The tweet above was written by Thomas Boswell
LaDainian Tomlinson Jerseys Stitched , a longtime sports columnist at the Washington Post about the Washington Redskins. I think you hear stuff like this
from a lot of teams that miss the Playoffs. They want to keep their fanbases
engaged so they try to make it sound like they aren’t far away.This tweet
resonated with me because of what the Jets have done in the last week. They
fired their coach while keeping their general manager while saying things like
this.Using the Boswell test, the Jets do fare better. Jamal Adams got 26 votes
in total. So the Jets do have at least one genuine star. The bad news is Adams
stands alone. Forget about being named First Team All Pro or Second Team All
Pro. No offensive player on the Jets received a single vote. And no defensive
player other than Adams received a single vote.The Jets at least did fare better
on special teams with Andre Roberts leading the votes as a kicker returner. He
also finished third in voting for punt returner. Jason Myers tied for third in
votes among kickers
Youth Joe Klecko Jerseys , and Kevin Pierre-Louis got a vote for his work on special teams.Hopefully the Jets are more realistic about their talent level than they
are letting on. Getting this roster competitive again is going to be a major
undertaking. Le'Veon Bell is not expected to play in the Jets’ preseason opener
on Thursday night, which will leave the process of building chemistry with his
offensive linemen to the practice field for the time being.When Bell
signed
Joe Klecko Jerseys Stitched , there was discussion about how his patient running style would impact his blockers and a full read on that will have to wait until
they’re in a game together. For now, though
Youth Curtis Martin Jerseys , Bell thinks everyone is “getting in that rhythm” and figuring out what’s going to work best for all involved.“We’re going to find our
base run plays that we run well,” Bell said
Curtis Martin Jerseys Stitched , via Manish Mehta of the . “It’s just going to take time to find what runs we want or what’s comfortable for us. Once we find those base
runs and we’re comfortable with them, the run game is going to just gel. We
don’t need to have 50 run plays. We could have eight of them and run those eight
really well.”The Jets recently signed center Ryan Kalil
White C.J. Mosley Jerseys , so the process is going to be an ongoing one for the Jets as they work to get everyone pointed in the same direction before the regular
season gets underway.
