Honest Review #9

Honest Review #9-M.I.A. in Miami
Well that was a typical Jet loss. The Jets grabbed the lead with 5:47 left to go in the game, only to give the lead back to Miami due to an offside penalty by the Jets on the ensuing kickoff. Penalties was a huge issue for the Jets the entire game, collecting 10 for 77 yards against them. Ryan Fitzpatrick didn’t help the Jets too much, throwing two interceptions, with one coming in the redzone. The Jets were just 1/5 in the redzone when trying to score a touchdown.

The first three trips into the redzone were points, but by the foot of Nick Folk. Then the interception, then obviously the touchdown to Jalin Marshall. Another problem for the Jets was third down efficiency. New York only went 3/11 on third down. Matt Fortè played well, having 92 yards on the ground with a touchdown. Brandon Marshall also played well (when he wasn’t being attacked by Byron Maxwell) having six catches for 45 yards and leading the team in receptions. Marshall needs to find his way into the endzone in Week 11 to get this offense going.

The Jets defense has shown once again why they are one of the best in the league. The defense didn’t allow Jay Ajayi to get loose at any point in the game. Yes, they did allow Ajayi get over 100 yards on the ground, but they locked him up for 3 quarters. Most of those yards where on his 20-yard touchdown runs, and the runs that would ice the game, with 2 minutes or less in the game. The Jets defense was in a bend but don’t break mentality and it worked for most of the game. The reasons that the Jets lost this game was simply because they killed themselves with penalties, turnovers, and poor special teams. If you lose those battles, you will most likely loss the football game. The good news for the Jets and Jet fans, the Jets have a much needed bye week this upcoming week, so they will have time to prepare for Los Angeles Rams and then the Patriots for the following week. I like to say that the most important football in the regular season is on either side of the bye week. You need to play well before the bye and you need to play even better on the latter half of the bye week. Us as fans get a break from the 3 hour plus heart attacks that we endure each and every week. So as always LET’S GO J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!

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
