Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

The Jets are out of the bye and entering a six week home stretch of the 2018 season. While they remain mathematically within Playoff contention, any postseason dreams seem like a longshot. The schedule at the end of the year looks daunting for a team that struggled through easier portions.

There still is plenty of pressure facing some members of the Jets. The focus of today's podcast is the people who are under this pressure. We will discuss some of the people under the most pressure over the last six games of the 2018 season. We will especially look at Todd Bowles, the offensive line, and Trumaine Johnson, all of whom need to elevate their respective games.

We are now past the bye in 2018 and entering the home stretch of the season. For the 3-7 Jets, it looks like another year without much excitement near the end of the season. The team stumbled into its week off with an embarrassing home loss to the Buffalo Bills, extending a losing streak to four games. Can things get better over the final six games?

On today's podcast we check out some important things to watch after the bye. Many of these have implications that go beyond 2018 for the Jets. They include the play of Sam Darnold, the play of his supporting cast, the offensive scheme, the performance of potential cap casualties, the performance of potential free agents, the performance of rookies, and the coaching staff. On today's show we look at all of these things as the season gets set to resume this Sunday.

The Jets are in their bye week. There is no game to preview this week. This gives us a little extra time so I decided to finish up the mailbag. On yesterday's mailbag show, I was unable to get to all of the questions. With the opportunity to do a second mailbag, I can get to the remainder. Thanks to everybody who sent questions.

On today's show we look at the concept of tanking, how attractive the Jets will be to potential free agents as well as coaching and general manager candidates if they keep losing games, whether teams should value corners more than pass rushers in today's NFL, what would need to happen to make the Jets keeping Mike Maccagnan and Todd Bowles acceptable, what a competent search for a general manager looks like, and whether Sam Darnold should have a lock on the starting job in 2019 no matter what.

It is the Thursday of the bye week for the Jets so we will head to the mailbag on the podcast. Thanks to everybody who submitted questions. Apologies if we did not get to your question today. We might be able to do so in a future mailbag.

Today we look at how much Todd Bowles is to blame for a lack of player development, the dangers of giving Mike Maccagnan one more year, whether the Jets should play less aggressive coverages, whether the Jets should keep Sam Darnold on the bench for the rest of the year, how the Jets should build their team, whether Davis Webb should be on the team, what the Jets should do in the 2019 NFL Draft, whether the Giants or Jets are on the faster track to success, and whether Pete Carmichael, Jr. might be a good head coaching candidate.

We have reached the bye week for the 2018 New York Jets. We are a little past the halfway point of the 2018 season, but it is a good point to take stock of what we have seen so far. The first ten games of 2018 have been a turbulent stretch with some highs but more lows.

On today's podcast we look back at some of the key developments of 2018 so far for the Jets. We will look at some of the positives such as the development of key defensive players and the overall performance of the special teams unit. We will also look back at some of the negatives, such as the performance of key free agent signings not named Avery Williamson and the coaching staff.

It is an ugly time for the New York Jets. The team heads into its bye week on a four game losing streak. The most recent of those losses was particularly ugly, a 41-10 home blowout at the hands of a Bills team playing a quarterback recently signed off the street.

Change is in the air with the Jets. It won't come immediately. Reports broke on Monday that the team will not fire Todd Bowles at this point. While this will be to the chagrin of some fans, the long-term impacts are negligible. It is merely delaying the inevitable. Bowles will be fired at some point in the coming weeks.

Less clear is the job status of Mike Maccagnan, the team's general manager. Many people think he will survive. Many think his body of work is superior to Bowles'. Is it really, though? I have my doubts. Maccagnan's suspect record is the topic of today's podcast.

The Jets humiliated themselves yesterday at MetLife Stadium. The Bills came into the Meadowlands and delivered a 41-10 shellacking to New York. The Jets now head into their bye with a grotesque 3-7 record and riding a four game losing streak.

On today's podcast we sift through the Sunday disaster in East Rutherford. In many ways this feels like a point of no turning back for a head coach and possibly a general manager. Ironically, the rookie quarterback sitting has provided us with a view of how much his team has been letting him down. On the show we will discuss potential short-term and long-term implications of this beatdown.

I'm back! Thanks to everybody for putting up with my absence over the last few days. Today we celebrate the return of the podcast with a mailbag. Thanks to everybody who submitted questions. Apologies if your question was not answered. There were too many great questions to get to all of them. Feel free to resubmit yours next week if it was not answered this week.

On today's show we look at whether the offense will change with Josh McCown likely taking over at quarterback on Sunday, whether I would want to be owner, general manager, or head coach, whether there might be more to Sam Darnold's injury than meets the eye, how much danger Todd Bowles' job is in, and the importance of finding a quality offensive coordinator.

The Jets make their annual trip to South Florida this weekend. This week's opponent is the division rival Miami Dolphins. The Jets will look to pay back the Dolphins for a Week 2 loss and brutal defeats in Miami the last two years.

On today's podcast we preview this divisional battle. We look at key players, key matchups, and keys to victory as the Jets look to end their two game losing streak. With a win this week, New York will have a great opportunity to get to the bye at .500 win a win next week against the Bills.
