Bilal Powell is also back

Jets finally get their man! A new GM caps off a roller coaster of an off season and you would have to say they are in a better position at the end of it. At least we have hope!!!

Good signing from the sounds of it, the good thing to see imo is a very long contract, means he's been given reassurance that his success isn't tied to Gase I would imagine.

Thanks. Amusing they start with "it's a critical year for GM Mike Maccagnan." Perhaps a bit out of date :P

Not much newsworthy in Jets land at the moment, but Saturday, possibly the best player overall in J E T S history is inducted into the HOF. #68, Kevin Mawae. Congratulations, best center the team's ever had and perhaps one of the top 2 or 3 ever.

Not too much noteworthy from last night, starters looked good, depth didn't.... Corners and kickers were poor. Good to have football back though!

Avery Williams out for the season with an ACL injury

Yeah killer, although ILB is the one position where we look ok for depth. Hoping Cashman and another step into the void with a bit of luck.

Carli Lloyd (the first woman to earn a college football scholarship to an NCAA school at the Division II level or higher) has reportedly gotten an offer from a NFL team (possibly 2 teams) to kick in a preseason game Thursday. But Lloyd can’t make it work because the national team plays Portugal that night. She was at the Philadelphia Eagles’ practice last week. Things got serious when she sent a kick sailing 55 yards through the uprights. Lloyd, 37, was on the US Women’s World Cup championship teams in 2015. She was also a two-time FIFA women’s world player of the year. I wonder if the Jets were the team to make the offer?

From what I've seen she takes a fair run up to her kicks - would be interested to see her in a game situ.

It's just easy headlines, if she was actually getting calls (I doubt it), then so would a thousand male players be giving it a go.

Fair point and was addressed in this article from SI.

Taylor Bertolet kicks 2 field goals and misses 3 in the Jets' 6-0 win over Eagles.

Last year's kicker Jason Myers was 8-for-9 in the preseason, with three field goals from 50+ yards. The $5.5 million he's making this year from Seattle doesn't look so hefty, now does it?

With all the promise this season, they're still the Jets.

So what you're saying is don't watch the last preaseaon game... Girl this carli one a call so.

Big surprise cutting Polite. Production not there but a lit of beat writers saying that they never used him as a pure pass rusher which is his main strength. The 53 man they released yesterday definitely should change with waiver claims today. The Jets could possibly sign 2 CBs 1 WR 1 kicker 1 OLB and even 1 RB.

Yeah any time I noticed him in the pre season they seemed to be using him as an all around OLB, not really sure why as coming he seemed to be solely suited to a pass rushing roll. Maybe the FO felt they couldn't take a one trick pony onto the 53 given how poor the squad depth is.

The depth at CB, S, Linebacker and O-line has me fairly worried

Fined 100k in his few months with us, unclaimed on waivers and eventually stashed on the Seahawks practice squad.... sounds like he has an awful attitude and wasn't wanted aroudn the place, we didn't even try and stash him on our PS.

Seems like it was the right thing to do. Not knocked out by waiver signings but they will provide depth. I still think we need a CB or two in the next few days.

Yeah I was surprised Dortch didn't hold on to a spot, hoping him and a couple of others sneak back to the PS.

Bertolet’s gone. Kaare Vedvik, originally from Norway, is the Jets new kicker. And I understand he can punt, also. He didn’t have a great preseaon, either, but looked good before the start of the 2018 season... which ended before it even started because of an assault that left him with head and facial injuries, and some teeth were knocked out. Well, he's now out of dangers of violent Baltimore for the safety of New York City. :pac:

Poor first half from Jets offence. Sam very shaky behind porous offensive line. He is looking for Bell on every play. 4 turnovers by defence is excellent.

Defence has been good, but I cant help feel that if they were playing against a competent QB, they'd be a couple of scores down by now

Igotadose · 08-09-2019 8:28pm

Seem to be settling in in the 3rd quarter. Only complaint was the roughing penalty that enabled the Bills the FG, very avoidable.

Whether the Jets have a kicking game at all remains to be seen. I have a feeling it's audition time next week. Why is it so difficult to find a kicker...

phatkev · 08-09-2019 8:38pm

Jaysus, Mosley goes off and the defence turns to sh1t

phatkev · 08-09-2019 8:48pm

ugh, they're going to end up losing this game

Igotadose · 08-09-2019 8:54pm

What happened to Mosley?

who'd off knew you'd need CB's to have a half decent defence! Johnson/Roberts are without a doubt the worst set of corners in the league

phatkev · 08-09-2019 9:13pm

"That was as bad a loss as you'll see", Ive definitely heard that somewhere before!
