Honest Review #13

Honest Review #13- The Good, the Bad, the Petty
That wasn’t pretty at by any means, but a win is a win. As us Jet fans know, I win counts just the same it doesn’t matter if you win by 1 or 50. Bryce Petty in his second career start gets his first career win and a walk-off win at that. The day didn’t start off well with the first pass from Petty being intercepted as Matt Fortè went to the locker room with a knee injury and didn’t return.

Todd Bowels’ job is safe for this season, and the Jets backup that trust in Bowels with the best second half performance of the season. This was a total team win. The offensive line is banged up and the team as a whole got desimated by the injury bug, but the entire team willed and outplayed to get this win. It was never racking to listen to on the drive back up to college, but it is a nice end to a great Sunday.

Bilal Powell stepped up in a big way rushing for 145 yards and 2 touchdowns. Powell also ran in the game winning touchdown after a holding penalty back the Jets up. The defense stepped up huge, not allowing San Francisco to reach the end zone for the final 3 quarters. As a matter a fact, the 9’ers didn’t reach the end zone after the first two drives of the game. Robby Anderson and Austin Seferian Jenkins were big parts of this win having 99 and 35 yards respectively. Petty in his first career win, didn’t throw a touchdown but had 257 and that interception. Petty got better as the game went on, and I will take this game with a grain of salt because this is against a team that is now 1-11. We will what Petty can do at home against the Dolphins on Saturday night at 8:30 PM EST. The Dolphins just lost Ryan Tannehill for the season with an ACL injury. Matt Moore will start for Miami, and that is good news for the Jets defense.

The defense bended but didn’t break, pitching a shout out in the second half, while not allowing the 9’ers in the end zone the majority of the game. The old guy David Harris lead the team with 8 total tackles, with Marcus Williams, Jordan Jenkins, and Leonard Williams all chipped in with sacks. Darrelle Revis played well against the ‘9ers so hopefully his season can turn around turning into a productive 2017 season. But, it’s on to Miami at home and as always LET’S GO J-E-TS 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
