Lost the edge a few times but yes, I agree. Those things will happen to young players. I think he and Espenesa are developing nicely.

Because this place likes to B word about someone I’m glad you brought the “torched by TEs” thing because through 3 games the best stat line a TE has posted against us is 4 catches for 40 yards. Mr. Edmunds has played a part in that. And we’ve played some good freaking TEs so far

Very good point, I the way the Defense is structured, he’s critical in whether or not they run efficiently. He’s like the Alex Smith of LBs, drafted really high but (as of right now) is more of a field general and game manager of the defense. If he walks he’ll still play 10+ plus years in the league and have several elite seasons.

I feel like he’s also been very solid in pass coverage this year also. We all want Takeo Spikes, but Edmunds still has boatloads of potential (He’s what, 23?) and wouldn’t last 48 hours on the open market.

He also missed another sack, he legitimately could have 4 right now. Not outright bashing him because he is having some seriously good moments out there, even today.

Hats off to Star, who I thought looked really good

He writes his grandmother’s name on the eye black

I feel like Lorenzo Alexander paved the way for AJ Epenesa’s career path.

Jerry Hughes for Kelvan Sheppard wins that

The OP is clearly referring to the ineffectiveness of the passing offense. Will it correct itself? Probably, but it’s a fair talking point after a summer full of hype and praise.

How TF is Jerry 14th?

I couldn’t even read the article because of all the freaking ads.

Was Darnold not expected to look really good? I always thought is failures were 100% the Jets

Hopefully Levi isn’t too banged up, he played great yesterday.

Because kids emulate what they see on the field, and parents don’t want an 8 year old ‘showing up’ another 8 year old after a big hit. That’s the best explanation I’ve heard, celebrate on the sideline.

I think the biggest issue with Epenesa is missed tackles. The guy legitimately should have had 3 sacks yesterday, yet here is he on Monday with goose eggs in every category. Pressure and QB hits is great if your combining them with TFL and Sacks, otherwise they just look like participation trophies. How many times have we seen a DE apply great pressure or even contact the QB to just see him not finish the play and the QB throw a completion? Epenesa had a good game, but should have had a great game. All the same, the future looks very bright with him and Groot.

I think Obada is still a good player too, very solid ‘4th DE’ although he’s on a one year deal.

Epensea is frustrating as hell, make the damn tackle. That’s some Jerry Hughes BS. That said, I’m pumped about the two of them, I though Groot looked REALLY GOOD. Seems like they are splitting snaps with each other, as are Hughes and Addison.

They will be good confidence boosters, although I have tons of respect for Tyrod and what he can do. WFT’s backup QB seems to be a high-level backup QB

I also saw it too, I think his passing game issues are temporary and Dorsey is the next OC for the team.

Or they can figure out what the issue is and help him work through it?

Allen has averaged about 5-6 yards per attempt so far this season, the game-plan has clearly been short-throws (and run game) focused and unfortunately he’s missed several attempts when he goes mid-deep passes. Allen is a rhythm thrower and dunk and dunk game-plan hasn’t let him get into his gun-slinger groove because it’s not his game.

I still think this is more game planning around short passes and a focus on the running game, something that was key in why we lost the AFC title game. Allen is only around 5-6 yards per pass attempt so far, the struggles are weird but to this point I’m not real worried. We don’t want to be clicking on all cylinders in September.

Perhaps we are in an adjustment period?
