discussed coming in. and Rhule told you that he knows it….which is why we punted from the Jets 30

Dude has been in the NFL for a half decade. All he has ever been is a super bad kickoff specialist to date. That’s his resume. No team in a half decade would let him kick. keeping him will just lead to her inevitable and predictable….football isn’t that hard. He shouldn’t be someone’s FG on the NFL. and that isn’t a new hot take I have because of the missed XP today. I’ve been saying it ever since we got him

Well we shouldn’t stick with this dude. We should of never gone into the season with him.

That could be. But we still downgraded. And Syle wasn’t even good. this guy has bounced around for a half decade. Either go sign a real kicker or bring in some young leg to gamble with. This never made sense.

Joey Syle was perfect on the day. 7/7 on FGs/XPs. I had no problem moving on from him but as I said at the time….we downgraded. That’s on Rhule. This guy isn’t a NFL kicker.

I haven’t watched it yet….did we really punt on the Jets 33?

I’m talking foundation of the O. The starting OL and QB. if you look at the foundation of the O. The combo of the starting OL/QB combo….it’s one of the weaker foundations in the NFL. Foundation of the D is the DL. Which isn’t weak. And that makes our D promising. We had Burns. We spent a first rounder on Brown. We brought in legit FAs around them. It’s a good front. We literally spent the entire first draft Snow was here on D. Top of the second draft on D. FAs have been solid and focused on that foundation. NFL is a talent driven league. If you suck at something, it’s generally because your talent is weak IMO. We have very weak OL combined with a weak QB. Faith in him improving isn’t really relevant IMO to present conversation. On O, we added depth and skill position guys in the draft (presently that is. Developmental on the OL).

I mean, the last two years we have been investing heavily in players for Phil Snow. the foundation of our O (OL and QB), potentially could be the weakest combo in the entire NFL. That could have something to do with why we struggle in scenarios…..where football is the most difficult. Think too much is falling on a 2nd year OC to simply scheme around such a weak foundation just because their is skill position talent.

NFL is literally already doing what Biden wants other organizations to do. What he is proposed is a non-issue when it comes to the NFL.

Well, we did win 3 straight NFCS titles going into that Super Bowl.... without knowing the future, that seemed like a much more optimistic window of time than present day.
