The New York Jets’ preseason opener provided a sea of optimism across all levels of the depth chart, especially the starters. The starting offense and defense looked excellent against the Green Bay Packers’ first-team units.
That story did not carry over to the Jets’ second preseason game. Against a Giants team that was missing Malik Nabers and Dexter Lawrence, the Jets’ first-team offense and defense were both outplayed.
Jets fans are not too concerned about the defense, considering it was missing the entire starting defensive line and Sauce Gardner. However, the entire starting offense was active, but the Jets’ passing game was stomped by a Lawrence-less Giants defense.
New York’s starting offense moved the ball well on the ground, but fans are up in arms about the performance of starting quarterback Justin Fields, who managed four passing yards on five pass attempts. After an iffy training camp, fans are growing skeptical of the fifth-year quarterback.
Is that skepticism warranted? And what else stood out from the Jets’ second preseason game? Which players seized their roster battles, and which players lost control of them?
In the latest episode of Blewett’s Blitz, we analyze everything that stood out from the Jets’ second preseason game. The top standouts, the players whose stock dropped, critical notes on the progress of key starters – it’s all there on the All-22 film.
With less than three weeks until the season opener, let’s dive into the film to see where the Jets stand after Week 2 of the preseason.
