Guys! I am SO SORRY about how delayed this video is. I had a hugeee job interview pop up on Monday and then a second interview on Wednesday, so I was a under the pump. Your boy got it though! The content will be coming thick and fast still!
I had this game as the best of his career. Up to the point when the game was already lost so he had to play hero ball of course. I ask myself how good he would've looked with a competent offensive line.
Good day Luke. You are one of the most knowledgeable Jets content creators on CZcams. You back your opinions with film study and not emotions like some of the other Jets content creators. I also thought Zach did pretty well and showed plenty of growth considering what he was facing in the Dallas Defense. The same defense that made Daniel Jones look like a high school QB
@@PlayLikeAJetLove your work Luke. I just hope bad weather and Belichek aren’t factors for Zach’s play this weekend . We need to get over the hump of New England
@@salt27doggI hope Zach Wilson has his signature game this weekend. He's got the talent, just needs to put it all together. I'm not his biggest fan but I don't care, I want the jets win. Beating NE would not only feel great as a jets fan, I think it would mean even more for Wilson. Also I live in New England now, lol. J-E-T-S!
Anyone else think this Jets coaching staff is ruining Mekhi's career? The right side is not only not his natural side but he's publicly said that the right side puts extra stress on his surgically repaired knee. I get that this coaching staff is very loyal to Duane but playing Duane on the left and Mekhi on the right is having 1 bad edge and 1 okay edge when they can have 1 very good edge with Mekhi on the left....
I read an article or comment somewhere where a doctor apparently explained to Mekhi that he has less of a chance of having the same injury if he plays right side.
People see the stat-line and then make comments about how they thought the performance was. When I was watching the game it was so apparent it was a loss due to the line play both offense and defensive lines got thrashed. Hats off to Dallas though. They look like the team to beat.
@nitetrainjames3214 it not bout the points it's bout his basics him able to hit the check downs and in the flats. In not saying he had a perfect game but till the game plan he was suppose to manage the game. Let the defense and running game sustain us against the cowboys but the run game was non existence so they put him in a position where he had to try to start making big plays and taking which some did other not so much but to me his dropbacks and his body orientation when he throwing the ball as improved
I was surprised how well he played against such an elite defense until he had to try and play hero ball. Hopefully the run game will be there Sunday to take some pressure off him and Garrett.
This just goes to show, ALL the parts of a football team are important. You have have a great defense, great special teams, great receivers and even a decent QB, but if there if the Oline is weak, it's not gonna work.
I was screaming about this all off-season and the people were brushing it off talking about how Aaron Rodgers will compensate for it. Four snaps into the season for Douglas and the coaching staff and they get exposed. The line the way it is right now is nothing short of dereliction of duty.
@@XxProdigalSonXxabsolute clown post, the line is very good, it just got beat by Micah parsons, the best defensive player in the league. It happens. The unit is still top 15 in the nfl.
Thank you sir the media has been clowning this young man all week without really watching the game trying to continue the negative narrative..This week against the Pats he has to look for the little things and not try to be a hero hopefully we run the ball more to take that pressure off
Zach has improved. But I wouldn’t say he is an asset to the team yet and would still bring in a veteran at some point. His reactions in the passing game suggest to me that when he has to think - he is in trouble. Which means the game is still moving too fast. However , if he throws the ball away to avoid the sacks , hits the easy throws , and chooses to run when the opportunity presents itself (rather than wait for the big play) - he can be effective as he continues to adjust to game speed.
I get that Parsons is INCREDIBLE, but McGovern should be absolutely ashamed of himself for the rep at 8:15. How does a center possibly get beat that badly by ANYONE? Did he even make contact with him?
He is the freakiest athlete in the sport. Im going to be a little honest, I think that’s a scheme issue. About two C’s are touching him 1 v 1 on an island there. But I get what you’re saying
What an excellent, accurate and fair analysis. On the deep pick, Garrett Wilson said that wasn’t Zach fault. GW added that the pick that was to go to Michael Carter was not on Zach. Saleh too put that one on the route, not the throw. Lastly, if Becton could have half gigs block a fraction of a second longer, and Zach’s arm isn’t hit, that’s a TD to a wide open GW in the front left corner of the end zone. More 12 personnel please!!!
I agree, people just look at the box score. He was supposed to have two years behind Rodgers, he got 4 plays. He was thrown into the lions den the first game and came out with a win. Then he was tasked with beating arguably the best D-line with little help from coaches and the o-line. We know his history, but I’m not ready to trash him yet.
It really wasn’t fully his fault. The defense, as great as they can be, just didn’t show up. Lamb did whatever he wanted. I don’t know why Sauce didn’t check him the entire game. Zach just had to do too much basically all the time against a top level defense. Ugly game but it was not fully his fault. #Ganggreen
@@carlitosortiz2870every QB needs help. Mahomes and the Chiefs lost to the Lions because Mahomes can’t catch it for his WRs. Crappy OL play helps no one
You can see with his throws that he's also adopting a little of Rodgers' patented body twist that gives his release and rotation a smaller arc, making it harder for the defense to anticipte the exact direction of the throw. Rodgers throws one of the most beautiful balls in football, and Wilson seems to have that crispness developing in his throws too. He's always had a good arm, but there's a touch and feel to his throws. If the Jets give him some support, he'll do them proud.
Spot on as always. Only addition I would make is that the deep ball to GW that got picked was still a catchable ball, even if it wasn’t a frozen rope, but Garrett took his eyes off the ball and looked at Hooker. Go back and watch it in the slow mo from the broadcast. He takes his eyes off the ball and instead of high pointing it, he looks at Hooker for a second, then looks back at the ball and hooker is already jumping. That play happens Bang/Bang. GW was telling Zach to trust him all night and throw it deep, but the time we needed him to make the play on the ball, he got scared of the contact, got distracted and got out played. No hate, just facts. Sauce drops the pick 6. Breece has 4 Carries. NONE of the stars performed as they should, including coaching adjustments and gameplan, not to mention the DROPS lack of protection or ability to run the ball or defense inability to get off the field on 3rd down or TERRIBLE roughing penalties on huge 3rd downs that the NFL admitted was bad, and Dallas played to their ceiling. We didn’t even play to our floor. Was it a 100% ball from Zach like it could have been? No. Was it a 85-90% ball that GW needs to make the play on if he wants to be as great as he says he is? Abso freaking lutely. Zach Wilson can win games with this team, if the team plays to their ceiling and we can get a damn block from the line.
Key consideration is that the players know the real deal. Wilson knows when Wilson tosses him a good ball. As long as Wilson holds onto the locker room, we should be okay. That said, we have to establish the run to ease things up for Zak. By contrast, Dallas had a strong offensive game plan, using short-ball to grind up yards and keep our aggressive defense off balance. With our RBs, I say run the ball until you clearly can’t. Bonus: An O Line prefers attacking a D Line on the run to getting beaten up play after play by a killer pass rush. Like Zak, the O Line needs a break, let’s try to give it to them.
Wow. This is actually encouraging. He has been really unlucky starting his career going against two of the best defenses in football (BUF and NE) w horrid o line play. Maybe he needed the trial by fire because something seems to have “clicked.” Hoping this carries over
I was a vocal Zach Wilson critic (not hater) the past 2 seasons. I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis; this is a different Zach Wilson, he looks and plays like an NFL QB. Amazing what good coaching and mentoring from a veteran can do for a young player. Still needs to learn to control the safety with his eyes; saw on Hardknocks Rodgers teaching him that skill, but needs to do it in a game. I actually liked the air on the deep ball to GW; last year his deep balls were too much like lasers; more air gives receiver time to run under it, he just needs to freeze the safety with a look or a pump fake.
Think of all the ones before him who were even better and didn’t make it. All due respect, Wilson is not the answer for the Jets and they need to move on from him now.
@@jarbor7898 brave comment when a disastrous game is nearly over; I pay cowards no mind. Zach showed something in Dallas, stunk today, may be benched next week, maybe out of the league the end of the year. Happy trolling.
@@live2thefullest617 oh don’t get me wrong. The Pats suck and they are a disaster. Unfortunately, they don’t change and Bill still thinks Brady is there. He doesn’t let the players play - at least defensively.
Can I raise your bet? Zach looked BRILLIANT! 2nd quarter 9:10 mark 1st and 10 at the 35. totally swallowed up by Parsons, release time of less than 2 seconds, and the pass tipped as he's killed, and he still got it perfectly to Breece Hall on the screen - dropped . Same play he hit big on against the Bills. 8:29 to go in the 2nd period at two seconds, he does the shoulder dip to avoid the rush, steps up, the only reason he isn't grabbed is that the right end and left end rushes collide. He steps up with poise, but he snags his foot on the turf, you can see it clearly, just as he throws at 2 seconds release time. Probable pass interference on the play, and still put it where only Garrett could have made a play. Without that trip he most likely makes at least a first down catch even with Zach's toe snag. His picture perfect TD pass to Garrett is released with a two second release time. PERFECT. 29 seconds to go in the half no pocket had to run, executed it perfectly, and TAKES A HELMET TO HELMET SHOT as he is clearly going down - no call. If he didn't already have both feet in the air and his butt just off the ground it could have been season ending. You can see his head snap back on contact. With both Dallas players still sitting on him springs up for the next play. Brilliant. 3rd and 5, 12 seconds to go in the half down 18-7 and a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson - if not tipped - 2.1 second release time. Carbon copy of his touchdown against the Bills and Aaron in preseseason. 3rd and 5 on the 16 , if the pass isn't tipped at 2.1 seconds it's a first down or more. And we can't say pass faster, 2nd and 17 on their 18 - 4:42 left in the third quarter down 24-10 he got rid of it in 1.2 seconds - pass dropped by Garrett. Look at that play, it's the kind of play he could has taken to the house. 4th quarter 8:16 to go, 1st and 10 on our 20 he got rid of it in 1.4 seconds and drops it in perfectly. Clear pass interference on what would have been a touchdown that NOBODY is talking about . The defender grabs Garret's right arm, yanks it down, then uses that leverage to knocks away the pass. Freeze it! That was a touchdown. 3rd and 4 on the 31 and 7:30 to play, evades a sack by Parsons, rolls to his left and passes nearly cross body off his back foot with Parsons IN HIS FACE, making the kind of throw only absolute elite QB's like Mahomes can make, drops a dime to Lazard, 44 yards downfield, who then gets pushed out of bounds. 44 yard pass play under extreme duress and pressure. Freeze it. You can see both defenders pushing him out, otherwise he would clearly have toe tapped. Revised stats, 16/27 300 YARDS 3 TOUCHDOWNS 1 INTERCEPTION. The last couple of interceptions would never have happened. Throw in the drops and it would be 19/27 and 330 plus yards or more, and 3 touchdowns or more. What is the completion percentage of passes where the QB had 2 or fewer seconds to pass? I stopped analyzing in the 4th quarter, because I was exhausted, and had spent at least 5-6 hours, free of charge, analyzing things and writing this sum up. When the game got out of hand he can't be blamed for heaving it. He was likely told to do so. And those late interceptions would never have happened because it would have either been a tight game or we would have been in the LEAD! It wasn' t a wipe out, it was Slugout. Zach made it EVEN against maybe the best team in the league right now. See it this way and we might very well have beaten them because our defense could take a breath. 16/27 300 YARDS 3 TOUCHDOWNS 1 INTERCEPTION Nearly every pass under intense pressure. That's the reality, we have the reciepts, Yet Jet fans (it's Stockholm syndrom btw:) and the media from SNY, to ESPN, to Eisen, and the youtubers crying out for Kirk Cousins. Wilson did what only Mahomes could have done, and they want him replaced. All the above plus the coaching staff, nearly destroyed this kid. I would have crumbled at that age under that pressure, always looking over his shoulder, being replaced by a less than average QB in Mike White who was praised to the hilt by Jet fans and Media. Then on that Thursday night, by a guy who could only run and throw ducks. WITH THE CAMERA'S FOCUSSING ON HIM ON THE SIDELINES. I've never been more ashamed of my fellow Jets fans. I know a guy who stopped being a Colt's fan and became a Denver fan when they dumped Payton Manning. I thought he was being disloyal, choosing to follow the QB over the team, but if al6:30 PM 9/19/2023l the above don't stop, he will leave and after almost 60 years as a Jet fan I'll follow him where he goes. He might be destroyed by then by all the above, but I'll still follow him because of the raw deal the organization gave him.
There’s a grain of truth in what you say.He has a big game on Sunday. His o line has to protect better. His oc has to call more running plays to the right side, our strength. The coaches need to trust Zach more. And Zach has to play within himself. And smarter. That long interception 3 could have been completed to wilson with a smart look off to freeze the safety. He didn’t and it was picked off.
I’ve watched this game a dozen times. I’m watching now and with about 5 minutes in the 3rd quarter hi is 6 for 12 for 108 yards. 68 coming in one play! If this is brilliant then you really need to access the other 31 QBs that are light years better
Luke you are just a homer! LOL JK, You are always awesome and fair with your reviews. Very detailed and you have changed my view of the game. Watching the replay you realize that Zach did play very well, it was just the fact of the lost. Thanks for the vid.
I'd love to see Zach play a game where he's not running for his life everytime he drops back. He's getting there, but he needs help on OL ... any QB needs decent protection.
Coming from a cowboys fan I think Wilson played well, Nathaniel is the real reason 😂..but on your last review he actually had Lazard iso open on the double move but Wilson stared down Garrett the whole way. Got picked. I’ve watched him at BYU and his main problem is he doesn’t look of his receivers.
He did but that’s a pre snap decision. I think that’s an easy big play if he just uses the right speed and trajectory of throw. Don’t really come off that throw to look at #10. I hear you on the OC haha
@@PlayLikeAJet I hear ya..I like your takes. We just disguised it as a two high look but really it was single high. We knew that Zach was trying to feed Garrett all game. Don’t blame em lol. Pre snap just fooled him but if he recognize those things he should be fine.
Unfortunately we have so many haters that refuse to acknowledge any kind of improvement because they expect any qb drafted over #10 should be the second coming of Marino once they step on the field & ignore that the kid wasn’t developed & came from a small school program .. his physical tools are off the charts .. patience people ..
The "small school" program he came from has a Heisman, national championship, multiple Super Bowl winning QBs, NFL MVPs, 4 current QBs in the league, many All-american QBs, invented the modern West coast passing offense, and has been referred to as the quarterback factory. I see the "small school" trope repeated over and over again by Jets fans, and it's not true. BYU, while not a college football blue blood, is not a small school and has a rich QB history. What is true is that Zach played a watered down schedule his Senior year due to Covid....
Good breakdown, Luke! Yes i had this game as one of the trending on the upward scale for Zach Wilson's career. He had 3 picks in the 4th quarter but this is cherry picking already. 1st 3 quarters i saw a lot of growth. Hopefully he can stack this growth against the Patriots this week. Thanks
Great Video Luke - Those of us who see the tremendous promise in Zach are severely outnumbered by the pessimistic Jet fans, much like the Spartan General Leonidas was outnumbered at Thermopylae by the invading Persians, but the Greeks won that war and people still sing of the bravery of Leonidas. Here's hoping that the pessimistic Jet fans will surrender their Eisen/Asman/Cowterd/Nick Not Wright/Every Idiot at the Ringer/Every Other Jet Podcaster cynicism after the Zach Wilson led blowout of the Pats, and we can all join forces under the same flag. We just need for the wind to be manageable, or for Cheapskate Woody Johnson to install a dome. Our defense severely underperformed last week, now playing at home, with the Pats OL having to deal with road crowd noise for the first time we should be able to feast. This is the weakest offense we will face all year, this is our best chance for a shutout.
Watching it live i thought he played very well in a offensive gameplan that was taylored to be safe & conservative. Not to mention the o-line was horrific. This will be the hardest defense he will play all yr. He looked confident & decisive
@makeluck3659 nvr said it was elite Zach Wilson is consistently inconsistent you will see spurts of good and spurts of bad you see the talent then you also see the he's a BUST factor. Is what it is
This is why I really feel that today's NFL throws 1st round QBs in too early. I remember the days when QBs sat behind veterans and learned the game. The best thing that happened to Steve Young was being traded to San Francisco to sit behind Joe Montana. Brett Favre was traded from Atlanta to Green Bay and sat, shortly, behind Don Majkowski (not a great player, but was the starter). Both of these players were considered busts with their first teams, but got moved and sat behind established starters. The Jets were able to do something similar, but in reverse, by getting a future Hall of Famer to help Zach Wilson. They either did it to help groom Wilson because Rodgers doesn't have as much time left to give or to increase the trade value of Wilson. Either way what they did could prove invaluable. (By the way, I am not trying to suggest that Zach Wilson will become the next Brett Favre or Steve Young by any means.)
You Are So Correct I Just Told The Wife I Put Our Life Savings House Kids And Dogs On Zach Wilson Leading The Jets To The Playoffs I'm Totally Confident Thank You For Reassuring Me
That throw to Allen Lazard blew my mind. Too bad it was out of bounds. Besides the bomb he threw on his rookie year against the Titans. His passed to Lazard was impressive.
Very fair evaluation of ZW's play Luke. I dont think most of the knowledgeable fan base would put this lost on him. It would still be nice if he would have avoided the INT's just so the haters dont have anything to chirp about. If he plays this week against NE like he did most of the last game, we'll win. Just hoping it's not a monsoon.
For sure, would rather it be cleaner but when it’s the end of the game and it’s dead, I just don’t care as much as most. Don’t bother dinking and dunking
The last interception was one of my favorite plays - i want more shots downfield - i believe GW will come down with more of those than he misses. Good decision by Zach to attack deep - I bet A-Rod was in his ear about how to throw that ball in the future
Great video Luke. Context matters, I'd rather have a QB go down slinging it than giving up on the game and throwing check downs to preserve a stat line. 3 picks against the Cowboys this past week is very different than 3 picks against the Pats in a close game last year. Zach can't throw 3 picks today against the Pats. The stat line should suffer today, the weather is terrible, but the media won't take that into account - it's OK when Burrow throws under 100 yards in similar conditions - and to be fair the context is different because Joe Burrow is a great player. Zach doesn't have that room for error. We're looking for tangible improvement from Zach, expecting instant fantasy stats is unrealistic, nor is it the goal. Today's game should be tough against the Pats, bad weather or not. People are ready to pounce on Zach each week, regardless of the tape or the context. That being stated, Zach needs a win today in the worst way, a win and a decent performance can help secure his starting job going forward, and give him much needed positive momentum. A bad performance could mean the end of the Zach Wilson era, regardless of the context. For context, Zach has taken steps forward, and needs to continue to improve in some areas. He needs experience to accomplish this. Today's game is crucial. For context, I'm a Jets fans and root for our players to do well, and I choose to look at potential. I wanted Rodgers to start all 17 games this season. That's not the case, let's root for the Jets on the field. Zach may end up disappointing, but he has way more upside with his talent than any of our other options. Some young quarterbacks need patience as they learn to be NFL QBs. Geno was a bust, so was Steve Young and Vinny Testaverde, right? I'm happy to see the shift in the offensive line. Go Jets!
Couldn't agree more. I thought this was probably the best game of his career. I can't stand watching him play generally but this was watchable for the most part. I saw real growth as well.
Agreed, the Tampa game was great for him. Gave me a lot of hope. This may be more sustainable if he can harness it and not succumb to the tendencies that make him throw away the game. @@PlayLikeAJet
The 3rd Interception isn't just on the trajectory of the throw. The Jets have the perfect call with double stutter go's on the boundaries against single high man. Instead of eyeing GW down the entire route, he needs to trick Hooker with his eyes because if he looked off Hooker towards either boundary, both receivers won their routes and he get his choice of which receiver to throw to for a touchdown. It's little nuisance like that, that Zach hasn't gotten yet. Yes his accuracy has improved but teams are going to dare the Jets to beat single high man and he hasn't shown the capability to do so
@@PlayLikeAJet The point is, that throw becomes a layup if you just look off the safety. I get he was pressing but that was an easy TD that went for an interception because he skipped simple steps. Hooker should've been out of the play entirely
I’ve been a Bills fan for over 55 years, watching of course my team but also the rest of the teams in the NFL for that long. In my opinion, you can watch the All 22 for all of 24 hours non stop and cherry pick all the positive plays Wilson made. He will never be a consistently great NFL starting QB. Today he goes up against his clone, Mac Jones, and the Pats. My prediction is he will absolutely be the reason your Jets lose today and Saleh will be forced to bring in an experienced retread to learn the playbook and replace Wilson as soon as possible. Zach is still young so he’ll bounce around the league like Darnold and Mayfield, possibly win a starting job for a team with no rookie QB ready to go, as Baker has done (for the moment) down in Tampa. However he just doesn’t have that “it” factor to ever be better then that. Even as a Buffalo die hard fan I felt genuinely horrible for Aaron Rodgers when he went down Week One. However he was brought in because the Jets organization knows that Zach Wilson is not the answer.
"Drops his eyes and finds the checkdown". Is this a common feature of play design, to put the checkdown on the same vertical plane as the primary receiver? Makes a lot of sense!
Yes we know! Zach Wilson is absolutely tremendous! That is why the jets score so many points with him as qb with the good weapons they have on o(and yes,I know o line is subpar). Memo: these guys are nfl qbs. You can cherry pick a few plays for even the worst of the worst that make them look stellar. You can take an mlb hitter who hits 8 homeruns all year and create film that makes him look like Barry bonds, but what is the point? Look at the preponderance of the results, and what speaks the loudest about a player is the team's game plan around that player and what they ask him to do. No one with even a modicum of football knowledge can look at the jets offensive game plans and think they think he is even an average qb
I thought Zach played well until the game was out of reach in the 4th quarter and he started playing hero ball. He was much better than he was against the Bills.
The growth was definitely there but the glaring downside is his inability to convert 3rd downs. The o line is a factor but there were a few times where he didn’t see wide open receivers for easy conversions but forced it elsewhere. If the o line gets it together I like Zach going forward
I think the concern is the mistakes that he was making too many of in the past were being made again. That one interception you showed when he rolled out to his right, the ball should’ve been thrown out of bounds as soon as he was outside of the box.
Here’s where context comes into it. You can’t throw the ball away down 20 points with 8 mins to go. You gave to score 3 TDs. You have to push. Also, he’s been flushed out of the pocket after 1.5 seconds. Just not important to me
Down 3 scores with less than 10 minutes left in the game. Against a monster pass rush you cant keep throwing the ball out of bounds that late in the game. Best case scenario you get in FG range and put up 3 pts, and with the way the Dallas offense had been marching up and down the field those 3 pts mean nothing. He had to try to make something out of nothing.
Also like the last play of the first half where Lawrence hit his arm on a throw to GW that should’ve been a TD. It was a great step up but bad protection
I'm with you on this. The cowboys are probably the 2nd best team in the league. The offensive line could not protect him yet the jets still scored points. The defense ran out of gas because the offense couldn't stay on the field. Still he needs to improve.
He needs to stop overthinking. He torqued that deep ball well (Hail Mary). Mix in some pistol plays from college with quick pass from Hackett. Use the run but don’t rely on the run. It’s the element of surprise- toss out jet sweeps te curl deep shots ✅
Zach is light years ahead of where he was. The offensive line needs to improve or Zach isn’t gonna be physically able to finish the season, let alone progress as a young QB.
Never seen a guy hated on more than Zach. It’s sad. My worry is… I fully believe he has improved. But I hope his confidence didn’t die a bit with those 3 INTs. And this week won’t be his saving grace. No QB does well in a tropical storm
I was shocked Zach played well before down so many points. The defense and OL were trash. I'm not a Zach fan, but he wasn't the issue in this game. ✈️✈️✈️
One thing this video needed to show tho was him missing baaadly on open guys for 3rd down early in the game multiple times. He had a MUST take check down to I think Michael Carter on the first drive and held it. Those are tye difference bt a 170 pass yard, 10 pt, bad game and a 20 point, 225 yard actual nfl performance, keeps the dallas offense on the sideline, etc. He takes that one last big growth step and he's legit Edit: yup 1st half vs patriots he has apparently been fools gold. Zw is constantly not seeing or throwing open guys. Oline can't block a soul in run game. NEGATIVE YARDS after a quarter....AGAIN.
What was Hacket thinking? There are ways to take advantage of an overly aggressive pass rush. Where were those plays? Rex Ryan was being interviewed by Stephen A Smith. They both said the same thing. Where was the in game adjustments to slow the pass rush? It was non existent. You tire out an aggressive pass rush with screens and misdirection runs. They were non-existent. Wilson needs to protect himself and call his own plays at the line when the microphone gets cut off.
You forgot to mention he had a TOUCHDOWN to G Wilson at the end of the half, but the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage due to no pass protection. Also that interception could’ve been a TOUCHDOWN, all he had to do was look off the safety on the other side of the field.
Correct thoughts. I think one of few that pinpoints fact, rather than overblown emotions. Team was flat, Oline has been terrible for 3 years. He got key 1st downs using his feet. Lets not forget a key drive that Cook fumbled away, as they were moving forward. Yes, he threw interceptions at the end. Roger's has done that, too. Had Roger's played, he would have fared no better and could have gotten hurt then.
Good analysis but he should've thrown it away on that first INT play but I understand they were down almost 20. Also the last INT, he should've stared at the receivers on the other side of the field to fool the high safety at the center of the field to move towards the bottom of the screen and then turned his gaze to the other side and launched it cuz that would've been a TD had he done that
The thing is, he doesn’t even need to be great. Play like the 15-20th best QB in football and the Jets win a playoff game this year. But the OL and D needs to step up
I been sreaming Zach is not the problem all week..Most people don't appreciate the fundamentals of the game..He's gonna be a beast..Duan Brown is not practicing due to injury...but he's gonna start at LT even though Big Ticket is the best LT on the team...Where is the Jet sweeps..Hardman is good at those..the WR Screens, Lazard is good at blocking those, Tippman and AVT are good at pulling and getting to the second level...but they're not doing any of that...and GW and BH both dropped passes...No help..Like I actually see Zach improving and that is amazing considering the JETS have never developed a QB.
I’ve been waiting for this and I was correct from what I saw .. Zack improved and last year I didn’t support Zack at all.. but I see the growth.. time to Insert Rucker in there…
Thats what I mean, man. THANK YOU. Everyone always blames the QB. Zach improved in my opinion. He played well. The left side of the offensive line is jelly. Aaron Rodgers was hurt behind this line! It doesnt matter who's standing there... put fuckin' Tom Brady there and he's gonna get cut down, too!!
Zach played very good, if he was on the 49ers he would be a top 5 nfl QB. Jets O-line pass protection is trash and their is no creative play design scheme.
Sorry I can't agree that this is a good performance when Zach Wilson has only 170 yds passing in a game where they didn't run the ball. I admit he can make some good and some great plays. While most back up QBs don't gain any positive yards, I feel the encouragement. However Zach Wilsons stats on this day are only good enough if the Jets had run for over 200 yds. If you want to baby Breece Hall because of the O-line, that's wise. However ground and pound Dalvin Cook and Michael Carter. If you can accept three interceptions then you should also accept multiple three and outs where you run the ball on every play. Also I believe if Chris Streveler was playing with this same O-line, you would get more positive yards consistently from the run so why can't Wilson hand the ball off enough. Hackett is to blame for under use of the Rbs.
If people are saying that Zach is the reason why they are losing? They are not paying attention that the Jets OLine is made of tissue paper. AR went down because of the weak OLine not so much in the last play but its the plays that led to him being out for a season. The Oline problem wasn't fixed in the off-season AND still remains the biggest concern.
You're right that he's shown growth, but he's also not the answer to the problem at QB and I don't think he can become the answer for this team. That said we'll get to see him the rest of this season and see how he continues to grow and progress. But the simple truth is you can't get too excited over baby steps when the kid is 3 years old now. Are there other factors in play? Absolutely, does he deserve all the blame? Absolutely not, but would it be wise to waste another year after this year on trying to prove that he has talent if he doesn't show it this season when it's all on him to help this team take that next step? No it wouldn't be wise, because your window with the current talent you have is already closing the second it opens in the NFL.
Ask yourself how well Aaron Rodgers would have fared in 2007 playing behind this offensive line. My guess is not much better. Perspective is extremely important when judging what kind of future a player may or may not have in the NFL.
Guys! I am SO SORRY about how delayed this video is. I had a hugeee job interview pop up on Monday and then a second interview on Wednesday, so I was a under the pump.
Your boy got it though! The content will be coming thick and fast still!
Congrats Bruv! and keep up the content
never apolgize, we dont pay for this content. good luck on your job brotha!
@@ZoSOFrappacino thank you so much man!
@@nikkynft4694 this means a lot man. Thanks for watching
I agree. He looked good.
I had this game as the best of his career. Up to the point when the game was already lost so he had to play hero ball of course. I ask myself how good he would've looked with a competent offensive line.
Yep, I hear that brother
The line is excellent, it just looked bad against parsons. Without parsons, it would have played fine.
@@ladistarour line is the opposite of excellent. It’s garbage
How is this game better then the one he had against the eagles rookie year
He’s ranked as the 2nd best qb in the league when the line blocks
That was a very fair minded analysis. Not easy to do when emotions are running so high!
You always have great and fair analysis...I really like the channel
Man, thanks so much. These comments mean a lot. Thanks for watching
Good day Luke. You are one of the most knowledgeable Jets content creators on CZcams. You back your opinions with film study and not emotions like some of the other Jets content creators. I also thought Zach did pretty well and showed plenty of growth considering what he was facing in the Dallas Defense. The same defense that made Daniel Jones look like a high school QB
Man, I really appreciate these kind of comments. Mean a lot. Thanks for watching man
Yeh I put in the work homey 💪 and it shows. In a sea of Jets YT filled with copycats u truly stand out
@@PlayLikeAJetLove your work Luke. I just hope bad weather and Belichek aren’t factors for Zach’s play this weekend . We need to get over the hump of New England
@@salt27doggI hope Zach Wilson has his signature game this weekend. He's got the talent, just needs to put it all together. I'm not his biggest fan but I don't care, I want the jets win. Beating NE would not only feel great as a jets fan, I think it would mean even more for Wilson. Also I live in New England now, lol. J-E-T-S!
Anyone else think this Jets coaching staff is ruining Mekhi's career? The right side is not only not his natural side but he's publicly said that the right side puts extra stress on his surgically repaired knee. I get that this coaching staff is very loyal to Duane but playing Duane on the left and Mekhi on the right is having 1 bad edge and 1 okay edge when they can have 1 very good edge with Mekhi on the left....
Matter of time they switch back on the left
I read an article or comment somewhere where a doctor apparently explained to Mekhi that he has less of a chance of having the same injury if he plays right side.
People see the stat-line and then make comments about how they thought the performance was. When I was watching the game it was so apparent it was a loss due to the line play both offense and defensive lines got thrashed. Hats off to Dallas though. They look like the team to beat.
Yep, they were incredible. I’m with you on both counts
Three interceptions, 10 points and four sacks is an improvement..... seriously?
@nitetrainjames3214 it not bout the points it's bout his basics him able to hit the check downs and in the flats. In not saying he had a perfect game but till the game plan he was suppose to manage the game. Let the defense and running game sustain us against the cowboys but the run game was non existence so they put him in a position where he had to try to start making big plays and taking which some did other not so much but to me his dropbacks and his body orientation when he throwing the ball as improved
I was surprised how well he played against such an elite defense until he had to try and play hero ball.
Hopefully the run game will be there Sunday to take some pressure off him and Garrett.
I've been waiting for this. Spent the week being "you know there are interceptions and there are interceptions, right?"
Explaining nuance to people who don’t want to hear it is hard, hey haha
Great video!!! Thanks for all you do!
No, thank you for watching 💚
This just goes to show, ALL the parts of a football team are important. You have have a great defense, great special teams, great receivers and even a decent QB, but if there if the Oline is weak, it's not gonna work.
You’re spot on. This isn’t basketball
I was screaming about this all off-season and the people were brushing it off talking about how Aaron Rodgers will compensate for it. Four snaps into the season for Douglas and the coaching staff and they get exposed. The line the way it is right now is nothing short of dereliction of duty.
@@XxProdigalSonXxabsolute clown post, the line is very good, it just got beat by Micah parsons, the best defensive player in the league. It happens. The unit is still top 15 in the nfl.
And I have said since before AROD came we needed oline I new this was going to happen
Yep, I agree with you. Predictable
Thank you sir the media has been clowning this young man all week without really watching the game trying to continue the negative narrative..This week against the Pats he has to look for the little things and not try to be a hero hopefully we run the ball more to take that pressure off
Appreciate you watching. I hear you
Zach has improved. But I wouldn’t say he is an asset to the team yet and would still bring in a veteran at some point. His reactions in the passing game suggest to me that when he has to think - he is in trouble. Which means the game is still moving too fast. However , if he throws the ball away to avoid the sacks , hits the easy throws , and chooses to run when the opportunity presents itself (rather than wait for the big play) - he can be effective as he continues to adjust to game speed.
I get that Parsons is INCREDIBLE, but McGovern should be absolutely ashamed of himself for the rep at 8:15. How does a center possibly get beat that badly by ANYONE? Did he even make contact with him?
He is the freakiest athlete in the sport. Im going to be a little honest, I think that’s a scheme issue. About two C’s are touching him 1 v 1 on an island there.
But I get what you’re saying
lol, I don't know many Centers that can deal with that quickness.
No matter what Zach is not the future of the jets any fan wanting to keep him is nuts
It's nice to see some critical thinking, and real analysis. Thanks. Not a Jet Fan but I really like your breakdowns.
Thanks very much man, appreciate that
What an excellent, accurate and fair analysis. On the deep pick, Garrett Wilson said that wasn’t Zach fault. GW added that the pick that was to go to Michael Carter was not on Zach. Saleh too put that one on the route, not the throw. Lastly, if Becton could have half gigs block a fraction of a second longer, and Zach’s arm isn’t hit, that’s a TD to a wide open GW in the front left corner of the end zone.
More 12 personnel please!!!
Yes yes, Zach Wilson “sucks” I can see the comments
I agree, people just look at the box score. He was supposed to have two years behind Rodgers, he got 4 plays. He was thrown into the lions den the first game and came out with a win. Then he was tasked with beating arguably the best D-line with little help from coaches and the o-line. We know his history, but I’m not ready to trash him yet.
It really wasn’t fully his fault. The defense, as great as they can be, just didn’t show up. Lamb did whatever he wanted. I don’t know why Sauce didn’t check him the entire game. Zach just had to do too much basically all the time against a top level defense. Ugly game but it was not fully his fault. #Ganggreen
Yep, I hear you
He's the type of QB that needs help, when the defense has a bad match up and can't hold it down theres no way the Jets win.
It was “mostly” not his fault.
@@carlitosortiz2870every QB needs help. Mahomes and the Chiefs lost to the Lions because Mahomes can’t catch it for his WRs. Crappy OL play helps no one
@@TheHighlanderprime my bad homie. I know reading that was equivalent of listening to nails on a chalkboard lol
I Appreciate good content like this. And breaking things down completely 💯💯💯
You can see with his throws that he's also adopting a little of Rodgers' patented body twist that gives his release and rotation a smaller arc, making it harder for the defense to anticipte the exact direction of the throw. Rodgers throws one of the most beautiful balls in football, and Wilson seems to have that crispness developing in his throws too. He's always had a good arm, but there's a touch and feel to his throws. If the Jets give him some support, he'll do them proud.
Let’s hope they can just block at an average level 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You see Zach as the future of the jets??
Spot on as always. Only addition I would make is that the deep ball to GW that got picked was still a catchable ball, even if it wasn’t a frozen rope, but Garrett took his eyes off the ball and looked at Hooker. Go back and watch it in the slow mo from the broadcast. He takes his eyes off the ball and instead of high pointing it, he looks at Hooker for a second, then looks back at the ball and hooker is already jumping. That play happens Bang/Bang. GW was telling Zach to trust him all night and throw it deep, but the time we needed him to make the play on the ball, he got scared of the contact, got distracted and got out played. No hate, just facts. Sauce drops the pick 6. Breece has 4 Carries. NONE of the stars performed as they should, including coaching adjustments and gameplan, not to mention the DROPS lack of protection or ability to run the ball or defense inability to get off the field on 3rd down or TERRIBLE roughing penalties on huge 3rd downs that the NFL admitted was bad, and Dallas played to their ceiling. We didn’t even play to our floor. Was it a 100% ball from Zach like it could have been? No. Was it a 85-90% ball that GW needs to make the play on if he wants to be as great as he says he is? Abso freaking lutely. Zach Wilson can win games with this team, if the team plays to their ceiling and we can get a damn block from the line.
What are you talking about...he stared down Garrett the entire play what do you think would happen!
Key consideration is that the players know the real deal. Wilson knows when Wilson tosses him a good ball. As long as Wilson holds onto the locker room, we should be okay. That said, we have to establish the run to ease things up for Zak. By contrast, Dallas had a strong offensive game plan, using short-ball to grind up yards and keep our aggressive defense off balance. With our RBs, I say run the ball until you clearly can’t. Bonus: An O Line prefers attacking a D Line on the run to getting beaten up play after play by a killer pass rush. Like Zak, the O Line needs a break, let’s try to give it to them.
Wow. This is actually encouraging. He has been really unlucky starting his career going against two of the best defenses in football (BUF and NE) w horrid o line play. Maybe he needed the trial by fire because something seems to have “clicked.” Hoping this carries over
Let’s hope so. I’ve seen more than enough good in really tough situations through 2 weeks
I was a vocal Zach Wilson critic (not hater) the past 2 seasons. I agree wholeheartedly with your analysis; this is a different Zach Wilson, he looks and plays like an NFL QB. Amazing what good coaching and mentoring from a veteran can do for a young player. Still needs to learn to control the safety with his eyes; saw on Hardknocks Rodgers teaching him that skill, but needs to do it in a game. I actually liked the air on the deep ball to GW; last year his deep balls were too much like lasers; more air gives receiver time to run under it, he just needs to freeze the safety with a look or a pump fake.
I don’t know what u r watching but he’s not. Wishful thinking…
Think of all the ones before him who were even better and didn’t make it. All due respect, Wilson is not the answer for the Jets and they need to move on from him now.
@@jarbor7898 brave comment when a disastrous game is nearly over; I pay cowards no mind. Zach showed something in Dallas, stunk today, may be benched next week, maybe out of the league the end of the year. Happy trolling.
@@live2thefullest617 oh don’t get me wrong. The Pats suck and they are a disaster. Unfortunately, they don’t change and Bill still thinks Brady is there. He doesn’t let the players play - at least defensively.
I am looking forward to your Pats video. Everyone is saying he had so many wide open receivers, but i need to see it from you!
Can I raise your bet? Zach looked BRILLIANT! 2nd quarter 9:10 mark 1st and 10 at the 35. totally swallowed up by Parsons, release time of less than 2 seconds, and the pass tipped as he's killed, and he still got it perfectly to Breece Hall on the screen - dropped . Same play he hit big on against the Bills. 8:29 to go in the 2nd period at two seconds, he does the shoulder dip to avoid the rush, steps up, the only reason he isn't grabbed is that the right end and left end rushes collide. He steps up with poise, but he snags his foot on the turf, you can see it clearly, just as he throws at 2 seconds release time. Probable pass interference on the play, and still put it where only Garrett could have made a play. Without that trip he most likely makes at least a first down catch even with Zach's toe snag. His picture perfect TD pass to Garrett is released with a two second release time. PERFECT. 29 seconds to go in the half no pocket had to run, executed it perfectly, and TAKES A HELMET TO HELMET SHOT as he is clearly going down - no call. If he didn't already have both feet in the air and his butt just off the ground it could have been season ending. You can see his head snap back on contact. With both Dallas players still sitting on him springs up for the next play. Brilliant. 3rd and 5, 12 seconds to go in the half down 18-7 and a touchdown pass to Garrett Wilson - if not tipped - 2.1 second release time. Carbon copy of his touchdown against the Bills and Aaron in preseseason. 3rd and 5 on the 16 , if the pass isn't tipped at 2.1 seconds it's a first down or more. And we can't say pass faster, 2nd and 17 on their 18 - 4:42 left in the third quarter down 24-10 he got rid of it in 1.2 seconds - pass dropped by Garrett. Look at that play, it's the kind of play he could has taken to the house. 4th quarter 8:16 to go, 1st and 10 on our 20 he got rid of it in 1.4 seconds and drops it in perfectly. Clear pass interference on what would have been a touchdown that NOBODY is talking about . The defender grabs Garret's right arm, yanks it down, then uses that leverage to knocks away the pass. Freeze it! That was a touchdown. 3rd and 4 on the 31 and 7:30 to play, evades a sack by Parsons, rolls to his left and passes nearly cross body off his back foot with Parsons IN HIS FACE, making the kind of throw only absolute elite QB's like Mahomes can make, drops a dime to Lazard, 44 yards downfield, who then gets pushed out of bounds. 44 yard pass play under extreme duress and pressure. Freeze it. You can see both defenders pushing him out, otherwise he would clearly have toe tapped. Revised stats, 16/27 300 YARDS 3 TOUCHDOWNS 1 INTERCEPTION. The last couple of interceptions would never have happened. Throw in the drops and it would be 19/27 and 330 plus yards or more, and 3 touchdowns or more. What is the completion percentage of passes where the QB had 2 or fewer seconds to pass? I stopped analyzing in the 4th quarter, because I was exhausted, and had spent at least 5-6 hours, free of charge, analyzing things and writing this sum up. When the game got out of hand he can't be blamed for heaving it. He was likely told to do so. And those late interceptions would never have happened because it would have either been a tight game or we would have been in the LEAD! It wasn' t a wipe out, it was Slugout. Zach made it EVEN against maybe the best team in the league right now. See it this way and we might very well have beaten them because our defense could take a breath.
16/27 300 YARDS 3 TOUCHDOWNS 1 INTERCEPTION
Nearly every pass under intense pressure. That's the reality, we have the reciepts, Yet Jet fans (it's Stockholm syndrom btw:) and the media from SNY, to ESPN, to Eisen, and the youtubers crying out for Kirk Cousins. Wilson did what only Mahomes could have done, and they want him replaced. All the above plus the coaching staff, nearly destroyed this kid. I would have crumbled at that age under that pressure, always looking over his shoulder, being replaced by a less than average QB in Mike White who was praised to the hilt by Jet fans and Media. Then on that Thursday night, by a guy who could only run and throw ducks. WITH THE CAMERA'S FOCUSSING ON HIM ON THE SIDELINES. I've never been more ashamed of my fellow Jets fans. I know a guy who stopped being a Colt's fan and became a Denver fan when they dumped Payton Manning. I thought he was being disloyal, choosing to follow the QB over the team, but if al6:30 PM 9/19/2023l the above don't stop, he will leave and after almost 60 years as a Jet fan I'll follow him where he goes. He might be destroyed by then by all the above, but I'll still follow him because of the raw deal the organization gave him.
I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
First par of This^ and what I said in my own comment.
The absolute worst thing I’ve ever read. It’s like football is as foreign to you as brain surgery.
There’s a grain of truth in what you say.He has a big game on Sunday. His o line has to protect better. His oc has to call more running plays to the right side, our strength. The coaches need to trust Zach more. And Zach has to play within himself. And smarter. That long interception 3 could have been completed to wilson with a smart look off to freeze the safety. He didn’t and it was picked off.
I’ve watched this game a dozen times. I’m watching now and with about 5 minutes in the 3rd quarter hi is 6 for 12 for 108 yards. 68 coming in one play! If this is brilliant then you really need to access the other 31 QBs that are light years better
Luke you are just a homer! LOL JK, You are always awesome and fair with your reviews. Very detailed and you have changed my view of the game. Watching the replay you realize that Zach did play very well, it was just the fact of the lost. Thanks for the vid.
😂😂
Thanks for watching man
That slant to Wilson over the middle was an absolute SEED
Really good throw. Excellent timing
I'd love to see Zach play a game where he's not running for his life everytime he drops back.
He's getting there, but he needs help on OL ... any QB needs decent protection.
Coming from a cowboys fan I think Wilson played well, Nathaniel is the real reason 😂..but on your last review he actually had Lazard iso open on the double move but Wilson stared down Garrett the whole way. Got picked. I’ve watched him at BYU and his main problem is he doesn’t look of his receivers.
He did but that’s a pre snap decision. I think that’s an easy big play if he just uses the right speed and trajectory of throw.
Don’t really come off that throw to look at #10.
I hear you on the OC haha
@@PlayLikeAJet I hear ya..I like your takes. We just disguised it as a two high look but really it was single high. We knew that Zach was trying to feed Garrett all game. Don’t blame em lol. Pre snap just fooled him but if he recognize those things he should be fine.
Awesome job and analysis! Loved it. Thank you for your objective analysis.
Unfortunately we have so many haters that refuse to acknowledge any kind of improvement because they expect any qb drafted over #10 should be the second coming of Marino once they step on the field & ignore that the kid wasn’t developed & came from a small school program .. his physical tools are off the charts .. patience people ..
Yep, pretty much summed it up
The "small school" program he came from has a Heisman, national championship, multiple Super Bowl winning QBs, NFL MVPs, 4 current QBs in the league, many All-american QBs, invented the modern West coast passing offense, and has been referred to as the quarterback factory. I see the "small school" trope repeated over and over again by Jets fans, and it's not true. BYU, while not a college football blue blood, is not a small school and has a rich QB history. What is true is that Zach played a watered down schedule his Senior year due to Covid....
Good breakdown, Luke! Yes i had this game as one of the trending on the upward scale for Zach Wilson's career. He had 3 picks in the 4th quarter but this is cherry picking already. 1st 3 quarters i saw a lot of growth. Hopefully he can stack this growth against the Patriots this week. Thanks
Appreciate you watching
You and myself are two of the few who actually gave ZW credit for his improved QB play; he’s improved since last season from these two games.
Great Video Luke - Those of us who see the tremendous promise in Zach are severely outnumbered by the pessimistic Jet fans, much like the Spartan General Leonidas was outnumbered at Thermopylae by the invading Persians, but the Greeks won that war and people still sing of the bravery of Leonidas. Here's hoping that the pessimistic Jet fans will surrender their Eisen/Asman/Cowterd/Nick Not Wright/Every Idiot at the Ringer/Every Other Jet Podcaster cynicism after the Zach Wilson led blowout of the Pats, and we can all join forces under the same flag. We just need for the wind to be manageable, or for Cheapskate Woody Johnson to install a dome.
Our defense severely underperformed last week, now playing at home, with the Pats OL having to deal with road crowd noise for the first time we should be able to feast. This is the weakest offense we will face all year, this is our best chance for a shutout.
Watching it live i thought he played very well in a offensive gameplan that was taylored to be safe & conservative. Not to mention the o-line was horrific. This will be the hardest defense he will play all yr. He looked confident & decisive
They were horrendous. Let’s hope this is a building block
Yeah 147 yards of offence is elite
@makeluck3659 nvr said it was elite Zach Wilson is consistently inconsistent you will see spurts of good and spurts of bad you see the talent then you also see the he's a BUST factor. Is what it is
This is why I really feel that today's NFL throws 1st round QBs in too early. I remember the days when QBs sat behind veterans and learned the game. The best thing that happened to Steve Young was being traded to San Francisco to sit behind Joe Montana. Brett Favre was traded from Atlanta to Green Bay and sat, shortly, behind Don Majkowski (not a great player, but was the starter). Both of these players were considered busts with their first teams, but got moved and sat behind established starters. The Jets were able to do something similar, but in reverse, by getting a future Hall of Famer to help Zach Wilson. They either did it to help groom Wilson because Rodgers doesn't have as much time left to give or to increase the trade value of Wilson. Either way what they did could prove invaluable. (By the way, I am not trying to suggest that Zach Wilson will become the next Brett Favre or Steve Young by any means.)
Couldn’t agree more with your assessment, Luke , Zach isn’t the issue with this offense it’s the O line .
Yep, really was. Thanks man
Love this🙌🙌 really shows that Zach has improved a lot. Can you make a video breaking down the Offensive line problems?
Coming tomorrow. It’s OL and Hackett putting Brown in a bad spot vs Parsons
I think Zack gonna be our franchise qb he has gotten better along with his confidence . give him better protection zach will be byu zach. .
Once again, right on the money. Thanks, mate.
Appreciate you watching
Great video! I think he shows vast improvement this season with any decent Oline play
Therapy. Thanks Luke!
I gotchu 😂
You Are So Correct I Just Told The Wife I Put Our Life Savings House Kids And Dogs On Zach Wilson Leading The Jets To The Playoffs I'm Totally Confident Thank You For Reassuring Me
That throw to Allen Lazard blew my mind. Too bad it was out of bounds. Besides the bomb he threw on his rookie year against the Titans. His passed to Lazard was impressive.
You’re really good to make Wilson look good
Very fair evaluation of ZW's play Luke. I dont think most of the knowledgeable fan base would put this lost on him. It would still be nice if he would have avoided the INT's just so the haters dont have anything to chirp about. If he plays this week against NE like he did most of the last game, we'll win. Just hoping it's not a monsoon.
For sure, would rather it be cleaner but when it’s the end of the game and it’s dead, I just don’t care as much as most. Don’t bother dinking and dunking
The last interception was one of my favorite plays - i want more shots downfield - i believe GW will come down with more of those than he misses. Good decision by Zach to attack deep - I bet A-Rod was in his ear about how to throw that ball in the future
Was nice play design. Other than that, woeful day for Hackett
I hope you’re right. It’s so difficult to see him trashed in the media so often
Yeah I get what you mean. It’s rough
Great video Luke. Context matters, I'd rather have a QB go down slinging it than giving up on the game and throwing check downs to preserve a stat line. 3 picks against the Cowboys this past week is very different than 3 picks against the Pats in a close game last year.
Zach can't throw 3 picks today against the Pats. The stat line should suffer today, the weather is terrible, but the media won't take that into account - it's OK when Burrow throws under 100 yards in similar conditions - and to be fair the context is different because Joe Burrow is a great player. Zach doesn't have that room for error.
We're looking for tangible improvement from Zach, expecting instant fantasy stats is unrealistic, nor is it the goal. Today's game should be tough against the Pats, bad weather or not. People are ready to pounce on Zach each week, regardless of the tape or the context. That being stated, Zach needs a win today in the worst way, a win and a decent performance can help secure his starting job going forward, and give him much needed positive momentum. A bad performance could mean the end of the Zach Wilson era, regardless of the context.
For context, Zach has taken steps forward, and needs to continue to improve in some areas. He needs experience to accomplish this. Today's game is crucial.
For context, I'm a Jets fans and root for our players to do well, and I choose to look at potential. I wanted Rodgers to start all 17 games this season. That's not the case, let's root for the Jets on the field. Zach may end up disappointing, but he has way more upside with his talent than any of our other options. Some young quarterbacks need patience as they learn to be NFL QBs. Geno was a bust, so was Steve Young and Vinny Testaverde, right?
I'm happy to see the shift in the offensive line. Go Jets!
His footwork looks ages better from last year.
Couldn't agree more. I thought this was probably the best game of his career. I can't stand watching him play generally but this was watchable for the most part. I saw real growth as well.
I think the Tampa game his rookie year was #1 but there was so much to like.
Thanks for watching
Agreed, the Tampa game was great for him. Gave me a lot of hope. This may be more sustainable if he can harness it and not succumb to the tendencies that make him throw away the game. @@PlayLikeAJet
The 3rd Interception isn't just on the trajectory of the throw. The Jets have the perfect call with double stutter go's on the boundaries against single high man. Instead of eyeing GW down the entire route, he needs to trick Hooker with his eyes because if he looked off Hooker towards either boundary, both receivers won their routes and he get his choice of which receiver to throw to for a touchdown. It's little nuisance like that, that Zach hasn't gotten yet. Yes his accuracy has improved but teams are going to dare the Jets to beat single high man and he hasn't shown the capability to do so
Zach has been good with holding S’s. He could have but that’s an easy throw to me still. Without any of that
@@PlayLikeAJet The point is, that throw becomes a layup if you just look off the safety. I get he was pressing but that was an easy TD that went for an interception because he skipped simple steps. Hooker should've been out of the play entirely
I’ve been a Bills fan for over 55 years, watching of course my team but also the rest of the teams in the NFL for that long. In my opinion, you can watch the All 22 for all of 24 hours non stop and cherry pick all the positive plays Wilson made. He will never be a consistently great NFL starting QB. Today he goes up against his clone, Mac Jones, and the Pats. My prediction is he will absolutely be the reason your Jets lose today and Saleh will be forced to bring in an experienced retread to learn the playbook and
replace Wilson as soon as
possible. Zach is still young so he’ll bounce around the league like Darnold and Mayfield, possibly win a starting job for a team with no rookie QB ready to go, as Baker has done (for the moment) down in Tampa. However he just doesn’t have that “it” factor to ever be better then that. Even as a Buffalo die hard fan I felt genuinely horrible for Aaron Rodgers when he went down Week One. However he was brought in because the Jets organization knows that Zach Wilson is not the answer.
"Drops his eyes and finds the checkdown". Is this a common feature of play design, to put the checkdown on the same vertical plane as the primary receiver? Makes a lot of sense!
Some offense stress vertical planes more than others. It’s something Hackett could do more.
Nice pickup though
Yes we know! Zach Wilson is absolutely tremendous! That is why the jets score so many points with him as qb with the good weapons they have on o(and yes,I know o line is subpar). Memo: these guys are nfl qbs. You can cherry pick a few plays for even the worst of the worst that make them look stellar. You can take an mlb hitter who hits 8 homeruns all year and create film that makes him look like Barry bonds, but what is the point? Look at the preponderance of the results, and what speaks the loudest about a player is the team's game plan around that player and what they ask him to do. No one with even a modicum of football knowledge can look at the jets offensive game plans and think they think he is even an average qb
I thought Zach played well until the game was out of reach in the 4th quarter and he started playing hero ball. He was much better than he was against the Bills.
The growth was definitely there but the glaring downside is his inability to convert 3rd downs. The o line is a factor but there were a few times where he didn’t see wide open receivers for easy conversions but forced it elsewhere. If the o line gets it together I like Zach going forward
I think the concern is the mistakes that he was making too many of in the past were being made again. That one interception you showed when he rolled out to his right, the ball should’ve been thrown out of bounds as soon as he was outside of the box.
Here’s where context comes into it. You can’t throw the ball away down 20 points with 8 mins to go. You gave to score 3 TDs. You have to push.
Also, he’s been flushed out of the pocket after 1.5 seconds.
Just not important to me
Down 3 scores with less than 10 minutes left in the game. Against a monster pass rush you cant keep throwing the ball out of bounds that late in the game. Best case scenario you get in FG range and put up 3 pts, and with the way the Dallas offense had been marching up and down the field those 3 pts mean nothing. He had to try to make something out of nothing.
@@PlayLikeAJet you know what? That’s absolutely fair enough.
@@Mafaldine also absolutely fair enough
Also like the last play of the first half where Lawrence hit his arm on a throw to GW that should’ve been a TD. It was a great step up but bad protection
Babe, wake up. A new Luke Grant Film Breakdown dropped!
Haha thanks for watching
I'm with you on this. The cowboys are probably the 2nd best team in the league. The offensive line could not protect him yet the jets still scored points. The defense ran out of gas because the offense couldn't stay on the field. Still he needs to improve.
Cowboys are legit elite but tough to have a good stat line when you’re pressured on 60% of drop backs
He played well making some very elite pass plays. The c-staff may be an issue here though.
How do you get access to all-22 film?
I agree with you Zack synopsis!!
Loved his game before the end but if he looks to the right after that pump on the last throw, his receiver is wide open
It’s not a multi read concept. You don’t come off Garrett when he’s open
He needs to stop overthinking. He torqued that deep ball well (Hail Mary). Mix in some pistol plays from college with quick pass from Hackett. Use the run but don’t rely on the run. It’s the element of surprise- toss out jet sweeps te curl deep shots ✅
Zach is light years ahead of where he was. The offensive line needs to improve or Zach isn’t gonna be physically able to finish the season, let alone progress as a young QB.
Yep, completely agree with that
Never seen a guy hated on more than Zach. It’s sad. My worry is… I fully believe he has improved. But I hope his confidence didn’t die a bit with those 3 INTs. And this week won’t be his saving grace. No QB does well in a tropical storm
I was shocked Zach played well before down so many points. The defense and OL were trash. I'm not a Zach fan, but he wasn't the issue in this game. ✈️✈️✈️
Great video he best on CZcams good luck sanding our prayer Toby family
For job good luck
Need more content, you called this perfectly while the others have no clue
One thing this video needed to show tho was him missing baaadly on open guys for 3rd down early in the game multiple times. He had a MUST take check down to I think Michael Carter on the first drive and held it. Those are tye difference bt a 170 pass yard, 10 pt, bad game and a 20 point, 225 yard actual nfl performance, keeps the dallas offense on the sideline, etc.
He takes that one last big growth step and he's legit
Edit: yup 1st half vs patriots he has apparently been fools gold. Zw is constantly not seeing or throwing open guys. Oline can't block a soul in run game. NEGATIVE YARDS after a quarter....AGAIN.
Do another film review on Lakin Tomlinson people really killing him.
And Duane Brown
Good commentary
that kids gonna be great
What was Hacket thinking? There are ways to take advantage of an overly aggressive pass rush.
Where were those plays?
Rex Ryan was being interviewed by Stephen A Smith. They both said the same thing. Where was the in game adjustments to slow the pass rush? It was non existent.
You tire out an aggressive pass rush with screens and misdirection runs. They were non-existent.
Wilson needs to protect himself and call his own plays at the line when the microphone gets cut off.
You forgot to mention he had a TOUCHDOWN to G Wilson at the end of the half, but the ball was tipped at the line of scrimmage due to no pass protection. Also that interception could’ve been a TOUCHDOWN, all he had to do was look off the safety on the other side of the field.
Yeah could have used his eyes better but he’s better pretty good at that on the whole so far this year. Play before half time was such bad luck
Cam to the jet's 🙏💵🤑
Ooft, pass
Correct thoughts. I think one of few that pinpoints fact, rather than overblown emotions. Team was flat, Oline has been terrible for 3 years. He got key 1st downs using his feet. Lets not forget a key drive that Cook fumbled away, as they were moving forward. Yes, he threw interceptions at the end. Roger's has done that, too. Had Roger's played, he would have fared no better and could have gotten hurt then.
I always try to. Sure this is a positive take but it’s just what the tape said to me
He looked as good as anybody we had Sunday since Chad Pennington... Much improvement
Good analysis but he should've thrown it away on that first INT play but I understand they were down almost 20.
Also the last INT, he should've stared at the receivers on the other side of the field to fool the high safety at the center of the field to move towards the bottom of the screen and then turned his gaze to the other side and launched it cuz that would've been a TD had he done that
Im agreeing with you. I think zach will be great. Watching our O line get wrecked its amazing he completed anything
The thing is, he doesn’t even need to be great. Play like the 15-20th best QB in football and the Jets win a playoff game this year.
But the OL and D needs to step up
I been sreaming Zach is not the problem all week..Most people don't appreciate the fundamentals of the game..He's gonna be a beast..Duan Brown is not practicing due to injury...but he's gonna start at LT even though Big Ticket is the best LT on the team...Where is the Jet sweeps..Hardman is good at those..the WR Screens, Lazard is good at blocking those, Tippman and AVT are good at pulling and getting to the second level...but they're not doing any of that...and GW and BH both dropped passes...No help..Like I actually see Zach improving and that is amazing considering the JETS have never developed a QB.
This Sunday I don’t hear see anything but win Mac jones my neighbor or pats fans here shit I go though Zach Wilson u better win 🥇 or out bye 👋
I’ve been waiting for this and I was correct from what I saw .. Zack improved and last year I didn’t support Zack at all.. but I see the growth.. time to Insert Rucker in there…
You’re spot on about Ruckert vs Uzomah man.
Thats what I mean, man. THANK YOU. Everyone always blames the QB. Zach improved in my opinion. He played well. The left side of the offensive line is jelly. Aaron Rodgers was hurt behind this line! It doesnt matter who's standing there... put fuckin' Tom Brady there and he's gonna get cut down, too!!
Haha I appreciate you watching
R u going to put out a chiefs video, I think that could be big exposure for you
Back from being away tonight. Itll be ok the way
Zach must go!
Not gonna lie, if Corey davis is on that touchdown pass to gw, he drops that ball 9/10 times
Last play, Lazard had the 1v1 and got open. Agree with everything else
That’s a pre snap read though. You’re doing to Wilson pre snap and hoping he wins.
It’s not a read the field type deal
Zach played very good, if he was on the 49ers he would be a top 5 nfl QB.
Jets O-line pass protection is trash and their is no creative play design scheme.
Sorry I can't agree that this is a good performance when Zach Wilson has only 170 yds passing in a game where they didn't run the ball.
I admit he can make some good and some great plays.
While most back up QBs don't gain any positive yards, I feel the encouragement.
However Zach Wilsons stats on this day are only good enough if the Jets had run for over 200 yds.
If you want to baby Breece Hall because of the O-line, that's wise. However ground and pound Dalvin Cook and Michael Carter.
If you can accept three interceptions then you should also accept multiple three and outs where you run the ball on every play.
Also I believe if Chris Streveler was playing with this same O-line, you would get more positive yards consistently from the run so why can't Wilson hand the ball off enough.
Hackett is to blame for under use of the Rbs.
If people are saying that Zach is the reason why they are losing? They are not paying attention
that the Jets OLine is made of tissue paper. AR went down because of the weak OLine not so
much in the last play but its the plays that led to him being out for a season. The Oline problem
wasn't fixed in the off-season AND still remains the biggest concern.
Yep, much much bigger issue
I agree again! He has got the tools..he needs 1-2 more seconds of protection!
lmaoooooo
@@I_Like_Turtle390 Forget it..Jets are inept! We have been sold a bunch of junk!
You're right that he's shown growth, but he's also not the answer to the problem at QB and I don't think he can become the answer for this team. That said we'll get to see him the rest of this season and see how he continues to grow and progress. But the simple truth is you can't get too excited over baby steps when the kid is 3 years old now. Are there other factors in play? Absolutely, does he deserve all the blame? Absolutely not, but would it be wise to waste another year after this year on trying to prove that he has talent if he doesn't show it this season when it's all on him to help this team take that next step? No it wouldn't be wise, because your window with the current talent you have is already closing the second it opens in the NFL.
Ask yourself how well Aaron Rodgers would have fared in 2007 playing behind this offensive line. My guess is not much better. Perspective is extremely important when judging what kind of future a player may or may not have in the NFL.
Should've went to other side of field on 2nd int single coverage
