New York Jets Flight Connections 8/16/19

Good morning, Gang Green Nation! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. The Jets managed to get their first win of the Pre-Season yesterday, defeating the Atlanta Falcons 22-10. The Jets sealed the deal with an interception returned to the house against former Jets’ QB Matt Simms. The team managed to stay mostly injury free, as LB Avery Williamson got nicked up—but should be fine. Sam Darnold and company looked good for a second straight Pre-Season game, and the Jets’ front seven managed to pressure the opposing quarterbacks all night. Everything else was subpar, and the biggest takeaway is the obvious one: the team needs competent cornerbacks. Since we have a high waiver priority, it would probably be a good idea to try and acquire some cast-offs once cuts get down to the wire. Or, maybe we’ll get lucky and the team holds up during the regular season. With that, here are your links to start your weekend off right.
