Jets’ obvious identity for shaky offense on display during preseason loss to Giants
NY Post
It would have been less obvious who the Jets plan to be on offense this season if coordinator Tanner Engstrand just shared snapshots from his playbook on the MetLife Stadium video board.
After giving up an early touchdown to the Giants on Saturday in their annual preseason matchup, the Jets ran the ball on each of the first 10 plays of a scoring drive, including one scramble by Justin Fields on a called pass.
Of course, Fields’ legs are a bigger strength than his arm, so that will be a possible offshoot of almost every dropback this season.
When Fields finally uncorked a pass, on third-and-2, it was to a tightly covered Garrett Wilson — who else? — and broken up for an incompletion as the Jets settled for three points on the second and last series for their offensive starters.
The Jets gained 47 yards on the ground and 5 by penalty before Nick Folk banged through a 38-yard field goal.
Welcome back to the Ground and Pound Era, which suffered a 31-12 loss in its infancy to the Giants.
