FLORHAM PARK, NJ—Cornerback is scary. Tight end deserves a star or two within the horror genre. Linebacker calls for Alfred Hitchcock or Wes Craven to take control of the situation.
The New York Jets’ current roster represents one of those clear-cut examples of a progressing NFL roster working alongside a football program intent on an extremely specific end max-ceiling result.
It’s enough to bring both angst and comfort to a rabid Jets fanbase that’s been unusually optimistic over the last seven months and change.
It’s angst because a few positions have been left bare to start the 2021 NFL season, and comfort thanks to the Joe Douglas regime opting to bypass any of the familiar shortcuts witnessed in Florham Park over the last decade.
