Honest Review #5

Honest Review #5: Déjà vu all over again
The good news is Fitzpatrick didn’t throw a pick. Bad news is the Jets lost again. As a Jet fan you would think that I am used to it. However, I have to say that with each loss the pain grows deeper and deeper with the amount of talent the team has on both sides of the ball. On offense we have two of the best players in their respective positions—that being Brandon Marshall and Matt Fortè. Ryan Fitzpatrick has been nothing short of terrible this season, but the offense is somehow we are still in the games. The defense has been working their asses off to keep the score close.
I honestly don’t know how the Jets didn’t win this game. At one point deep into the fourth quarter the Jets were winning in turnovers, time of possession, and rushing yards. Looking at the numbers the game should have been closer than it was. The one number that isn’t too promising is the third down conversion percentage in game was 2/11 or 18%. Brandon Marshall had a great game minus the three key drops that were drive killers. This team is just one step, one second off a route from clicking on all cylinders. The team looked out of sync yet again without Eric Decker, but Austin Seferian Jenkins wasn’t as involved as he should be. What Chan Gailey and Ryan Fitzpatrick need to understand is that this man could drive this team to another level. What Quincy Enunwa is doing could be times by two with the ability of Seferian Jenkins. The defense didn’t play as well as I would have liked them to, but like I said they kept the team in the game for the majority of the game.
The defense can only do so much for the offense without giving up a couple of big plays to one of the NFL’s best offenses. The body of work that Sheldon Richardson and Marcus Williams did today has to be shined out above anyone of the team. Those two were giving the Pittsburgh offense nightmares. Richardson had an interception and two tackles. While Marcus Williams had seven total tackles and held Antonio Brown under one hundred yards receiving. The team has talent and it just hasn’t clicked on all cylinders consistently yet. The next five-week streak however, might change the look of the Jets season. The next five games are against Arizona, Baltimore, Cleveland, and Los Angeles. Every one of those games the Jets can compete in and ultimately win. For a team that is in dire need of a “W” you could see a Jets team, despite all the injuries, show up to Glendale, Arizona, and completely run the Cardinals out of the building.

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...
