AFC Squad: Can New York Jets Catch Up In AFC East?

The Houston Texans are grappling with significant challenges on their offensive line, struggling to protect quarterback C.J. Stroud against stunts and delayed blitzes. Meanwhile, the New York Jets face their own hurdles, with aging stars like Aaron Rodgers and Devonte Adams not meeting expectations. Despite these issues, the Texans' defensive line, featuring standouts like Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, is making waves by pressuring opposing quarterbacks. This episode dives into the Texans' need to shield Stroud and maintain defensive pressure, while the Jets must show resilience, enhance their special teams, and find ways to disrupt Stroud's rhythm. The discussion also touches on the Jets' defensive consistency against stronger offenses. Will the Texans' defense continue to shine, or can the Jets find their footing? Tune in for an engaging analysis of these pivotal matchups.   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONYJets?sid=YouTube Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFL Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Bilt RewardsEarn points now by paying rent right now by when you go to joinbilt.com/lockedonnfl 5 Hour ENERGYWhat’s your Fan Fuel this week?!

On this Tuesday, buzz has started to pick up in the New York Jets fanbase about the idea of Rex Ryan returning as head coach. Ryan was in charge of the team from 2009 through 2014 and is a popular figure in the fanbase. Rex stoked the flames himself by expressing interest in the job in a radio interview this week. It's a bad idea. Rex will always have a special place in this franchise's history for what he accomplished in his first two seasons, but those fond memories are making fans and media members alike forget the flaws that were exposed in recent years. These flaws would make him poorly suited to handle the Jets' current challenges. The Jets simply should not consider bringing Rex back. Let's discuss why. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONYJets?sid=YouTube Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFL Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Bilt RewardsEarn points now by paying rent right now by when you go to joinbilt.com/lockedonnfl 5 Hour ENERGYWhat’s your Fan Fuel this week?!

The New York Jets are the biggest disappointment in the league this season. With a crushing 25-22 loss to the New England Patriots, the Jets' record plummets to 2-6, extending their losing streak to five games. This episode examines the 2024 Jets, labeled an "all-time failure" well short of the high expectations set by star additions like Aaron Rodgers, Tyron Smith, Mike Williams, and Davonte Adams. The discussion highlights the lack of team cohesion, focusing on how the Jets have become a mere collection of players rather than a unified force. As playoff hopes dwindle, the conversation turns to potential future strategies, including trading veterans before the deadline. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONYJets?sid=YouTube Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFL Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Bilt RewardsEarn points now by paying rent right now by when you go to joinbilt.com/lockedonnfl 5 Hour EnergyWhat’s your Fan Fuel this week?!

The New York Jets stink. It's that simple. This was hyped as a Super Bowl contender. It's not even close. This is a bottom five NFL team. How else do you explain losing to the New England Patriots? Last week we called this the word team money could buy. That might be underselling how bad it is. This team can't get out of its own way. It can't execute basic things, and its stars aren't stars. They are just a bunch of overhyped big names. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…🎧 https://link.chtbl.com/LONYJets?sid=YouTube Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNFL Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors! Bilt Rewards 5 Hour Energy BetterHelpThis episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
