Football Outsiders - A Deep Dive On The Jets Air Raid System And Why It's So Deadly

So, looking ahead at the Jets, I thought it would be good to give all of you a better idea as to what this team actually is. 

First of all, they won't be easy. You can argue past games and results, but the fact is the Jets can and will be tricky. They may not have the all-star pieces, but they have a mastermind at the helm engineering a very interesting offense. It's one derived from the college Air Raid system, and it's working.

Jets offensive coordinator John Morton - former Saints WR coach and clear Sean Peyton disciple - helped create a pile of junk in a rebuild year into something that is pretty competitive. His concepts and ideas are pretty interesting and could in fact rival Kyle Shanahan's genius in a few ways. 

But that's enough fluff for now. I'll get right to the point.

This article from Football Outsiders really does give a good perspective on just how tough the Jets offense is. Sure, they lack the play-makers, but they have the right blueprint. The Panthers defense sure is lucky to get an extra two weeks to try to solve this puzzle, but by no means will this be a breeze.

I would say we have 0 excuse losing to a rebuild team , but we did lose a fluky game against the Bears.  The Jets definitely aren't the dumpster fire that the Dolphins are , but I think we should win if the players take the game seriously and we limit the turnovers. The only games we lost this year is when we had way too many turnovers.  I think we've won every game that Cam didnt throw a pick in.

Considering the Jets’ passing offense is 26th in the league, it looks like a lot of teams were able to “solve this puzzle”. The Jets’ offense has certainly exceeded expectations but only because the expectations for this offense were terrible. Judging them on their own merits, they’re statistically not a good offense.

I don’t understand this line...what is there to argue besides past games and results? Imagine someone responding to your other thread about Cam’s statistics, saying “hey you can argue past games and results, but Cam is still a terrible QB”. If your argument is not driven by past games and results, then you’re basically ignoring statistics and therefore providing an entirely subjective argument.

I mean the system itself is probably better than Shanahan. Read the article itself.

If it weren’t for that, this team would be lucky to scratch a win. The team as a whole sucks because of the player’s lack of talent, but they got a tricky scheme we shouldn’t sleep on.

It amazing how our fan downplays the teams we play. 

The Jets are than.most in here are giving them credit for, and wins don't come easy in this league. 

 

 

It's not about downplaying the Jets. It about looking at reality and the fact that the Jets passing game is far from deadly. It's not even average

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.

      Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
