Personally, I’d like 4 easy games to start the season and 4 wins to build confidence
Week One: Jets Vs….Cue drum roll…
- Thread starter cheaterhater
- Start date
And Patriots fans think that his months as an intern 40 years ago have made Goodell some sort of Jets sycophant.
You are absolutely correct here and that's the cause of my apprehension. Like you I hope that Saleh thinks about that and sees to it that they get as much time working together as possible without overdoing it. Those of us who have played know the value of knowing what to expect from the guys next to you and there's only one way that happens.
He ran the mimeograph machine.
Saleh's problem imo is the way He goes about treating his Vets. The guy needs to go by what He sees and not what He is told.
Case in point last year's OL never played together in TC as We all know. These guys had no feel for each other(all of you ex-lineman know what I mean) and were setup for failure imo by relying on the players past performances and not their camp performance.
Saleh and JD blew the 4th round of the draft imo. They had multiple picks and a lot of depth could have been provided in that rd in need positions, especially OL and DL.
You would think these guys would learn from their mistakes.
Hey JD, sign as many Guards and Tackles as you can off the UDFA list. I have a feeling you're going to need them.

I think three of the pieces for the long term are in place, including the two most important. I could see Fashanu at LT and Tippmann at C for the long haul. AVT, if he proves that his injuries are behind him, locks down one of the guards for years. That's pretty decent. I don't know if Simpson will be a part of that formula for the long haul or not. My sense is unless he looks amazing, he's a stopgap. He's still young enough to be a permanent fixture, but I don't know if he is on the caliber of the others.
I'm inclined to agree with your assessment here. Simpson, if he can reduce his penalties, might very well be here for awhile. I'm not sure what contributed to his penalty numbers but in all fairness he might have been asked to do more than his share. I didn't look at any tape. Like you said, he's young, and since he's now in a new system all that might change. Other than penalties he has been pretty reliable and I'm anxious to see, and optimistic about how, he will do here.
Having a QB who scrambles a lot will lead to a lot of holding calls. The slow release and mobility in and outside the pocket can put a lot of strain on the OL. I'm not sure whether his penalties were mostly holdings or other calls.
That's a good point.
Julius Caesar injuries were behind him too. look what that got him.
I would be glad to see the Jets at +5 1/2 vs. the 49ers. Not for betting purposes , but to break my 56 year Super Bowl draught.
(What "Super Bowl"?) So long ago it was called the American Football League-National Football League Championship Game.
"Lombardi"? He still coached for a few more years. A team of announcers? Curt Gowdy, still nobody came close to him.
A home game is always given 3 points by Vegas leaving 2 1/2 points well within winning range .
Early? Ya think?
OTAs, Mandated miscellany of practices. Oh, camp, pre-season.
Who knows? I'll think 5 1/2 + ain't bad.

Fortunately March 15 is during the offseason.
Brown and Moses should still be healthy week 1 vs Bosa. Should give Rodgers a chance to play more than one set of downs....
