Here are my biggest questions about the team as the Jets transition from training camp to the regular season:
The Jets have been missing a lot of pieces from their running game this summer. Breece Hall missed most of training camp and did not play in the preseason. Dalvin Cook has yet to practice with the Jets since signing with the team two weeks ago.
On the offensive line, Duane Brown just returned to practice and did not play in the preseason. Alijah Vera-Tucker and Laken Tomlinson missed some time. The starting offensive line will not have practiced together in team drills until this week.“It’s going to take time to mesh all that together, new O-line and all that good stuff,” Jets coach Robert Saleh said. “I have faith in the fact that we’ll get it going sooner rather than later.
Aaron Rodgers hands the ball off to Michael Carter during the Jets’ preseason game against the Giants on Aug. 26.Rodgers will cover a lot of warts for the Jets and this is one he surely can help early in the season, but at some point the Jets will need to have a strong running game to achieve their lofty goals.The Jets starting secondary might be one of the best in the NFL. Sauce Gardner and D.J. Reed certainly form one of the best cornerback tandems in football.
In the slot, Randall Cobb has passed Mecole Hardman. While Cobb is clearly a favorite of Rodgers, it is fair to ask how much the 33-year-old has left. The retirement of Corey Davis left this room one receiver shorter than expected. We’ll see who makes it from the roster bubble and if he can contribute. Douglas also may look to add a receiver off the waiver wire this week.
Look, there is no question that the Jets’ defense is going to be great against the pass. The defensive line will get after the quarterback and the secondary is strong. But I am not positive how this unit will fare against good running teams. Al Woods certainly was a nice addition in the middle to replace Sheldon Rankins, but the defense was middle of the pack against the run last season and that could be the case again this year.
