a couple of post game thoughts
I only caught the 2nd half of the game, so I won't do an "Idle thoughts" tonight..... ButI DO have a few.
1. What I liked most about what I saw in Mack Jones today was how he moved in the pocket and his escapeability . He showed that he too is a good athlete as well as an accurate passer. I believe that we will see that even more in the future as he becomes more acclimated the more experienced he becomes
2. The defense didn't look that great. Not bad, but just not crisp. The Jets moved the ball pretty well in the 2nd half. No 3 and outs like you would hope with a back up QB.
3. I wonder how Jet fans felt watching this game knowing that they seemed to move the ball better with White as their QB.
4. Watching Justin Field against TB, vs watching Mac vs Tampa Bay,. I couldn't help but feel we dodged a bullet when Mac fell to us. He looked completely clueless. Who knows what he might become in a few years, but right now he isn't an NFL QB.
5. JJ Williams did a good job today. He had 3 pass break ups. Lets see if he gets more run. He might have to.
.
6. Don't look now but we have the same record as the Chiefs
7. CJ Mosley was hurt today, but HE's the guy I'd like to see as our MLB nest season. IIRC he's a FA and has the sideline to sideline speed we need. He also covers RB's better than anyone we currently have, Just a thought.
8. Brian Hoyer had a better QB rating than Mac Jones....and Kendrick Bournes' passing ratting was over 40 point higher than either of them.
9. Matt Judon had a quite game today with only one tackle and zero QB hits. However that's better than Josh Uche managed. He continues to be my biggest disappointment on defense thus far. The kid is amazingly athletic and fast, but it seems he just doesn't have the size or strength to be a consistent source of pressures on the edge.
10. With his one catch from Hoyer, NKeal Harry showed how he could be used in the future. BTW- he had beaten his man on is double move, but he also showed what he can do when he is covered when he had to come back to the ball. Maybe that catch was a start.....
