The campaign of New York jets It’s going better than expected just a few months ago. The team led by Roberto Saleh accumulate, with 6, the same victories compared to those collected in the last two seasons, and have lost just four games out of ten games they have played this season.
The positive balance of the team and the performance of some of its protagonists I am the face this season for the Jets. The disappointing performance de on quarterback, Zach Wilsonis to be the cruz of a franchise that has placed much of the future of the franchise in his hands.

What was the choose the number of of the 2021 draft is collecting a very poor second season in the NFL, and his record on an individual level they demonstrate that the quarterback does not live up to the expectations he generated when he left the university of the BYU Puma.
According to data from ProFootballFocus, Wilson is the worst starting quarterback in the league if we rely on the most important data to evaluate a player in this position. And he second worst QB in passing yards and that’s the number 34 (!) into touchdown passeswith 1278 and 4 respectively.
In his first 20 NFL games as a starter, Wilson pitched 13 touchdown passes and 16 interceptionswith a 70.7 in positive evaluation ea 55.6 % percentage of passes completed. The quarterback has a total of 6.3 yards per attempt.
The data doesn’t invite optimism, but it is field photo feelings that he is not a qualified quarterback to lead an offense in the NFL are mounting.
After leaving the project as one of best talents of the futurethe Jets didn’t expect him to be an overnight star, but they did they wanted to see a second year with clear improvements in your game.
In addition to poor touchdown passing numbers, Wilson continues to strive too many mistakes in their steps. The Jets quarterback has thrown five interceptions so far this season, some of which have left a mark practically comical on the field.

Zach Wilson appears, in some situations, to be unaware of the weight he carries on his shoulders, the reins of a team that wants to return to play after season.
In his last game against the Patriots, the quarterback managed just 77 passing yards, averaging 3.5 a throw, records that make it impossible for the Jets to set good jokes in attack.
Against New England, Wilson was once again the cruz of a team that exhibited (once again) its defensive powerone of the positive points of the team.

One of the best news from the Jets offense this season comes in terms of rookie. Garret Wilson (receiver) e Bryce Hall (runner), chosen respectively in position number 10 and 158, were two pleasant surprises for their technical staff.
Wilson accumulate 533 receiving yards and has already become in his first year in the league a problem for opposing defenses.

THE DEFENSIVE UNIT, THE FACE OF THESE JETS
While the offensive unit occupies the last positions In the standings among NFL teams, the Jets’ defensive unit is so far One of the best in the entire league. supporting the team in many of the matches with strong performances.
Jeff Ulbrich, New York’s defensive coordinator, built one of the best defenses in the competition. I am the defense 9th in points per game receivedthe seventh receiving yards per game (310) and are i fifth defense who receives the fewest touchdowns per game, with 2.
These numbers have made the Jets one of the toughest teams to oppose for offenses to attack.
Some of the best members of this unit are Carl Lawson, CJ Mosley and Jordan Whitehead, but this defense is unquestionably led by two players: Quinnen Williams on line and Gardner sauce in high school.
Williams accumulation 8 sacks and 38 tackles so far this season, and is emerging as a supernatural force to oppose offensive lines unable to contain the powerful hand and foot play of the rival defender in his fourth season in the league.

In high school, Gardner sauce is to be a nightmare for opposing receivers. The choose number four from past Draft is one of the best defensive players in the league so far this season, and leads the NFL in pass breakups, situations in which the The defender deflects the ball when it reaches the catcher’s hands.
Not only does he have a very powerful lower body to keep up with his brand, but so does he interprets the rival paths to a thousand wonders.
Ulbrich trusts his player so much that he sometimes leaves him isolated on the sideline in solo coverage with some of the best wide receivers in the competition. At 22, he cornerback looks like a veteran.
In his last game against the Patriots, the high school player returned to to exhibit in defence.

All these elements make the New York Jets one of the best unpredictable in this final stretch of the season, with all the spotlights on his full-back, who will have to demonstrate his ability to manage a young attack that aspires to dream of the playoffs.
Over the next three games, the Jets will host the Bears at Metlife Stadium and will visit the fiefdoms of Vikings and countstwo top contenders to reach the Superbowl.
