  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. Show all

  • Oct 19 Zack Rosenblatt (X) On D'Angelo Ponds: He was thrown in late in the game at nickel and struggled a little bit. But something to keep in mind... Ponds has played 25 nickel snaps in the NFL. He played 26 snaps in the nickel his entire college career. He was always an outside corner. He was supposed to spend the summer learning the position more — and then he got hurt and missed all of training camp. So bumps are to be expected. · Quoting Zack Rosenblatt: Something of note: Jarvis Brownlee didn't play another snap after the Hunter Henry TD where Henry was wide open.
