Jamison Crowder ties a Jets franchise record with 14 catches vs the Bills yesterday. 

What's so pathetic about it? Well it isnt Crowder, given that he went out and did what was asked of him.

It's the fact that a WR can catch 14 passes and NOT surpass 100 yards receiving given that he didnt record 1 catch yesterday that travelled beyond 5 yards from the LOS!!! 

How ridiculous is this offense? Matter of fact, a few of those 14 passes were thrown behind the LOS. 

I counted 1 pass that may have traveled 5 yards past the LOS. Everything else was 4 yards or less. 


That's the "offensive guru" Adam Gase for you. Dude got a job because he's friends with a HOF QB. Just pathetic. 

 

there was a reason why so many short passes were thrown its called keeping your QB alive. If they didn't adjust to a short passing game Darnold would have been sacked 15 times

1) Nowadays NFL QBs are trying to throw the ball in like 2.5 seconds (something like that).  Probably it's a league-wide metric that allows teams to overcome crappy OL's (throw before the blitz gets there).  Brady is the king of this and Ben has caught on as well

2) Hitting the guy in stride is critical.  If the receiver can break 1 tackle and then fall forward, you're looking at like a 7-8 yard gain probably at a minimum.  Those kinds of plays keep the chains moving.

No issue with the short passes to Crowder. They will pay dividends in other games. Move the chains, extend drives, bring the linebackers and safeties in. 

We need more intermediate/deep passes to other receivers. And Darnold needs to hit them when there’s opportunities. 

Agree completely.

Dinking and dunking to crowder, bell, and Montgomery is totally cool, provided that we are also hitting Anderson, Enunwa, and eventually Herndon, down the field.
