What were your thoughts on Will McDonald’s performance vs the Titans? Is he ready to step up? Like and comment guys! Huge year of film coming up and I appreciate you 🫶🏼
His performance was not as good as his stat line. And he can’t run defend that well. Jermaine did it all and played 75% or more of snaps. He need to get Reddick signed.
This guy is my favorite Jets analyst. I wish he made more videos. I know we have Jets Media, Matt O-Leary, Green Bean, Buffalo, Central, Asman and many more guys, and their content is good but for me and my strategic mind I love film breakdown. Most of the other guys just go with the hype of their audiences. Keep doing what you do, young man.
Appreciate you. This year it should be 4 videos a week. My stance has always been, I want to be a value add. Lots of people are “talk back guys” but I want 6-10 min digestible content. And keep it neutral.
I attended the game in Tennessee. Your breakdown is spit on. Essentially, for the entire game, the entire unit generated very little pressure. His stat line is nice, but we desperately need more. We'll need everyone to step up. Will and Quinnen especially.
Very fair assessment of his play Luke. His stat line is the epitome of "did you watch the game?". Technically he had 3 sacks but realistically, he had one (a huge one). He was a complete non factor until the closing series. He did really step up. He should have gotten a holding call and a sack. Oline man dragged him down. We never get those calls. Another crazy thing is 95 was out of the game. I get they like to rotate but when game is on the line, how do you not have your best DLineman out there for all downs. Quinnen could have ended the game himself from the interior.
He has potential. I have a feeling he will eat some young tackles in the league's lunch with his finesse and speed but get dominated by the veterans. Let's hope the jets figure out a way to bring in Reddick so we can have a more balanced D Line. (Side note watching that Will Levis fumble again is objectively hilarious and how that was considered a sack for McDonald is even funnier)
Excellent breakdown as usual! I don’t know what we’re planning on doing but we can’t compete with 99 and 72 in the edges it’s just ludicrous to think we can!
I admit I wasn't a fan of the Will McDonald pick when it was made since it seemed to be a bit of a reach at a position the Jets were already strong at. I would be very happy to be wrong and Will turns into a star!
Yeah probably not one for this short week (only two days until we play again). But if he’s quiet again vs NE, I likely will. Don’t like his utilization rn
Luke, great break down as usual. The two things that truly concerns me about our Defense this short season is, 1st, our run Defense. Thomas is not that guy up the middle. He constantly loses to many one on one's while Williams is being double teamed. 2nd) in two games, who else is going to step up now that JJ is out for the entire season. This macho staring contest between JD and Reddick has to come to a end. Right now, other than McDonald, we don't have a pure rusher in the building. And to top all this off with a Cherry on top. Our Mike LB, slot corner and outside corner are banged up. This Defense didn't show much in the first half, Technically we should've lost this game. Thoughts on this Mate.
Yep, the DL is in a bit of trouble right now vs the fun and the pass. This week is going to need some more blitzes and schemes up pressures, especially if Carter is down too
I promise you at the end of the season he will have less than 20 tackles on the running back….i dare you to show me one highlight of him as a jet tackling a running back
hes too small, i dont think he is an every down player, i think he can be good, on passing downs, you can zsk him to gain weight, he will lose that speed
Love it, but your EDGE depth is thin. We need to S or get off the pot with Reddick. Ngakoue is a free agent who is a decent pass rusher they can bring in, but they also need a guy that is better against the run and not a net negative like Clemons. I don't watch film but every time I watch him on television Clemons is the slowest player on the field. The PFF podcast laid out "is Takk, McD, McGregor, and Clemons a championship pass rush?" I hope I'm wrong but my inclination is no. But WIll is awesome. Certainly looks like the right draft pick now.
@@PlayLikeAJet I keep thinking if we get off the pot with Reddick....like can we get a decent depth piece at EDGE. Because we are a one man, Will McDonald show right now. Maybe they can really get Takk going to help take the pressure off. But I am mad concerned about what we are rolling out there right now. Will be curious to see what they look like outside of their dominant performance against the Pats. They are known for having a bad offensive line.
I didn't see him cause that fumble..I disagree that's a win 1000%. Right place at the right time..his awareness to trip Levis caused that fumble..2..that was a total cheapshot by 2..lol..I bet he's gonna learn from all that you said.
He was literally trying to get off the ground and Levis tried to hurdle him. He had no idea. You’re allowed to chip the DE. It happened to Smith on MNF. Good Edge players identify and split
@@PlayLikeAJet Lol..I'm just giving you crap cus the rest of the DLine did nothing amazing all game. I think Thomas had a sack. Also giving our guy 99 credit for being a game wrecker knowingly and unknowingly. His spin move speed is unmatched. I learn from you Bro! Keep up the gr8 work!
Except he is awful against the run. Edit: after watching this video, he is definitely showing improvement in his form and his power game has gotten better. Just worried about the run
@@BC-pu2uq you didn't see him doing that in the NFL. Doesn't matter to me if he did it in college. I need to see him part of a defense that isn't giving up 5 yards a carry. To be clear, I'm a 40 year Jets fan and I would like nothing more than for WMD to prove me completely wrong.
@@jaylong4705 to be clear he can play the run in time and I’ve been a fan for 50 years. I watched along with Hall and others at ISU and he will get better.
The Jets are in lose mode for the PAts. there is no way they will get any pressure and they won't be able to stop the run either. SO its going to be a long day! If the offesne doesn't explode we lose.
I usually agree w your content but for 1 sauce Gardner doesn’t have ball skills . Period . He plays the hands too much sometimes as supposed to turning into a receiver. The same play McDonald pushes the QB in the pocket but there’s no interior help . That’s where the jets lack this year . The Dline is not playing complimentary football
He wasn’t being asked to have ball skills on that play. The safety is in position to make that play and Gardner is taking away leverage. Man idk, Will McDonald is 12 yards in the backfield on the rep, on the floor. He didn’t push anything
@@PlayLikeAJet in fact that’s when you are supposed to gamble the most . When you are playing underneath coverage with help over the top . I love sauce but it’s time for him to start creating turnovers
What were your thoughts on Will McDonald’s performance vs the Titans?
Is he ready to step up?
Like and comment guys! Huge year of film coming up and I appreciate you 🫶🏼
Let's hope so! 🤞
Never sticks his nose into a run play…like ever. It’s not a good draft pick. Wish we took the best corner in college and paired him with sauce.
He blocked me on instagram so I’m sure he isn’t watching what we say 😂
His performance was not as good as his stat line. And he can’t run defend that well. Jermaine did it all and played 75% or more of snaps. He need to get Reddick signed.

Appreciate you watching Gary.
Yep, whole unit needs to lift
Yea, I haven't kept up with the off-season changes; but the difference between last year's d-line and this year's d-line is very noticeable.
You’re a hater and a disgrace.
@@FavreianVengeanceabsolute clown comment. The DL is just as good. Learn football.
@@ladistar Looks like I hurt a fanboy's feelings without trying.
I’m hopefully about McDonald’s progress but we’re going to miss JJ so much.
He was great in the first half
Very fair assessment of his play Luke. His stat line is the epitome of "did you watch the game?". Technically he had 3 sacks but realistically, he had one (a huge one). He was a complete non factor until the closing series. He did really step up. He should have gotten a holding call and a sack. Oline man dragged him down. We never get those calls.

Yeah I think you hit the nail on the head re McDonald.
Honestly, I’ve hated the way the staff has utilized Quinnen to start the year
I was waiting for you to say:
Crickey ! What a strike 🔥
😂😂
I'm having flashbacks from when I was a kid watching another 99 run up field as the running back slides right by.😅
😂😂
He has potential. I have a feeling he will eat some young tackles in the league's lunch with his finesse and speed but get dominated by the veterans. Let's hope the jets figure out a way to bring in Reddick so we can have a more balanced D Line.
(Side note watching that Will Levis fumble again is objectively hilarious and how that was considered a sack for McDonald is even funnier)
He 100% does. I think he’s got tons of long term potential. Short term will be interesting.
Man you’re so right. Hilarious scoring
Facts is WMCD was our 1st round pick last year. He was drafted as an edge rushers. Its year 2. Time to find out if this pick was a good one or a bust
Please be a hit haha
Excellent breakdown as usual! I don’t know what we’re planning on doing but we can’t compete with 99 and 72 in the edges it’s just ludicrous to think we can!
Appreciate you! You’re right. Need more at edge
Love your videos. Always great analysis. Could you do one on how bad Michael Clemons is?😓
Appreciate you!
Might be able to next week, with the longer turn around
The JETS have been struggling to get off the field on 3rd down for DECADES!!
You can say that again
Basically saying we going to miss JJ big time 😢
So much 😭
Those spy abilities are gonna be really useful against Buffalo
Yep, the Jets have done this kind of stuff with Allen before, to great success
great coverage. I couldn't figure out how he got that 2nd sack, but that angle shows he managed to somehow trip Levis in that debacle. Baby steps?
Personally, he gets absolutely no credit for that play at all haha. But big time props for the way he finished and helped win the game
I admit I wasn't a fan of the Will McDonald pick when it was made since it seemed to be a bit of a reach at a position the Jets were already strong at. I would be very happy to be wrong and Will turns into a star!
Really counting on him to develop this year. I’m rooting for him
If it’s just WMD to the rescue…
We’re f’d.
Watch the whole video. There’s a question mark there for a reason. I’m very balanced here
Time has come to give opportunities to the 2nd team edge rushers on the roster. We may also need a trade for a run stuffer.
They got a fair bit of run on the weekend
Jets💯💯✈️
🤝🏼🤝🏼
“It felt like the Jets were going to find a way to lose this game” this guy Jets.
Did you watch the game? Haha
Can you review some Quinnen Williams film? I wanna know why he’s been so quiet
Yeah probably not one for this short week (only two days until we play again). But if he’s quiet again vs NE, I likely will.
Don’t like his utilization rn
I think JJ spin move is just a little more cleaner than WMD but i know with more playing time he will improve
Yeah I think the spin is the last thing he needs to worry about. The rest of the repertoire needs to catch up
Luke, great break down as usual. The two things that truly concerns me about our Defense this short season is, 1st, our run Defense. Thomas is not that guy up the middle.

Coach cotton will point that out .. learning lessons with will.. more game reps and he will improve
We’re really counting on him to be that guy for this year 🤞🏼
@@PlayLikeAJet he’s gonna improve .. he’s gonna go through his lumps like jj’s first year
I promise you at the end of the season he will have less than 20 tackles on the running back….i dare you to show me one highlight of him as a jet tackling a running back
I totally get it. It’s a concern. Utilization will be interesting with JJ down.
hes too small, i dont think he is an every down player, i think he can be good, on passing downs, you can zsk him to gain weight, he will lose that speed
To be fair on that fumble…shouldn’t that be illegal contact as the RB goes helmet-to-helmet?
Nah, they only call stuff at the LOS for hands to the face, not for contact, like in the secondary
Ok, let's talk about our Sophmore.
He’s playing in position in Saleh’s defense. See HUFF who’s having zero impact!
Huff had an impact here last year in that role so not sure that’s a great example haha
@@PlayLikeAJet He’s an average of 29 snaps and Fangio doesn’t seem to be sold on him. No impact thus far!
3 sacks in 1 game. Trending up.
Bit of a facade but hopefully he builds on it
i dont know if mcdonald can improve on the run, he might be too small, thats an issue, if im game planning, im running right at mcdonald
Yeah, those are real concerns
So Patriots win run at Will McDonald all game..
I think the Jets will only sprinkle him in a bit more tbh.
They’ll probably roll out more of Clemons, 93 and 91

So so thin.
They should have paid Reddick months ago, regardless of JJ.
Clemons has no been good. Your eyes are correct
@@PlayLikeAJet I keep thinking if we get off the pot with Reddick....like can we get a decent depth piece at EDGE.

I was very impressed but the jets run defense is very concerning to me. Hopefully he starts improving on that area. Love your channel man!
It’s definitely a concern for the Jets too. It’s going to be interesting to see how they respond
Thanks man!
Except he is awful against the run.
Edit: after watching this video, he is definitely showing improvement in his form and his power game has gotten better. Just worried about the run
I made quite a point of that too. I’d say this was a very fair review haha
Wrong answer! I watched the guy play for 4 years and he was decent on the run.

Need to score more than 25
Wtf lmao he got his pants pulled down.

Q needs to step up, he's been mid so far this season.
There utilization of him at Edge has been so stupid.
It’s almost like they should pay the edge they have sitting at home
On that "fumble" play, Will got a shoulder pad to the face mask. That's why he ended up on the ground.
That’s a chip you see 10 times a game in the NFL.
It’s not hands to the face, it’s never called
I don t buy it thta he will be a great edge rusher. He is too small too light and gets manhandled. He is not the future at this position.
I hope he is, but time will tell
You don't know football 🏈 and a casual
Will McDonald 2 more sacks to tonight
Will McDonald 5 sacks on season among league Leaders
