Bingo. Between Josh Allen’s season ender and Zach Wilson’s emergence the AFC East is ours. Just worried about the AFC Championship Game. We could have used Lawson against the Chiefs. Sucks.

But they did have several promising seasons from young defensive linemen, namely Quinnen Williams, Folorunso Fatukasi and John Franklin-Myers. Those three all finished among the top 35 interior defenders in the NFL in overall grade last season.

Against Becton who has apparently been bad all around? I promise you when the regular season came around Lawson was not going to be a game wrecker. He's a pretty good pass rusher. You overpaid a little bit for him, which is fine because that's what you do to get free agents from other teams. But he has never been a game wrecker. 17 minutes ago, Beerfish said: If Stephon Diggs tore his Achilles, I;m sure the brave bills fans would have no angst and just smile and next man up. We are in a completely different part of our life cycle as a team. When Josh Allen was a rookie if Tre'Davious White had torn his achilles I would have been devastated for him. But it would not have changed my outlook on that season. And White is a much better player than Lawson. Until you guys are in a Super Bowl window don't worry about it. Lawson has a full year to get ready for next season, 2 years to get ready for the first season you should be in your championship window if Wilson develops. The only possible bad scenario for the Jets this year is that Wilson, or maybe Elijah Moore, suffer a season ending injury. You're probably a 6 win team at best no matter what else happens. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In '96, their sorry season was epitomized by what happened to O'Donnell on Dec. 1. Returning from a six-game shoulder injury, he tore a calf muscle in pregame warm-ups. In a light rain, he practiced his dropbacks in the end zone and slipped on the Jets' logo that was painted on the artificial-turf at the old Giants Stadium. The injury was so severe that it ended his season. And there you go!!! Smdh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was telling folks to pump the brakes a bit on expectations, the season was going to be different then just pinning your ears in practice but it was hard not to get caught up in the way he was being hyped with all the reports. Truth be told, we were hoping with Lawson to begin with as he's never been a double digit sack guy, has an injury history and is really a 1 trick pony but still, the reports were drool worthy and this definitely takes some wind out of the sail. Agreed. I like Lawson and was excited to see him, but this doesn't give the D carte blanche to suck. Speed/motor guys always look better in shells anyway. I'm not busting on anybody for being down about it. They will have to make adjustments, but I don't see it as the end of all good things for the D.

THE BARON Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 A letdown, but not a big surprise. I had zero expectation of Lawson or Cashman staying healthy regardless of how good they look between injuries. For me, the bigger worry is the offensive line. Questions with Becton now and AVT nursing a soft tissue injury. I don't want a mangled QB. EVERYTHING depends on Wilson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defense Wins Championships Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Losing Carl Lawson stinks I went from talking Jets playoffs and top 3 Defense to feeling down as a Jets fan and within the blink of an eye too. This guy ranks top 3 in QB hits throughout the previous two seasons and Lawson's injury has me feeling like C.J Mosley Buffalo week 1 all over again. What I'm really down about is all 3 of Quinnen Williams, C.J. Mosley and our younger CBs because losing Carl Lawson hurts all 3 and I can't seem to shake this feeling off :-( What I'm most disappointed about is now QBs won't struggle 24/7 because we'll have 0 pressure from the edge this stinks.

I was here telling people to calm down when Zach Wilson was throwing training camp interceptions. Your fanbase is trolling itself. Be realistic with where you are as a team. You have a rookie QB that needs at least one year of seasoning and a rebuilding roster. So the one strength of your team got weaker. Oh well. Enjoy watching Wilson develop if he does.

Russh29 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Carl Lawson's loss is a helluva blow and I admit to feeling pretty deflated when I heard the news yesterday, BUT...2021 is all about Zach Wilson and his development. I'm far more interested in the recovery and progress of AVT and Elijah Moore and getting Becton back to being that dominant blindside protector. Those are 3 players that will be vital to Zach's development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
