On Sunday the Green Bay Packers look to get their first win of the season following a very disappointing effort against the Seattle Seahawks. The Packers will be facing a New York Jets team that dominated the Oakland Raiders with their power running game and stout defense.
Sure, Rex Ryan was happy to be 1-0 and saw some positives. He also knows the Jets should've cruised instead of holding on for a 19-14 victory against the Raiders.
Sure, it was just one game, but it was a telling game. There's really no way around it: This Geno Smith is not the same player that some of you have grown to mistrust.
The Patriots being all alone in last place means absolutely nothing as far as the rest of the season is concerned. In terms of comedic value, however, it's fantastic.
He wasn't happy with the 11 penalties — not including two others that were declined — his team was called for. The Jets coach also wasn't pleased by winning by just five points.
The New York Jets impressed next to no one with their 19-14 victory over the Oakland Raiders. Gang Green made several mistakes on both sides of the football while racking up 11 penalties. Luckily for the Jets the Raiders were starting a rookie quarterback that was overwhelmed by Rex Ryan's defense.
There was one player whose development Sunday took me by surprise and deserves some extra attention. And no, it's not quarterback Geno Smith.
Chris Ivory burst through a few tackle attempts for a 71-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter, and the New York Jets' defense clamped down on Oakland rookie quarterback Derek Carr in a 19-14 victory Sunday.
It wasn't the prettiest of Jets victories, but Craig is certainly encouraged, although curbing his own enthusiasm.
"The group that's conspicuously absent in terms of voice on this is the NFL Players Association and their leader, DeMaurice Smith."
Chris Ivory burst through a few tackle attempts for a 71-yard touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter, and the New York Jets' defense clamped down on Oakland rookie quarterback Derek Carr.
With more weapons at his disposal, Smith and the Jets look for better things in his second season as they host the Oakland Raiders on Sunday.
It's hard to argue with him, especially after a solid summer in which he looked anything but a 34-year-old quarterback in the twilight of his career.
Michael Vick knows he has a lot of football left in him. He sees it when he watches himself on film. He feels it when he zips around the field and flings the ball downfield.
Who knows what's going to happen? The Jets will be without their best cornerback when they take on the visiting Oakland Raiders in the season opener on Sunday.
