New York Jets Tweets of the Week: Volume 5

By Half Serious
Jim Rogash

First of all, I would like to say thanks to John B for giving me writers access. I've been reading this site going on five years now, so it's really cool to actually be able to contribute to it like this now.

Anyways, since we played two games there were more tweets this week then usual. In order to conserve bandwidth, I had to put all the quotes in blockquote format and delete the random tweets section. Tell me if it's still too hard to load and I'll try to trim it down some more. It's hard for me to tell since my computer is already kind of slow.

Jets-Bucs Post Game Analysis

Mayock: Yesterday morning, I said Geno wasn't ready for prime time and he proved me wrong. #NYJ

— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 9, 2013

Mayock: Thought Geno was too raw and not ready to play against a live NFL defense in a regular season game...

— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 9, 2013

Mayock: Thought Mornhinweg protected Geno with the way he called the game yesterday against a good defense...

Mayock: As game progressed, Geno got more comfortable. Was very impressed with his 2nd half performance...

— Chris Lopresti (@CLoprestiWFAN) September 9, 2013

Mayock: Geno had 5 effective scrambles yesterday. Wants to see him continue to use his legs rather than sit in the pocket for too long.
