Which Jets looked good / bad last night?

[OtherwiseHappyinLife]

A little break from Rodgers.

From what I saw (I didn’t see all of the 2nd half) …

Studs:  Whitehead, Quincy, Jefferson, JJ, Adams, Breece, Garrett, Gipson, Greg the Leg

Extremely promising that our safeties, one of our starting LBs, our new starting DT opposite Q, and Special Teams looked so good.

And obviously Breece showing how impactful he can be even if not fully 100%.  That vision and patience on his opening run was a thing of beauty and his best play.  

Duds:  Brown, Mosley, Jets OLine Coach

Brown was a big liability on numerous plays, evident that at best he is working himself back into playing shape.  

Mosley should be replaced on all true passing downs.  He’s ‘painfully’ slow in zone closing in on the TE or RB after the catch.  The Jets gave the Bills this play early and it cost them.  A speedy linebacker with closing ability is so obvious if this is how the Jets intend to play.  

I don’t like those cut blocks, even if Rodgers was at fault for not getting the ball out quickly.  Why get cute with an aging LT and a recovering RT?

Couldn’t really tell?  Sauce, Reed & Carter II gave up some plays …. not that surprising given the competition.  Would like to see the Jets secondary close out the game before OT.

I thought Becton looked OK in the first half, cut block aside (which might not be his thing at 6 foot 8).  I know he had a holding penalty later that was declined.

On Mosely - what’s the point of drafting all these safeties to turn them into LBs if you’re not going to use their speed and coverage skills?  I agree, he’s more of a 2 down guy now.

How did Sherwood look?

Lol. Cook and the Bills tight ends combined for 67 yds receiving. Averaging 6 yds a reception. Shame on Mosley. Please.

[PS17]

Blown away by Breece Hall. Again. 

[SomebodytoAnybody47]

Biggest question mark/head scratcher was not playing Mecole Hardman. AT ALL. Zero snaps. Cobb had 22. 

I'm not saying he's G. Wilson but super weird.

That’s not my point.  It’s getting off the field on third down and if you can’t see how slow Mosley is closing on them, I don’t know what to tell you.

Shame on me for calling out areas the team can improve on.  Mosley won’t get beat bad but he’ll allow you to move the chains.  I want this Defense to be dominant.

Good- Hall, G. Wilson, Jermaine Johnson, the brothers Williams, DJ Reed

not good- Cook, Duane Brown, Gardner, Zach

He's a very good football player. An upgrade to Mosley would be finding a pro bowler caliber player to replace him. Your right, he doesn't close on plays as much as you like. But he prevents big plays by following his assignments. Knox is a good tight end.  There's a reason why Allen didn't throw his way. Too risky. Mosley was right there

I do think there is a lot to like.  I’m really only calling out what I consider to be a big enough liability on third down passing sets and vs scrambling QBs like Allen.

The guy has had a great career and is clearly well respected.  Sometimes that might keep a player on the field more than he should be.  At the very least, I’d like to see a couple of these younger LBs get an opportunity on passing downs.

I hate to say it but Sauce didn't look his best.  I'm not saying he was bad, but he certainly was not the complete shutdown CB we saw all of last season.

Studs: Hall, Wilson, JJ, Whitehead, Qx2, Greg

Duds: Rodgers, Brown, Brown, Brown, OL, Mosley

To be fair he has always had a problem with Diggs

Sherwood was invisible last night. Maybe that Chaz dude will see some playing time as the season goes on. I don't disagree with you. I just thing in coverage he prevents plays going his way, because he's such a smart player. No splash plays. Would love to see that. That's what we notice, we don't notice a QB looking Mosleys way then going somewhere else, because Mosley is too close the reciever.
