New York Jets Flight Connections 8/25/19

Good morning, GGN! The third Jets preseason game of 2019 against the New Orleans Saints was ... not encouraging. The third preseason game is supposed to give you some semblance of a glimpse at how the team will stack up in the regular season. If this game was any indication, the Jets have work to do. Of course we probably already knew that. The usual suspects were rounded up in this game, as struggles in the secondary, offensive line and edge rusher reared their ugly heads. Time for Joe Douglas to work a little GM magic and find a hidden gem or three on the upcoming trade market or waiver wire.
