Ugh. All helmet stickers are not created equal and this week should exemplify that. The Jets were borderline unwatchable this week playing against an awful Bucs team that was without its starting quarterback and best offensive player. Without Evans, the only players really worth watching on the Bucs are Gerald McCoy and Lavonte David. If you watched the game, you might actually think they’re the only ones you did watch. Anyway, let’s get started:
Bronze Star: LB Demario Davis (7 tackles)
He played Sunday. That is more or less what it took to get star #3 this week. For the most part, he did his job well enough. He did give up a bad touchdown in coverage after biting on a run fake near the end zone. In a week like this one, apparently that still gets you a star.
Silver Star: CB Darryl Roberts (8 tackles, 1 INT)
Usually having 8 tackles as a corner is a really bad sign, but Roberts played a pretty good game. While his INT wasn't exactly incredible, and let's remember we were up against Fitzpatrick, it should have pulled the Jets back from what could have been the point of no return. It didn't, though.
Gold: DL Leonard Williams (2 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 forced fumble)
This probably wasn't even Leonard Williams' best game this year, but it certainly wasn't anyone else's either. He did finally register his first full sack in a game this season, so that's nice. He provided good pressure and dealt with a lot of double teams, so he did a pretty good job considering the circumstances. That's better than anyone else can say this week.
So there you go. After ten weeks, the point totals are as follows:
