Jets Offense: Glenn's Improvement Plan – A Fan's Perspective

Okay, Jets fans, let's talk turkey. The offense last season? Rough. Real rough. But I'm seeing some potential with the changes, especially with the focus on improving Mekhi Becton's performance. I mean, the guy's got potential, right? A mountain of a man, but consistency… that's been the issue.

My Personal Mekhi Becton Story (and Lessons Learned)

I'll never forget the 2020 draft. I was glued to the TV, practically vibrating with excitement. When the Jets picked Becton, I thought, "Finally, a franchise left tackle!" I immediately bought his jersey. A HUGE mistake, in hindsight. I mean, he was good in spurts, but injuries? Dude's been a walking injury report. It was like watching a slow-motion car crash – frustrating as hell!

I learned a valuable lesson that day: Don't get too hyped about draft picks before they even step on the field. It's like investing in a hot stock without doing your research – you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Sure, Becton has the raw talent; that's undeniable. But talent without consistency is just… potential. Wasted potential.

Glenn's Plan: More Than Just Blocking

Coach Nathaniel Hackett's offensive scheme isn't just about protecting Zach Wilson (though that's a big part of it!). It's about creating balance. I've watched a lot of game film—okay, maybe more than I should admit—and it’s clear Hackett wants a multifaceted attack.

Key Components of the Plan:

• Run-Pass Balance: The Jets can't just rely on the pass. They need a strong running game to keep defenses honest and set up play-action. Remember, a strong running game keeps the defense guessing, buys extra time for the quarterback, and keeps the whole offense fresh and prevents burnout.
• Offensive Line Stability: This is HUGE. If Becton can stay healthy and perform consistently, and the rest of the line gels, that's half the battle won. It starts with training, consistency, and possibly a healthy diet. These guys need to focus and avoid injury. The line's performance directly impacts Wilson’s ability to make plays.
• Utilizing Play Action: With a functioning run game, play-action passes become more effective. It's deceptive and can catch defenses off guard. It worked pretty well at times last season, but more consistency would be great.
• Tight End Involvement: The tight ends need more targets. They're usually reliable receivers and can be huge parts of the short passing game. It’s a simple way to generate yards, especially crucial for short-yardage situations and the red zone.

Realistic Expectations & My Predictions

Let's be realistic. A complete offensive turnaround isn't going to happen overnight. But if Becton can stay healthy, the offensive line shows improvement, and Hackett's scheme clicks, we could see a significant jump in offensive performance.

My prediction? A noticeable improvement in rushing yards and a slight uptick in passing yards. It’s all about realistic expectations, folks. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But hey, a guy can dream, right?

In short, the Jets offense needs improvement in all areas, and the key to that improvement is consistency, better health, and using all available tools. It's not just about the players; it’s about the overall game plan, strategy, and the execution. It's going to take some time, but if Glenn and Hackett execute this plan properly, we could be seeing an entirely new Jets offense next season. Let's hope for the best and keep our expectations somewhat in check. Go Jets!
