joewilly12 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Jets’ Luke Falk has proved everyone wrong before By Brian Costello September 20, 2019 | 1:52pm | Updated Washington State coach Mike Leach saw one of his former pupils play well for the Jaguars on Thursday night and expects another to do the same thing for the Jets on Sunday. Gardner Minshew threw for two touchdowns to lead the Jaguars over the Titans on Thursday. Now, Luke Falk will try to pull off an even greater feat for the Jets in Foxborough on Sunday against the Patriots. “He’s a real good game manager. He knows all the tricks,” Leach said in a phone interview. “One distinction, that is pretty hard to ignore, is he’s the all-time leading passer in the history of the Pac-12 that throws it more than anybody. I think he’s a great game manager. He’s always been a student of the game and utilizes all his weapons out there, which I think is kind of the most important job of a quarterback.” Falk put up prolific numbers for the Cougars under Leach in three-plus years as the starter. As Leach mentioned, his 14,481 passing yards are the most in Pac-12 history. He also holds the conference record with 119 passing touchdowns. He threw for the eighth-most passing yards in FBS history and the 10th-most passing touchdowns. Leach said Washington State began recruiting Falk, who missed his junior season in high school due to Utah transfer rules, late in the process. Washington State needed a quarterback, but did not have a scholarship. Falk had no scholarship offers, according to Leach. Only Cornell was recruiting him and it does not give scholarships. Falk walked on at Washington State and quickly became its No. 2 quarterback. He became the starter late in his freshman season and then started the rest of his college career. Luke Falk had a prolific career as a walk-on at Washington State.Getty Images Despite having such a prolific college career, Falk lasted until the sixth round in the 2018 NFL Draft. Leach said he is still unsure what NFL scouts did not see in Falk. “It’s interesting to me. Somehow they always think our guys have weak arms, which they don’t,” Leach said. “He’s a tall, statuesque guy. He’s not as fast as some of them would have liked. Other than that, I don’t know. It’s a great question. I can’t say I know the answer to that. I certainly would have taken him sooner than they did.” While Falk faces a daunting task on Sunday against a 2-0 Patriots team that has not allowed a touchdown yet this season, Leach believes in him. “I think he’s going to do a good job,” Leach said. “I read that everybody felt he knew the offense better than all of them, which doesn’t surprise me. That’s characteristic of him. He does a great job of studying and knowing his personnel. Obviously, New England is definitely a challenge but I think Luke will do a really good job.” 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nixhead Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 What if Luke Falk pulls this off and passes the Jets to a victory? I mean it's possible. What if he really does it? Does Darnold get his job back right away or do we ride the hot hand of Luke Falk? Its a problem Id love the Jets to have. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peace Frog Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Ok. I love Luke Falk. He was great his junior year. But he got benched his senior year. Twice. For a guy that committed suicide a few months later. True story. Google it. Too sad to post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Luke Falk beats the pats, he will be the 2nd best QB we ever had. Sam who? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rangers9 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I’d expect the NEP defense to confuse him. If he’s able to compete with them on Sunday with few mistakes and he can move the ball he has an NFL career. It’s a good opportunity he never expected to get, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BurnleyJet Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Nice fluff piece, Falk isn’t beating NE in Bean town. Look Aaron Rodgers isn’t beating NE in bean town. He’s a limited QB, with what looks like nice accuracy. I hope he becomes Sam’s back up long term. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know where you play, I’m not bothered about your infighting, if Vermont is better then Massachusetts or Maine, your all pretty much the same, insufferable. I’ve yet to meet a humble Patriots fan. You seem to be a bunch who lack any self awareness and come across as arrogant. I take it your ”Maine” motivation to join a Jets chat forum is to Troll and generally be smug ,and come and laugh at the losers.. I can never understand people who join other teams forums, although I think it’s a good insight into their psyche. I do wonder how many would be Pats’s fans if they had to endure the level of play we’ve seen for the last decade? Enjoy while you can, people don’t play forever even the great Tom Brady. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sourceworx Posted September 21, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 21, 2019 I liked Falk a lot in college, and I thought he looked pretty good in the preseason. So while I'd definitely prefer to see Sam in this game, and I do believe this will likely be a rout, I'll admit I'm a little excited to see Falk play. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetster Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Who was the last QB to beat the Patriots in Gillette during the regular season? It's so rare I truly don't know. Damn, I wish we were healthy at 100% with Sam & Herndon, especially with 3 of their starting Olineman down. But we're not, so we literally have no chance because we can't take advantage of what is a clear weakness, Brady does not do well with pressure & the Pats who have been living with a horseshoe stuck far up their azz are playing the banged up Jets with a 3rd string QB & not the Baltimore Ravens this weekend which would be the game of the week. Sar had it right, you rest the injured, you take your lumps & you go into the bye to get healthy & straighten out the issues on this Oline. Jets will miss the playoffs because of that Bills game by 1 game. After we get through this tough schedule filled with injuries, Sam & the Jets will go on an epic roll to end the season. JD then goes to work on 2020. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetsBoom99 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 as much as I want to root for this kid, Jets are going to get crushed. NE knows we are just going to rely on Leveon to run the ball, so they are just going to stack the box and put pressure on the run and dare the pass... With their solid secondary, we have zero weapons on offense sans Leveon where we can make any kind of threat passing the ball. Gilmore will shut down Robby, double Crowder underneath then what else do we have? Nothing. LIterally nothing... Bellamy? haha. Falk may just pass screen it to Leveon at the line for a -2 yd loss everytime. You need some kind of passing game to compliment you're running game and vice versa to be successful in this league.. It's gonna be another "defense constantly on the field" type game. We all know it. We need stories like this about Luke Falk to give us a small, small , small glimmer of some kind of hope. But like they say, any given Sunday. I guess. (btw, sorry if my first post on here is doom and gloom..haha.

nyjets1969 Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I seen Luke play in some Washington State games the guy is very underrated. The guy should have been picked in the first 3 rounds. This guy at one point was considered a first round pick what killed him was he took a concussion in his final Bowl game Appearance and left the game early teams didn't get to see him not to mention he got lost in a biggest QB draft class overshadow with kids like Darnold,Mayfield ect. I dont want to jinx him but I think alot of people are going to be shocked sunday this kid at this point knows the system better than Simien or Darnold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what I do not understand about most coaching in the NFL.... EVERYBODY who has ever watched the game for any length of time knows this is what the plan is. So why not come out and throw the ball deep? Throw it deep a few times. Get them off balance a bit. I mean, what have you got to lose? We might go 0-3? You are going to go 0-3 if you try and run the ball two times in a stacked box and give Falk 3-8's every series as well. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
