Defensive struggles

Of course I’m nervous about this OL keeping Bryce upright.

But this defense.  
when do we start sounding the alarms.

 

This secondary I thought coming in was a potential issue.

The Jets joint practice.  Rodgers shredded our secondary including picking on Horn at times (minus the 2 minute drill which their #1 WR didn’t participate in).

We were then told.  “Well it’s Rodgers, he’s a future HOF coach”

 

The Jets preseason game.  The 2nd string Jets offense with Zach Wilson drove right down the field and scored pretty easily.  After that game we were told “We were just being vanilla not game planning”

 

Pre season game 2.

Daniel Jones started 8-9, with his only incomplete pass coming off a play where the WR was wide azz open.  But the WR lost control of the ball off a big Hit from Bell closing in.  Then we heard last night “we’ll they didn’t have Burns or Brown”.  (Though ignoring the fact that QB was knifing us to open guys within 2-3 seconds.  Which neutralizes any form of pass rush).

Having no pass rushers in either game and no Brown yesterday will neuter a defense. 

How much will those pass rushers really matter if the QB is getting the ball out to open guys within 2-3 seconds like yesterday?

I don’t expect Jackson to make it a full season. I think he’s done after his injury from last year. I think the secondary is in trouble going into the season the CB position for us is just so fragile and the depth is brutal

Besides Waller, what giants receiver or RB who played against our starters is considered an above average player?  

Waller is a stud (when he's on the field). He was the one making the plays (along with Jones). Let's not forget that an O-line (and one that doesn't really have to face above average rushers) plays a vital roll in the success of the offense as well.

Yeah I understand that.  But it wasn’t like Jones sat back there for 8 seconds while guys played backyard ball to get open.  He unloaded after 2-3 seconds and hit his guy open every time.  It’s worrisome that our back 7 can’t cover a guy for more than 3 seconds.  Even the best pass rush can’t do much to help there

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
