JetNation Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Football is back! Thursday night at 7 p.m. the New York Jets will square off at MetLife Stadium against the Indianapolis Colts for their first preseason matchup. Head coach Rex Ryan said that he expects the starters to play into the second quarter. Second year quarterback Geno Smith will start with the first team, as expected, but Ryan also said Michael Vick will also likely get a series with the first team offense. It is important to remember that preseason games are different in almost every way from regular season games. Most players are largely only concerned with staying healthy and getting reps. The preseason may not appeal to Rex Ryan’s style of little to no blitzing on the defensive end, either. There are some things to keep an eye out for. Are there any takeaways we can gather from Geno Smith? Smith struggled with quick decision making for a large part of last season before finishing strong and protecting the ball. It would be encouraging to see him continue to progress, even in the preseason. Also, without the front seven likely to be forcing Andrew Luck into pressure throws with limited blitz packages, how will the secondary hold up? In what figures to be a stout defense, the secondary could be the Achilles heel. Second year cornerback Dee Milliner finished the year strong and will get a nice preseason test lining up opposite T.Y. Hilton or Hakeem Nicks. Monitoring who plays opposite Milliner could be interesting though. Many expect veteran free agent Dimitri Patterson to start the year but Kyle Wilson, Darrin Walls, and rookie Dexter McDougle will all press for time. Heck, maybe even Ras-I Dowling has the talent level to be a solid corner on this team. With so many players and so few roster spots, every game matters for fringe players. Running back Daryl Richardson could have a big game against an iffy Colts defense that’s very thin at ILB. Richardson was the starting running back for the Rams last year before being waived this offseason and claimed by the Jets. This time of the year will also bring out preseason superstars, like David Clowney and Brett Ratliff. Just try not to get too caught up in the hype. Other notes: Jets first round pick Calvin Pryor will not play because he is recovering from a concussion…. Colts WR Reggie Wayne is being brought back slowly from offseason knee surgery and will not play… Don’t expect much T.Y. Hilton either… Via the Indianapolis Star, no one is sure how long Colts first-stringers will play: “We’re going to play it by ear,” Pagano said. “You never know what’s going to happen. We’d love to see, in a perfect world, them go out there and have a six, seven, eight-play drive and score a touchdown, kick the PAT and then make a decision whether to get them out of the game.”… Jets rookie WR Shaq Evans will not play due to a shoulder injury, which could land him on IR… NFL Network will re-air Jets-Colts Friday at 1 p.m. and Saturday at 3 a.m. for those who miss it.

Jetlife33 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Any predictions or players you're looking forward to seeing? Personally I'm excited to see the front 7 back at it and Decker/CJ/Vick for the first time. Under 2 hours till kickoff fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's that all about? I'd guess it's healthy related, but I don't remember seeing anything. That's not too good for a guy who sounded like he might just be fighting his way onto the roster. He's going to need to keep that up in actual game action to snag a roster spot at a position that currently has 12 players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faba Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Darryl Slater | The Star-Ledger Email the author | Follow on Twitter on August 07, 2014 at 5:45 PM, updated August 07, 2014 at 5:56 PM 0 Reddit Email EAST RUTHERFORD – The Jets won’t have the services of eight players for Thursday night’s preseason opener against the Colts. NFL teams don’t have to list inactive players for preseason games, because there is no roster limit for these games. But the Jets have already ruled out the following players: wide receiver Greg Salas (unknown), cornerback Johnny Patrick (hamstring), safety Calvin Pryor (coach’s decision), running back Bilal Powell (hamstring), offensive tackle Markus Zusevics (knee), offensive tackle Brent Qvale (concussion), wide receiver Shaq Evans (shoulder) and rush outside linebacker Antwan Barnes (knee). Salas is the most notable absence. He is battling for playing time at a crowded receiver position, and he acquitted himself well in Saturday night’s intrasquad scrimmage. The Jets had not previously listed him on their training camp injury list. When they announced his absence Thursday, they did not provide a reason. Jets coach Rex Ryan had expressed hope that Patrick and/or Powell – who is the Jets’ No. 3 back – would be able to play. Ryan had already ruled out Pryor, who has barely practiced in training camp because of a concussion, but has been physically cleared to practice and play. Ryan wanted to make sure Pryor, the Jets’ first-round draft pick and a likely starter, was fully prepared to play when he made his debut. Ryan said Evans, a fourth-round pick, might miss the season because of his shoulder injury. Barnes is still recovering from knee surgery and has spent all of camp so far on the physically unable to perform list. For the Colts, the following players won't participate Thursday: wide receiver Josh Lenz, cornerback Vontae Davis, safety LaRon Landry (a former Jet and the brother of Jets safety Dawan Landry), fullback Stanley Havili (who is on the PUP list), running back Ahmad Bradshaw (the former Giants Super Bowl hero), linebacker Andrew Jackson, linebacker Kelvin Sheppard, linebacker Josh McNary, offensive tackle Xavier Nixon and wide receiver Reggie Wayne.
