JetNation Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 New York Jets Report Card Week 7: Baltimore Ravens @ New York Jets 10/23/16 Quarterback: C Smith: 4/8, 95 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 1 rush for 7 yards Fitzpatrick: 9/14, 120 yards, 1 TD, 0 INT, 1 rush for -1 yards Life in the NFL: Geno Smith waits more than a year for another opportunity under center only to be injured in the 1st half, but not before Quincy Enunwa took a short pass over the middle all the way down the field for a touchdown. Fitzpatrick came in and went 7/7 to start, only to fall off a little down the stretch. Nevertheless, Fitzpatrick did what he needed to do to secure the win and, more importantly, avoid the loss. It wouldn’t be appropriate to say that he looked invigorated, but at the very least, a little more relaxed. Running Backs: B Forte: 30/100/1, 1 fumble lost, 4 receptions for 54 yards, 1 TD Powell: 4/18/0 Pope: 1/1/0 Forte’s fumble late almost cost the Jets, but fortunately, they were able to force another fumble immediately – setting up a 1 yard TD that put the Jets up 8. That mistake aside, Forte looked younger and sprier than he has in any game this season, making great contributions in both the passing and the running game. Wide Receivers/Tight Ends: C- B. Marshall: 3/39/0 Enunwa: 2/73/1 Anderson: 3/41/0, 1 rush for 30 yards Peake: 1/8/0 Enunwa took an early pass from Geno Smith all the way down the field for a big touchdown, racking up massive yards after the catch. Apart from that and rookie Robby Anderson’s 30 yard rush, there wasn’t much to see. The Jets primarily stuck with the ground game and complemented it with quick hits to Forte out of the backfield. Offensive Line: C- Mangold left with an injury and didn’t return – yikes. Jets quarterbacks were sacked 5 times for 26 yards – double yikes. Still, this was one of the more impressive efforts on the season for this unit in the run blocking game. They opened up what were at times massive holes for Matt Forte, finally enabling him to use his quickness to punish an opposing defense. Defensive Line: B Though the Jets only sacked Flacco once, he was under some pretty heavy pressure all day. The Jets once vaunted defensive line did a much better job at penetrating and eating up blockers. Linebackers: B+ Erin Henderson and Darron Lee were out, but New York’s linebackers still had one of the better outings of the season, limiting the Ravens to just 6 net rushing yards. Secondary: B Flacco threw for 248 yards, but was held without a touchdown and Skrine and Gilchrist each came down with interceptions. Mike Wallace burned the secondary with a 53 yard reception but other than that, this was the best kind of outing you could’ve hoped for. Special Teams: F Special Teams cost the Jets big this game, with a blocked field goal taking potential points off the board in the 4th and an early miscue on a punt snap led to an easy touchdown for the Ravens. The Special Teams have truly been atrocious this season, and have accounted for numerous scores going the other way. Coaching: C+ The coaches stuck to the ground game on offense and ratcheted up the pressure on defense to secure a much needed home win. Click here to read the full story...

No they haven't. This was their worst ST games this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got 3 examples right there of either costing or nearly costing the Jets a game. And Jets have no return game at all and lose the field position battle most weeks.

Rangers9 Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think the encouraging thing was the play of the two rookie receivers, Anderson and Peake. They have more confidence and are starting to make plays. I'd like to see more targets for Q. I knew he was good but on that TD play from Geno he was great. I'd like to see better judgment on kick returns by Jalen Marshall but he does seem to have break out talent but just take the 25 yard line unless you have a clear lane. It's a good starting point for a drive and this team can't be successful if they have to start drives deep in their own territory. As for Geno he was ok and makes some plays but can he consistently run the offense efficiently. He still sometimes loses yardage and goes backwards not forwards. Fitz was ok and I'll take that performance but not too excited about it. We had too many short drives and allowed them to stay in the game instead of putting it away. On D we had a more consistent pass rush and after in the first half giving up big pass plays on 3rd and longs the secondary played great in the 2nd half. Whatever adjustments made worked and it showed good coaching. We'll see if this continues in the future because if it does we can win some games. I'd say we have a long shot at being 8-8 and no chance for the playoffs. We're not good enough to run the table esp with uncertainty at Qb. But we can still have some fun beating teams we hate and maybe beating Rex and getting payback and on week 17 this year knocking him out of the playoffs but probably he won't get that far anyways.

The punt coverage has been spectacular this year. Where the problem has been is the return game (as always) and place kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwards has been solid as a punter and the coverage units have been solid as well. Today most all of it was bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
