2024 Draft Class: MIA

Edition #726

Good morning.

Can you remember the last time the Jets won the AFC East? You’re going to have to cycle back through those calendars all the way to 2002.

That year the Jets finished the season as Division champions with a 9-7 record and an AFC East Crown. They started that year 2-5 before reeling off a 7-2 record the rest of the way and making the playoffs.

That was a good AFC East division that year with all four teams finishing with a .500 record or better. It may be hopeful thinking, but I’m just not ready mentally to turn my attention to the off-season yet. I still have to believe that something is possible.

Will history repeat itself for the Jets? All signs point to no. But the cosmos has a weird way of repeating history.

Jeff Ulbrich believes that the Jets are pressing right now, which mirrors exactly what Robert Saleh said about players trying to do too much: "I think there's an element right now because of the high character of our locker room and this team, that there's a bit of pressing, a little bit to make things happen," Ulbrich said. "It's coming from the absolute best place on earth, guys wanting to do the best and provide the best for their teammates in this organization, this fan base, and we have all got to take a deep breath and just do our job and collectively. And that's not that I'm referring to Aaron, but everybody on this team, including coaches."
