Jets continuing to look for ways to improve frigid offense
The Jets are currently on a three-game winning streak. However, Gang Green’s offense has been stuck in the mud during the first seven games of the season. The Jets are averaging 273.3 yards per game, the 29th-best in the league. They’re also 26th in points per game (18). But despite the offensive numbers, the team is still finding ways to win games.
“I would say resiliency,” Jets quarterback Zach Wilson said. “Guys are fighting regardless of who’s in there. We’ve got some injuries, guys moving around, but just fighting all the way until the end. “I’d say we’re moving the ball, we’re just not producing on third downs, and that’s obviously where the fix needs to be. We’re showing that we can move the ball, we’re doing some good things, so it’s really just trying to be more well-balanced and find a way to get it done all the way around.”
Losing Aaron Rodgers four plays into the season has undoubtedly been catastrophic for Gang Green’s offense. But so have all the Jets’ recent injuries on the offensive line. Ten different players have started on the offensive line this year through seven games and more changes are coming to the unit.
On Thursday, the Jets started left tackle Duane Brown’s practice window. Brown has been on injured reserve since after the Jets’ loss at the Cowboys in Week 2. When a player is cleared to practice, it begins a 21-day window during which they must be activated to the 53-man roster or be placed on season-ending injured reserve at the end of the three weeks.
