‘Fitzmagic’ 2.0? How Minkah’s return can spark the New York Jets
The New York Jets leaned heavily toward the defensive side of the ball with their 2026 offseason moves. How could they not?

NY Jets’ Aaron Glenn has made a massive scheme change: Is it working?
Entering the 2026 season as the New York Jets’ defensive play-caller, Aaron Glenn seemed to have an established play-calling identity. During his time as the Detroit Lions’ defensive coordinator, he built a reputation as a man-coverage-heavy coach. That was over four years, too. It wasn’t a small sample size. Going into this year, there was ... Read More FOR MORE AT JETS X-FACTOR, VISIT NY Jets’ Aaron Glenn has made a massive scheme change: Is it working? | Jets X-Factor
Do NY Jets need a little more from hyped offseason pickup?
When the New York Jets traded Jermaine Johnson for T’Vondre Sweat, most Jets fans considered it a steal.

Bears yield get-right opportunity for two key young Jets players
Without a doubt, the most disappointing aspect of the New York Jets’ Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions was the pass protection. After a Weeks 1-2 stretch in which they had a case to be the best pass-blocking unit in the NFL, the Jets’ offensive line collapsed in Week 3. Geno Smith was sacked ...

How NY Jets’ Geno Smith can punish the Bears’ defense
Three weeks into the 2026 season, New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith has done everything fans could have asked for, and then some.

NY Jets can’t be exploited in this area for the second straight game
In their Week 3 loss to the Detroit Lions, the New York Jets told a tale of two halves in how they contained Jahmyr Gibbs, one of the NFL’s most explosive running backs.

3 NY Jets players due to see their production trend up
Save for the league’s most consistent superstars, every NFL player goes through ebbs and flows each season. Sometimes, the ebbs come within the first few weeks of the year.

Top 3 areas where NY Jets HC Aaron Glenn must improve
Aaron Glenn’s first three games of the 2026 season have been objectively better than the first three games of his debut campaign. The Jets are 1-2 instead of 0-3, and they look far more competitive and competent in the process. However, for a coach who now owns a 4-16 career record, the bar is much ...

Geno Smith’s start to his second stint with the New York Jets has been nothing short of outstanding.

Why NY Jets fans shouldn’t be surprised about this ‘underperforming’ group
One of the New York Jets’ few calling cards in 2025 was their special teams. Despite immense struggles elsewhere, New York had a historic year in that facet.

What NY Jets fans are probably missing about David Bailey
Relative to the lofty expectations of being the second overall draft pick, David Bailey’s first three games with the New York Jets have been somewhat underwhelming in certain ways.
