Chris Wilson looked quite good

First two seasons under Shanny aren't going to be great, maybe 3. I know that is saying a lot, but you just can't expect to change systems on both sides of the ball and expect everything to run like a tuned up Corvette right off the bat. Shanny will have the same trouble Zorn did in that he doesn't have the right personnel for his systems that he has put in place, or quite frankly they might be inadequate. With the exception of Spurrier, the preseason has indeed been a good preview of how our offense/defense perform during the regular season. There are indeed some nice bright spots to build on, but the overall look so far is that of a .500 team. Skinsnut is right to be concerned, but that is if one expects us to be automatic playoff material. Who knows, maybe by Sept 12th it will all gel, but usually it doesn't with this team. In short, what you see in preseaon is pretty much what you get in the regular season.

I really would not be surprised at all to see Portis and Keiland Williams definitely make the team. If they carry only 3 RBs I think its a fight between LJ and Torain. I don't think Willie has done enough and they aren't giving him reps. Never a good sign. I wouldn't mind seeing Williams and Torain making it over LJ and Parker.

Random Stuff: Leigh Torrence just had a sweet pick-6 against SD's Billy Volek.

Didn't Banks fumble a return?

He did. He also took a 1 yard screen pass on 3rd and 13 and straight up FLEW for a first down. He's a real weapon if used properly. If we can use him in the return game and draw up situational plays for him out of the slot, on screen passes, and maybe a wildcat here and there, I think he could really contribute for us. We haven't had that kind of game breaking explosiveness forever around here.

I'm re-watching the game right now on TiVo, and the opening toss was funny. The Jets sent Brunell, Coles, and Jason Taylor out. LOL.

Yes he did. I'm as wowed as anyone by his speed, elusiveness, and just overall explosiveness. But that was the second time he put the ball on the ground in the preseason (first was a muffed punt against Buffalo) and I find that reason for concern.

What a difference a new D-Coord. makes. All of the sudden we have guys making plays on the ball (Hall, Buchanon, Landry) . Last season we were a boring, bland D that didn't give up alot but never took any chances. The run D is a concern but that's what happens when you switch to a 3-4 sometimes. I think it will get corrected and we will have a top 10 Defense. I really feel good about this whole team for the first time in a long time. HTTR

Saw someone say Portis sprained his ankle, how bad? any word on this and/or any other injuries?

Not serious

Let's see...Kelly is once again pretty much done, so is Willie, and Thomas is on the bubble. Great game except for the run defense.

tootergray34 · 08-28-2010, 01:12 AM

man did anybody see that write up on espn.com for the game? what A CROCK! so biased for the JETS it's ridiculous. they only showed the moss reception...that's it. everything else was the jets scoring drives and at the end they said and the skins scored on a late TD drive to win the game in the 4th.
