JetNation Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago The New York Jets have a problem. It’s a problem that has persisted for decades and continues to plague them today. They can’t move the football. Even after replacing a lot of what was virtually practice squad level talent to go along with a Hall of Fame QB, they’re sputtering. While there are no quick fixes that will turn them in to the greatest show on turf overnight, there are some subtle changes that may get them trending in the right direction. A few suggestions. Activate Anthony Firkser: There’s no way around it. The Jets, who love to use tons of 12 personnel packages need to get a tight end on the field who isn’t a complete liability as a blocker. Firkser isn’t exactly George Kittle in that respect, but the veteran is certainly better than rookie Brenden Bates and veteran Jeremy Ruckert. Firkser also played for the Titans under new Jets offensive coordinator Todd Downing. Give Malachi Corley a look: Rookie receiver Malahi Corley has just one catch for four yards this season which is inexcusable. Talk all you like about his need to develop his route tree, but Corley should certainly be able to bring more to the table than Xavier Gipson. If you can’t block, which the Jets can’t right now, then go to the guy who can create his own yards after the catch, which is the strongest part of Corley’s game. Get moving on offense: The lack of motion used by the Jets on offense is ridiculous in today’s NFL. An easy tool to help read the defense, it feels like the Jets will go games at a time without using it. That has to change. More Mike Williams: Not every deep shot requires a 7-step drop. Line Rodgers up in shotgun and let him sling it after 2 steps. Target Mike Williams down the field on some deep balls if they continue avoiding Garrett Wilson in double coverage and see what the veteran can do. Let Izzy get busy?: Running back Izzy Abanikanda has done very little as a pro, but he also hasn’t had much of a shot to touch the ball. When you can’t move the football, why not give the most explosive player on your roster a few touches and see what he can do? Added Red Zone Target: It’s a long shot, but as long as the Jets are happy to go to battle with a couple of tight ends who couldn’t block their way out of a paper bag, why not elevate second-year tight end Zack Kuntz? The 6′ 8” target could/should be an option for Aaron Rodgers in the red zone where Downing has done some of his best work as an OC.The post What Tweaks can Jets Make to Help get Offense Going? appeared first on JetNation.com - New York Jets Blog & Forum.Click here to read the full story...

If they wanted to be innovative use him in certain series or for plays to change things up. Rodgers might even go along with it considering his limited and diminishing mobility. Any more big hits and he could be done. Why not use the guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adoni Beast Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago • Block better • Which should open up the run game • Throw some pre-snap motion • Get the TEs involved in pass attempts early in the game so the D doesn’t know if our TE sets will be run or pass plays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rangerous Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago The oline needs to block better. If firkser is a better blocker than bates then put him in. And Corley should get in if only to show a different look. I’m not that sold on motion. Many plays can be run from the same formation so I don’t see where motion tells much. The whole thing about Rodgers is he’s seen everything and is unlikely to be fooled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FootballLove Posted 8 hours ago Share Posted 8 hours ago Funny thing is, we can very easily start playing again like our domination of the Pats, run pass run pass, didn't matter...it all worked out. And our new-found offensive dominance could have nothing to do with Saleh/Ulbrich/Hackett, and everything to do with Moses coming back!

OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago Quick strike offense opening quarter. That’s where the Jets lose the game because they aren’t good enough or built to wear an opponent down | force turnovers | ultimately come back from a deficit. Dummy Saleh has failed to realize the importance of strong starts via strategic game planning. Many answers in this thread are in the weeds when the key is much higher.

More Breece and less Allen please. So you are focusing on 2 or 3 carries and not the entire season so far? How many carries has Hall had for zero yards? He couldn't do sh*t against Denver in any short yardage situations. Allen has been by far the more explosive, better back. 4.5 YPC vs 3.0 for Hall. Hall has had B2B games of 4 and 23 yards. Yea we need more of Hall running in mud. GTFO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
