Are they though?  Are they?    And can they really think that they are anymore? 

We'll find out when they blow their 2nd rounder on a backup project DT and their third on a Kicker.

The way Joe Douglas drafted last  year, depending on coach, if they drop bag out of 2 and get a haul for Justin Field's they could be a legit contender for years to come

Ive said for a while people laugh at the Jets but they have a ton of cap space next year, 2 firsts, 2nd, 2 3rds and a comp 3rd coming for Robby Anderson. The Adams trade and cap space is going to help them immensely in their rebuild as long as douglas doesn’t screw it up.

Davion Taylor should take as many snaps as he can. He needs the reps. 

I'm still waiting for the Cox/Barnett/Goedert IR designations.

It's really nice to see his injury wasn't more serious. They were pretty vague about the details and considering athleticism is Taylor's only strength right now a major knee injury would've been devastating for him.

Haven’t they consistently had a good amount of cap space and tons of picks for years now though? They’ve drafted a top 11 player in 6 of their last 8 drafts and 2021 will be another one. I am one of those people you mentioned who laugh at the jets.

I guess. In any other year this wouldn't happen though, it's only happening because of COVID and an unlimited amount of guys are able to return from IR. Feels like they are playing the "we are smarter than everyone else" card again.

I'm only guessing so you could be right

Would be a huge get for the Bills.  Chiefs are gonna get all they can handle from the Bills in the playoffs.

Weird. I thought only Wentz saw ghost and left the pocket early. 

Why make rookie mistakes year 5?

First and foremost we need guy who can stay healthy. Like you said there really aren't many shutdown corners anymore but we can certainly do much better. It's not like the Cowboys put up 400+ passing yards and 37 points every week. I said the other day that the entire secondary needs to be rebuilt. As much as I like Slay there's a good chance he's not here after 2022 and we probably need to think about that now rather than wait til he's gone and sign another Byron Maxwell or Nnamdi Asomugha.

Another thing is coaching.  I understand Schwartz wants to get pressure with his front 4 and that's fine.  But I hate the way he plays his secondary.  A different coach and scheme could change how the secondary plays their coverages.

I think we can all keep laughing until they actually start winning.

This year I think the playoffs are going to be exciting.  Several upsets.  Its wide open as far as who will win the SB.  I know the Chiefs are favorites but they've had some close games with not so great teams lately.

Same story as the Browns... Sure, they have a year or two where they do alright.   But, basically since they came back to the league in 1999, the Browns have been terrible.   Lions have pretty much the same laughing stock since then.  Jets as well.

So leaving the pocket early is a rookie mistake? I think I've seen plenty of old pros with **** lines do it.

Interesting tidbit from the Tales from the Blindside pod. All 3 of Thomas, Herremans and Jackson said the Smith hit on Mailata wasn't dirty, at all. Heremans went on to say its a shock technique they teach LB'ers to stun the T so the T doesn't get his hands on the LB. They all said it just looked to be cheap because Mailata stutter stepped and didn't see him. He should have identified Smith, kept moving his feet and plow through him.

I don't know if they all think this way because they are from a past era, just thought their take was interesting on it as past players.

They actually haven’t had great cap space like they are going to this upcoming offseason. I believe they have the most or second most. Additionally the Jets haven’t had the plethora of picks they’ve got in this draft. In 2018 and 19 they didn’t have a second rounder. They’ve had top picks but not a gross capital of picks. Going to have 6 picks in the top 3 rounds of the draft. And the following year 5. Add on they are also likely to get a better coach in there. I’d also add their draft class last year had a bunch of contributors: becton, davis and mims before he had a off the field issue was improving week to week.

I have a shock technique that includes a baseball bat from w.w.e. . Stun the Fing tackle is exactly why it shouldn't be used. WTF is wrong with them?

Wentz haters can't make up their mind if he holds the ball too long or leaves the pocket too early.

They said really the only thing they consider cheap is something in the back. When they block, they use their head too, so they can't say its cheap for the LB to do the same thing they do, its just football. Also they all learned that same lesson. When you pull, you go full speed. Mailata was going half speed and was unsure where to go which caused the problem of not expecting to get hit and getting his bell rung.

Dude it's one thing to use your head when blocking and leading into them. He jumped up in the air and head butted him. Literally the only thing that touched him was his head. This isn't the 1960s anymore.

First thing I thought of when I seen it was WWF or something.  Looked like a pro wrestling move.

He lowers the crown of his helmet and jumps into him.  By the letter of the law it is against the rules.

I'm not saying I agree, just relaying what they said.

I was pretty surprised actually how all 3 had the same opinion on it, and how firm they were on it.

He definitely doesnt leave the pocket early.  His pocket presence is awful and he's usually standing back there while everything collapses around him.  That's his problem is he doesnt leave the pocket when it starts collapsing.

Yeah, I get that my argument is with them. Did they even watch the footage

Old school.   Not much different from the old days when Deacon Jones would do the head slap.
