Jets vs. Texans Pre-season Week #1

Jets drop an interesting game in Houston. Here are the bullet points:

• Sanchez goes 6 of 7 with a horribly dropped pass.
• Greene showed a little life.
• Patrick Turner goes down hard with a broken leg.
• Mangold and Moore don't play because of minor injuries.
• Vladimire Duccasse looks like he has never been on a football field in his life.

The most interesting part of the game for me was watching Mr. McElroy play 3 quarters and throw 39 passes. He is a smart young man, and he knows what it's like to play in big games. He started out really rough and looked spooked. But, to his credit, he pulled it together in the second half.

We have some serious holes heading into week one vs. the Cowboys. Our O-line just got a lot weaker. And, we have no depth at TE. I am also not very impressed by LT or Greene. Shonn did have a nice 19 yard scamper in the first quarter, but he doesn't seem to run with passion unless it's in the post season. We need him to play his heart out every down.

I liked what I saw from the rookie Powell. McKnight also looks like a guy that can contribute in more ways than one. I hope with guys like LT and Greene ahead of these other young players on the depth chart their chances at making plays for us in 2011 isn't diminished. Even if Powell is our best option I am afraid he won't get the touches because of some-sort-of hierarchy on the depth chart. The best player should start.
