Fitz looked good just what we need him to do and expect him to do. Great touch quick release good pocket presence and the short time the starters were on the field everything looked fine to me considering Jawno. Defense is always timid in preseason not worried at all

By the way, if Cumberland doesn't drop that pass on 3rd down inside the 15...then the Jets are probably headed in to score and no one is freaking out about any of this shit. But he did and he sucks and he's our starter.... Exactly. We don't have someone who could have done better we can always count on him for this result.

One other note on last night's game.
Thought it was interesting that Kerley was out playing with the 3rd string late in the game, is it a message, or a sign that he may be on the bubble?
Tough decisions to be made with the #4 through #6 receiver spots, with Enumwa, Evans, Powell, Posey, and Kerley all battling for the 3 spots. I thought Posey stood out last night.

The Jets looked like any team would that has new coaches across the board, including head coach, new offense, new defense, and lost their starting QB, on the road in their 1st practice game. FitzMagic did he's job and Ivory ran hard! Points on the 1st series. Surprised how well Petty looked being his first game. Defense will be just fine. Takes time. Good reality check. Last night was ugly, no doubt. But anyone expecting the Jets to look pretty right out of the gates doesn't know how hard it is to swap something like 40% of the roster, install new offensive and defensive systems with all new coaches and get it all on the same page in just a few weeks. We definitely need to see improvement but there's no reason to hit the panic button yet. Can anyone tell me how many different players were starting on 1st team last night than were starting at the end of last season? On defense I think we had at least 7 new guys on the field last night!
Finally, some common sense.

The bubble is before the 4th preseason game starts.

New CBA makes it extremely difficult to develop OL. Been saying it for years now. Which is why we need to invest high picks in OL to avoid getting projects. We need plug and play guys. This OL is hanging on by a thread. God forbid something happens to Brick or Mangold we will not have an offense. That said, Cro has never tackled, Coples has always taken plays off and Pryor has always taken poor angles and put his head down to where he cant see the ball carrier. Not sure if a decade-long training camp can fix those issues. The starting o-line was out there for one drive. They blew open huge holes for Ivory. The only reason that drive died is because Cumberland sucks. O-line is solid this year, much better than the last few. Carpenter even pulled right on one play, and I was amazed at his speed getting a downfield block. WRs we're good, but the TEs sucked. That and QB are the glaring weaknesses on O. Still, Fitz did better than I expected. The D was obviously sitting back in a zone cov with a base 4 man rush. From what I've heard about Bowles, this will not be our base scheme. He might not want to tip his hand this early, but the guy isn't known as a tampa-2 type. A couple of annoying brain-farts happened out there, but nothing I'm terribly worried about. If things aren't tighter by game 3, I'll worry.

Not sure how a new scheme on D effects effort and tackling.
