They should improve together going forward. One thing I've noticed about Zach, he truly doesn't seem to GAF about stepping back in after a mistake. Hopefully he keeps that, its a quality that might be the most important for a Jets rookie QB. 1 hour ago, kdels62 said: Also I noticed at the scrimmage a healthy amount of blitzing, especially the nickel and FS. Blitzes out of sub packages are more common in Ulbrich’s defense than Saleh’s so we’ll see where it ends up. Probably a formation problem then. I hope they figure out the playbook soon, it's live bullets in a few days lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleDown Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 It's obviously early, but when is the right time to start getting concerned about Douglas' top picks? Mekhi Becton is getting schooled on a daily basis. Denzel Mims is running with the 2s and 3s and making mental mistakes. Zach Wilson is stacking "uneven" practices. Vera-Tucker is injured. The only player meeting expectations seems to be Elijah Moore. There are alot of red flags whether people want to admit it or not. Unless things turn around drastically, this is going to be another long, disappointing season. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will be fine against most pass rushers. Mims was not built for this offense. He will be traded. Zach Wilson is a rookie. making rookie problems like every other rookie QB in the league... Up and Down... Vera-tucker is injured... you are correct... What about Austin? or Hall? The now starting duo of CBs on the team... What about Davis calling plays on Def... What about Rankins signing, Lawson signing, Joyner signing How about getting Crowder to take a pay cut, Drafting MC, signing coleman, and continuously bringing in new OL to 'solve' the OL issue. If you think this team is worse then the last two years you have not been paying attention. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All Gas, No Gase Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I’ve been enjoying a lot of the threads for some time now. A lot of great posters here with some WTF posters sprinkled in for added spice. I’ve decided to jump into the madness. IMO, it’s way too early to make any judgment or conclusions on Zach Wilson. In his first two weeks practicing in the NFL he has been learning the new installs, experiencing the speed of the NFL while dealing with the DL generally making the backfield their playground. Has there ever been a rookie QB shine in the first two weeks of camp while playing with the 1s? Idk, just asking. From what I understand, Trevor is having his issues, and Justin and Trey have been playing with the 2s. Now that the installs are complete, if Zach is going to develop into a good to great QB, I expect to see him make gradual improvement with rookie bumps in his performance. Because of his work ethic and passion to get better and for the game, I’m cautiously optimistic he will at least become a good quarterback. Here’s to hoping he does. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkeyeJet Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 So I’m being a bit of a prick by saying this, but everyone keeps pointing back to Saturday with the term scrimmage and also implying it was slightly more important than other practices. That thing Saturday, by all the accounts Saturday was far from a scrimmage and real close to any other practice, just held inside the stadium with some pizzazz for the fans. Wilson still has had some rough sledding, regardless. That said, he still hasn’t played in anything all that close to a real game situation. Hopefully he shows some improvement soon. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think it's unreasonable to put away the green colored glasses and call things as they are. It's not looking great, but again, it is still early.

If it comes together, it would be a shame to miss enjoying the ride. Unrealistic expectations were shattered. So what that happens every season for every team.

Very young team with coaches in new roles. By week 8 you hope to see the promise. This is a crucial rebuilding year but expectations are different now. Its clear they have work to do, but they deserve time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 1 hour ago, kdels62 said: Well that’s the rub isn’t it. It is more important that the offense learn the play and go through the motions than for them to try and trick the defense. It’s also more important for Becton to line up 1v1 and learn to deal with Lawson than it is to make line adjustments and draw up misdirections. It’s practice. Let’s not be ridiculous. Your 2nd year prospective pro bowl tackle suddenly has confidence issue because he is getting killed each practice by a good pass rusher but one who seems to be just pinning it back each play. Part of learning the system is learning under game conditions. Not to mention not dealing with anything other than pin your ears pass rush does not help lawson either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be different in games. Keep in mind, they're really not blocking running plays with any force - and it's short spurts. Lawson would be getting the sh*t kicked out of him on running plays, wearing him down, building Becton's confidence - keeping him a little off kilter. Right now Lawson is basically just pinning his ears back - and running around a guy that's unable to use his biggest advantage. Becton will be fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
