QB Zach Wilson.\u00a0 They are coming off the Bye after their loss to the Atlanta Falcons in London.\u00a0 That means they have had 9 days to prepare and get healthy.\u00a0 The Bye is a huge factor in this game.\u00a0 Their lone victory was against the Tennessee Titans (how is that possible)!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Depth Chart <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"height:

width=\"64\">&#8211;<\/td>\n<td width=\"64\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After Jets GM Joe Douglas traded away Sam Darnold to Carolina, they were committed to rookie Zach Wilson.\u00a0 \u00a0I would have kept Darnold and let Wilson learn under him for a year.\u00a0 Remember, the GOAT Tom Brady had a year under Drew Bledsoe before he became the starter, and that was only because Bledsoe got hurt.\u00a0 Generally, rookies make lots of mistakes.\u00a0 Wilson is a typical rookie.\u00a0 The last time these teams met, Wilson threw 4 Interceptions and no TDs.\u00a0 \u00a0It&#8217;s Zach Wilson\u2019s inconsistencies that are making the Jets a dysfunctional offense.\u00a0 In Pro Football Focus\u2019s rankings, Wilson is 29 of 32 starters.\u00a0 He has a season-low 49.8 passing rating and a 37.0 QB rating.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t put all the blame on Wilson.\u00a0 Offensive Coordinator Mike LaFleur\u2019s play-calling leaves a lot to be desired.\u00a0 In all 5 games, the Jets have been off to slow starts.\u00a0 In fact, they have not scored a point in the 1<sup>st<\/sup> Quarter of any of those games.\u00a0 Given they have had 9 days to prepare and another 4 to practice for this game, I expect the Jets to come out on fire, especially against our porous secondary.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The O-line has been a problem for the Jets, especially RG Greg Van Roten.\u00a0 LG Alijah Vera-Tucker was under consideration by the Pats coaching staff for selection at the #15 pick.\u00a0 He was selected by the Jets one pick before the Patriots at #14.\u00a0 Thankfully they didn&#8217;t trade it to a team hungry for a QB and the Pats elected Mac Jones.\u00a0 George Fant is a big man at LT, but he is limited and I think the Pats Matt Judon could expose him.\u00a0 \u00a0They lost stud Tackle Mekhi Becton to IR just before the 1st Patriots game (week 2).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These receivers are not the Dallas Cowboys wide receivers (thank god).\u00a0 The wideouts have a lot of talent, Corey Davis is the number one target of Wilson.\u00a0 Davis has 20 catches on 36 targets (nearly as many incompletions as receptions).\u00a0 Is that Wilson\u2019s fault, probably?\u00a0 Davis is averaging 15.1 yards per catch, for 302 yards and 3 TDs.\u00a0 Jamison Crowder is a very consistent slot receiver that has put up big catch numbers the last two seasons.\u00a0 He has only played 2 games and has 11 catches on 15 targets for 85 yards and a TD.\u00a0 Former Patriots draft pick Braxton Berrios is #2 in receptions with 16.\u00a0 The Jets have been waiting for Denzel Mims to breakout,\u00a0 He has 3 catches in 4 targets for 73 yards and a 24.3 yards per reception average, 0 TDs.\u00a0 This year&#8217;s speedster is Elijah Moore.\u00a0 He ran a blistering 4.35 40 and a 6.67 3-cone drill in pre-draft workouts.\u00a0 In just 8 games at Mississippi last year he had 83 catches for 1193 yards and 8 TDs.\u00a0 That was against SEC competition!\u00a0 They are a big threat if Wilson can get them the ball.\u00a0 Another speedster is former BC WR Jeff Smith. \u00a0He has 2 catches for a 24 yard per catch average.\u00a0 \u00a0Smith has been out with a concussion but practiced this week and should be available this week.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Running Back position has been a mixed bag.\u00a0 Veteran Tevin Coleman started the year at RB.\u00a0 Everyone knew he was keeping the seat warm.\u00a0 The Jets are still waiting on rookie Michael Carter from North Carolina to take the position.\u00a0 Ty Johnson has had his opportunity but injuries have slowed him down.\u00a0 Look for Johnson to get his touches too.\u00a0 Carter catches the ball well and has 9 catches so far.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know why LaFleur is not using Coleman on 3rd down.\u00a0 He has a very good track record of being a reliable 3<sup>rd<\/sup> down back.\u00a0 He has only 2 catches.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Griffin and Tyler Kroft are the TEs.\u00a0 They contribute very little and Kroft is likely headed to the IR before the game.\u00a0 \u00a0He missed both Wednesday and Thursday practices.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<table style=\"height: 947px;\" width=\"741\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"64\"><\/td>\n<td width=\"127\"><strong>Defense<\/strong><\/td>\n<td
