i had read those dates too but then the jets instagram posted videos today of DAY 2 so I have no idea if they are working today or not. 

Yeah, I'm seeing those posts too.  Looks like the original dates announced were either wrong or have been changed.  Hopefully we have practices today, tomorrow and Thursday with media in attendance tomorrow and Thursday!

I was extremely pissed off @ Mosley for sitting out the 2020 season under Adam Gase. 

however...

 

I'm now A++ excited to see Mosley dominate behind Quinnen Williams and under coach Saleh; Can't wait!

You mean to say you were completely certain of one thing and now vocally believe the exact opposite? NAHHHHH, absolutely not you!

Zach Wilson, Robert Saleh headline new-look Jets OTAs

May 26, 2021 | 6:00pm | Updated

 

 

 

 

 

The Jets began OTAs on Monday, but they will allow the media in for the first time on Thursday.

It will be our first glance at what the 2021 Jets will look like. General manager Joe Douglas has spent the past five months reshaping the organization. The team has a new head coach, a new quarterback and plenty of other new pieces.

OTAs are light practices with the players in shorts, no pads and no contact. Still, you can see what the early depth chart looks like and get a glimpse at the new guys. The media is permitted at three OTAs and the three minicamp practices over the next month.

Here are the five things we’re most curious to see:

The Kid

Did you think we were going to start with the competition at kicker? Zach Wilson is the star attraction of these practices, as he will be when training camp starts at the end of July. We got a glimpse of the 21-year-old quarterback at rookie minicamp, but all we were permitted to see him do was play a glorified game of catch. These practices will go further. He will face the Jets’ defense. He’ll be working with the veteran receivers. He will be under the spotlight. Get used to it, kid.

The Coach

If Wilson is the star of the show, Robert Saleh is his supporting actor. Since Saleh was hired in January, the buzzword around the Jets has been “energy” — as in how much Saleh brings to everything he does. Spring practices can get a bit lackadaisical as some days it gets hot and the players are not yet going full speed. We’ll see if Saleh can keep the Jets focused throughout.

Saleh’s initial imprint on the team should be visible during the OTAs and minicamp. Attendance has been high for the voluntary workouts and practices with more than 80 Jets on the field.

The Receivers

Douglas revamped this room through free agency and the draft. For the first time in years, it feels like the Jets have some depth at the position. I’m curious to see how they use everyone. Corey Davis is obviously the top dog after the Jets paid him $27 million in guaranteed money in free agency. But how does it fall after that? What does the new coaching staff think of Denzel Mims, last year’s second-round pick who struggled to stay on the field as a rookie? Does rookie Elijah Moore take snaps away from Jamison Crowder? How does Keelan Cole, another addition in free agency, fit in? We should get some of — but not all of— these answers during the open practices. The Jets have dealt with a lot of injuries at receiver in recent years, so the depth will be critical. It will be interesting to see how all the pieces of the puzzle fit together right now.

The Return of C.J. Mosley

We have not seen Mosley on the field since a loss to the Patriots on Oct. 21, 2019. How long ago was that? That was the night Sam Darnold saw ghosts. Mosley’s first season with the Jets ended after that night and after just two games played. Then, he opted out of last season due to COVID concerns. Mosley turns 29 next month and has not played a full game since 2018. The Jets gave him a five-year, $85 million contract in March 2019 and have gotten very little for it. Now, the Jets are running a 4-3 defense under Saleh and Mosley is two years older. It will be interesting to see if he looks like his old self.

Competition at Right Guard

The Jets don’t have a lot of positions up for grabs, but right guard feels like a critical one. First-round pick Alijah Vera-Tucker slides in at left guard, leaving a competition on the other side between incumbent Greg Van Roten, Alex Lewis, Dan Feeney and Cameron Clark. That competition will take place in training camp, but we’ll get our first look at the pecking order on the early depth chart.

The Jets hired former Dolphins defensive coordinator Matt Burke for a game-management role, a source confirmed. Burke will give input on both sides of the ball.

The Jets and G Alex Lewis have agreed to a reworked contract that pays him a base salary of $3M this year (previously $5.8M) while eliminating the final year of the deal in 2022. Lewis, who is competing for the starting RG spot, is now scheduled to be a free agent in 2022.

Here’s what Jets’ Zach Wilson must show during OTAs, minicamp, as he tries to become franchise QB | Is he ready to start Week 1?

Today 6:45 AM

First day of Jets rookie minicamp

Facebook Share
Twitter Share

The Jets began organized team activities earlier this week, on Monday.

 

But Thursday is a big day in Florham Park. That’s because it’ll be the first fully open practice for quarterback Zach Wilson, the second overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.

 

The Jets had two partially open practices during rookie minicamp earlier this month. Then their Monday and Wednesday OTAs practices were completely closed to reporters.

 
 

Thursday’s is fully open — the first of three open OTAs this spring for the Jets. Their three-day, mandatory minicamp in mid-June also will be fully open.

 
 

So that’ll be six (of 13 total) practices for reporters to check out Wilson, who is trying to become the Jets’ long-sought franchise quarterback solution.

 
 

What does Wilson need to show the Jets’ new coaching staff this spring? Let’s take a look at a few things.

 
 

But let’s first note this obvious disclaimer: These are, ultimately, just voluntary spring practices (with the exception of the minicamp). They’re no-pads, no-contact workouts. So it’s not like Wilson will be able to prove a ton during the spring. And there’s no pressure on him to do that.

 
 

Yet there are several important things he can do, as he gets on the practice field with veterans — and in front of reporters over a prolonged stretch — for the first time.

 
 

• Begin to master the offense: This might seem unreasonable, but it’s really not. The Jets will use a Mike/Kyle Shanahan-style West Coast offense that’s similar to what Wilson ran at BYU. Plus, it’s not like the Jets have an established veteran quarterback on their roster, like the 49ers (veteran Jimmy Garoppolo/high-profile rookie Trey Lance). So it’s at least somewhat reasonable to expect Wilson to prove this summer that he’ll be ready to start in Week 1. A big part of that process begins in the spring — and in the meeting/film room. That work is just as important as what happens at practice. Wilson needs to learn this offense quickly.

 
 

• Take charge immediately: On the field, Wilson faces a steep learning curve — both schematically and with the level of competition — as he comes from BYU, which played a fairly easy schedule last year. The adjustment won’t be easy, of course, which is why the Jets shouldn’t rush Wilson into a Week 1 starting role if he’s not ready. But there are things Wilson can control this spring and summer.

 
 

And one of those is his demeanor, as he interacts with teammates on the practice field. The Jets are still a young, impressionable team. Wilson won’t be asked to lead a roster full of veterans. He needs to get out there, take charge, and show he is capable of leading confidently. Remember, as the No. 2 overall pick — and with no proven veteran quarterback in place — Wilson is already The Guy. He must act like it.

 
 

• Develop a rapport with Mike LaFleur: He is, of course, the Jets’ new offensive coordinator. He’s never been an NFL offensive coordinator, so he’s going to be learning on the job, just like Wilson. They need to get used to each other’s personalities — everything from pointers in practice to how LaFleur will read off plays to Wilson during games. Making this relationship work, beginning this spring, is a major factor in whether Wilson can thrive as a rookie and beyond.

 
 

 

 
 

• Avoid injuries: Well, yeah. Wilson isn’t going to practice cautiously or think about injuries when he’s on the field in Florham Park. But considering how much spring practices actually matter in the grand scheme of things — not a ton — it would be absolutely brutal for the Jets if Wilson suffered any kind of significant injury. They need to protect him, and he needs to protect himself. Learn about the offense, get some fairly low-intensity practice reps, develop relationships with teammates and LaFleur ... and get out of the spring healthy. That’ll be a successful spring for Wilson.
