The 2008-10 NY Jets OL: How good were they, really?

2 days ago | jetsxfactor.com | Michael Nania

The 2009-10 New York Jets represent the best two-year run in the franchise’s history. Not only is it the only time New York has ever won a playoff game in back-to-back seasons, but they won four of them, making up one-third of the franchise’s 12 all-time playoff victories. They also went 20-12 in the regular season while outscoring their opponents by 175 points.
How NY Jets offense can scheme around 2 gaping roster holes

The New York Jets’ roster is not built to win a championship just yet – and they know it. New York’s new regime actively pursued young, affordable players in its first offseason at the helm, steering clear of splashy moves. Darren Mougey and Aaron Glenn did everything they could to distance themselves from the win-now moves of the Aaron Rodgers era. Their focus was to preserve the franchise’s long-term flexibility, setting the foundation of something that could last.
What Aaron Rodgers despised about the NY Jets' run game

Less than two weeks after taking the high road at his first Pittsburgh Steelers practice, Aaron Rodgers is back to taking shots at the New York Jets. According to former NFL offensive lineman Mark Schlereth, Rodgers went on a lengthy rant about how the Jets’ run game “made no sense.”“Aaron and I had a conversation about when he was with the Jets, how abysmal their running game was and how schematically it made no sense,” Schlereth said on the Stinkin’ Truth Podcast.
Making sense of the NY Jets position battle featuring Joe Tippmann

5 days ago | jetsxfactor.com | Nick Faria

Most of the New York Jets’ offensive starting positions have already been decided. Following the completion of offseason workouts, the Jets have a pretty good idea of what they have on that side of the ball. While specific position battles are inevitable, New York has plenty to work with on offense. It’s why the team’s most intriguing camp battle is also their most confusing.
Aaron Rodgers plays blame game over failed New York Jets tenure

5 days ago | jetsxfactor.com | Nick Faria

Aaron Rodgers is at it again. The former starting quarterback of the New York Jets can’t seem to shut up about his time in New Jersey and what really caused the team’s downfall during that period. As the Jets struggled to win just six games in Rodgers’ time in New York, the future Hall-of-Fame signal-caller told anyone who would listen about everything the team struggled with. While he would add himself to the reasoning, it would usually be done after talking about the mistakes others made.

At last, the New York Jets have a kicker worth writing home about. And not just because of his nickname. Coming off a season in which Greg Zuerlein cost them multiple games, it was bizarre to see the Jets ride into mid-June with their only kickers being Caden Davis and Anders Carlson. It was a recipe for disaster if they stuck with it. Davis is an undrafted rookie who made under 77% of his field goal attempts in college, including just 44% from 50+ yards.
The Dazzling Year 3 of Ceiling of NY Jets' Will McDonald

1 week ago | jetsxfactor.com | Michael Nania

Will McDonald put together the Year 2 pass-rush breakout that New York Jets fans hoped for. After posting three sacks on minimal reps in his rookie year, McDonald translated that production to a much larger role in 2024. With his defensive snap count skyrocketing from 184 to 758, McDonald posted 10.5 sacks. Even with a 7.5-sack jump in his second year, the Iowa State product still has plenty of untapped potential waiting to be unlocked.
NY Jets film review: Will Stone Smartt make the roster?

1 week ago | jetsxfactor.com | Joe Blewett

The New York Jets’ tight end room is wide open. The presumptive starter is a second-round rookie, Mason Taylor. One of the top candidates to win the TE2 role is a fourth-year player who has yet to score an NFL touchdown, Jeremy Ruckert. Even a fullback could end up being the Jets’ quasi-TE2. That leaves a golden opportunity for a 26-year-old player who was starting at quarterback as recently as his third college season: Stone Smartt.
Who is more important to NFL teams: kickers or punters?

1 week ago | jetsxfactor.com | Michael Nania

Kicker or punter: Which position is more important in the NFL? Most people would not hesitate to answer with the former. In fact, nearly 87% of voters sided with kickers in this poll I published on X. Which do you think is more important/valuable? — Michael Nania (@Michael_Nania) June 14, 2025It seems like an obvious choice, right? So many NFL games are decided at the final buzzer by a kicker’s right leg. Meanwhile, punters are typically an afterthought in the outcome of a game.
The New York Jets' Real TE2 Probably Isn't Who You Think

1 week ago | jetsxfactor.com | Joe Blewett

Tight end was one of the New York Jets’ primary weaknesses entering the 2025 offseason. To the surprise of many, first-year general manager Darren Mougey ignored the need in free agency. However, he addressed it in a big way during the NFL draft, selecting LSU’s Mason Taylor in the second round. Taylor projects as the Jets’ starting tight end on Day 1. His receiving skills are NFL-ready.
