The Jets season opened on a promising note

with a blowout win over the Lions in the year’s first Monday night game and there was a lot to like about back-to-back wins earlier this month Youth Marcus Maye Jerseys , but two straight losses have dropped the team to 3-5 at the end of the first half.Jets head coach Todd Bowles said on Monday that he feels the team is “closer from a chemistry standpoint and camaraderie standpoint,” but their on-field work has taken a serious turn for the worse.“The halfway point right now, it’s very frustrating,” Bowles said in his Monday press conference. “Like I said Marcus Maye Jerseys Stitched , we got to put our heads down and we got to correct this and we got to try to come out and win some ball games. The season is not over. Whether halfway through it, three and five, you don’t like where you are but we dug ourselves this hole, we have to dig ourselves out.”Bowles said he believes the team is capable of correcting what’s wrong and doing so would mark a difference from the last couple of years.It’s the third straight year that the Jets have been 3-5 at the halfway point of the season and they wound up failing to improve on that record in both 2016 and 2017. Bowles survived back-to-back 5-11 seasons Youth ArDarius Stewart Jerseys , but another year with a record in that range would make it difficult to argue that the team is showing the kind of progress that would support continuing the relationship for a fifth season.

Ohio State defensive end Nick Bosa, Alabama tackle Quinnen Williams and Kentucky outside linebacker Josh Allen also could be options for the Jets.Oliver was asked about the comparisons to Donald Youth Darron Lee Jerseys , who has won the past two defensive player of the year awards.“That’s great being compared to somebody who’s going to wear a gold jacket — it’s not if, it’s when he wears a gold jacket — because it’s something you dream about,’’ Oliver said, via Don Banks of patriots.com. “But you get in the league and then you’re going to have to see who’s better? Like Darron Lee Jerseys Stitched , who has the better production? I’m ready to compete with him, not be compared to him.”
