The New York Jets are located in New Jersey.
This is the first thing. The rookies season wasn't pretty. Troy Aikman was drafted first overall by the Dallas Cowboys in 1989 and went 0-11 with nine touchdown and 18 intercepts.
Aikman said he struggled as much as any new quarterback in the game's history.
Not everyone experiences the Aikman-Wilson troubles, which the former Cowboys star acknowledged by saying of Wilson, "Welcome to what has become a smaller club of struggling rookies at quarterback." Wilson was the starting quarterback for the Jets last season and he finished with a dismal 3-10) record.
Aikman is not down on Wilson's long term prospects. He did some research on Wilson around the time of the 2021 draft, and he was impressed.
Aikman liked Wilson a lot. I liked him a lot, from what I've seen of him. I didn't expect him to struggle as much as he did last year, but I think he has a chance to be a good player.
We don't give these guys a lot of time to relax. I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. Some of the success we've seen from some of the rookies has changed expectations. Ben Roethlisberger was able to do what he did.
In his first season as a starter, Roethlisberger went 13-0 and was named the starter.
Wilson's preseason consisted of nine plays, two of which ended with bad mistakes, one of which resulted in a torn meniscus and bone bruise in his right knee. The coach insisted that the game isn't indicative of the progress his quarterback has made.
Wilson's end-of-season evaluation will be based on his performance on the field. Wilson is going to be rusty when he gets back into the lineup. Will that happen soon? After only a week of practice, the return-to-play protocol requires him to play in a game. He underwent surgery 19 days ago.
Aikman knows how to relate. During his Hall of Fame career, the new color analyst for Monday night football had knee surgery.
It's still getting comfortable with people around your leg, but you're able to manage it better than other positions. Once he gets his trust back, he will be fine.
There are two The Jets are an older team than they were last year.
The average age is lower than it was at the start of the year. Last year's team was ridiculously young. The number of rookies is down from 12 to 9. The number of players with less than two years of experience has gone down.
Natural evolution is part of the reason for this. The general manager said it was a pretty cool group of youth and experience. There should be less swings of wild inconsistency with a more mature team.
There are three. Long-snapper Thomas Hennessy is the longest tenured player on the Jets. His age is only 28 years old. Do you think about that for a second?
There are four. Although he didn't get a lot of attention, wide receiver Corey Davis put together a strong training camp after reporting at 205 pounds, 10 pounds less than last year and his lightest weight since his first year with the TennesseeTitans. After an injury-plagued 2021. he felt quicker and didn't miss a practice.
He lost weight, but what is the key? The elimination of candy was part of the diet. Skittles and fruit snacks are things Davis likes to eat. People can relate to that.
He said that he lost a lot of weight.
Davis was unable to lift his leg because of a core-muscle injury. He missed eight games due to surgery.

It's free to create your own league.
There are five. Since the start of training camp in late July, Saleh has conducted 27 news conferences, but the name of Tony Adams was not mentioned until this week. Reporters didn't ask about him during camp and he wasn't going to give an opinion.
Adams was a free agent out of Illinois. They gushed about him. During a pre-draft interview with the Jets, Adams was asked what he wanted to do with his life after football. His reply was "no".
I want to work for someone.
He did.
There are six. Is it a case of mismatch? The lack of size at the safety/nickel position is a concern for the team. The Jets cut nickelback Javelin Guidry due to this. Against teams that rely on big tight ends, this could be a problem. The Baltimore Ravens are the first team to start it. Mark is 6 feet 5 inches tall.
There are seven. Seven of the 21 players who were cut by the Jets were claimed by other teams, a league high. The Buffalo Bills have a playoff roster and had four players on it.
The bottom of the Jets' roster used to be a breeding ground for players with marginal talent, but now they are being snatched up by other teams. The most popular player on the waiver wire was a tight end named Trevon Wesco. The Chicago Bears were the team he ended up with.
Lawrence Cager, a former wide receiver, was chosen over Wesco by the Jets. Other teams were surprised when he was available.
There are eight. The same doctor who did Wilson's scope did knee surgery on Mekhi. He will eventually return to the team after doing his early rehabilitation in L.A. Doctors feel good about his long-term ability to play football even though he is out for the season. Even though he's under contract through 2023, he's not guaranteed a starting job or a roster spot.
There are nine. Were you aware? The Baltimore Ravens and the Seattle Seahawks are the only teams that Joe Flacco has beaten as a starting quarterback. If Wilson is not ready, he will get a chance at the Ravens. Only two of the eight quarterbacks who have defeated more than one team are still active.
There are ten. The locker room was open to reporters last week for the first time since the end of the season. It's a new experience for the younger players, who went from locker rooms in college to news conferences in the league, but they're handling it like seasoned pros.
There are two new additions to the locker room, a chessboard and cornhole set.
