Chris Hogan got the nickname 7-11 when he was in training camp with the Dolphins, because they said he was always open. That’s not entirely true though, otherwise he’d still be on the Dolphins. So, I’d like to submit a nickname change to Quick Food Store. Allow me to explain.
I moved into my current house about 13 years ago. One of the biggest draws of this specific house was I lived in walking distance to a 7-11. I was still going out to bars and having people over a lot, so having a 7-11 right there was clutch for late-night snacking. A few years ago the store changed. It was no longer a 7-11 and it was no longer open 24 hours. Now it’s a Quick Food Store, sometimes they close at 10 pm. Sometimes they close at 9 pm and they’ll occasionally close even earlier. But it’s still within walking distance. It’s still convenient and it still gets the job done. It can’t offer everything I need, but it’s reliable in a pinch.
That’s Chris Hogan. He’s not the solution to the Jets receiver woes. He can’t do everything they need, but he’s reliable in a pinch. And make no mistake, the Jets are in a pinch at receiver. Today Hogan made a handful of nice plays, including a one-handed grab across the middle. Hogan will do his job and be exactly where Darnold needs him to be. He won’t always beat his man and get open. You can’t even expect that he’ll be open on every play that you expect him to get open. But if you’re aware of these limitations you can absolutely use him to get you what you need, when you need it.
