NFL reporter for
@SNYtv
covering Jets & Giants. Basically, I watch football, then write & talk about it || Cancel ‘iron sharpens iron’ || Big fan of my dog
This is great:
#Jets
LB Quincy Williams says his grandmother was in attendance today. The last time she came to a game both he & Quinnen had sacks.
Today they both had turnovers — Quincy a fumble recovery & Quinnen an INT.
“We’ve got to get her to some more games!”
The
#Jets
defense did this to Josh Allen, arguably the NFL's best quarterback
18 of 34 (52.9%) for 205 yards, 0 TDs, 2 INTs and a QB rating of 46.8.
Forget top-five.
This might be the NFL's best defense.
Amazing.
So they just did a scoreboard proposal here at Hard Rock. However, when they cut away from this graphic to where the two are supposed to be sitting, the guy wasn’t there!
Just the girl, sitting there, hand over mouth!
Dude must have been in the concession line lol
Let the current state of the
#Jets
sink in:
They
1) Allowed Maccagnan to pick the head coach
2) Allowed Maccagnan to spend all their money in free agency
3) Allowed Maccagnan to run their draft
Now they’ve … fired Maccagnan
That’s incompetence like I’ve never seen before
Sources:
#Jets
believe they’ve avoided worst-case scenario with Zach Wilson’s knee. Genuine belief it’s not season-ending. MRI to confirm their feelings. The hope is that they are looking at weeks, not year. That is feeling as l leaving Philly.
Again: MRI final confirmation
“I think you have to take into account it's windy as hell out there too, guys,” Zach Wilson said after the
#Jets
loss.
Noodle-armed Mac Jones, with far less talent around him, completed 23 of 27 passes (85.2 percent) for 246 yards in the same conditions.
#Jets
QB Aaron Rodgers comments for first time since his injury with a post on Instagram: “The night is darkest before the dawn. And I shall rise again.”
Zach Wilson with a gorgeous touchdown. A 70-yard touchdown to Elijah Moore that easily traveled 50-plus in air. His best throw of summer. Not close.
Moore beat Reed.
#Jets
You can easily spot a lazy reporter, like
@Connor_J_Hughes
when they say "Russell Wilson isn't good at football anymore".
Maybe he has been hugging it up with Hackett a bit too much.
#Jets
DE John Franklin-Myers, speaking to media for first time since signing his extension, breaks down into tears when asked about his son. Says he does everything & plays for him
#Jets
CB Sauce Gardner said he was looking forward to this game after all the hype
#Giants
fans on Twitter gave an incomplete pass in preseason to Jalin Hyatt — treated it like a “super bowl winning play,” he said.
Gardner: “How many passing yards they have?”
-9
“It’s calm…
This was one of the best wins I've seen from the
#Jets
in recent memory. Maybe the best.
Adversity — understatement. They took it on the chin, came back, and took down one of the AFC's best without the player they built their team around.
Robert Saleh & these players deserve…
BREAKING: Sure sounds like
#Jets
QB Aaron Rodgers will PLAY in 2024.
"Give me the doubts. Give me the timetable. Give me all the things you think can/should/will happen. All I need is that one little extra percent of inspiration.
"Then watch what I do."
QB doesn't plan on…
Cameras just showed Zach Wilson on sideline. Looked like he was mouthing “it’s my fault.”
Thomas Morstead first, then a number of teammates surrounded him.
That shows immense personal growth from Wilson. Immense. Team behind him, too
#Jets
Duane Brown had options outside of the
#Jets
— contending teams. He picked New York knowing playoffs might be long shot. Says a lot about culture Robert Saleh is building. Brown wanted to come to New York.
I still can’t believe Brian Daboll threw out his third stringers and out-coached the best team in the NFC. The fact that game was one possession solidifies Daboll’s status as Coach of the Year.
What a hire he’s been for the
#Giants
.
From my understanding on
#Jets
& Aaron Rodgers: Everything that needs to be done is essentially done in regards to a trade. Sides have worked out what needs to be worked out.
So if Rodgers wants to be a Jet, he will be a Jet.
Broken record, but … just waiting on him to decide
#Jets
RB Michael Carter said he believes that Dalvin Cook is a great player. What he appreciated was Robert Saleh calling him before the signing — noted he didn’t have to do that.
As for his role with the team: “I don’t worry about shit.”
Said if he’s worried about that, he’s…

#Jets
interest in Odell Beckham Jr. described to me as “very real.”
He and Aaron Rodgers are close and have discussed playing together in New York. Basically, Rodgers wants OBJ.
With Elijah Moore gone .. opening is there.
I once covered a
#Jets
offense that was led by Jermaine Kearse, Deontay Burnett, and the corpse of Matt Forte.
Now?
Corey Davis, Elijah Moore, Garrett Wilson, Michael Carter, Breece Hall, C.J. Uzomah, Tyler Conklin.
What a difference a Joe Douglas makes.
I’ll say this about the
#Jets
: Never have I been more certain they have the right head coach & GM. Robert Saleh & Joe Douglas are what this team has needed.
The
#Jets
just traded a disgruntled safety for two first-round picks, a third-round pick, and a safety who had 70 tackles, half a sack, and two interceptions last season.
Joe Douglas, ladies & gentleman.
#Jets
WR Allen Lazard said that Zach Wilson addressed the team after the game. Apologized to them & took blame for the loss.
Saleh talked, as coaches always do, then Wilson stood up.
Wow.
The
#Jets
announce they have hired Kevin Carter as their OL coach & run game coordinator.
This cannot be overlooked.
Carter had four teams in on him. He picked the Jets.
Joe Douglas signing these players is big.
Joe Douglas getting them with the budget he had to work with is pretty amazing.
Don’t think
#Jets
fans truly appreciate the GM as they should.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
I have seen the replay two additional times and I am changing my stance: The Sauce Gardner holding call was a brutal one in that spot. Brutal.
Zach Wilson said he talked to Aaron Rodgers at halftime and after the game. Rodgers was giving him pointers on what he liked from Wilson, and also mistakes he made and where he can do better.
Pretty cool
#Jets
Some personal news …
As I said,
#Jets
fans, I’m not going far.
#Giants
fans, I look forward to providing you the same quality coverage those across town have come to expect from me.
Beyond excited to be joining
@SNYtv
to cover the NFL.
BREAKING: Aaron Rodgers, on the
@PatMcAfeeShow
, says he WANTS to play for the
#Jets
.
Now the trade need to gets finalized.
To paraphrase the greatest show of our generation: Bring it on home, Joe D.
Never in a million years would I have thought there was a way for the
#Jets
to come out of this draft with Sauce Gardner, Garrett Wilson and Jermaine Johnson.
Not just three first-round picks. Those are three top-10 talents.
And the
#Jets
still have No. 38.
The
#Jets
new three-wide sets: Garrett Wilson, Elijah Moore, Corey Davis
Their new nickel defense: D.J. Reed, Michael Carter, Sauce Gardner.
That’s improvement.
Great live sequence here inadvertently captured by NBC cameras.
Hackett makes a play call, Rodgers obviously disagrees with it, Jets stopped on 3rd and short.
I really don’t understand why people hate on Sauce Gardner. He’s one of the most likable players I’ve ever covered. Deserving of every accolade that’s come his way because of on-field play, but who he is why you pull for him. Makes no sense to me why some dislike him
This Zach Wilson can take the
#Jets
to the playoffs.
Have never seen him play like this before. If this is sign of things to come, Jets were right, he’s turned a corner & that’s massive for this team.
Zach Wilson looks better than Trevor Lawrence, by the way.
And Zach Wilson is doing it without
- His top three receivers
- His starting LT, LG, RG
- His head coach.
Zach Wilson is 8 for 8 passing today. Has a touchdown to Conklin and two-point conversion to Moore.
Best I’ve seen Wilson perform this summer. Making everything look easy.
#Jets
Idea the
#Packers
have all the leverage is ridiculous. The idea the
#Jets
have all the leverage is ridiculous. Truth: No one has leverage.
- NYJ only option at QB: Rodgers
- GB only option with Rodgers: Trade him to Jets.
This is dragging on for sake of dragging on. Silly.

Big news:

DL Quinnen Williams WILL play tonight vs the
#Jaguars
, sources tell
@SNYtv
Williams has team-high 11 sacks this year. Was just voted to Pro Bowl.
RB Zonovan Knight also good to go.
Was told a few months ago that Aaron Rodgers’ reworked contract would make him a “folk hero” amongst
#Jets
fans once deal became official, which was reported at time.
Not even I saw $35m less coming. Folk hero underselling it.
