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.

2024 MLB Preview

  Opening Day is about 24 hours away and the Shohei Ohtani gambling story has stole all the headlines and fleeting moments of baseball conversation over the past few days, many have now forgotten about the exciting marathon ahead of us! Even with the ever-evolving Ohtani story clouding the beginning of the Los Angeles Dodgers season, that doesn’t change the fact that L.A. is still the team to beat in baseball. The Dodgers have put their chips at the center of the table, no pun intended, for 2024 to show they can raise another World Series trophy after sending upwards of a billion dollars in free agency. In division however, the surprise Arizona Diamondbacks are capitalizing on their newfound championship window with a fantastic offseason that will have them in the mix to get back to a second straight fall classic. The San Diego Padres are done shopping for superstars, sort of, following a massively disappointing season that saw them move on from one of the games generational talent...

Dan Hurley Saved College Basketball

When you think of Men’s College Basketball, the names of Wooden, Dean, Krzyzewski, Williams, Thompson, and Calipari shoot to mind right away. All the memories of the great teams from UCLA, Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky, the Big East, UNLV, and even the Fab Five start to rush back. Nostalgia of a time when the sport meant something different. For all those longing for the days when great teams didn’t dissipate into the transfer portal after one disappointing year—Dan Hurley and the Connecticut Huskies are here to save the day! UConn has done something that only seven other programs have done in the history of college basketball, repeat as champions. Forget all the talk about “best team of all-time,” even though if you look at point differential (like it truly matters), this UConn team is the best team to ever play in the NCAA Tournament. This team means much more to the game of college basketball than that. Coach Hurley has given college basketball what it has been missing since the in...

Last Year the Season was one game long, it's different this year

  It took 363 days, but Jets fans finally got the debut from Aaron Rodgers they waited for. This time around that debut ended in a blowout loss on the road to the San Francisco 49’ers. Last year the Jets won the battle but lost the war following their overtime walk-off win against the Buffalo Bills. This year, the Jets hope they lost the battle but because they have Rodgers they will win the war.   Of all the ways the game could have gone last night, having the Jets defense get thoroughly dominated on the ground by a third year running back, Jordan Mason, who wasn’t a household name until last night, wasn’t on the bingo card. The trademark for Robert Saleh has been his defense. That’s what got him hired from San Francisco. The defense is what Jet fans have pointed to as a reason for optimism heading into this year with Rodgers. The defense was finally supposed to get the complimentary football they have been dying for since Robert Saleh walked in the doors at Florham Park...
