New York Jets Flight Connections 8/22/19

Good morning, GGN! I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. As we all know now Jets’ LB Brandon Copeland has been suspended 4 games for being caught taking PED’s. Jets’ RB Le’Veon Bell wants his teammates to start hitting him hard in practice since he won’t be playing in any preseason games. The only thought that comes to my mind hearing this is, ‘why not just play a couple snaps in a preseason game?’. Going back to the defense, DC Gregg Williams has been trying to get players to learn at least 2 positions. I think this is a smart move that should be utilized by more coaches, allowing multiple defenders to be ‘plug and plays’ in various positions (if need be) which can confuse opposing offenses and make for some productive plays. Outside of that there isn’t much going on in Jet-land, so with that, here are your links for the day.
