Day 52

Fresh Start_52: Attention Passengers
One of our engines is down and Eric Decker is out for the season. Decker is going to need season ending shoulder surgery, with an eight-month recovery period. The next man up mentality applies here to the absolute highest extent. Quincy Enunwa needs to step up and become the receiver that he has hinted at throughout the year. Austin Seferian Jenkins needs to be the tight-end that the Jets need and have wanted for the past four years. Seferian Jenkins has shown spurts of being an all-pro tight-end with four touchdowns in only seven games.
Eric Decker will be missed tremendously and his production will not be surpassed this season. Decker is the best number two target in the league. Decker had 1,027 receiving yards and twelve touchdowns last year and would have been a huge part of the past two games and possible have had an impact to win one of those games, based on the production and talent level of Decker. Ryan Fitzpatrick has had a tough time already this season, leading the league in interceptions and losing one of his favorite targets. Brandon Marshall has to step up even more than he already has for the Jets to be competitive. I still feel confident that the Jets will win the next six weeks, even with the tough Arizona Cardinals defense on Monday Night this week. Matt Fortè will have to come out of the coffin that he has been in since Kansas City to get pressure off of Fitzpatrick and let the monster receivers that the Jets have to make plays, ultimately getting the immense pressure that has been the Jets defense since 2010. The calling card is out there, and the man who answers the call will be showered with applause from Jets fans everywhere. Planes don’t need every engine to fly, but let’s hope the 2016 season plane doesn’t crash and burn.

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...
