Good morning, Gang Green Nation! We’re one day away from the NFL conference championship games, and nine years away from the Jets being there. Maybe next year the Jets will be playing in a championship game. Just a few weeks away from the team beginning the process of making that a possibility in the off season.
Here are your links to the Jets this glorious Saturday in January:

It is time for our weekly FanPulse check in.
Each week SB Nation sends a survey to NFL fans to get their views. Throughout the season we have chronicled how much confidence Jets fans had in the team’s direction. With the season over, that is unlikely to change much until free agency.
Today we look at how fans across the league view the four remaining teams.
When asked which team they want to see win Super Bowl LIV, a...

We’ve been reviewing how former Jets have been faring with their new teams. In this final installment, we’re going to review some ex-Jets who didn’t spend time on any team’s active roster during 2019 but have been on a practice squad, injured reserve or recently signed a futures deal for 2020:

We have reached Conference Championship weekend in the NFL. This weekend two teams will punch their tickets to Super Bowl LIV in Miami.
In the AFC Championship Game the Tennessee Titans will visit the Kansas City Chiefs. This year’s AFC title game will be a refreshing chance of pace for Jets fans as the Patriots are not in the conference championship game for the first time in nine years. The Chiefs host the game for the second straight season and look...

Throughout the offseason, I will be running through a series of Q&As with our fellow SB Nation blogs across the AFC. The ball gets rolling with a recap of the 2019 season, while previews of the 2020 Draft, training camp, and the 2020 season are to come later on.
We continue with a team in Florida that vastly exceeded its historically low expectations — the Miami Dolphins. Kevin Nogle of The Phinsider was able to answer a few...

Good morning, GGN! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. It seems as if the ‘will he stay, or will he go’ back and forth between the Jets and Le’Veon Bell will continue even further. After Joe Douglas assured people earlier this season of Bell’s presence on the team next year, reports are now indicating that the two sides are more than likely heading towards a breakup. It’s...

The other day I posted the totals for Jets special teams tackles in 2019.
One thing that jumped out at me was that long snapper Thomas Hennessy had 4 tackles in punt coverage. A long snapper isn’t really put on the field to make tackles so that seemed pretty high. Still I had no context to know how many tackles the typical long snapper compiles.
Of course this is 2020 so you can find information for practically anything on the web....

Welcome back to the latest edition of the Thursday podcast mailbag. Thanks to everybody who submitted questions for this week’s episode. Unfortunately due to time constraints I was not able to get to all of them. Please feel free to resend your unanswered questions for next week’s show.
Today we look at whether Sam Darnold could be considered a success if he never becomes more than an average quarterback, what price the Jets should pay for a...

Good morning, GGN! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Two excellent achievements were reached by members of Green and White yesterday. Jamal Adams was named to the all-NFL team by the PFWA, adding to his 1st team All-Pro selection he achieved as well. The other achievement seemed long overdue, as Winston Hill was elected to the Hall of Fame. Hill joins Joe Namath, Don Maynard, and...

It is one of the most famous plays in recent NFL history. Right before halftime of Super Bowl LII the Eagles scored a touchdown on a fourth down and goal play. Quarterback Nick Foles motioned out of the backfield and eventually caught a touchdown pass from tight end Trey Burton, who had played some quarterback in college. The play was one of the key moments in the Eagles’ upset win over the Patriots.
Lately I have started to wonder whether we will...

On a podcast last week we evaluated the Jets rookie class of 2019. Today we step back a year to look at how the second year went for the 2018 Draft class.
In some ways the second year is more important than the first. Rookies rarely produce meaningful contributions. Expectations for first year players are frequently not aligned with reality.
The biggest improvement in the careers of many players occurs between their first and second...

Good morning, Gang Green Nation! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day! Two great players in the NFL retired yesterday, one of which was quite a surprise. The first was Chargers’ TE Antonio Gates, while the other was Carolina Panthers’ LB Luke Kuechly. While Gates seemed to be fighting father time for years, Luke Kuechly was only 28 years old when he announced it yesterday. And...
Jets general manager Joe Douglas is banking on the familiarity of coach Adam Gase and the same coordinators from 2019 to fuel improvement in 2020.

Who is contributing in the third phase of the game? Let’s take a look at Jets special teams tackle totals in 2019 using the Pro Football Reference Play Index.
To offer the a distinction between those who showed value on kickoff and punt coverage units, I will split them into two separate categories.

Creed Humphrey announced that he is returning to school and will not be entering the 2020 NFL Draft even though he had a good chance to be selected in the first round. Actually Creed has two years of eligibility left so there is no guarantee he will be in the Draft pool in 2021 either.
Creed Humphrey is sort of a legend in in Oklahoma. He was always a big kid, and when you are from Shawnee High School in the middle...

As we approach the new league year, the Jets will have several important decisions to make. Among these decisions are whether to keep or cut a handful of players.
The Jets have less projected salary cap space than they did a year ago and roughly as many needs. Jettisoning a few contracts can increase the team’s spending power.
On today’s podcast we examine potential Jets cap cuts. Some of the cuts will be fairly obvious. Trumaine Johnson comes to mind (in...
