If you have ADD there are tricks and strategies to compensate for it, plus medication. It does take extra work though. Probably why he’s been here all offseason.

I’m not drafting a guy in the 1st round and not expecting him to produce.

Nobody takes joy in criticizing him. We’re frustrated as hell with him and his actions, the same way we’d be with any other player who had a similar track record. The guy was a 1st round draft pick, and from day one he’s been tapping out of practices and games, ballooned up to 400 lbs, played the clown on social media, and to top it off can’t stay healthy for reasons both in and out of his control. We all know we’re a better team with him performing well, but I mean come on. I get all that. I get the skepticism and frustration. I am skeptical myself. But there sure seem to be some folks who are rooting against him, hoping that their 'fat tub of goo' takes will be correct. Maybe not you. I agree that It seems as if he did not take his craft seriously the first three seasons. He has had his share of bad luck, but he brought some of it on himself. He has been overweight. Seemed to tap out of a couple of games as a rookie. HIs social media persona is that of an immature kid. I can agree with all that. But this offseason, he has lost about 50 pounds. Appears to be in the best shape of his life, certainly the best shape he has been in since we drafted him. He is on the field full go for the start of camp. These are encouraging signs. He is 24 years old, hopefully he has grown up this past year and is ready to get his career back on track. Maybe he does get hurt again and if he does, this post will look stupid (wouldn't be my first to look stupid in retrospect) but there are some on this site that I would expect to be high fiving each other because their takes were right. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of last yrs stats, but I'd estimate the Jets defense was bottom half vs. run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of last yrs stats, but I'd estimate the Jets defense was bottom half vs. run. They were 16th, essentially tied with the Eagles a fraction behind at 17. They were third in passing yards, fifth in total yards (to get an idea of how consequential rushing yards are) and forth in points allowed. People like to all about the LBs here a lot, but the Jets ran a 4-2-5 defense last year 65% of the time at a time when their offense wasn’t a threat to score. In the NFL, three WRs on offense and the nickel defense are now the base. LBs aren’t a concern of mine, especially considering the quality, depth, and fresh legs rotation on the DL. I don’t think anyone’s running over them. If Rodgers and company can add a TD per game over last year’s #29 scoring offense, that would move them into the top 10. At that point, opponents wouldn’t be able to try to focus on the run. Unless or until there are some major shifts in the league, it’s all about throwing the ball and stopping the other team from throwing the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For 16th in the run defense, they looked a hell of a lot worse in 2022. You can fluff it off all you want, but without a run defense that is effective, the defense is going to have a lot of 2nd/3rd and short yardage. It's the biggest deficit in the defense.
