Falling into the glory of quarterback and instant media cherished by Sam Darnold's debut and a Jets win at Week 1 on the Lions, it seems like a long time ago.
As a result of the second consecutive defeat of New York – this was considered a collapse by the Jets who lost 14 points in advance before bowing to the Browns, 21-17, led by Baker Mayfield. – The triumph of the opening season seems to have been forgotten.
And that's Mayfield, the No. 1 choice in general, much talked about in New York City than the first round of the Jets, Darnold.
Just ask New York City security Jamal Adams.
"We had to be open to knowing that Baker could come in, but we were prepared for Tyrod," said the 2017 first round pick on the WFAN "CMB" series on his weekly appearance by Brian. Costello. "When Baker came in, it was obvious we did not have a game plan for him, but he did, he came in, he definitely played the lights. and we just could not get it back. "
If you dissect those feelings, there is a bit of contradictory light.
Adams thinks the Jets should have been "open" to playing Mayfield, but "obviously" they did not practice for him.
Whether a media storm has been created or not, thinking about a team – on a short week, no less – would be a bit suspicious for the game plan of a quarterback. Especially considering that the backup had never played a NFL regular season contest.
So, unless Jets coach Todd Bowles and Co. wants to watch a college football game or relive a season of Hard blowsThere was not much to do to prepare Mayfield out of the bench and make her NFL debut.
Heck, when that happened, Adams did not even know that the Browns quarterback, Tyrod Taylor, had suffered a concussion.
"We did not see it happen, I'm just honest," he said. "I did not find out that Tyrod had a concussion before the match, I thought they had eliminated him, injuries happen and the next man is up to the task. were not prepared for [Mayfield].
"They are very similar guys in the way they can move in the pocket and throw the football at the same time, we have respected our game plan, Baker has come in and he has played phenomenally." Hat to him. "
In reality, the game was a perfect storm of negativity for the Jets.
He had all the attention and concentration of a Thursday night. The victory of the Browns, one of the many prognostications despite their long struggles, had a series of 19 victories without a win. Mayfield caught the spotlight and shone. Even Bud Light was involved. As a result, the scenarios were plentiful and the persistence did not diminish for the Browns, nor did the Jets recover from the hangover.
The Jets, however, have a herculean task ahead of the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday.
Led by one of the defenses, if not the most important in the league, the Jags are probably enthusiastic about facing a QB rookie while they are also looking to recover from the odds. 39, a defeat against Tennessee.
Jacksonville quarterback Blake Bortles has also surprised some with his play this season. If by chance Bortles leaves the game and Cody Kessler emerges, will the Jets be ready for him?
Probably not and it probably would not be a story. But while Baker Mayfield Mania is booming, almost any mention of him will cause a sensation.
