He ran just 305 yards in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the injury eventually ravaged the Jets&#8217; O-line. Their most explosive running back, Brees Hall, and their best offensive lineman, Alijah Vera-Tucker, lost in Game 7 was killer. <\/p>\n<p>what&#8217;s next?<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p>Finding a capable quarterback to complement a defense that appears playoff ready is task one. You&#8217;ll hear and read a lot about Jimmy Garoppolo, David Carr, and maybe even Lamar Jackson this offseason. Fixing his line offensively (again) is his second closest thing on Douglas&#8217; agenda.<\/p>\n<p>As frustrating as the offense&#8217;s late-season skid may be, offensive coordinator Mike Lafleur is an easy target, and it&#8217;s understandable given the rotten offensive performance of the past six weeks.<\/p>\n<p>But sometimes it&#8217;s better to rely on some continuity. Especially if the team&#8217;s stated plans to continue developing quarterback Zach Wilson into a third season are true.<\/p>\n<p>Continuity is something Jets owner Woody Johnson has preached in the past as a way to run his franchise, but he&#8217;s also struggled to live up to that mantra because he&#8217;s allowed outside forces to influence him. I have.<\/p>\n<p>Is this really LaFleur&#8217;s fault, or is it the fact that the team hasn&#8217;t had a starting-caliber NFL quarterback in the last two years?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s hard to argue that the Jets aren&#8217;t in a better place than they were before they were hired two years ago with head coach Robert Saleh, so the idea that Saleh&#8217;s job is in jeopardy is silly.<\/p>\n<p>Times and circumstances are different, but remember when the Jets waived Pete Carroll after just one season (1994) when his team went from 6-5 to 6-10 in the playoffs? ?<\/p>\n<p>Of course, Carroll has gone on to have a pretty successful career, and what about his successor, Rich Cotite?<\/p>\n<p>Well, no need to get into that now, right?<\/p>\n<p>The point is, be careful what you want&#8230;or you might end up regretting it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiPWh0dHBzOi8vbnlwb3N0LmNvbS8yMDIzLzAxLzExL2pldHMtc2Vhc29uLWRvb21lZC1ieS13aGF0LWlmcy_SAUFodHRwczovL255cG9zdC5jb20vMjAyMy8wMS8xMS9qZXRzLXNlYXNvbi1kb29tZWQtYnktd2hhdC1pZnMvYW1wLw?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] Do you have any regrets?
