jtomm Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Jets' Training Camp Countdown Series Asks Nine Important Questions Heading into NFL Preseason RALPH VENTRE - 7/16/23 The Jets Country Training Camp Countdown, a series of nine questions, runs from July 10 through 18, counting down the days until rookies and veterans report to the New York Jets' facility on July 19. Gang Green will go to work with four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers at the controls on offense and key returnees from the league's fourth-ranked defense.The Jets' report date is one week earlier than that of 30 other NFL teams due to the team's participation in this year's Hall of Fame Game. The Green & White will kick off the NFL Preseason game schedule in an exhibition against the Cleveland Browns on August 3 in Canton, OH. "We have the first preseason game that everybody loves, the Hall of Fame Game, which means we come back a week early," said Rodgers on the final day of OTAs. Potential No-Shows and Absence Will there be any no-shows? After not attending voluntary OTAs, All-Pro DT Quinnen Williams was viewed by some as training camp holdout candidate. Any speculation, however, was silenced when the Jets awarded Williams a massive four-year contract extension on July 13. Offense Installation Timeline How quickly can the Jets' upgraded unit come together and begin to operate at a high level? The Jets' offense features a new quarterback, a new mix of skill position players and a new offensive coordinator. They'll have six weeks to get the engine revved and everyone moving in lock step together. Plugging New Pieces into Defense How efficiently will the replacement parts fit into a defense that operated at a near-optimal level last year? Gang Green experienced turnover at defensive tackle and safety this offseason and will feature a different starting lineup as a result. Starters' Post-Surgery Health Status Who will return to their pre-injury form by the conclusion of the NFL Preseason? The Jets are banking on contributions from a group of key offensive players who suffered season-interrupting injuries that required surgery last year. Finding the O-Line Starting Five How will the pieces fit across the front five and how quickly will they develop the necessary chemistry? "That o-line, you want it to gel. In a perfect world, the same five play 17 games and then you’re rolling," said Saleh. Role of the Rookies How much will Gang Green's rookies contribute in 2023? There are multiple potential contributors among the group of draftees, but none are as highly-touted as Sauce Gardner and Garrett Wilson were coming out of college. >> https://www.si.com/nfl/jets/news/jets-training-camp-countdown-series-asks-nine-important-questions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 As far as I can tell McDonald and Tippmann haven’t signed. Not worried but this team doesn’t have a great track record getting first round picks in camp on time. Will CJ or Davis agree to a pay cut ? Will Ashtyn Davis be a cap casualty? Will Mims be a cap casualty? Why the heck did they draft Barnes ? Special teams and Will ? Mike ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
