Popular Post Y3k Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 Yes there were positives, quite a few actually. I’ve rewatched every play like 10 times now, here are some positive observations: - He looks bigger and stronger, maybe even a bit taller - He was awesome in the pocket, even on bad throws/plays. The “pocket” was very chaotic all day. He stood in there, eyes down field. Did a great job of moving in the pocket and/or finding lanes to scramble and create time to throw. - The second drop by Crowder in the first quarter is maybe the most impressive pocket throw Darnold has ever made. Watch it again closely if you can. - Bounces back from the pick with a great throw to Le’Veon and a nice 2 min drive to get points - His release is absurd. It’s incredible how he took this loopy throwing motion and now has probably the tightest release in the NFL. People love to trash his “mechanics” but his throwing mechanics are good. It’s his footwork that sometime is out of sync. - Overall this was a lot closer to being a good game than it felt like live. It was an incredibly frustrating game to watch because of the uncharacteristic missed throws and drops. It created a barrage of 3 and outs that combined with the D allowing long scoring drives became unbearable to watch. - I have to say, nothing is easy in this offense. Yes, “plays were there to be made” but they were all high degree of difficulty plays that required Sam to buy time and make accurate throws on the move.

JohnnyLV Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Bold move complimenting Darnold this week as he is the worst QB ever and leading us to Lawrence....I agree with you though 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fantasy Island Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I'm positive Sam sucked on Sunday, however with a good coaching staff there is still hope. But, that won't happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Untouchable Posted September 16, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 16, 2020 Get rid of Gase, promote Williams to interim HC, and let Jim Bob Cooter do Matthew Stafford type sh*t with Darnold the rest of the year. This offense is frustrating as hell to watch. We’ve taken a natural gunslinger like Darnold and stuck him in an offense that calls for some variation of a screen pass on 80% of his drop backs. If the OL continues to gel, we get back Mims, Bell, Perine, Williamson, etc. and Darnold is able to thrive in a more wide open offense, then we’re in great shape moving forward. If Darnold falls flat on his face, then we’re at least in the mix for Lawrence, with the added benefit of three extra 1st’s in our pocket over the next 2 years. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing worse than the Jets offense this past Sunday was the Jets defense, so no thank you on promoting Williams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScarletKnight89 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 I really can't think of a single positive from that game. I would like to give him credit for the TD to Crowder, but Crowder did all the work. I guess the drive before the half after the Allen fumble was nice. He threw a beautiful pass to Bell down the sideline that he usually always misses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Look what happened to Brady when Edelman was hurt. The Jets biggest issue on offense is continuity! No one can stay healthy & the Oline needs to gel. It’s like we NEVER have everyone available EVER! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we’re promoting someone to interim HC, I’d rather it be Gregg Williams over some guy like Dowell Loggains or Shawn Jefferson. And unless Williams blows everyone’s collective t!ts off, we’d be parting ways at the end of the year anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
