Yet another hard to watch
game
Brian
Winters Jersey , yet another week where finding good performances in the
muck is a challenge. On days like these, it would be easier to take stars away
than give them out, but here we are. Let¡¯s look at some solid performances and
try to wash the taste out before what could be a tough Sunday against a decent
Broncos team:Bronze Star: WR Quincy Enunwa (4 receptions for 66 yards)There
really weren¡¯t many players to put in this slot. Even with his stupid penalty, I
have to give Enunwa credit for making some plays in an otherwise abysmal
offensive performance. The Jaguars may have the best defense in the league and
are especially strong against the pass, with probably the best 1-2 punch in the
league at cornerback (maybe a healthy Aqib Talib and Marcus Peters could be in
the conversation.) Enunwa got solid blocking on some short passes and turned
them into big gains. That¡¯s more than I can really say for anyone else on this
offense.Silver Star: S Jamal Adams (12 tackles)Despite a lot of pass coverage
breakdowns, I was still impressed by Adams¡¯ ability to fly around a football
field. After failing to stop the Jaguars even once in the first half, Adams
singlehandedly stopped the Jags first possession in the second half by
accounting for all 3 tackles. That is the sort of playmaking ability that the
Jets were looking for when they took him sixth overall last year. I¡¯m excited by
the growth he¡¯s shown this season and I hope he continues to develop into a
perennial Pro Bowl player and defensive leader.Gold Star: DL Henry Anderson (3
tackles, 1 sack, 2 PDs)Anderson has been one of the bright spots of this team in
a rough start. Despite playing a position that doesn¡¯t rack up stats and results
in a lot of substitutions, he¡¯s compiled 2.5 sacks, several tackles for a loss,
and a few batted balls. Despite the team forcing 3
turnovers

he¡¯s the only player I can say played a full game and made the most of all of
his snaps. Despite his perceived limitations when it comes to staying healthy
and rushing the passer, he¡¯s managed to project for 16 games and 10 sacks this
year, which has to make everyone rooting for the Jets pretty pleased thus far.
He¡¯s been close in all his games and he finally makes the list at the top
billing. So there you have it, four weeks in and the table stands:Jamal Adams 5
points (2 silver, 1 bronze)Quincy Enunwa 4 points (1 gold, 1 bronze)Darron Lee 4
points (2 silver)Henry Anderson 3 points (1 gold)Avery Williamson 3 points (1
gold)Andre Roberts 3 points (1 gold)Bilal Powell 2 points (2 bronze) Welcome to
the Spotlight. Here we spotlight one key player for each game of the season,
hopefully putting a different player in the spotlight each week. Today's player
in the spotlight is cornerback Parry Nickerson.Parry Nickerson is a 24 year old,
5' 10", 185 pound rookie slot cornerback out of Tulane University. Nickerson was
drafted by the New York Jets with the 179th overall selection in the 6th round
of the 2018 NFL draft.Parry Nickerson had a stellar college career at Tulane,
earning honorable mention All-Conference USA and first-team Freshman
All-American honors with 51 tackles, six interceptions (seventh in the FBS), and
six passes defended his redshirt freshman season in 2014.In 2015 Nickerson
recorded 46
tackles
Bilal
Powell Jersey , 3.5 for loss, and eight passes defended. He earned second
team all-conference honors in 2016, intercepting four passes and returning them
for 171 yards (fourth in the FBS). Nickerson also had nine passes defended and
posted 29 tackles on the year.Nickerson closed out an outstanding college career
with another six interceptions and eight passes defended in 2017. In the NFL
Combine Parry Nickerson blazed a 4.32 40 yard dash to further put him on the map
for NFL scouts. Nickerson¡¯s only downside was his size, which relegated him to a
slot corner role in the NFL. The Jets will have their #1 cornerback in Trumaine
Johnson and their starting slot cornerback in Buster Skrine both out for today¡¯s
skirmish with the Minnesota Vikings. That makes Parry Nickerson a starter at
slot cornerback, an unenviable task against the NFL¡¯s leading receiver,
Minnesota¡¯s Adam Thielen. With the Vikings struggling to establish the running
game all year, their offense depends on their two outstanding receivers, Stefon
Diggs and Adam Thielen to put up big numbers on a weekly basis. For the most
part the Vikings dynamic duo have been up to the task, with Thielen setting an
NFL record to start the 2018 season with six consecutive 100 yard games. Adam
Thielen operates out of the slot, making him the likely responsibility of Parry
Nickerson for the most part today. Asking a rookie cornerback to cover the NFL¡¯s
leading receiver may be a bridge too far for the Jets, but that is the position
Nickerson finds himself in. In addition, MetLife Stadium will be exceptionally
windy
today
Cheap
Sam Darnold Jersey , making the deep passing game difficult and putting a
premium on the short game Thielen thrives on. Today¡¯s contest against the
Minnesota Vikings presents the Jets with an opportunity to get back above .500
for the first time since the first week of the season. The Vikings have had
little success running the ball this year, and the deep passing game will be
difficult in the swirling gale force winds expected in the New Jersey
Meadowlands today. That makes Adam Thielen even more important to the Vikings
attack than he already has been as the NFL¡¯s leading receiver. Limit Thielen and
the Vikings offense should not present an overwhelming threat for the Jets. If
Parry Nickerson can hold his own against Thielen, a task clearly easier said
than done, the Jets should have a decent chance to emerge from this game
victorious. If, on the other hand, Thielen takes the Jets rookie to school, the
Vikings offense might prove too much for the Jets to overcome.Parry Nickerson,
ready or not, here comes Adam Thielen. This may not be the challenge the Jets
expected to hand you so early in your career, but this is the challenge you¡¯ve
been forced into.This is your time in the spotlight. This is your chance to
shine for the Jets. Time to show the world what you can do and help lead the New
York Jets to victory on Sunday.
