Bit of a wild week around the league

Jets QB Mark Sanchez got the starting nod tonight, and on his first pass threw a pick six...on a screen pass...to a defensive lineman.  Ouch.

 

The good news for Sanchez - if you can call it that - is that Geno Smith was said to be unimpressive as well and may have injured his ankle.

 

In a "this could get interesting" moment, Justin Blackmon was escorted off the field in Jacksonville after having a heated discussion with...a teammate (DE Jason Babin).  Jags coach Gus Bradley was reportedly pissed at Blackmon afterward.

 

Apparently unnoticed in tonight's Panther game, Bears DT - and franchise player - Henry Melton, left the game early with a concussion.

Looks like another dumpster fire year for the Jets. Sucks for them.

 

Blackmon is a talented receiver, but his penchant for trouble and poor decision making combined with playing in Jacksonville with the worst QB's imaginable could mean a short NFL career if he doesn't get out of there.

Apparently Terrell McClain is on the Texans now and had 2.5 sacks in their game against the Vikings.  It was probably against 3rd stringers, but still interesting nonetheless...

 

Obviously our DT situation is looking awesome right now, but I still thought we cut ties with McClain too early.

Didn't he play for the Falcons briefly last year too?

I remember the Terrel McClain pick, do you guys remember who was drafted one pick ahead of him?? Randall Cobb. I face palmed. I wanted Cobb so bad.

 

Jarred Green caught a few balls for the Cowboys, I wish him the best.

 

I don't understand why everyone calls the Jets a dumpster fire all the time. Yeah they have a bad QB and a loud mouth coach but they were 6-10 last year. The Chiefs had the worst record in the league and nobody says poo about them. The Panthers were only 7-9 and people act like the Jets are a free win this year. Rex coaches really sound defense, I expect another mediocre season from them.

He never played for the Falcons from what I remember.  He got signed by the Patriots shortly after we cut him, but I think he only stuck with them for a week or so before he got cut again.  Not sure when the Texans picked him up...

I liked McClain. He wasn't as bad as what most fans thought of him before he was cut. Fua is terrible one and should have been the one who got gutted.

unnoticed by the announcers.

They also didn't play Peppers, so if you think the 1st string OL didn't do so badly, just keep that in mind.

I would have 3 years ago. The Peppers we see now and the one that played for the Panthers are two different players.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
