I think you guys are missing that people sub in for Hill and Waddle all game. While I'm sure all 3 will make it tot he field sometimes. OBJ will be coming in for them. They also missed 4 games between them so someone had to play those. Our other WRs got almost 100 catches last year with Cedric Wilson getting the most. Cedrick alone had 38 targets. Are you thinking we are bringing in OBJ and playing these other guys ahead of him? I don't think so.

What I am saying is that if OBJ is not reaching his metrics this type of contact increases the likelihood that OBJ will gripe when the QB throws to a different receiver.

I think it's better to have a #1 receiver on an incentive based contract, when it's the #3 receiver not so much.  Tua was very good last year at getting rid of the ball quickly, but that came at the detriment of him being able to go through his progressions.  IMO that leaves OBJ with only plays that are designed to go to him, and if Hill and Waddles are healthy that doesn't leave much for him.

Incentive based contract for receivers is a double edge sword, it has the benefit of paying a productivity player, but saving money on a less productive player.

Problems can occur if the player feels he is doing his part but isn’t being targeted enough, even without incentives it is not uncommon for there to be issues with receivers becoming disruptive because they feel they aren’t targeted enough.

[- West Coast trips are not together]

This is the worst schedule I can remember for several reasons.

- Not sure who we pissed off but Bye Week 6 is way too early. Bills and Jets is Week 12. Pats is week 14.  We will be physically beat up by years end.
- West Coast trips are not together
- Cold arse night game away on Thanksgiving
- No 1:00 hot game advantages. Only one of the 3 home game in September and it's against another Florida team.
- Final 6 games to finish season are brutal. 4 of the 6 are away and many are cold games.

The only positive I see is that we play @Buffalo early in November.

I don't like West Coast trips together, I think it's better to fly out and come back home; not to stay out in California for a week.  These guys aren't flying coach, they can have a comfortable sleep on the way back home.  IMO when teams stay in a different 3 hour time zone for a week it affects their sleep cycles for a couple weeks after.  Not to mention they only have two west coast games. The first is Seattle and it is followed by a Monday night home game against Tennessee, so they have an extra day to recoup against an easy team the following week.  The other is a Monday night game against the Rams, which is a little problematic since it creates a short week, but that is a home game against Las Vegas (most likely a weaker opponent).

I see a 13-3-1 record.

Every year, there's some decision where I just don't feel good about it.  This one is that the Jets have 6 Primetime games in the first 11 weeks. 

I understand that it's a big market and that Aaron Rodgers is a TV draw, but 6 out of 11?  They've had 8 losing seasons in a row.  They're the modern Cleveland Browns -- perennial losers that are supposed to be good every year.

They have to do those early in the season because by week #11 the Jets will be out of the playoff picture. 

Both Phillips and Chubb had injuries that in the past have typically taken a full year to recover from after surgery.  Surgeries and rehabs have shortened recovery times, but we shouldn't expect these guys to be taking the field until the middle of October at the earliest.

Listening to Omar and Chris Perkins discuss recent practices and it sounds like they don't expect either Phillips or Chubbs to be back for the first game. They said they expected Phillips to be closer to returning but that he noticeably limps more than Chubb. Still a ways to go before first game but considering the Dolphins slow return of players since McDaniel, it may be a while before we see either of them on the field playing.

Has there ever been a joint practice that wasn't between two teams that didn't have a preseason game?   

I believe it is set up so if you have 9 home games you have one home preseason if you have 8 home games you get 2 home preseason so it is always 10 unless you are the "home" team for an international game.

Not as of now. All scrimmages that I am aware of were between preseason teams but I'm not sure how you could work it out otherwise unless there was no game that weekend.

You may be right about the 10 games. I haven't been a ticket holder since the change so I really hadn't paid that much attention. 

They are already beginning to replace preseasons games for the players. The stars plays less now in the games than they ever have. While the games will remain unless the league moves to 20 games, the way they are played or valued by teams has changed.

As a season ticket holder preseason games truly suck as you have to pay full price for those games as well. You pay for 10 home games regardless. I guess sometimes its 11 now but the preseason games are included wither way. There is no discount even though the product is nowhere near the same.
