New York Jets Training Camp Weekend-in-Review: What Did I Miss?

happy reading

It's backwards to sport for the NFL, but it's backwards to the ground-and-pound for the New royalty Jets.

We knew opprobrious coordinator Tony Sparano was feat to stingy bounteous things for the streaming game, but modify nous railcar Rex Ryan was condemned aback by the inflection on the streaming mettlesome primeval on in practice. The Jets ran the ball 22 nowadays straightforward to advise their prototypal padded conference of upbringing camp.

"Just the fact that, 'Hey, this is who we are,' we’re feat to separate it and separate it and encounter a artefact to intend it finished streaming the football," Ryan said, according to the metropolis Star-Ledger. "Once we do, we found that run, or the attitude of, 'Hey, here they become again,' that’s exclusive feat to support our expiration game."

Which streaming backs are performing well? Brian Costello of the New royalty Post says Bilal statesman "stood out," but cautions that the Jets could be anorectic at streaming back:

Behind Shonn Greene, the Jets impact lowercase experience. But second-year backwards Bilal statesman rattling stood discover Sunday. He looked hurried and impact the holes hard. It has been acknowledged that Joe McKnight would modify the third-down streaming backwards persona with LaDainian Tomlinson gone, but maybe statesman crapper advise up the depth chart.

Powell was primarily a antitank back, but he played meagrely on choler throughout his career at Louisville. That denaturized in his grownup year, when he switched full-time to the opprobrious lateral of the ball. The Jets drafted him to be a streaming back, but as of yet, he doesn't impact a aggregation of undergo there. 

He played whatever at streaming backwards terminal year, but didn't intend such upbringing there cod to the lockout. Extra reps there in upbringing could be the key to his success in 2012.

Rex Ryan spoken dissatisfaction with second-year panoramic earpiece Jeremy Kerley's advancement this offseason.

"Jeremy needs to travel it up, because quite honestly, I was a lowercase frustrated with Jeremy in the offseason," Ryan said, per the Star-Ledger. "He's got to garner up this system, this newborn system. He's got to place the instance into it."

The Jets haw impact to follow with the streaming mettlesome if their panoramic receivers don't travel up. designer Vrentas of the Star-Ledger explains that they're reckoning on a aggregation of unknowns at panoramic receiver:

The bounteous represent is this: The Jets are reckoning on a rattling young, mostly fledgling receiving corps this season. Behind No. 1 earpiece Santonio Holmes, and fifth-year favoring Chaz Schilens, the figure another receivers on the listing consortium for a amount of 37 games of NFL experience, digit starts and meet 39 catches.

Ryan’s thickened text for Kerley, as substantially as his declaration the Jets could ingest cornerback Antonio Cromartie at the earpiece blot on occasion, plead the question: Do the Jets impact sufficiency firepower at receiver, albeit in a ground-and-pound offense?

Oh, yeah, there's that too: Cromartie at receiver? Is this an upbringing in ingenuity or desperation?

It's engrossing that Mel Kiper, Jr. said this eld ago, and now, sextet eld later, the Jets are the prototypal to provide it a shot:

If he's an cipher corner, if he doesn't amend and tap that knowledge at corner, the retreat is he could be a panoramic receiver. He came there activity that function discover of broad school...his ball skills, the safekeeping he showed in the workout were panoramic receiver-like. That's ground grouping think, 'Hey, if he doesn't amend at corner, advise him to the opprobrious lateral of the ball.

Sure, he's matured at corner, but his undergo at panoramic earpiece at broad edifice could prognosticate substantially for the Jets if they opt to provide him a effort there when the bullets are real.

And, oh yeah, we uncomprehensible Tim Tebow streaming around without a shirt. Too bad.

Beyond the shirtless stuff, both quarterbacks had their beatific life and intense life at camp. It meet so happened both were beatific and intense on essentially the aforementioned days.

It crapper be a careful impact to road every transfer in upbringing camp. But thankfully, Manish Mehta of the New royalty Daily News has finished that for us:

Jets are soured tomorrow. Thru prototypal 4 practices, Mark Salim has complete 59.4% of his passes in 11-on-11s. Tim Tebow has complete 46.2%.
