D.J. Reed just as ‘flabbergasted’ as Jets fans over spiraling season: ‘Doesn’t make sense’
NY Post
D.J. Reed can feel the fans’ pain. He, too, believes the Jets should be much better than 2-6.
“I know this season is probably crazy watching this,” the veteran Jets cornerback said Monday. “I know the talent of this team, it doesn’t make sense. I know that’s how the fans feel most certainly. I know they’re probably flabbergasted.”
That’s a good adjective to describe the state of the Jets, who were considered Super Bowl contenders by some entering the season, and instead now need a miraculous run in order to contend for the playoffs.
They have lost five straight games, three coming after owner Woody Johnson fired head coach Robert Saleh and promoted defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich.
That hasn’t solved any of their problems. The execution and discipline have still been lacking.
The defense has blown leads and hasn’t created a turnover in the last three games. The offense, expected to be better with a healthy Aaron Rodgers, has struggled to score points.
PHOENIX — Wednesday brought some cautiously optimistic updates for the Knicks frontcourt.
The Greatest Escape in franchise history was perpetrated by Glen Sather, when the general manager extricated himself and the Rangers from the final five years of Scott Gomez’s contract by moving the $7,357,143-per-year center to Montreal on June 30, 2009 after two years in New York.
The Yankees publicly are on the same page: Hal Steinbrenner, like Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone before him, said that issues with the club’s fundamentals did not hover over the team all season.
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
There will be a little extra magic for Knicks-Spurs on Christmas Day.
The quickest way for the Giants to climb out of quarterback hell is also the quickest way to extend their stay there for at least three more years.
The Lakers’ decision to keep Bronny James away from G League road games has sparked some debate about the level of preferential treatment the franchise is giving to LeBron’s son.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — The Rangers continue to flex their strength on the road this season.
One of Tom Thibodeau’s stated points of emphasis for the Knicks this season — to increase their volume of 3-point attempts to take advantage of their proficiency from the outside — is starting to come to fruition.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — It’s the best-case scenario for Filip Chytil and the Rangers.
