I just read the transcript. Sounds like he's trying to walk a fine line between crossing McDougald, who is the one who originally said they don't practice to win, and pissing off his head coach. He says the onus is on the players to practice well and "start fast[er]"
Oh, you won't catch me disagreeing in any way about that. It's just that I think Williamson was trying to do a diplomatic radio spot and some of his other teammates are responsible for the "loser" rhetoric. That's a tough position to be in. You want to advance your career and do the radio show, but you don't want to cross teammates and coaches. Bad situation to be in, and I think he handled it well.
It absolutely is going to be true...not a doubt in my mind this "dream" I had will in fact come to fruition. It's the way we roll here in Jetland.I got a feeling of sadness because I know it's likely to be true. We're gonna win just enough to not get Lawrence. Or, in typical Jets fashion, they'll get number one but overthink it and take a different quarterback rating a little more highly by the scouts. Watching Lawrence for the rest of his career becomes sheer football weekly torture.
With the Rangers landing KK and Laf plus Cohen buying the Mets, how much karma do you think that we have left for the Jets? I won't even mention the Knicks. They are a lost cause.
Wow you know...didn't even think about it like that. I really think the karma is all used up for this year. The Rangers are done getting #### from the hockey gods for another 3 decades as we have enough now to win a few Cups. The Mets with Cohen do have some hope as we'll finally break out the check book and bring in some studs. The Knicks? They got their love back in 1985 when they got Ewing so the Knicks are done for another 2 more decades...lol.
The money they spent were all basically one year contracts - very little risk. Another blow to PFF.rockaction said:
Oh, Maximus*.
I get that I'm on an island on this one but listen, I've been a Jet fan for close to 50 years and I know all about #### blowing up into our faces. This tho is a gamble I'd be willing too take as we are so far away from even being even relevant. And it's cause I trust Douglass knows what the hell he's doing. It probably would be a win/win for both Lawrence and the Jets if we traded the #1 overall for as I said the motherload!.Oh, Maximus*.
I saw him on one of the ESPN morning shows where he said something similar- the Jets game plan was designed not to lose big instead of trying to win. It’s obvious when you’re running Frank Gore straight ahead into the SF line that you’re just killing clock and have no hope of actually winning the game.
I don't see it this way.
As a neutral I saw the same thing. A contrast with Judge coaching the Giants who did everything he could to instill confidence in his players that they could win.
That's some funny ### #### but I still think the Jets would end up 2nd overall.
My Bengals scoring 23 points in the last 6 and a half minutes (and 16 in the last 2 1/2 minutes) in that Dolphins game raised the bar. I will be forever grateful to Brian Flores for running out the overtime clock before trying that last field goal.That's some funny ### #### but I still think the Jets would end up 2nd overall.
Good imagination tho I'll give you that!...
I've said it a few times in the past few days here. Gun to my head, I think unless Jets are 1-9 or maybe 2-8 at the week 11 bye, will stick with Gase till the end of the season. Douglass has a history with Gase as they worked with one another in Chicago and one would think due to Gase being a big reason Douglass got the job here in NY and a #### ton of money, there is a loyalty issue that likely needs to be considered.
The schedule that we had in the second half of last year? The players that were here like Anderson, Bell, and Adams, regardless of how much I might have complained when they were here? I think a few things would get us back to that, but we beat cream puffs the end of last season. I'd have to look it up, but they weren't very good teams. I was personally okay with their personnel decisions, and the two teams we just faced out of the gate were playoff teams last year and this year.
Just to clarify, last year's 6-2 record after the 1-7 start was much more about the schedule being as cup cake of a schedule as you could possibly dream of combined with Sam getting healthy and having some decent weaponry at his disposal. Now I'm not saying great weapons at all but Robbie Anderson, Bell, Ryan Griffin who was great BTW, Crowder and Demarious Thomas is 10x better than what Sam has right now even with the O-line playing like ####.
Man oh man do I miss the days of Chrebet, Keyshawn and Dedric Ward or a few years later Chrebet, Lavernious Coles, Santana Moss.
From the perspective of another Eagles fan, that's actually a pretty terrible take. Douglass prompted Howie to make some good FA signings (and I think Foles was more Doug Pederson and Howie than Douglass), but the three drafts that he had input into, 2017, 2018 and 2019, don't look very good. (He was hired in 2016 after that year's draft, in which the Eagles traded up for Wentz.) Those three drafts have yielded a grand total of two impact players, Dallas Goedert and Miles Sanders. To be fair, there wasn't a whole lot to get in the 2018 draft due to picks lost from the Wentz trade, but only 2 of 8 players remain from the 2017 draft, and every pick from 2019 aside from Sanders looks dreadful.
I honestly couldn't say about those Philly drafts because I don't know how much impact he had, but I have read the same from another Philly fan. At least he seems to have hit a home run with Becton this year. The jury is out on the rest of his draft. Davis looked great in camp, but hasn't played on defense yet. The rest of his draft class has been hurt. Even Perine had a good camp, but got hurt. He also got good value in his trades. Time will tell.
A little longer than a couple of weeks. More of season-long aspirations:QuizGuy66 said:
Sniff Sniff...me sad now as I thought Joe Douglass was Jesus H. Christ....dammit....lol
The ONLY pick that Douglass made during the draft that I even went "hmmm" too was the second 4th round selection of ours in James Morgan. I really really thought Douglass was going to go WR there as there were still a few good ones left over and so that pick left me wondering "what if". But like you, this last draft of ours was one of the very very few that I came out of thinking that there was a plan, it made sense and it looks like we got some good prospects.
I actually dont mind the QB pick as a backup was a high priority....love the Becton pick who if the draft was redone today may be top 5.....Mims I liked at the time but he needs to get on the field.....Ashtyn Davis has had a slow start and everyone else is hurt.....so jury is still out on the draft.....
#### I'm too the point now where I'd even give Johnny "Lam" Jones a call and see if his hands have finally caught up with his speed now that it's 35 years later...lol
I didn't get that pick at all. Why are you drafting a project that projects to be, at best, a back up? I was hoping he'd go WR there. Tyler Johnson was still on the board, as were John Hightower and a few others that weren't just there but that made clubs (Hightower in particular was a late-round sort of boon for the Eagles to fill depth needs at WR) and have the potential to be pretty good swings for fences at some point.
I have Rivers for 2 completions to the Jets. I have Darnold with at least 4 WR screen completions for 1-2 yards on third and 9.
Guess it depends on your scoring setup then. If points are primary, then it's probably a good play. As far as sacks go, the line gave up the most pressures of any team in Week One at 43 percent. I'm not sure what last game saw. I know Becton is ranked eleventh among tackles, Fant is 53rd or so among tackles, Van Roten and Alex Lewis below 44th in pass blocking grades for guards.
Fant is out homer-boy. McGovern is iffy. They brought someone up from the practice squad. Van Roten is Van Rotten. Alex Lewis sucks, too.
Yeah, I realized as I writing that that I hadn't even ####### watched this team.
I don't blame you for not watching this garbage product, but if you're going to dole out advice, you gotta be on top of things.Yeah, I realized as I writing that that I hadn't even ####### watched this team.
Given the news, guess I'm firing up my IDP DE Justin Houston for the affair. Let's hope he doesn't get Becton'd.
Yeah, that's why I typed what I did as I was going along. The part about "I'm not the best person..." The first gusto was simply an obvious answer to an obvious question. Indianapolis is number one according to Yahoo projections for D/ST points, among other places. I felt qualified to answer as a football fan, never mind homer.
