The Jets are hoping to see encouraging indicators from Ryan Fitzpatrick, who exclusively tried three passes in his debut with the staff. New York has given Geno Smith’s alternative their greatest receiving corps within the final 5 years, and the first-team offense ought to see prolonged time on the sector.
Matt Ryan: He’s attained a flawless 158.3 passer rating in both games so far, completing 10 of his 11 pass attempts for 161 yards and 2 touchdowns.
Kansas City Chiefs tight end James O’Shaughnessy (80) celebrates a touchdown with fullback Spencer Ware (30) during the second half of a preseason NFL football game at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., Friday. I’ll lead off by saying that my expectations are sky high for the Big Cat.
Other than the promising play of Petty for the Jets, they also had Chris Ivory run 36 yards on five carries, and he had a touchdown. Sean Renfree completed 10-of-14 passes for 94 yards. That said, the kid has played 2 preseason games.
Mario Lemieux is the best center of all time.
Someone put wide receiver Eric Decker’s face on a milk carton because he’s been lost for the first two games of the preseason.
The Jets evoked memories of the Rex Ryan era Friday night, when they racked up a whopping 17 penalties in the win over the Falcons. Jaiquawn Jarrett started in his place. Coach Todd Bowles expects Fitzpatrick and the rest of the starters to play about a half in this one.
His backups haven’t fared well this preseason. “(There was) definitely progress from where I was last week to this week, so that’s good”.
Can’t say I felt anything about it until this question was asked, but that’s only because Barkley is still under contract as a quarterback for the Eagles, which means there isn’t a whole lot the Jets can do about him right now. No gassers needed. He’ll get another chance to prove his skills against an aggressive Falcons front that features several first-rounds picks in Vic Beasley, Tyson Jackson and Adrian Clayborn.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) – Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson and Chiefs counterpart Alex Smith struggled behind their unsettled offensive lines in Kansas City’s 14-13 preseason victory over Seattle on Friday night.
Smith was named the team’s starting quarterback before in the offseason, and he was getting a majority of the first-team reps in practice. Fitzpatrick threw a two-point conversion pass to Brandon Marshall. But if Petty is thrust into a starting position in 2015, the Jets’ season is likely over. However, he’s showed unexpected improvement very early. “It’s like, ‘OK, we really need to get a good evaluation of you, let’s make sure this might go into fifteen or twenty plays.’ For the guys that don’t need as many, so it won’t be just by the unit, but we’ll go by a particular player where some will go longer”.
Antonio Allen’s season-ending Achilles injury opens up an opportunity to secure a roster spot as a backup safety.
