For those Jets fans rooting for draft position above all, today was a good day. Anyone hoping to see improvement from rookie quarterback Brady Cook in his second pro start however, will be less enthusiastic.
Following a relief appearance and a start last week in which Cook showed some signs of life in his first NFL action, the undrafted free agent out of Missouri struggled mightily in his second effort.
Now, in fairness to Cook, we saw the return of dumb Jets penalties as Gang Green committed one infraction after another, repeatedly costing the offense first downs or at least moved them from short yardage situations to much longer distances needed to convert.
