The New York Jets had a decent 2020 season finishing 7-9 and missing the playoffs. Things never took off with Adam Gase at the helm the and the owners decided it was time for a change. The Jets hired Christian Allen to the head coaching position at the end of the season and hoed he could turn the team around.
During the offseason Coach Allen made some key additions: Damarious Randall, Derek Barnett, Forrest Lamp, HA HA Clinton-Dix and Laurent Deuvernay-Tardif are all players traded or signed during free agency during this eventful offseason. Eventful draft for the team headlined by Penei Sewelll Jets looked to had found their identity.
With the trade deadline 2 weeks away don’t be surprised if the team makes some moves. Currently 2-3 and sitting in 3rd in the AFC East the New York have hit a stump. Currently in a 3-game losing streak the Jets seem to be finding themselves back at square one. Currently 1st in the league in rushing yards the rookie CJ Verdell has lived up to the hype. Through week 6 CJ has already recorded 9 touchdowns averaging 7.6 yards per carry. When asked about the team’s struggles CJ did not shy away from the spotlight, he aggressively asserted that it was his lack of impact on the game that is the reason for the losses simply put JUST GIVE HIM THE BALL.
Next up the Jets return to MetLife in hopes of hitting .500 by beating the 3-1 Jacksonville Jaguars.
