A win is a win, but this felt bittersweet. While watching this game, several players caught my eye. This isn't for good plays, but repeatedly messing up. 

1. Roman Harper- this guy was out of position and burnt for most of the day. I'm not sure why he is even on the roster. 

2. Shaq Thompson- I can blame this on being a rookie, but it's obvious the coaches need to work with him. He wasn't ready for this game. He didn't know his assignment, missed several tackles, and took horrible angles. The guy needs to pay more aggressive. 

3. Tedd Ginn- This game should have been a blowout. For all of the flack that Brown gets, Ginn has been just as bad at dropping catchable balls. 

(Shout out to Coleman on his 500 missed tackles today. )

cant say i disagree. the team as a whole seemed to have forgotten how to tackle in the first half. And our secondary did seem out of their element. i think there is plenty of talent and i trust McDermott to fix things, so i am not worried yet. but as soon as Week 3 rolls around, that needs to be figured out. Drew Brees will carve us up if we dont get our secondary performing at a high level.

here's to hoping the pass rush is better by week 3 also. as far as im concerned, next week needs to be an extention of preseason week 3. figure out what works both offensively and defensively, and use it the rest of the season. hopefully Star will be back and get get a full game in to warm up, and hopefully after two games, the d-line will have warmed up as a whole. Bortles had FAR too much time today.

I did notice Coleman's missed tackles.  Obviously Finn has to make those catches.  I would like to see Boston in place of Harper.  All these guys need to step up.  Didn't notice Thompson so much. 

i would like to see Funchess step up and be A serviceable all down WR.

DL needs to improve. Took them til the end of the game to get consistent pressure on Bortles (thanks to his LT getting injured). Oher also needs to improve at LT and show the form he had in preseason. Would also like to see Funchess out there for more plays and Artis-Payne get some carries next week. Special Teams also must improve, 2 missed FGs is unacceptable.

Safety looks like a weakness yet again but apparently only Rivera deems Harper a starting caliber S in the league...he should be benched and cheer lead/lead from the bench.

WR's all of em

Pass rush was non existent except for a few isolated incidents mostly at the very end of the game.(Hardy is missed big time)

STs missed FG then blocked FG...we literally can't go 1 whole game without a STs gaffe of some sort...at least these didn't cost us the game.

Hell IMO Shaq should not be starting, I look at him in a since as I did with Armati Edwards of the 1st round- he should have been drafted no earlier than 3rd to 4th round due to rawness.

Charles Johnson- At the money hes making, He need to be balling out, but he is Marty's baby.

Kony- Not very impressed, just not that good- almost time to start counting him as a bust

Maybe I should have said D Line as a whole- cause if we play Brees or Ryan like that we might get lit up for 500 yards.

Ealy needs to step up big time.  He was held in check the entire game.  He steps up, and you'd be surprised how much the secondary improves.  Other than that, I'd like to see Ron learn from his late season adjustments last year, and go ahead ad put Boston in, getting him some early reps just to see what he can do.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
