I’ll be straight with you Youth Nathan Shepherd Jersey , this was the hardest game I’ve ever had to rewatch. Towards the middle of the second half, I literally had to leave and get a slice of pizza despite not being hungry because it was painful to watch. I haven’t had this much trouble forcing myself to finish something on TV since Bojack Horseman released its new season (okay, that was pretty recent, but prior to that, let’s say the movie Compliance.) Watching live, somewhere around the end of the first half, I thought to myself, “The Jets are going to find a way to lose this game.” I’m not psychic, I’m not a pessimist, but I have watched enough of this Bowles/Maccagnan show to know that this team does not play complete games over 4 quarters, and no lead is safe. Just to drive the knife in deep Youth Leonard Williams Jersey , it had to be a 2 game losing streak heading into a week and a half without anything to wash the taste out of watching Baker Mayfield torching the Jets while Sam Darnold played miserably even by rookie standards. All you can do is hope that things will get better (thank goodness we get to play a team that narrowly missed the Super Bowl coming off a surprise loss.) Let’s just move on:Bronze Star: RB Bilal Powell (14 rushes for 73 yards)I have to admit, I’m a little biased with Powell. When he was drafted by the Jets, I misheard his name as Colin Powell and I’ve loved shouting Colin Powell! at the screen every time he gets the ball. That said, I’ve never really understood why the guy doesn’t get more love and why it always seems as though the Jets are trying to avoid giving him the ball. Even in a game where the offense totally imploded, Powell averaged over 5 yards per carry when he got the ball. He’s never averaged under 4 yards per carry in a season (not counting his rookie season with 13 totes) and his career average sits around 4.5 yards, which is better than some great backs like Le’Veon Bell, Frank Gore or Marshawn Lynch. He has 3 career fumbles (one as a rookie) one 742 carries and 199 receptions. I can’t remember him ever dropping a pass and he can be dangerous if you overlook him. He also pass protects quite well. This has turned into a love letter to Bilal Powell, but it’s really just because I don’t want to talk about the Browns game. Fine, on to the Silver Star.Silver Star: LB Darron Lee (7 tackles)Though he was part of a group that contributed to the second half collapse, Lee looked great during the first half. He had a couple of stuffs, got into the backfield when needed Color Rush Isaiah Crowell Jersey , and wasn’t a liability in coverage. Not many other players stood out, so he gets second billing. That’s really all there is to it. Gold Star: LB Avery Williamson (7 tackles, 1.5 sacks)This was a pretty good showing for Williamson, but considering how lethargic the rest of the team looked, that is easily enough to win a gold star. He looked pretty good even during the Jets second half collapse and managed to get pretty good pressure when rushing the passer. I really wish I could say more, but that’s about all I’ve got for our top performer. That speaks volumes about this game. So there you have it, three weeks in and the table stands:Darron Lee 4 points (2 silver)Avery Williamson 3 points (1 gold)Quincy Enunwa 3 points (1 gold)Andre Roberts 3 points (1 gold)Jamal Adams 3 points (1 silver, 1 bronze)Bilal Powell 2 points (2 bronze) FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Trumaine Johnson's tough first season with the New York Jets hit another rough patch.The team's top cornerback was held out of practice Wednesday for what coach Todd Bowles called "an in-house matter."Both Bowles and Johnson declined to discuss details of their conversation or why the player was kept off the field. Johnson says he "of course" expects to return to practice Thursday and play at New England in the season finale Sunday. "Me and the head man talked about it," Johnson said. "That's between us."Johnson is listed on the team's first injury report of the week as having not practiced with the reason being "not injury related." When asked whether it was a disciplinary issue, Johnson repeated his response about it being between him and Bowles.Because of a quadriceps injury and inconsistency Johnson has struggled at times to live up to the five-year Color Rush Kelvin Beachum Jersey , $72.5 million contract he signed with New York that included $34 million guaranteed. He has a team-leading four interceptions, but also has some costly miscues and penalties — including a pass interference call in overtime that prolonged Green Bay's winning drive last Sunday."Well, nobody had a good season because of the (team's) record," Bowles said. "But it's been up and down. He's had some good plays, he had some plays that he'd like to have back."Bowles also said he has no issue with Johnson's approach on or off the field."He's had a good attitude," the coach said. "There's nothing wrong with his attitude."Johnson left the Jets' locker room after the game without speaking to reporters, but apologized Wednesday for doing so."I was definitely upset," Johnson said. "But I took that the wrong way. I definitely should talk to you after the game — win or lose. That was my fault."With the game tied at 38, the Packers were facing a third-and-10 from their 40 when Aaron Rodgers' deep pass for Marquez Valdes-Scantling was incomplete. That would have forced Green Bay to punt, but Johnson was called for defensive pass interference.It was a spot foul, so it cost the Jets 33 yards — putting the Packers at the New York 27 — and setting up the winning touchdown pass by Rodgers to Davante Adams a few minutes later."They called it Youth Darron Lee Jersey , it hurt us," Johnson said.It was one of a whopping 16 penalties against the Jets for a team-record 172 yards.Johnson was expected to shore up the Jets' secondary this season after six years with the Rams, giving Bowles a No. 1-type cornerback to pair with Morris Claiborne, nickel back Buster Skrine and safeties Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye. The group labeled itself "New Jack City" during training camp and set a goal of being the best set of defensive backs in the league.Adams made the Pro Bowl in his second season and is one of the game's rising players, but the defensive backs as a whole have not had the impact they expected. New York is ranked 26th in the NFL in pass defense, with opposing offenses throwing at will at times against the Jets.Johnson missed five games in the middle of the season with a quadriceps injury that lingered for weeks before he was finally able to return to the field."With the injury and losing games, of course," the 28-year-old Johnson said when asked if this has been his toughest season. "But, it's going to turn around."The Jets are 4-11 and Bowles is expected to be fired at some point after the regular-season finale. Johnson thinks brighter days are ahead for him and the team because he has seen firsthand with the Rams how franchises can bounce back."I've been down this road before," Johnson said. "I don't like talking about my old team, but we were in the same situation — losing http://www.newyorkjetsteamonline.com/eric-tomlinson-jersey , losing, losing — and we finally flipped it. And, I believe that in this team, too."NOTES: Claiborne (shoulder/ankle), WRs Quincy Enunwa (ankle) and Jermaine Kearse (Achilles tendon), DL Mike Pennel (tooth), LB Kevin Pierre-Louis (shoulder) and K Jason Myers (left hip) all did not practice. LB Jordan Jenkins (ankle) was limited. … Kearse was selected by reporters who cover the team as the winner of the annual media good guy award, named after former New York Times writer Gerald Eskenazi. QB Josh McCown was last year's recipient.
