There’s an old saying that one shouldn’t say anything at all when they have nothing nice to say.That may have been what Jets CEO Christopher
Johnson had in mind after Sunday’s 41-10 loss to the Bills. Johnson
Authentic Doug Middleton Jersey , who is running the team while his brother Woody serves as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom, declined comment on
head coach Todd Bowles’ status when approached by reporters after the
game.Bowles’ record with the Jets fell to 23-35 over three-plus seasons with
Sunday’s loss to a Bills team starting Matt Barkley at quarterback. The loss was
the fourth in a row for the Jets and chatter about Bowles getting fired has
become easy to find in recent weeks.Sunday’s listless outing won’t do anything
to change that. Bowles said after the game that he’s not worrying about his job
and that he thought the effort level from the team was fine. That will be argued
by others, including the fans who serenaded the Jets with boos throughout the
loss.Two incompletions that displayed positive traits from Sam Darnold I don’t
think there is a position in sports where stats are more deceptive than at
quarterback. If you missed last night’s game, you probably were not impressed by
Sam Darnold’s line in the box score. If you watched the game
Youth Brandon Copeland Jersey , you probably were very excited by what you saw.Football is a team game. The quarterback is very important, but he can
only do so much. We will be breaking down Darnold’s night plenty in the days to
come, but I wanted to show a couple of incompletions that negatively impacted
the stat line where Darnold still showed something positive.3rd and 7-NYJ 33
(5:02) 2nd quarter (Shotgun) 14-S.Darnold pass incomplete deep right to
88-C.Johnson.This was an incompletion on the stat sheet, and the television
announcers suggested it was a poor throw by Darnold
http://www.jetsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-jason-myers-jersey , but I actually came away with a different conclusion rewatching it. I think this
play showed good things.The Falcons show blitz with six defenders on this third
down play. The Jets have their five offensive linemen and leave George Atkinson
in to block so they have a blocker for each blitzer.This look pretty much gives
away the fact that the Falcons are playing man to man with a deep safety in the
middle of the field.Even though the Jets have enough blockers to pick up this
blitz, not everybody executes their block successful. Jonotthan Harrison loses
his battle, which leaves a defender to get into Darnold’s face.At this point,
Darnold is about to be hit and has no open receivers.At this point
Brandon Shell Jersey , the only real option he has is to try and throw back shoulder to one of his receivers, and that is the option he takes.I’ll put this
in slow motion for you so you can see it all play out. It certainly appears to
me that Charles Johnson does a poor job adjusting to this throw. He’s doesn’t
track the ball well, and he isn’t in a position to jump and high point it.It’s
tough to say with 100% certainty how likely it would have been for Johnson to
catch that ball had he tracked it better, but at the very least Darnold’s
thought process was good. He was in a position where the defense got
pressure
Authentic Eric Tomlinson Jersey , and all of his receivers were covered. He made the one decision that conceivably could have resulted in a successful
play.2nd and 5-ATL 47 (10:56) 4th quarter 14-S.Darnold pass incomplete short
left to 18-A.Stewart (29-L.McFadden).This was a play action snap where Dakota
Dozier playing left tackle gets beaten. The defender is about to get into
Darnold’s face.Darnold simply slides in the pocket to give himself more
time.It’s a subtle movement, but it’s important. Because Dozier is beaten, he
only has leverage to push the pass rusher into Darnold’s original spot. When
Darnold moves, Dozier is pushing the pass rusher away from the quarterback. God
helps quarterbacks who help themselves.Darnold then delivers a perfect throw
that hits ArDarius Stewart in the hands. You can see from this picture that
Stewart wasn’t exactly wide open. Darnold threaded the needle and created a
potential completion on a play without good protection or an open
receiver.Stewart just didn’t display the strong hands necessary to win the
ball.Mind you
Youth Robby Anderson Jersey , I am not putting Darnold in Canton just yet because he did these things in his first preseason game. But I do believe what
separates the good quarterbacks from the bad quarterbacks in the NFL is the
ability to create opportunities that wouldn’t otherwise be there. Almost any
quarterback can look good if he’s given stellar protection and open receivers.
The good quarterbacks create opportunities for plays on their own.Neither play
was truly spectacular, but on both Darnold created an opportunity for something
good even though the defense and his teammates did not give him much to work
with. With Quincy Enunwa out there rather than Johnson and Stewart, we might
have added two big completions to Darnold’s stat line.
