Honest Review #14


Honest Review #14- Where is the offensive line?

I don’t know how the losses keep getting worse and worse week after week. As the weeks go along, the team just keeps having brain farts all of the place, particularly on defense. The blown coverages this week were all over the place. The play of the secondary was awful—more specifically the play of the safeties on the Miami wide receivers.


However, this game cannot solely fall on the secondary. The offensive line almost tried to kill the future of the Jets organization aka Bryce Petty. Petty took one of the worst hits I have ever personally seen from Cameron Wake and Suh. Petty didn’t play all that bad given to the situations that he was given thanks to the play of the offensive line. Petty did throw 2 interceptions and only one was his fault. The second interception was a fade route that got rushed due to the pass rush in Petty’s face. Bryce was 20/36 for 235 a touchdowns and those 2 interceptions. I liked our chances going into the 4th quarter with Petty in the game, but that quickly went away when Petty got injured and Ryan Fitzpatrick went into the game. Fitz played like his typical self—throwing an interception on the final play of the game.
The question now arises if Petty can’t go next week against New England, who is under center for the Jets next week? Fitzpatrick will obviously will be the number one option, but will Hackenburg dress for the game next week? The rumors around the Jets have been that Hackenburg will not play this season, but you have to prepare for a possible Fitzpatrick injury.

 The offense didn’t help the horrific secondary by going 3 and out for most of the game. Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa did not get open for Petty and that forced Petty to fit the ball into tight windows to Robby Anderson which forces Petty into a ton of mistakes. Matt Forte just disappeared until the 4th quarter. Brandon Marshall and Quincy Enunwa dropped balls that you have to have no matter what. You need to catch the ball when it hits you in the hand. I have been preaching this the entire season, the talent that this team has—not only on offense but all over the product on the field is just unacceptable.


Todd Bowles in his press conference took the blame for everything that happen in that game, and took the fall for his players. Woody Johnson said that Bowels job wasn’t in jeopardy going into the game against San Francisco last week, but after back to back embarrassing home losses, does Johnson’s mind change about the head man of the Jets? The season is unquestionably over, but there are a ton of question marks sounding gang green. The number one question though in my head is how do we fix the offensive line?

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
