00:00the Jets because they did have the lead going into halftime 1513. It looked like they were

00:09probably going to be able to pull off this game. We started to see some good things going.

00:13I mean, Bruce Hall was a freak. He had the ground game going for 38 receiving yards or

00:17just a little underneath that and then nearly had a hundred receiving yards before halftime.

00:22So what did you see out of the Jets offense? I think the box score when you look at if

00:28you look at the box for the stats can be very deceiving. You're seeing Rogers. He throws

00:33for 276. He's got a touchdown. He's got two interceptions and then you have three different

00:37receivers on the Jets going for at least 50 yards. We have Lazard at 58 Wilson 61 and

00:43then Breeze Hall going over a hundred and three. If you see that, that would be like

00:49you could say, okay, the Jets played. Well, they moved the ball on offense Rogers. He's

00:54finding different receivers. They have multiple viable passing, you know, pass catchers, but

00:58that really wasn't the case and they're put to a heavy pass catching or a pass a passing

01:04game script. So ultimately what I want to take away from the Jets is if their defense

01:08is going to continue to take injuries as they mentioned during the broadcast or saying they're

01:13thin on the back end when it comes to no DBS in the secondary, if they're going to be struggling

01:18on defense, the Jets are going to be constantly put into these passing game scripts and we're

01:22going to see heavy volume for a lot of their receivers. We're also going to see specifically

01:26heavy volume for Aaron Rogers, especially when it comes to the attempts, which I've

01:30mentioned before for Roger, he's up at 39 attempts and we saw some extended drives from

01:35the Steelers at the end of the game. He could have easily pushed over 40. So do I expect

01:39Devante Adams to only have 30 yards moving forward? No, of course not. He had nine targets,

01:43which was tied for the team high. So I expect it to kind of have positive regression where

01:48he starts to pick up more yards per target, more yards per catch, which is exactly what

01:52we saw from DK Metcalf, which we'll get to when we recap the rest of those games. So

01:55the point being, Wilson was great. Lazard was fine. Devante Adams wasn't. We're not

02:01going to see all of them pop off on an every game basis. I think we can continue to buy

02:05into Devante Adams. Some games I'm particularly low on Lazard or Wilson. Again, not all of

02:11them are going to have massive games every single week. So I think the Jets looked okay.

02:16They can't convert when they get to the red zone and the kicking is a mess for them. So

02:21all good stuff from the Steelers. Very mediocre to warning signs from the Jets. We have to

02:26take it by game by game and it's going to be extremely difficult.
