This would be a major mistake if Jones looks bad week 1 imo

I would agree about overreacting to a preseason game, the same way it was ill-advised to overreact positively to his one preseason game against the Panthers last summer.

What about Jones' 6 regular season games last year before he got injured though? Would it be an overreaction to be concerned about those ?

Okay then.

Either way, he knows he's out of excuses. So it's time to play and play well.

100000%%%%%

Yea 6 games last season were very bad .... But a lot of things were very different about this team

I think we deserve another game where Jones at the very least gets another drive or 2 behind this rebuilt o-line and Nabers out there

Joint practices are not remotely close to live action games.

Why is that so unfamiliar to Daboll?

To be clear, this is about live game reps to work together to form a more cohesive Offense.

I'm not a fan of three weeks off before the start of the season. The good news is that this year their first "warm up" games are against weak teams.

Apparently the coaches believe that a QB gets plenty of work practicing against their own first team defenses. Even if the Jet starters played, they would run a vanilla defense against our vanilla offense.

I agree with Daboll that there's nothing to be gained by using starters in a "game" with no intensity and with no starting offensive or defensive players.

IMO, yes.  The whole team was unprepared to compete.  I put a lot more stock in 2022 than 2023.  I'm concerned that by not playing Jones and starters for a half tonight it could be a repeat.  For Jones specifically, one half and a little bit is not enough to knock off the rust of 9 or 10 months of no game action.  I hoped training camp showed that Daboll had learned his lesson.  We'll see.
