Not me
Training camp opens in
- Thread starter Bigmoe
- Start date
I finally watched the second preseason game against the Steelers. Well, I watched the first half at least and Klubnik played pretty well. IMHO, under the circumstances anyway! The first preseason game, he was running with the starters and they scored on both drives.
Against the Steelers, it appeared he was playing with all backups, and he had no help with the running game. Also the offensive line was horrid. Whenever he did get a chance to see the field, he was hitting on his targets, and his decisions were quick and decisive. He didn’t seem like he was lost out there and he didn’t have the happy feet.
Even though he was under duress most of the time he was playing, he hung in there and managed to control the ball and the offense. He didn’t turn it over most importantly and he completed a few tuff ass passes. No I’m not saying he should be starting over Geno!
From what I’m hearing and reading from training camp and that first-only drive in the Steelers game, he has proved he should be the starter but he does have a very reliable back up. Question is can Klubnik be more than just a reliable back up? Aaron Glenn job may depend on this, to be honest. IMHO anyway!
If Geno manages to stay healthy, along with the team and the Jets make the playoffs or are right there on the bubble, then I’m guessing AG’s job is safe. If that’s not the case, then Klubnik better show he’s our future. No matter what the Jets record is or AG will be looking for a new job next year.

not sure what we have in Klubnik yet - the confidence is inspiring, but I'll temper that with saying that I'm sure Jameis Winston was every bit as confident when he became the first in the 30-30 club. Still miles to go before Klubnik can be considered a difference maker.......but I like the start.
AGREED
Back ups not so good. Klubnik maybe looked better without an offensive line in front of him then our last 10 qbs did without a line in front of them
I can’t bear to watch the second half
From the missed extra point on, they looked like the jets
You can’t tell anythiyfrom preseason
But we suck I know that
I for sure they still don’t want to invest in a kicker
That’s confirmed
So this org still has no fuckin clue
I hate seeing that fuckin goat looking coach on the sideline
Letting a veteran kicker leave again.
I didn’t watch the game, they weren’t showing it in my area. I will watch it on the NFL network on replay. I figured Klubnik was gonna struggle. I was hoping that wasn’t gonna be the case but it was. Hopefully he learns and gets better from this. The entire team needs to. From the looks of the score, they got their asses handed to them!

That was ugly. Way to make Cutdown Sunday easy for the coaching staff. Props to Harbaugh for not taking the extra TD at the end.
The Klubnik hype train has temporarily hit the buffers. Sanders' victory in the kicking competition will last as long as it takes another team to waive a competent guy. It was noticeable how the Giants acquired a rushing game after Sweat left the field. Active game for McCrary-Ball, two catches for Woods, Trayanum making a case for a PS berth until his injury. Not much else, Moggie will be watching that waiver wire.

Remembering that most of them are going to be the Jets parking lot attendants by Sunday night.
On the drive leading up to the missed extra points they looked unjetlike. So did the defense with the int on the first drive. But, like you say, no starters
It seems that the Faiders are starting Captain Kirk over Mendoza. So our guy isn't the only rookie who needs time.
Exactly! Arizona is starting whatever vet they have over their rookie also. And of course the Rams are starting Stafford. Teams are going back to the old days. At least this year they are.
