CTskin Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 I'm with @Morneblade in regard to Lanier. He's a decent pass rusher, but he's so brutally bad vs the run that it's hard for me to like him. He will likely make the team, but I don't want to see him in on anything other than 3rd and longs. I'm becoming very concerned with our backup OLBs. Anderson couldn't beat the Jets' scrubs and McPhee was invisible. McKinzy dominated the Jets' scrubs, which doesn't mean that I think he should make the team over the aforementioned players, but the coaches need to set pride aside when making the cuts. I've heard good things about Robertson in camp and was hoping to see something, but didn't. Regardless, our starting front 7, assuming they stay healthy all year (which is laughable for us), is very strong. In the secondary, I have complete confidence in Norman, Swearinger and Nicholson and I'm hoping that Moreau and Dunbar can show progress next week when they'll play all half. I like the young talent behind them. Praying for finally a healthy year because if we get it, this D will be pretty damn good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes our D was A LOT better before Allen went down vs Philly.. Then the dominoes fell. At some point in the 4th quarter it was rough, but KC didnt tear us apart that game. In fact we were shutting them down for awhile, doing a really good job. We DID miss plays int he 4th quarter which hurt us, but I also think part of that was because the offense wasnt staying on the field so our D didnt get a rest and tired out. That was a game where if our offense made the plays that were there, like dropped touchdowns, and kept drives alive we win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jets kept most of the starting OL out there, so Anderson was going against the 1's. But I agree, neither he or McPhee showed much. As for the depth Jerod Hernandez had some really nice plays, including a big stuff near the goal line. But he is small for a OLB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were controlling that game, but the momentum swung quick toward the end of the 2nd half... and KC did what most teams did against us... scored to finish the half, then scored to open the 3rd quarter. KC had 429 total yards of offense... I will say the D stood up enough and we had a chance to win that game, but i don't believe it was 'domination' the same way we handled LAR and OAK.

Anderson was still playing pretty late into the game (unless we have a backup OLB #52 who I was confusing him with, didn't have my glasses on). The fact of the matter is that he didn't make a play vs 1s and didn't make a play vs scrubs, no bueno... I held out hope that he'd take a sophomore leap, but I've lost quite a bit of that optimism.

I don't know how many 2nd teams the Jets had on the OL last night in the 2nd half, if any. Spencer Long played the whole game, and I thing they had most of the staring OL out there, just so Bridgewater would not face a lot of pressure, coming back from that horrific knee injury. But he did not do much, granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we dominated LAR and OAK and though it started out that way with KC, definitely didnt end that way. I had forgotten how we always gave up points at the end of the half basically every game. Thanks for reminding of that nightmare.... ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonez3 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Jerod Fernandez had a nice showing against the fodder. He definitely flashed speed though, maybe a nice developmental player/PS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember dreading the last 5 minutes of the first half.. At times I would almost get upset if we scored points, because i didnt want to give possession back with ANY time left.

It was basically a given that a team would score regardless of how much time was on the clock at the end of the half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he's leaned out a little bit... being with the big club. They probably dont want to mess with his weight much but being able to work out with an NFL players schedule, dietitian, and training staff probably allows him to focus on certain areas better.
