Game Plays 6 in-game updates such as touchdowns, sacks and drives
- I know Jets fans are angry right now — but it should be said that this year’s rookie class is panning out already in a really fun way. David Bailey: 5.5 sacks, 9 QB hits, 3 forced fumbles in seven games Kenyon Sadiq: 2 TDs, 100-yard game, talented enough that fans are already mad he’s not getting the ball more Omar Cooper: Back to back 100-yard/TD games. Looks like the real deal. Darrell Jackson: Already looking like a good find on Day 3. Should play more depending on how long Sweat is out. D’Angelo Ponds is going to see his role increase. He’s learning nickel on the job so expect some bumps — but the talent is there if he can figure out a new position on the fly.
- The Dolphins scored a 63-yard touchdown on this play. Poor tackling effort by Minkah Fitzpatrick ... and Demario Davis and David Bailey lightly bumped into each other and stopped running.
- Jets' front four pass rush has been disappointing. Here's how they rank in pressure pct (via @NextGenStats): EDGE (out of 79 players with min. 50 pass rushes) 14. David Bailey - 18.5% 35.

- While Off to a Good Start, Jets Rookie Edge David Bailey Eyes Improvement
- Lots of discussion lately about David Bailey and his lack of disruptive plays. I asked DL coach Karl Dunbar about the rookie: "I think he's on par for what we're trying to ask him to do. I think he does a great job of getting to the passer. These last couple of weeks, you wouldn't think you'd have tight ends and running backs chipping the rookie, but he's getting that work. "(We're) trying to let him understand how he has to work with other guys and just can't be trying to beat everybody by himself. It's a four-man rush. It's not a one-man rush, a two-man rush. "We have to rush as a group because these teams we've been playing against lately have a lot of good weapons with wide receivers and tight ends, and we have to drop in coverage and we have to do a better job of affecting the quarterback with four. But I think he's on par." #Jets
