Honest Review 2.12: Building Culture

This is a step in the right direction. What a way to stick in the game and pull out a hard-earned victory. The Jets FINALLY finished a game grinding out the most impressive win of the season.

There is a culture building here and this is a great win for the direction this football team is going. The offense did whatever they felt like doing because Josh McCown and the Jets offense dictated the pace of the game against the Chiefs defense. The way the team battled back into the game and didn’t quit after a slow start out the gate. Controlling the clock for 42 minutes compared to the 17 minutes that Kansas City had and going 13/20 on 3rd down is the reason why the Jets won this ball game. The big play offense of the Chiefs didn’t rattle the veteran McCown as he charged on with long drives that ate up big chunks of the clock. This is a formula that the Jets could lean on moving forward.

Everyone on the field is looking like they are growing and there is a clear culture building in the locker room thanks to Todd Bowles. The defense even with giving up chunk plays sacked twice and pressured Alex Smith a ton. There were a bunch of big plays from Marcus Maye and Jamal Adams late in the game.

There was no weakness on the field for gang green today—every aspect of the game the Jets won today and it was a real impressive win. To stick with two potential playoff teams in back to back weeks shows to the character of this young Jets defense. The future is looking bright for this group of guys and this win is a key building block of success for gang green.


The playoffs might be a stretch, the Jets will have to have a lot of help throughout the league, BUT if the Jets win out they have a chance. They will have to win out and that will be tough and isn’t necessarily the worst thing in the world. Jets fans please remember this win because this is the start of something I truly believe that. It’s on to Denver and the message is always the same 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
