Jets Season in Review

Well we are here again way too soon for my liking. The New York Jets yet again did not make the playoffs for the fifth consecutive season. Although this team did prove a lot to people including me improving from four wins to ten. The acquisitions of Brandon Marshall, Darrelle Revis, and many others gave me hope that we would make a strong push for the playoffs, which did happen, but what I hoped for fell short due to a couple of terrible losses against the Raiders, Texans, and Bills(twice). Those are games that the great teams take care of business and move on to the next game. Todd Bowles and his staff did an excellent in their first season with the organization has to be proud with what happened this season, like I said many people did not know what was going to happen when all these new players were brought in with the new GM and head coach. It definitely was a building year and as a Jets fan I am extremely happy with what happened this season, I really enjoyed the ride I just wish it was a little longer.
The Jets this offseason is a complete one eighty from last year and with this great season comes the extraction of free agents. On the offensive side of the ball the Jets are fine in free agency, they will just have to address the issue of offensive line depth in the draft. On defense though they have to get outside linebacker help big time. The Jets defense is a one of the best in the league the front office will have to do some work this offseason retaining the guys on the defense to be great for many seasons to come. If I was Mike Maccagnan I would franchise tag Mohammed Wilkerson, give Demario Davis and David Harris their money for being studs on the inside of that defense for years. I would also sign Ryan Fitzpatrick to a two year deal because the last thing the Jets need is a new quarterback. After that is all done I would focus my attention on Chris Ivory and a new outside linebacker. Three guys I have in mind for those OLB spots are Chad Greenway, Aldon Smith, or Dwight Freeney. Greenway may be difficult to snatch away from Minnesota, the fourth guy on my list would be Courtney Upshaw. All of these guys are veterans that have a great football knowledge and would be great fits in an already good defense and would bring this defense and team to another level.
Moving on to the draft… this is where the Jets need to draft some skill players for depth reasons. Two positions that make the most sense to me is offensive line and cornerback. If they do not address the linebacker liability in free agency then they have to draft an OLB in the first round.
The future is bright for the Jets and the long-time loyal fans will be jumping up and down feeling we are on top of the world for the next four, five years or so.

The 2023 Offseason is Brian Cashman's Biggest Test Yet

Image
   Now that the World Series is over five days from now the offseason begins. With that in mind, this is the biggest offseason that Brian Cashman will have in his 25-year tenure as Yankee General Manager. For the first time since 2016 the Bronx Bombers watched the postseason from their couches, and they earned that right. Amazingly, this team finished over .500, although not that far above that mark. This iteration of the Bronx Bombers finish with the same record as that 2016 team—but the feeling with this squad feels different. Following the 2016 season, there was hope of the two power bats that would usher in the “Baby Bombers,” and in that offseason, the farm system was rated in the Top 10 in all of baseball. There was almost certainty that Brian Cashman would put a championship team around Aaron Judge, Gary Sanchez, Greg Bird, and Luis Severino that would be a title contender for years to come. There was hope. And that hope almost turned into reality. Almost. But, that was then

The Question going into the Trade Deadline for the New York Yankees

  There is a crossroads in the Bronx in between River and 161 st Street right now. As New York Yankee Manager Aaron Boone likes to put it “[the season] is right in front of them.” The second half of the season is for the taking. As we move into the dog days of summer the Bronx Bombers are nine games out of the division and now a game and a half out of the AL Wild Card race following a disappointing first series in Colorado. With that, the historic starting Tampa Bay Rays have cooled off, going 3-7 before the break while showing signs of being mortal. Baltimore, who has been keeping pace with Tampa, didn’t look like a Superpower when they split against the Yankees two series before the break. The AL East is still a Spartan Training Facility with every team above .500, the Orioles holding the first Wild Card spot, and the “struggling” Boston Red Sox tied the Yankees in the Wild Card race. And unlike Robin Williams in Mrs. Doubtfire, help is not on the way. Aaron Judge’s toe is still a m

The Answer for the Mets

  As Yogi Berra would say “it’s déjà vu all over again.” Buck Showalter is an all too familiar place. The 67-year-old manager has taken a time machine back to 2012. No, he is not managing in Baltimore anymore, however that’s what it feels like the end of Showalter’s Oriole tenure in Queens right now. The Mets simply can’t get out of their own way. With Pete Alonso likely headed to the Injured List, the Mets scored 10 runs last night in Atlanta. 10 runs on the heels of back-to-back gut-wrenching losses at the hands of the team that has foiled the Mets for the better part of almost three decades, the Atlanta Braves. 10 runs with their hired ace, Justin Verlander, who was looking to put together good starts consecutively for the first time all season. The Mets looked like they were about to exercise some demons in Atlanta last night, and then, the other shoe dropped. It wasn’t good enough. Again. Last night, I wrote that the Mets season was on the line with Verlander toeing the slab. Well
