TODAY SportsGood morning, Jet fans! I hope everyone’s having a great start to
their day. All things quiet as usual in Jet-land, although defensive lineman
Charles Tapper was in a car crash over the weekend. Tapper was signed to a
futures / reserve contract, so it’ll be interesting to see how that plays out
for him. Bad timing though, as the switch to a 4-3 and a plethora of mediocre
line players could make it a pretty open playing field if someone manages to
show something once training camp begins. Hopefully all works out for Charles.
Mel Kiper Jr. release another mock draft, and to be frank it seemed like he
didn’t even try. To be fair though, it seems like that’s how most have been
acting, and it’s hard to blame them given the time of year. Outside of some
surprising but relatively quiet cuts made by teams, there isn’t much news going
on in the league at all. Joe Flacco being sent to Denver is newsworthy, but I
don’t think that move ‘wows’ anyone, anywhere. With free agency looming on the
horizon however, things should get interesting soon. With that, here are your

becoming a star in AAFHere are your missed connections from yesterday.Here’s the
thread about nothing, featuring a Guthrie special sung by ‘The Boss’.I hope you
all have a safe and wonderful rest of the day! Usually, we like to exchange
Q&As with the SB Nation blog of the opposing team the Jets will be facing in
the coming week.However, we’re switching things up this week. Chris Blystone,
representing Stampede Blue, has given us three reasons he thinks the Colts could
lose on Sunday. In turn, I have given them three reasons I think the Jets could
lose.Here are Chris’ responses. You can check out mine pertaining to the Jets
here.Why will the Colts lose on Sunday?InjuriesThe Colts team has been ravaged
by injuries this season. The sideline on Thursday night against the Patriots
looked less like that of a football team and more like a makeshift emergency
room. They’ll likely be without their top two receiving weapons again this week
as top receiver T.Y. Hilton and tight end Jack Doyle are likely to be out.Eric
Ebron has filled in effectively in Doyle’s absence and has been a productive red
zone target. Except he also missed practice on Wednesday with a
“shin/quad/ankle/knee” injury. I can only assume from this report that he was
involved in a severe shark attack. When you add in that starting center Ryan
Kelly didn’t practice with a calf injury and that the Colts just placed their
starting right guard on IR with two broken vertebrae, this offense looks like
one that could struggle.That is totally ignoring the defensive injuries, which
are even more significant. The Colts signed veteran safety Mike Mitchell this
week because literally their whole safety room was hurt. Malik Hooker didn’t
practice and Clayton Geathers and Matthias Farley both seem unlikely to be
available on Sunday. If Hooker can’t play, your guess is as good as mine as to
who starts opposite Mitchell
White Sam Darnold Jerseys , although it is likely George Odum, whose name you don’t know for a reason.Thankfully, the Colts cornerbacks seem to be getting
healthier, so that works in their favor, but the linebacker room is still thin
as rookie standout Darius Leonard missed practice again with an ankle injury,
and Anthony Walker was limited in his practice.All in all, the Jets are facing a
Colts team that is operating at about half strength due to the parts they are
missing. It is always tough to win on the road, but when you’re this banged up
it is nearly impossible.No running gameThe Colts simply haven’t been able to put
together any kind of consistent running game thus far in the season. Whether due
to injury or circumstances, something has prevented them from ever really
getting the running game going and that has made this team pretty one
dimensional.Right now Andrew Luck leads the league in pass attempts. Getting
starting left tackle Anthony Castonzo and starting running back Marlon Mack back
this week will certainly help, but they have to make a concerted effort to move
the ball on the ground. That should be easy against the Jets defensive line
right? No? Great.In a game where so many of their receiving weapons are hurt,
the Colts absolutely need to make the running game a factor and get those guys
involved, because right now the running backs might be the healthiest position
group on the roster. The problem is, they haven’t been able to do it all
season
Sam Darnold Jerseys 2019 , so there is not a lot of hope they will start Sunday.Inability to win in close gamesThe Colts have been in every game they’ve
played this season. In fact, they’ve led the game in the second half of each of
their games except against the Patriots. However, they have just 1 win to show
for it. Mistakes, injuries, mental errors, and lack of talent are all to blame
for the Colts simply being unable to grit out wins in close games.Given the
Colts’ offensive injuries, that is problematic. In a best-case-scenario
situation, the Colts will manage to keep this game close. Andrew Luck is still a
phenomenal player and his receivers are bound to catch at least some of the
passes thrown their way. However, if the game is close, the Colts simply haven’t
proven they can get the win. With so many key players either missing or likely
playing at less than 100%, there is not any reason to expect them to suddenly
buck the trend of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
