Stop pressing: the New York Jets lose again. The Jets flirted with a potential upset in the first half, but familiar problems plagued them: penalties, settling for field goals, and dumb mistakes.
Instead of talking about a fourth straight loss in what looks like another garbage fire season, let’s focus on a positive, shall we?
David Bailey is a terrifying superstar. He finished the game with two sacks, three tackles for loss, three quarterback hits, and nine total tackles.
Bailey is third in the league in sacks (7.5), second in tackles for loss (11), and is first in the league in forced fumbles (five).
It is a foundational building block for the next decade plus. Sure, that Arvell Reese guy is having a hell of a season with the New York Giants, but why can’t both guys be great? Why do we have to keep comparing and contrasting? Oh, this guy is great, and oh, this guy stinks. I saw all that noise on social media during and after the game.
Just imagine how good Bailey can be when he has a secondary that can block passes, and he has an even better running mate on the other side of him. This talented player is just scratching the surface of his true potential at the NFL level.
