Thanks DWH...great points, positive (Dead Cap) and negative (safety sit')

Perhaps Ashtyn Davis' "missed tackle" number is satisfactory b/c you have to get to the ball carrier in order to miss a tackle! His angle of pursuit is incredibly bad. This is one of the most fundamental skills taught at any level (cones set up perpendicular to the line of scrimmage type drills). For most players it's aggravating to do the drills b/c it is so rudimentary, apparently Davis needs more!

Thanks David ! I guess after following them so many years not seeing anything he’s trying to build or the philosophy. Right now it’s all “on paper” and what the so called experts “think” he’s doing. Those same experts pick the Jets to come in anywhere from 28th to 32nd. He has proven absolutely nothing. Im sick and tired of being 0-5 and the stadium filled with the other teams fans. Personally they don’t win at least 8 or more he needs to go. We know we have a idiot owner so if he listens to all the kudos the guy gets for doing nothing then he’ll stay for 6 more wins over the next 2 years. This time I’m finally dropping my season tickets.

Glad he managed the books but can he win more then 6 games in 2 years ? If he doesnt get to 8-9-10 this year he has to go ! This guys gets more credit for doing nothing. In my 53 years following the jets i have never seen anything like it. He simple has not built a winner but evenyone "thinks' he has - i dont get it

I think he gets some leeway because you can see the philosophy and you can at least see what he's trying to build. Also think the roster he inherited and the coach he inherited were barely NFL standard. You're absolutely right though, he has to start winning and that expectation starts this year.

Great points! I love how we got out of the habit of giving out bad contracts. In JD we trust!

Enjoy your vacation David! We all enjoy your breakdowns but we got a big year ahead of us so get some rest!

(and when you get back, you need a better editor! Your articles are too good to be derailed by little typos. I'm available! langston.norman@gmail.com Shameless plug! *Namath shrug* Haha!

You're a dedicated writer David! Even on vacation and you can't stop thinking about the Jets! Enjoy your last day! Thank you for the article. Although the safety unit may be the weakest link I think we'll be okay there especially keeping Will Parks on the PS. The only dead money bad deal I see in for the new old OT Duane Brown. There is a lot of dead money laid out into the future as per overthecap. 1.5 million in dead cap for 2024, 2025, 2026. That was great negotiating by Brown's agent.
