The Jets are a train wreck at 0-8 and people just can\u2019t look away.\u00a0 I can \u2026 it was difficult to write this article as this game doesn\u2019t inspire me at all.\u00a0 Adam Gase will be lucky to finish the year as their coach.\u00a0 They have already unloaded LeVeon Bell and Avery Williamson.\u00a0 \u201cNever for Trevor\u201d is the battle cry, however, Joe Namath proclaimed if the Jets draft QB Trevor Lawrence, he might force a trade like Eli Manning did.<\/p>\n
The key to defeating the Jets is keeping them in 3rd<\/sup> and long.\u00a0 They help their opponents by playing 11 personnel nearly 70% of the time.\u00a0 This is 4th<\/sup> most in the league.\u00a0 They also tend to run on 2nd<\/sup> and long.\u00a0 That\u2019s just stupid and ultimately leads to 3rd<\/sup> and long and a quick exit to 3 and out.\u00a0 The Defense tends to end up on the field for long stretches.<\/p>\n The Bell signing was a complete disaster.\u00a0 They lost their best receiver Rob Anderson to free agency.\u00a0 Jamison Crowder is a terrific slot receiver but he has been dinged up this year, missing the last two games and is questionable for Monday night.\u00a0\u00a0 Former Pats player, Braxton Berrios, is the 2nd<\/sup> leading receiver.\u00a0 He has 23 catches on 38 targets for 320 yds, a 9.1 ypc and 2 TDs.\u00a0 Former Boston College Eagle, Jeff Smith, has been converted to WR and has 14 catches for 141 yds for 10.1 ypc.\u00a0 He has been targeted 33 times and is catching them less than 50% of the time.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Rookie Denzel Mims has been the leading receiver the last two weeks with 42 yards in each game.\u00a0 Breshard Perriman has been hurt most of the year.\u00a0 Frank Gore has filled in for Bell and is averaging 3.6 ypa, but he is a relic in terms of NFL players and I would be shocked if he is able to carry the load for the Jets over the course of the season.<\/p>\n There is not much to say about the Defense.\u00a0 They traded away Jamaal Adams and then flipped Avery Williamson at the deadline.\u00a0 Quinnen Williams has been a bust and is questionable for Monday Night.\u00a0 Five times this year they have given up 30 points.<\/p>\n The Patriots have 17 players on their injury report.\u00a0 N\u2019Keal Harry and JJ Taylor did not participate in practice today which is an indication they won\u2019t be available for Monday Night.\u00a0 Carl Davis, Stephon Gilmore and Lawrence Guy were back and limited.\u00a0 Guy has three separate injuries.\u00a0 Who dresses for the game is anybody\u2019s guess.\u00a0 Will newly acquired Isaiah Ford dress?<\/p>\n Thank goodness Halloween is over because it would be great if Trick or Treat Cam Newton can stop playing around.\u00a0 It’s time for Cam to shine and this would be a good time for him to show what he can do.<\/p>\n Some of the statistical analysis was provided by NBC Analyst Warren Sharp.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Jets are a train wreck at 0-8 and people just can\u2019t look away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":32152,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22204],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-33055","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-2020-patriots-season"],"yoast_head":"\n
