Honest Review #2.3

Honest Review #2.3: WE AREN’T WINLESS
A win is a win in the NFL. No matter how ugly or pretty they are as long as there is a “1” in the win column that’s all that matters. For fans of the NFL it’s always a good day when your team wins.

I said last week that the Jets showed some hustle throughout the game and fight later in the contest, but they had to clean up some things. I also said that EVERYTHING had to go right for the Jets, and I was right about that. Yes, the Jets played well. From special teams, to offense, to defense they all contributed to this win. Josh McCown went 18/23 for 249 yards and a score. Bilal Powell ran the ball for only 34 yards on 15 carries but jumped into the endzone for the Jets second score. On defense the Jets had 3 total sacks and Terrence Brooks picked off Jay Cutler twice during today’s ballgame. Jamal Adams absolutely played out of his mind with a sack, 2 total tackles, and a few big hits and pass break ups.

It was an all-around great game for the Jets, but it wasn’t without some gifts. The officials did throw a ton of flags in the ballgame today, and definitely favored the Jets with the penalty calls. I’m not going to complain too much because the Jets did win, and they won’t go winless in 2017.


This win also didn’t come without some areas of concern. The penalties are something that have to be addressed on the offense line, the running game needs to be better, there needs to be defined roles in the running game, and the defensive line needs to create more pressure. If we do that, the Jets might win a few more games in 2017, but again a win is a win, and with the number overall selection likely being our ultimate destination (whether the team likes it or not) the Jets won today, and 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
