The New York Jets 2017 starting quarterback needs to be named now. Head coach Todd Bowles has been handling Josh McCown with kid gloves. The gloves need to come off if this Jets team will have any chance of succeeding and Bowles wishes to keep his job. With the New York Jets heading into their third preseason game. Predicted favorite starting quarterback Josh McCown has not been receiving first-team reps like he should be to get in sync with the New York Jets first-teams offense. In Thursday's final practice of training camp, two games before the Snoopy Bowl versus the Giants. McCown received only one rep and that came with Gang Greens scout team offense. In which he threw a 15-yard touchdown pass. All in all, Head Coach Todd Bowles's …show more content…
Week three of an NFL preseason is when the entire first team should be practicing with their number one QB before the season begins. It's when you want your offense clicking and cohesive to begin the regular season. One 15 yard touchdown pass in the final practice of training camp by the team's presumptive starter, McCown, simply is not enough. Not stating or knowing who your preseason's game number three starting quarterback will be is simply mind boggling. The ex Cleveland Browns quarterback said Bowles had informed himself and the other two signal callers on just how this weeks practice reps would wind up going. The player who received the most reps with the number one team this week was the Jets second year pro Christian Hackenberg. With that, is it safe to assume that Bowles's actual plan is to start the former Nittany Lion in the most important game of this year's preseason? The other assumption that comes to mind with Bowles's philosophy, is he wants to keep McCown injury free to start this year's 2017 season. Only the third year head coach would know those answers. With that conservative plan of thinking and coaching style, expect this to be a very long season for the New York Jets and quite possibly a very short one for head coach Todd Bowles. The only rhythm this offense has shown was the very first play of the preseason in which Josh McCown was playing with the first team, scoring this
The third-year quarterback will also have Danny Amendola, and newcomers Martellus Bennett and Chris Hogan — Garoppolo won’t have a shortage of options to throw to.
Todd Bowles uses a hybrid defense scheme. Utilizing both 3-4 and 4-3 defensive fronts. Bowles likes to use his outside linebackers to blitz and try and get after the quarterback. The middle linebackers are used as run defenders and covering TE, RB and sometimes slot receivers. Bowles likes to dial up exotic blitzes to try and fool the QB and disguise where the blitz is actually coming from. In Bowles’ scheme he likes to use large lengthy cornerbacks to play man coverage on the outside and in the slot. Bowles’ defense is dependent on having cornerbacks who have the ability to play in man coverage and play press coverage and disrupt the receivers routes on the line of scrimmage to enable the pass rushers the chance to get to the QB quickly. Bowles likes to have a big strong outsider backer who can play on the strong side and set the edge for running plays. The weak side backer is smaller
After the starting quarterback gets injured in the first game of the season, the second string quarterback is now the starter but unfortunately they lose the game because the backup throws way to many interceptions.
Now, although it’s rare for a rookie to take over the reigns of their new team during that first season, it does happen. Granted, most of the time it’s because the prospects for success evaporated. Since the team is going no where come playoff time, why continue to operate with a quarterback who is not the team’s future. This is the time many rookies get their chance, but for fantasy purposes, most still fall flat on their face.
Then we snap the ball over the quarterback’s head and give them 40 yards on a turnover, then they go down and score. It certainly was the biggest play for the first unit. There were some positive things, but you have to take care of the football or you are not going to win in this league.” So how much can we tell from a preseason game? I mean most people say that it is just a glorified practice. It is not starters that are playing or a true indicator of whats to come. However i will say that it does show what the teams focus has been in the off season. Issues that they have or haven't addressed etc. There were some key players that really excited me for the season however. Gus Johnson un-drafted rookie back scored on an impressive and powerful 5 yard
"I have thrown a lot at him, giving him a ton of reps," offensive coordinator Jake Spavital said. "I think the kid has the right mind set. You can tell that he has played a lot of football. He was actually a quarterback at Rice at one point and then he has been a receiver. He has played at the college level. Really right now he is trying to figure out the offense and all of the ins and outs of it. He can hopefully get out there and help us. I have been pleased with how he is so far, we just have to keep repping over these next two weeks and developing him and getting it to where he starts to think slow is what I’m trying to accomplish with him."
With the loss of starting QB Devin Gardner (1,896 yards passing, 10 TDs) and leading receiver Devin Funchness (733 yards receiving, 4 TDs), Coach Harbaugh starts a new era in Michigan football with a couple of junior running backs and a few returning offensive lineman as the basis of the team's 2015 offense. Harbaugh acknowledges this is going to be a rebuilding process and hopefully fans will give him time to employ his own experience. For now, his offense will revolve around two talented RBs who shared time in 2014. The team's leading rusher was De'Veon Smith who had a total of 519 yards and 6 TDs. He will be competing for playing time with Derrick Green who had 471 yards and 3 TDs. With 7 QBs listed on the roster, the starting QB role will most likely be determined by who is able to show leadership qualities during practice before the season starts.
The New England Patriots have had a well documented offseason and will be operating with Jimmy Garoppolo under center for the first four games of the season, instead of the incumbent Tom Brady. However, the Patriots have a growing issue that is being overlooked. Their injury report is mounting and has become a massive issue for the 2014 Super Bowl champions.

With minicamp starting up, there are a lot of storylines that a lot of people are looking forward to seeing leading up to the regular season. One storyline that is getting a lot of attention is the quarterback battle going on between Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler and Deshone Kizer who are all fighting to be named the starting quarterback week 1 for the Cleveland Browns. All of these guys have a lot of upsides and have a case of why they should be named the week 1 starter at quarterback but after all the dust is settled, who should come out on top of this quarterback battle and start week 1 against the Pittsburgh Steelers? Drafted by the team in the third round 96th overall, Cody Kessler had a lot of upside coming out of the Univerity Of Southern
But since there is only three quarterbacks trying out so he will be the third string quarterback. When he is trying out he wasn't doing the best and he was missing throws everywhere. Granger's other quarterbacks were doing well so nothing happened with the quarterback situation. At practice the next day and more he was doing
The Florida native has complete faith in Josh McCown. Bowe has been quoted saying that McCown has “all the potential of being a top five quarterback in the NFL.” “He’s making great throws, smart throws and he’s mobile in the pocket, more than people think.”
Essentially, Baltimore has been an aggressively mediocre football team since their magical postseason run in 2012 (32-34), which Flacco deserves partial blame for. Yes, the Ravens quarterback hasn’t exactly been provided with top-tier weapons to work with, but Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady have put up MVP-caliber numbers, while leading their respective teams to the playoffs during seasons in which both had much less support around them.
Jameis Winston left Sundays game with an injury to his throwing arm. Many have speculated that Winston stayed out of the game due to Coach Koetter benching him; That was simply not the case. Coach Koetter confirmed in yesterdays press conference that Jameis told him that he did not feel like he was able to drive the ball due to the shoulder injury.
Every Sunday during football season, there is one place I will always be, no matter what. As I drive down Lake Cook Road, I feel a sudden excitement. Sundays are my favorite day of the week because I get to not only spend time with my grandparents, but also watch our favorite Chicago sports team play for three hours. I have watched every single Bears game with my grandparents since I was eight. We have been through it all, from Rex Grossman as our quarterback to Marc Trestman as our head coach. However, recently, I have noticed something about our conversations during the games. We always debate whether the Bears should keep Jay Cutler next season. He has always proven to be turnover-prone, but has been clutch throughout the season. The Chicago Bears should keep Jay Cutler next season because he has proven to be one of the better quarterbacks in the NFL.
