New York Jets Training Camp Preview! | Biggest Storylines Heading Into Camp!

[Music] All right, guys. What’s going on? Welcome in. So, training camp kicks off tomorrow. I am freaking excited. Jets football’s back. The NFL’s back. Let’s go, dude. Let’s freaking go. Um, so many things to kind of get into here. So many different storylines. Uh, the first, it goes without saying, right? No injuries. That’s obviously like the top of the top of the list for not only just the Jets, but for every team. But specifically, when I’m diving into the Jets, what to me are like the biggest storylines? What are the things that I’m most looking forward to uh hearing, seeing out of this Jets training camp? The first is how does Aaron Glenn conduct these practices? Right? We’ve heard like Tyson from Let’s Talk Jets Radio is talking about this all the time. Like he just was not a fan of how the solid practices were ran. He felt like they were a little too soft. He didn’t understand why they would pull the refs out of practice and the Jets, you know, ironically enough, were one of the most penalized teams in football. It always kind of felt like there was an issue with that. Um, just strange things. Uh, it’s he talks about how um certain guys would just get a pass. Doesn’t really matter how they’re practicing or playing. You’re so and so, you’re this big of a name, you’re on this style of a contract, you are this high of a pick, you get a pass. Um, what’s the vibe going to be like with Glenn? Is it going to be completely old school? Now, of course, there’s new rules with the NFL, uh, making it a little bit different, you know, compared to, uh, back when he was a player as far as the practice rules and whatnot go, but, um, will it be maybe overboard, right? because we’ve seen some coaches have that, you know, they come in, they’re super excited, they’re just on fire, they really want to maximize their guys it and really just trying to get trying to put their best foot forward, but doing it at an overly aggressive rate. Like, think back to Greg Shiano when he got the job at the Bucks, you know, someone who just came in, tried to change the culture, did change the culture, but it it was just too much. If I had to take a guess on how a Glenn le practice as a head coach would look like, I’m going to assume there’s probably going to be a lot of player encouragement, right? Glenn being vocal, Glenn being active, offense, defense, really kind of being around the football, being in the huddle, just being hands-on, in other words. Um, also lots of maybe hard coaching. Like you’re looking at this coaching staff, especially on the defense side of the football. of uh you know multiple former players. You have a guy in Sews who’s been around the game for a long long time. We know Glenn’s coaching style. Uh just looking back to the clips of Detroit and kind of how players have talked about Glenn on the practice field. I think it’s going to be structured. I think it’s going to be planned out, which is what I’m really hoping for it. I I I assume that everything that they do is going to have a point to it and they’re not going to be doing things that are just wasting time or, you know, just we’re going to throw competing out the window. We’re going to, you know, have fun today. Have fun for the next couple days. I I don’t really see a situation like that. You know, Rex Ryan shake weight situation back on Hard Knocks. I I don’t really see a situation like that either. um detailed, to the point, and everything is done with a purpose with an emphasis on competing and getting better. That’s kind of my or I guess maybe in a vocal hands-on matter. That’s probably my uh assumption heading into training camp. The next thing I’m really looking forward to is the running game, right? Both offensively and defensively. You know, on offense here, we know we have good backs. We know we have a good offensive line. We know Tanner Instin wants to run the football. We know Justin Fields can run the football as well. We’re going to talk about him in a second, but that’s going to be the identity of this football team. I have a very hard time, you know, believing that Tanner Ingstrand is going to be, you know, looking at this roster, looking at the personnel, talking all off seasonason, and then we’re going to come out uh just like last year and throw it 40 plus times a game. Uh 35 plus times a game. talk all off seasonason how we want to be this like physical rushing attack and we just don’t do it and we’re just this like passappy squad. Um unless we’re just completely shredded on the defensive side of the football. I just don’t see that happening. So how does this running game look? How is the rushing scheme? What’s the percentage going to be with Justin Fields lining up under the center handing the football off compared to shotgun handoffs? And that’s actually a problem that I’ve had with, you know, former uh offensive coordinators before in the past. You know, Mike Laflur actually comes to mind. You know, I didn’t I didn’t mind Mike Laflur. I thought he did a decent job just all things considered looking at what he had to work with and you know, uh, understanding that Salah wasn’t really helping him out on the offensive side of the football. Leaf Laflur was trying to learn his way as well. Um, but one thing that was just kind of frustrating watching the the Laflor offense, anytime the quarterback was under center, it was a handoff, you know, and if it wasn’t a handoff, it was a play action. No three-step drops, no fivestep drops, no sevenstep drops. Like it just kind of felt very obvious from a defensive perspective like, okay, Zach Wilson, Mike White, they’re under center. We know what’s going to happen. Uh hack it a little bit too. He was a he was pretty heavy on the play action like play actions uh early calling play action plays early in uh drives like on first and second down and whatnot. But in any case, is the Jets offense going to be more so Fields under center handing the football off or in the shotgun handing the football off? Right. I think for me, what I would want to see is a 50/50 split of both. I don’t want us to be one-dimensional. I also don’t want teams to read us like a book. Um, so I think if you can get under center and defenses are like h it could be a pass, it could be a run, it could be a play action, could be a lot of things, a quick pass, a big drop, like there’s a lot of things that could happen here. It just keeps them on their toes. Um, and then obviously with shotgun, like majority of offenses just run so much shotgun anyway, so defenses are used to it. But yeah, what’s the running game going to look like? That’s just on offense. And then on defense if we know the Jets offense is going to be spearheaded by this approach or we could assume that it is. How does the defense stop it? We don’t really have that big primary run stuffer. We did bring in a couple of veterans. Uh we’ll see what happens there. Um I do like our linebackers. I I like the ability to play in for run support and everything like that. But if that is the number one weapon that this Jets offense has, and this seems to be the biggest weakness of the Jets defense, stopping the run, how do these two, you know, sides collide? Is it going to be Jets offensive wins every single drive, every single day in practice, and the defense needs to, you know, adjust and maybe bring in a free agent or maybe we have someone step up to the plate and maybe start developing and surprising some people? That would be great. So, I I think for me it’s going to be a pretty fun matchup, right? This whole how does this whole run game dynamic look on both sides of the football? Next up, the development of quarterback Justin Fields. How does he look? How does Justin Fields look from day one to day three, day three to week two? You know, is there growth in place? Is he going backwards? you know, up to this point, he never really felt like the Bears coaching staff, even the Steelers coaching staff, um, even though like Arthur Smith, Mike Tomlin, these guys are more respected than like the Luke Gets of the world that Fields has had to work with before in the past. Um, you just never felt like a team opened their arms to Fields and said, “Hey, you’re our guy, even if it’s just for one season. Here’s your runway. here’s a system that fits and is tailored towards your strengths, towards your skill set, and let’s just watch you grow. Let’s put you in positions to have success. Let’s cross out the things that you don’t feel comfortable with. We’re not going to, you know, ask you to do X, Y, and Z if you feel like you either can’t do it or the offense is just going to stall if we do try it. But let’s just stick to what works. Let’s stick to what Fields feels comfortable with and looking at what he is good at. Highlighting those, highlighting the arm strength, highlighting the legs, highlighting the escapability. Really utilizing that stuff. Um, as opposed to just saying, “Hey, you’re the quarterback here. Here’s my system. You run this, please.” That was kind of the vibe in Pittsburgh. And, you know, to to be honest, Fields was never like in line to be the starting quarterback. that’s not what really why he was brought in. Uh, of course, Russell Wilson was brought in in the same offseason. He was the starter, but he dealt with injuries. So, you know, you’re not going to tailor the offense completely, tear it down, and bring it back up in, you know, a couple weeks to fit Justin Fields for the first month of the season, and you’re just like waiting for Russ to get healthy. Um, so, you know, it’s it’s not a knock on anyone. It’s just, hey, this hasn’t happened before in the past, and it is happening here with the Jets. So, do we see strides? Do we see maybe bigger jumps in development? Do we see uh the game slow down for Justin in any sort of way? Whether that be in the passing game, whether that be just overall processing, whether it be getting to the line and rattling off plays, understanding the offense. This is a new offense for Justin. Um, and I also think, you know, there there’s going to be some speed bumps along the way for Tanner Rank. is not going to be putting together A+ game plan week after week after week, calling, you know, these excellent A+ games week after week after week as a firsttime rookie offensive coordinator in the NFL. So, I do think there needs to be a chemistry there between those two. But, it seems like between the three guys right now, Tanner Instrand, uh, quarterback coach Charles London and Fields, all three have a really good vibe with each other right now. There’s a big big emphasis on the GoPro camera and how that is just changing the game. I I don’t want to, you know, sound overdramatic here. It’s just a camera on on the you know helmet, but Tanner Ring has really dove into the details, right? It has a microphone so he can see exactly what Fields is seeing. He could see how Fields is calling the play or I guess hear how Fields is calling the play. U checked at the line. Everything is shown through Field’s eyes. That way, Tanner has a better understanding of what he’s seeing, why he’s doing what, uh, when it comes to day-to-day practices. And we’ve heard guys like London and Fields talk about how beneficial it is, you know, just like how this could be a game changer and how Fields hasn’t done this before in the past. So, you know, I I know it kind of sounds funny here, you know, a GoPro camera who anyone we could all just go out go out to the store and get one right now, but that could be the key to unlocking Justin Field’s development into a better quarterback, into a potential franchise quarterback. Um, you know, again, like I think if you say that to someone on the street, they’re like, you know what? But it’s working right now. It’s working. And if it’s a tool in your toolbox to potentially get you better, use it. And last but not least, I’m curious to see if the rookies develop. Aaron Glenn has talked a lot about allowing young players to play. We saw that in Detroit. He doesn’t really like to clog the lanes for these young players by signing like a cheap one-year vet and plugging them in and kind of blocking that pathway for a potential starter. And we are obviously have a lot a ton of young players, whether it be rookies or secondyear guys. But specifically when I’m looking at the rookies, there’s a lot of responsibility here. You know, between the first five picks, I mean, Arman Meu is going to be the starting right tackle. Mason Taylor is going to be the starting tight end. Aari Thomas could be the first corner off the bench. Malachi Moore could be the potential starting strong safety. Aren Smith is going to be the primary deep threat. That’s five players here who could potentially see big-time minutes and be impactful pieces for better or for worse in this upcoming season. So, if we’re getting reports that Meu looks worse in week two of preeason than he did at the start of camp, that’s going to be concerning. If we start seeing weird reports or hearing stuff about Mason Taylor having a drop problem, that would be concerning. But on the flip side, if we’re getting reports about positive stuff, Mason Taylor’s, you know, consistently getting open, he’s consistently beating linebackers and safeties. Um, Meu is holding his own against Will McDonald. He’s holding his own against these different, you know, a different skill set of edge rushers, a Rashad Weaver, a um take your pick, Michael Clemens, McGregor, right? Like he’s out there, he looks like a pro, he’s on par with Olu. Like that’s the stuff I’m really excited to hear, right? How is Maaga picking up the the defensive playbook as a defense that wants to run or put a lot of responsibilities on the linebacker position? Is he stepping up to the plate in that regard? you know, does Tyler Baron look the part as a potential rotational edge rusher? Malachi Moore, is his defensive IQ on display? Is he always around the football? Just small little storylines like that I’m I’m uh pretty interested in. So, anyway, let me know your thoughts down below in the comments section. Thanks so much for watching. I appreciate you guys. Let’s freaking go, man. Jets football’s back. And as always, go Jets. [Music] [Music]
