The Jets Still Haven’t Scored a Touchdown This Preseason, and Oh, Wayne Hunter Sucks
It’s only the preseason. It’s only the preseason.
* In three quarters, the Jets’ first team offense has no touchdowns. Their No. 1 receiver, Santonio Holmes, hasn’t played a minute, which is the only acceptable explanation. Or maybe new OC Tony Sparano is saving everything for the regular season. Maybe? It’s only the preseason.
* Wayne Hunter, the right tackle who we’ve been shredding since the 2011 preview, was embarrassed by the Giants in the first half. Humiliated. It’s to the point he can’t capably block anyone remotely good, and the Jets will need to keep a tight end on his side to help block if they want Mark Sanchez to survive. It’s only the preseason.
* Punter TJ Conley, who had a kick blocked last week against Cincinnati, shanked one so badly in the 4th quarter it only went 19 yards. The next time out, he shanked another one. It went 23 yards. Special teams, through two games, have been poor for the Jets (Maybin did partially block a punt against the Giants, though). It’s only the preseason.
* The only positives I’ve seen from the team through eight quarters? The Wilkerson/Coples combo could do some things on the defensive line. I really like what I’ve seen from Kenrick Ellis at DT, too.
* Yes, it is only the preseason. These two games/results mean zilch. Put no stock in it. But I’ve studied this roster and feel like I have a pretty good sense of what the Jets have. (The only wild card is Sparano’s play-calling, which, given his history at Miami, is anything but wild.) I’m dangerously close to revising my season prediction from 7-9 to 6-10.

Solution: Move Tebow to right tackle.

I’ll be so bummed when The Sanchize gets benched around Week 4. I’ll miss seeing godawful throws like that.
August 19th, 2012 at 12:34 PM
Best thing for the Jets honestly is to go 6-10 or 5-11, dump Sanchez and the GM, move Tebow, pick up a non-malcontent WR, get another RB, etc.
Doesn’t sound so bad, does it?

Been meaning to ask Lions fans about this: how do you guys view the 0-16 season? Do you take some weird pride in that? Or is just some kind of embarrassment that you’ll never live down as fans and want to personally cock punch Matt Millen?

pick up a non-malcontent WR
You say that like there a lot of them

I a perverted kind of way, yes. If you’re going to suck, may as well REALLY suck instead of putting up some bullshit 2-14 record. It has made watching the progress of the team over the last few years really enjoyable. More so than if they were 7-9 for three straight seasons before going 10-6.
And yes, everyone would like to personally cock punch Matt Millen. He’s such an asshole.

I have absolutely no idea what you’re referring to.
And what’s a “Matt Millen”?

Good thing they got rid of B. Schottenheimer. Look at the terrible work he is doing with Bradford and that Ram offense.

Randy Moss: 2 games, 3 catches, 24 yards, 0 TDs
After two weeks of 49ers preseason play, I think we can start laying odds on how soon Moss becomes a mega-malcontent WR again.
I’d say two more weeks.
August 19th, 2012 at 1:12 PM
maybe they don’t.
Dear God, no. Total embarrassment.
August 19th, 2012 at 1:13 PM
Shit. even if it is just preseason, I hate to see Bradford have any success.

I give JMac credit for focusing on the entire team unlike the retard in Bristol who goes on TV at 10 AM weekdays and only cares about that one backup quarterback while ignoring everything else

Is Sanchez still a top 8 QB or whatever it was mcdiddle once said?

Nope. You can blame that on Sanchez’s absentee father.

It’s a good thing it’s my break time so my cohorts here don’t see me crying from that insult that was definitely above a 6 year old’s level. And if this is a dong blog, then why do you keep coming back?
