New York Jets fans couldn’t have asked for much more in a dominant week 1 win over the Tennessee Titans. Gang Green dominated in the trenches on both sides of the ball and came away with a 23-10 victory. Some of the key takeaways?
.- The offensive line absolutely dominated. Geno Smith was kept clean and didn’t get sacked once all day. And on the ground, Breece Hall topped 100 yards (22 carries for 102 yards) and found the end zone in the win. Backup running back Braelon Allen had 10 carries for 40 yards and had a long TD called back for a hold on center Josh Myers. Joe Tippmann and Dylan Parham had great starts to the season.
– Geno Smith took what the defense gave him, protected the football with no turnovers and get plenty of pass catchers involved. Ten different receivers were targeted with seven coming away with at least one catch.
– Special teamer Qwan’tez Stiggers was on fire. He made three big time plays on specials. On an early punt he drove a blocker back into the returner, allowing the punt to go untouched. He later picked up a fumble on kickoff before downing a punt inside the five yard line despite having to battle a blocker running down the field.
– AD Mitchell has his share of detractors and proved them wrong, at least for today. Mithcell had 3 targets for sixty yards with two of the grabs being anything but routine.
– Give the Jets secondary plenty of credit. They lost Minkah Fitzpatrick early on and Jarvis Brownlee for a chunk of time. Malachi Moore stepped in to play the slot with DeAngelo Ponds inactive on the day.
– The defense did a nice job of tackling, missing only three on the day according to pro football focus.
– It’s just one win and it comes against a very bad football team, but the Jets did what they were supposed to do and beat an inferior opponent. Packers up next at home.
