Bilal Powell and Rami Lavi are back talking about the New York Jets and wishing there were better things to say. Whenever Woody Johnson speaks, it usually means bad news for the team, and this week was no different. Woody openly criticized Justin Fields, saying if the Jets could just complete a pass that would be progress.
Bilal shares his thoughts on Woody’s history with quarterbacks, remembering when Woody used to ask why Mark Sanchez was always getting sacked. The conversation turns to how those comments create pressure on the coaching staff and the players about who should start under center.
Bilal talks about what real leadership looks like from a quarterback, the energy they bring, and how words mean nothing without action. Breece Hall is also part of the discussion as Bilal explains why being one of the top running backs in the league comes with responsibility. You cannot make excuses about not being the coach’s guy, you keep your head down and work.
The possibility of Breece being on the trade market is explored as well. Bilal closes out the show with his top three running backs of the week and a look ahead to the Jets vs Bengals matchup, where he expects Tyrod Taylor to have the team playing better.

Bilal Powell breaks down the game last Sunday, and it was bad football. Justin Fields had a terrible game, and Bilal says he played with some bad QBs. But what happened on Sunday was something else. Design plays for Justin to run if he is holding the ball too long. What are they telling him in the headset? Jets fans want to see better football. Check out this episode of Flight 29 with Bilal Powell and Rami Lavi.

Bilal Powell and Rami Lavi are back talking about the 0 and 5 New York Jets and the growing questions surrounding Aaron Glenn and his staff. Bilal says Glenn should have started the season calling plays himself instead of leaving that responsibility to Steve Wilks. Glenn insists it will take time, but the team continues to move backward instead of forward.
Against a Dallas team filled with injuries, the Jets managed only one sack against a backup offensive line while giving up wide open passing lanes all afternoon. The frustration continues to build as a team that could easily be 3 and 2 finds itself winless.
Rami and Bilal debate whether this mess comes down to poor coaching or a lack of discipline from the players. Bilal also talks about what it means to play complete football and why that mindset is critical for winning. He breaks down what he is seeing from Justin Fields and what needs to change to get the Jets back on track.

Rami Lavi is back on JetNation, flying solo this show to discuss the New York Jets disastrous 0 and 5 start, the worst in franchise history. Bilal Powell will be back later this week for another episode of Flight 29.
The script feels all too familiar, turnovers, penalties, mental mistakes, and missed opportunities. This week, it was Breece Hall’s costly fumble that set the tone early as the Jets once again unraveled.
Head coach Aaron Glenn was brought in to instill discipline and accountability, but five weeks in, the team appears to be lost. The defense is out of sync, the offense cannot stay on the field, and frustration is building in the locker room. With fans already questioning his approach, could Glenn be heading toward a one-and-done season if things do not change quickly
The Dallas Cowboys came into the game banged up with a long injury list, yet they rolled over the Jets and made it look easy. Momentum was supposed to be the theme of this season, but the only momentum the Jets are generating is in the wrong direction.
Is this rock bottom, or is there still further to fall? At 0 and 5, people are beginning to whisper about an unthinkable scenario, 0 and 17.
Audio and video of the full episode are embedded in this post.

Aaron Glenn and the New York Jets set an all-time NFL record for futility.  Not only did Glenn become the first coach in team history to start off 0-5, but he did so for a team that has yet to force a turnover on the season.  A first in the history of the league.
The box score would suggest that Gang Green may have been in the game.  You might look at it and think, “well, the offense wasn’t that bad”.  No they were not, and yes they were.  Dallas pounded the Jets 37-22 but led 30-3 late in the game before they took their foot off the gas and allowed the Jets to find the end zone a couple of times as Fields found Andrew Beck and Garrett Wilson for fourth quarter touchdowns.
Defensively the Jets had no answer for the Cowboys on the ground or through the air as Javonte Williams carried the ball 16 times for 135 yards (8.4 YPC) while Dak Prescott went 18 for 29 for 237 yards while tossing four touchdown passes.
Now the Jets head to London where they will face the Denver Broncos, who handed the Philadelphia Eagles their first loss of the season today.
 

Welcome to the very first episode of JetNation Flight 29, a brand-new show from JetNation featuring former Jets running back Bilal Powell and co-host Rami Lavi. This is more than just another NY Jets Podcast, it’s a place where fans can get unfiltered takes, insider perspective, and the type of honest football talk you won’t hear anywhere else.
For episode one, Bilal and Rami waste no time digging into the biggest concerns facing the Jets right now. The conversation starts with the lack of discipline the team has shown through the early part of the season. Penalties, missed assignments, and mental lapses have been a recurring theme, and Powell explains why that can’t continue if the Jets hope to turn things around.
The hosts then take a hard look at the struggles under new head coach Aaron Glenn. Powell doesn’t shy away from criticism, saying that so far, this rocky start feels worse than what fans experienced during the Adam Gase era. He points out that Glenn has to find a way to adjust his scheme to his personnel rather than forcing players into roles that don’t suit their strengths.
Accountability is the focus throughout this first episode, especially when it comes to the coaching staff. If the Jets want to right the ship, it starts on the sideline, and Powell makes it clear that everyone has to be held responsible.
 

With running back Braelon Allen expected to miss significant time due to an MCL sprain, the Jets will likely elevate third-string back Isaiah Davis to the backup role, but who becomes RB3?  There are plenty of names floating around on NFL practice squads so we thought we’d take a look at some of the top options.
https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/67979980/download.mp3
Donovan Edwards, Washington Commanders: The rookie out of Michigan who impressed for Gang Green this preseason is ripe for the picking as he sits on Washington’s practice squad.  He would obviously know the team’s offense and bring in a young back with starter potential with Breece Hall likely to move on after this season.
Audric Estime, Philadelphia Eagles: Currently on the Eagles practice squad, Audric Estime would be a more appropriate replacement for Allen if the Jets wanted to bring in another power back.  While not as big as Allen at 220 pounds, Estime was a tackle breaker at Notre Dame who was also decent in pass pro.
Gus Edwards, Free Agent: A bruising runner with has averaged 4.7 yards per carry for his career, the 6′ 1” 238 pound former Raven was let go earlier this year by the Chargers.  His limitations as a pass blocker may dissuade the Jets from kicking the tires, but his intriguing size and history of production make him a viable option.
The Jets could of course give Kene Nwangwu a crack joining the rotation as well but given his lingering hamstring issue, the team may not think adding to his workload is the best option at this point.
 
 

While the final score at Hard Rock Stadium would suggest the Jets were competitive against the Miami Dolphins, it certainly didn’t feel that way if you were watching the action live.  Was there reason for optimism early on?  Certainly.  Did the Jets do all they could to erase that optimism as quickly as possible?  They certainly did.

After falling behind 3-0 early on, the Jets steamrolled the Dolphins down to their own goal line with one running play after another.  Breece Hall, Allen and Isaiah Davis all saw carries out of the backfield as they appeared posed to take command early on.  Then it was Allen who, en route to what looked like a sure touchdown, coughed up the football on the goal line.  The Dolphins picked up the fumble, and marched down for a touchdown.
Instead of a 7-3 lead, it was a 10-0 deficit.  Nick Folk would connect on a career best 58-yard field goal before the half to make it 10-3 going in to the half, but then disaster would strike again.
Having already fumbled earlier in the day, Braelon Allen started off the second half by fumbling the kickoff away to the Dolphins and Miami capitalized with another touchdown to Darren Waller.  It was then 17-3, and the best the Jets could hope for was to not let the Dolphins run away with a multiple touchdown blowout.
Miami continued to lead throughout and appeared to let the Jets back in it on a Justin Fields 43 yard touchdown run, but Miami would counter with another score on a 9-yard run from Devon Achane.  It was another sloppy defensive play for the Jets as multiple would-be tacklers missed Achane as he found the end zone.
Down by fourteen with just a couple of minutes to go, Garrett Wilson hauled in a 23-yard touchdown pass from Fields but that was as close as Gang Green would get.

The Dolphins picked up the onside kick, ran out some clock and punted it to the Jets on a kick that would stop dead at the 2-yard line.  The Jets would try to lateral on a last-ditch effort to score, but came up short of mid-field.
Another loss now puts the Jets at 0-4 as Aaron Glenn joins only Adam Gase and Lou Holtz as Jets head coaches to lose their first four games to open a season.
Jets fans hoping for meaningful games in December have essentially lost any reason to believe before the calendar even hits October.
A few additional notes:
+ The Jets were hoping to get their offense going and did some things well.  Mason Taylor had his best game as a pro as he caught five balls for 65 yards.
+ Breece Hall averaged an impressive 5.8 yards per carry as he picked up 81 yards on 14 carries.
+ For the fourth time in a row, the Jets defense failed to force a single turnover.  Quinnen Williams did force a fumble, but of course Miami fell on it.
+ Don’t be surprised if Isaiah Williams is let go.  The little-used return man had a lost fumble before calling for a fair catch on the 2-yard line later in the contest.
+ Nick Folk was good on both of his field goal attempts.  One from 58 and another from 50.
 
 

It’s been a busy day for Jets GM Darren Mougey who lost a pair of linebackers to short-term IR, poached a backer from the Patriots and topped it off with a trade for some cornerback depth.  We’ll round it all up right here and now.
https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/67871956/download.mp3
Linebackers Quincy Wiliams and Marcelino McCrary-Ball to short-term IR:
Williams was announced first through several outlets and it wasn’t long after that that we saw McCrary-Ball’s name appear.  Both linebackers will miss at least four games which could sting for a unit that’s already allowing over 30 points per game.
Jets poach Patriots LB Mark Robinson:
With a sudden pressing need at linebacker, the Jets snag Mark Robinson from the Patriots practice squad.  Robinson has spent time with the Steelers and Patriots, appearing in 41 games, four of which were starts.
Jets sign LB Ben Niemann to practice squad:
Familiar with Aaron Glenn from their time together in Detroit where he appeared in 17 games last season with four of them being starts.  Niemann has also played for the Chiefs, Cardinals and Broncos.  He logged a career high 70 tackles back in 2022.
Trade for CB Jarvis Brownlee:
Brownlee was drafted just two seasons ago by the Tennessee Titans out of Louisville.  While he showed enough to start fourteen games as  a rookie, he has struggled badly with penalties.  He drew nine flags last season with three of them being for defensive pass interference.  In three games this season he’s been flagged three more times, with one being of the DPI variety.
One of Darren Mougey’s busiest days the Jets GM to date.
 

Always finding new and exciting ways to lose football games, the New York Jets managed another impressive loss today at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.  After falling behind big early on, the Jets climbed back to within a touchdown after Tyrod Taylor found Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard for a pair of scores.
https://api.spreaker.com/v2/episodes/67844634/download.mp3
Leading 26-20, the Bucs attempted a field goal that would give them a nine point lead with two minutes remaining, when Will McDonald blocked the kick, picked it up and ran it back for a touchdown, giving the Jets a one-point lead.
It was short-lived however, as Tampa Bay marched right down the field, aided largely by a big run from Baker Mayfield, before kicking a field goal as time expired and sent the Jets packing.
Head Coach Aaron Glenn said repeatedly that he was proud of his team’s effort and appreciated that they didn’t quit when faced with such a large deficit.  The Jets “fought their asses off” according to Glenn, who said that there are no moral victories, but explained that his team did some things well that he’ll be able to build on moving forward.
