We will see a lot of Jets Second teamers on Saturday Night

[panthers55]

The team’s number twos are getting punishment for not playing well in the Monday night game for the Jets: more playing time.

After playing his starters for the entire first half, Rex Ryan admitted that the first-teamers will play for only one quarter in the second preseason game in Carolina Saturday. The coach wasn’t thrilled with his second-team defense, which gave up 21 points, 256 yards and 10 first downs in the second half. The Giants’ yards per play jumped from 3.7 in the first half to 10.2 after intermission.

While I'm excited to see our team take the field Saturday night, I have to say I am pretty much sick of Jets this and Jets that. I've never been a fan of either NY/NJ team, but man, the Jets crap is a bit thick this year.

Favre, Jets, Haynesworth, edgy Jets, Favre, Jets, Jets, Rex Ryan, Jerry Jones, Jets, Favre. There, I've summed up ESPN and the NFL Networks programming this week. Blah, Blah, Blah.

I was wondering about that, both Giants and the Jets played well into the second quarter, almost up to half time on monday. Yet, our starters barely got a drive in... WTF?

One quarter is a generally accepted norm for the first preseason game for starters. The jets /giants game was outside of the norm.

I agree, he played his starters too long in game 1.

How long are we going to play our starters this saturday? are we gonna do the whole one quarter thing again? while i love to see clausen and our other qbs i really wanna see more out of mattymo and i would like to see how hes connecting with our younger WRs outside of training camp and in real game action.

[The Saltman]

they will play the starters for the half. I doubt they will change that up because of rex ryan.

[Scrumtrilescent]

Ya huh.

[The Saltman]

nah uh.

To help out the clueless, this is the general norm for all preseason games and starters playing time.

Game 1: 1 drive if it leads to a TD or one Full quarter.

Game 2: The entire first half

Game 3: Anywhere from halfway through the 3rd quarter to a full 3 quarters

Game 4: Will not play, unless something really needs fixing.

His dad was famous for that, but his ring came as an assistant. As a head coach, he was a flash in the pan early, generally a disaster later.

Coaches like Ryan have a tendency to go that route. When all you ever do is yell and grouch, it loses its effectiveness after a while.
