KRL Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Perfect insight into the thought process of reporters. Below is Conner Hughes talking about yesterday's practice. Its decent, but focus in on his comments from 1:30 - 2:30 of the video, he says it all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BiiOF2hg5xg 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Nut Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Wait, after the 2:30 mark he calls the Jets camp first class and probably the best in the league, facially recognition software and scans that automatically sign you in? The cheapskate Jets? Just bitch and you'll be the first one hired, LOL 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 All that matters are wins. Don't talk to me about the first class face scanner. Win some damn games. Don't start with 1-6.

T0mShane Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Two takeaways from that bit: 1. I don’t consider Hughes to be a particularly negative reporter, so the joke is lost on me. 2. Internet video content staged like this is terrible, serves no purpose, and does nothing to inspire me to pay for The Athletic. That video runs 40 minutes? Why? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post DoubleDown Posted August 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 18, 2020 Hughes is stating the obvious. The goal is to get clicks, retweets, etc. The easiest and most effective way to do that is to focus on the negative and get a reaction out of people. The same principal applies to many fields including sports journalism, 24 hour news, talk radio, etc. We have nobody to blame but ourselves. If we as consumers ignored the negative garbage that is put out there and demanded more engaging, quality journalism, things would change very quickly. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your so easy to get to Bit but then most know-it-all's are. i don't remember many of my JI interactions but in general that place can go to hell the fact that anyone remembers anything I did that long ago, I find to be flattering side note I like how this board at the same time expects people to stay the same for 20 years but also expect a resounding Jets resurrection every offseason for no reason. Sam Darnold is going to get better but BIT will never change! it's a rebuilding process, check my signature my posts have to get worse so they can get better the problem is finding a floor as the 2020 Jets will also discover 20 minutes ago, Philc1 said: You have become a one note whiner ever since JD fleeced the Seahawks shows what you know i've been actively rooting against the team since they cut IK instead of Geno after punch-gate - IK was a hero they cut the wrong guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenReaper Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Conor Hughes talk on Becton play so far...gets me really excited on what he can be. He needs to get the experience from reps, and refinement of his technique. But his potential and upside is enormous. That potential could be one of the most...if not the most...dominant OL in Jets history. He could be that good. Can't wait to see Becton on that football field. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetstream23 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Some things I took away after listening to all 40 minutes.... 1. Sounds like Becton is the real deal and they're readying him to start at LT during Week 1 without major concerns. 2. Starting OLine looks to be Becton, Lewis, McGovern, GVR, Fant from left to right. 3. Herndon and Perriman both looking good. Herndon and Darnold have a great chemistry and Herndon is making big plays. 4. Perriman running all sorts of routes. Sounds to me like he's really trying to grow into that well-rounded WR1. 5. Ashtyn Davis is flashing and showing great awareness at FS. Playing a bit of centerfield, the Marcus Maye position from last year. 6. Maye looking good and looking more active now that Jamal Adams is gone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
