An inside look at Sunday’s Jets-Giants NFL Week 8 matchup at MetLife Stadium.
Jets-Giants showdown means MetLife Stadium won’t have any shortage of noiseOK, “marquee” might not be the most accurate description here. How about “mismatch?’’ Anyone not living under a rock knows about the Giants’ issues, based on poor play and rotten health. Alas, Andrew Thomas is not coming back this week to save the day. It looks as if rookie John Michael Schmitz can return at center, which would allow Ben Bredeson to slide over to guard.
Coach Brian Daboll characterized the Jets’ defensive front as a rotation of the front four “like hockey shifts.’’ Quinton Jefferson , Jermaine Johnson and Quinnen Williams will provide another pieced-together Giants line with repeated and pronounced challenges.The Jets do not give up much on defense. If the Giants’ defense of the past two weeks shows up again on Sunday, this will be a low-scoring affair. Punters, loosen up those legs.
“When I was drafted to the Jets, he taught me so much,’’ Quinnen said of Leonard. “Coming in as a rookie, he was a guy who had already been to the Pro Bowl. Taught me different moves, taught me different things on the field and off the field. He was an amazing leader and an amazing contributor to the player I am to this day. Great guy, great friend, great teammate.”The Jets average 18.8 points a game, 22nd in the league in scoring. The Giants are dead last at an embarrassing 12.1 points a game.
“I thought it would be a good first play,’’ Daboll said recently of that particular call. It was fun. Was it also meaningful? Perhaps Daboll wanted to get that play on tape for the Jets to look at and consider as they prepared for the regular-season encounter. Hyatt has been coming on with increased opportunity and his speed is legit. Gardner, the 2022 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, is not quite playing at that level in year No. 2, but beating him is a rare feat.
