New York Jets Flight Connections 5/9/22

Good morning, Gang Green Nation. I hope you’re all having a great start to the day. Shout out to Mr. Wells for holding down the fort over the weekend as always. With the Jets investing so much capital at cornerback this offseason - something we all expected would happen - it kind of shut off the narrative of that position not being important to Robert Saleh’s system. Saleh reiterated that when speaking to the media, and frankly, I have to agree with him. That said, in any system, if the edge defenders do their jobs it doesn’t matter too much who your cornerbacks are. Given the Jets defense this year, I’m very interested to see how the two positions affect one another in the grand scheme of things. As in, if the edge defenders are able to get pressure in time to help the cornerbacks, and if the cornerbacks are able to cover wide receivers adequately if that doesn’t happen. It’ll be interesting to see. With that, here are your links to the team to start your morning.
