Locked on Jets 11/17/17 Episode 290: Four Tweaks at the Bye

Locked on Jets 11/19/17 Episode 291: Five Questions After the Bye: Normally our Monday podcasts are spent breaking down the game the Jets just played. That is not the case this week since the Jets did not play on Sunday. They had their bye week so we spent it watching the rest of the NFL. The Jets will come out of Week 10 only one game out of the final Playoff spot in the AFC. It is difficult to believe both due to the low expectations the team had at the start of the year and the poor recent play by the Jets. There isn't much clear about the home stretch. On today's show we take a look at five key questions for the team that will be answered during the final six weeks of the 2017 season. Many of these questions are important both for the short term and long term health of the team. They will determine both whether the Jets can compete for a Playoff spot and personnel moves the team may make during the upcoming offseason. Some players might prove themselves worth or not worth keeping b by Locked On Jets - Daily Podcast On The New York Jets

Locked on Jets 11/29/17 Episode 298: Need or Not?: The Jets are heading into the home stretch of the 2017 season. After a surprising start, the team has fallen back to earth. While they remain mathematically alive, it now looks as though a Playoff berth will be difficult to attain. There are probably too many teams to jump and too little time to do it. While we will continue to hope for the best, it might make sense to focus on the future. On today's podcast, we look at what some areas of the team can tell us about the future. There are four spots on the roster that could be big needs by the end of the season or might not be so big. That will be determined in part by the way certain players perform over the last five weeks. Can the Jets trust those players? Who are these players? We talk about it on today's show.

Locked on Jets 8/10/18 Episode 445: What to Watch for in the Preseason Opener vs. Atlanta: The preseason opener is finally here. Tonight the Jets kick off a game for the first time since the 2017 season ended. No, it isn't a real game. Those don't come for another month. With that said, it still is (sort of) football and another step closer to the start of the season. On today's podcast we preview the game. Preseason previews are a bit different than regular season previews. The objective isn't really to win the game. It is more to evaluate. With that in mind, it doesn't seem worth it to give a scouting report on the other team or discuss key matchups. Our focus is going to be on the performances of individual Jets players. On the show I offer five groups of players to watch against Atlanta, the quarterbacks, the position battles, the players having strong camps, the enigmas, and the disappointments.

Locked on Jets 10/31/17 Episode 277: Midseason Review: The NFL season moves very quickly. By the time you reach the midway point of a season, it can feel like almost no time has passed since Week 1. The Jets are at the midway point of the 2017 season. They have completed eight games from their sixteen game schedule. On today's podcast, let's look back at the first half. I have some reflections and awards to give out for the Jets. I also look forward a bit on what might be coming in the second half of the season. Additionally, today is the NFL trade deadline. Some big deals were made on Monday.. The biggest one might have involved a division rival as the Patriots sent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to San Francisco for a second round pick. I have a few thoughts on the deal along with the approach the Jets should take at the deadline in general. Learn more about your ad choices.

This makes today our final Thursday mailbag podcast of the season (although we certainly will have more mailbag podcasts in the offseason). Today we look at which quarterbacks could interest the Jets in free agency, whether the triple option could be viable as an NFL system, how many players the Jets need before they could be considered a viable contender for the Playoffs, the most overrated player on the team, the most underrated player on the team, the most overrated team in the league, whether the Jets need a new defensive coordinator and whether fans should trust the evaluation skills of the coaching staff, Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 11/15/17 Episode 288: Four Players; Four Questions: The Jets are in the middle of their bye week right now. The team is 4-6 and has the week off to rest and prepare for the stretch run. The team is still in the Playoff race, but there is not much margin for error over the final six games of the season. The Jets might need to win all six to make the postseason. At the very least, five out of six is likely essential. That seems unlikely, but there are things to consider aside from the immediate future. The Jets also have an eye to 2018 and beyond. With that in mind, today the podcast takes a look at four players with question marks heading into the end of the season. These players have all provided reasons for both optimism and concern during the first ten games of the season. All four carry different questions. Learn more about your ad choices.

Jets Players Who Need to Perform in Training Camp 7/22/20: At this point in time players are scheduled to report to training camp by early next week. For many players, training camp is not a big deal. Established stars have nothing riding on summer practices. There are some players who have quite a bit on the line in training camp, however. Some of these players are looking to take the next step. Others are competing for a roster spot or playing time. Still others are looking to prove that they can still play effectively. On today’s podcast we discuss the players who have a lot on the line in training camp for the Jets this season. With a reduced or completely cancelled preseason, the chance to attract the attention of coaches will come on the practice field this summer. Who needs to succeed in camp?

Locked on Jets 12/1/17 Episode 300: Jets-Chiefs Preview: It is difficult to believe that we are now in the final month of the season. The NFL season just flies. It doesn't feel long ago that the Jets were kicking off with the Buffalo Bills to get 2017 underway. Now we are in December. In the home stretch of the season, the Jets have a date with the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday at MetLife Stadium. On today's podcast we preview the game. The Jets enter this game struggling, but so do the Chiefs. Through the first month plus of the NFL season, Kansas City looked like the top team in the NFL. Things have changed quite a bit. Like the Jets, the Chiefs have lost five of their six games. That includes a brutal loss to the Giants in their last trip to MetLife Stadium two weeks ago. On today's show, we find a key player, a key matchup, and a key to victory on both sides of the ball for the Jets this week. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets Episode 632: Questions for Defense: The offseason continues for the Jets. Late last week the team began an orientation for the rookies. Rather than the typical on field instruction most teams hold for their Draft picks, undrafted free agents, and assorted young players the team held a classroom session. The veteran players continue to take part in the team's offseason program. Meanwhile, the fans are waiting for the season. They dream of every player reaching his ceiling. On a podcast episode last week we discussed some of the big questions key players on the offense will have to answer for the Jets. Today we turn our attention to the defense. If players from that side of the ball will hit their ceilings in 2019, what will they need to do? Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 12/20/17 Episode 313: Looking Forward to Needs: Only two weeks remain in the 2017 season for the New York Jets. As you know by now, there will be no postseason for this team for a seventh consecutive season. While the team will look to put wins on the board to improve its final record, the Jets will have a losing record for the second straight season, the third time in four seasons, and the fourth time in six seasons. Clearly a lot needs to be fixed. While this team is probably more than one offseason away from eliminating all of its problems, it is not too early to start looking. Our friend Michael from Gang Green Nation joins our show once again for a discussion of Jets needs heading into the offseason. The biggest needs seem to fall at the premium positions. This team really doesn't have much at the most important positions on the field, even if you get past the obvious need at quarterback.

Locked on Jets 8/28/18 Episode 457: Players Who Need to Step Up: We are almost at the end of the preseason. That is exciting since it means the regular season is right around the corner, and we will soon get to watch real football. One preseason game remains. The Jets take on the Eagles on Thursday night in a game unlikely to see any starters take the field for either side. This final preseason game is usually viewed as the least important for that reason. The game does have importance for some players, however. There are still roster spots to be determined. The Jets will need to cut their roster down from 90 players to 53 on Saturday afternoon. This preseason finale will be one final chance for bubble players to show the Jets that they deserve a spot. On today's podcast we look at some players who could use a good final preseason game. For the most part, these are guys who have had a quiet training camp and/or have stood out in a negative way.

Locked on Jets 11/6/17 Episode 281: Scattered Thoughts After a Sunday Without the Jets: Week 9 of the NFL season was the rare football Sunday without the Jets. It was the best kind of weekend. The Jets notched a win early so everybody got to enjoy a stress-free weekend of football watching. Hopefully you enjoyed Week 9. Without a game to break down on this Monday, we turn our attention on the podcast elsewhere. On today's show we provide some scattered thoughts on the Jets and the NFL. The Jets quietly entered what could be an important period of their season. Few are talking about it, but this stretch is a bit of a gift from the schedule makers. Speaking of schedule makers, it is important to avoid absolute statements about games weeks ahead of time. The difficulty of those games can change rapidly. In these upcoming games, the performance of certain players will be worth watching both for how it will impact the team on the field and how it may impact the Jets' contract offers.

Lessons the New York Jets Can Learn From the Teams Who Played in the Conference Championship Games 1/31/22: Super Bowl LVI is set. The Cincinnati Bengals will face the Los Angeles Rams a week from Sunday in Los Angeles. Championship Sunday offered us a pair of excellent games. There are plenty of lessons a team like the Jets can take from the four teams that got the chance to play yesterday. On today’s podcast John discusses some of the things he learned from these teams. There are no shortcuts to success in the NFL, but there are some things to keep in mind.

Today we kick things off with the top five reasons I have to be optimistic about the Jets in 2019.

If the Jets are going to have a big year, we will discuss the reasons why on today's show.

Locked on Jets 2/11/19 Episode 568: How I Would Build a Rival League to the NFL: The Alliance of American Football kicked off over the weekend. The results were a mixed bag. Saturday's opener produced generally favorable reviews. Sunday was a different story as the biggest development seemed to be the struggles of former Jets second round Draft pick Christian Hackenberg. Can the AAF survive over the long haul? I think it will be difficult. I think it is good for the sport for another football league to exist. There are parts of the league's model that I think are promising. Ultimately I think there are other flaws in the league's model which will make things really tough to sustain. The AAF got me thinking about how I would build a league to rival the NFL, and that is the topic of today's podcast. I offer some thoughts about what I would do based on what I've learned about sports business and the history of rival leagues. Learn more about your ad choices.

Locked on Jets 6/14/19 Episode 655: Reflections on the Year That Was: This is the final week of five daily podcasts until the start of training camp. There will still be shows between now and then, but we will move to a summer schedule. In many ways the podcast year begins with the start of training camp and ends now, around the time the offseason program ends. What follows is the quietest time on the NFL calendar. It has been a very trying year in many ways for the Jets. Training camp started with a holdout of the new franchise quarterback. While the team showed signs of life early in the 2018 season, things got ugly very quickly. The team fell apart, and the coaching staff was fired. A somewhat erratic offseason followed. Then the Jets hired Joe Douglas as their general manager, and things seem much brighter. What you will hear on today's show are some personal reflections on the year that was.

Locked on Jets 5/1/19 Episode 624: Taking Stock of the Offense After the Draft: With the NFL Draft over, we now know what the Jets' roster will look like in 2019. There were still be some under the radar signings to fill out the preseason roster. There might even be a late trade or signing of a surprise cut from another team. But we are past the point where the team can reasonably expect to bring in a new player of significance. The team we see today is probably going to be the team we see on the field Sundays this autumn. On today's podcast we take stock of what the Jets have on the offensive side of the football. This is something we do periodically over the course of the offseason. Now that the offseason is complete, we can take one final look at areas of strength and weakness.

This is the only six week stretch of the year where nothing is going on. At other points of the year we have training camp, preseason, games, the Draft, free agency, or the offseason program to discuss. Right now we have none of those things. There is not much going on. There are a few things on the horizon to watch. On today's podcast we discuss the top five developments to monitor between now and training camp for the Jets. There might not be much daily excitement, but there still will be a few developments worth watching. On the show we discuss potential action on the waiver wire, a possible informal workout Sam Darnold could be putting together, getting the team's top pick signed before training camp, the staffing up of the front office, and a possible significant addition through either free agency or a trade.

Locked on Jets 4/6/18 Episode 386: Turning the 2016 Draft Class Around: It takes three years at a bare minimum to fully evaluate an NFL Draft class, but preliminary evaluations begin the second the players hit the field as rookies. The Jets' class of 2016 now has two seasons of NFL experience under its belt. I think by any measure it would have to be considered a disappointing class so far. Despite a solid day two pick and an undrafted free agent homerun, this class has not provided the quality, the depth, or the impact needed to help accelerate the rebuild. But time remains to turn things around. Again, two years is not enough time to give a class a final grade. The players the Jets selected can still improve. That is the focus of today's podcast. What is the ceiling each player has? How much can they improve? Do the disappointing players have the ability to be quality starters, or is a depth piece the best the Jets can hope to get?

Locked on Jets 5/7/19 Episode 628: Looking Ahead to Position Battles: With the Draft over and rosters mostly set, we can look forward to the 2019 NFL season. The Jets have made a number of big changes through free agency and the NFL Draft. Most of the important positions on this roster are already settled. While last year's training camp featured a wide open battle for the most important role, starting quarterback, this year's camp battles will be much lower profile. There still are unsettled roles on the roster that will be sorted out. On today's podcast we look ahead to these training camp battles and explore which jobs are up for grabs. The center position will likely be one of them, even though the options are less than inspiring. There also figures to be some competition at backup quarterback and a battle for the second tight end spot. On the defensive side of the ball, playing time at the premium positions of cornerback and edge rusher is up for grabs.
