Studs and Duds from Jets’ 27-6 embarrassment Monday

Studs and duds from Jets’ 27-6 embarrassment Monday

Monday night was a downright embarrassing loss for the New York Jets. The offense was a mess as quarterback Zach Wilson was sacked eight times and the team lost three fumbles in a 27-6 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The loss dropped the Jets to 4-4 and down to 11th in the playoff standings with nine games left.

While the game was a nightmare overall, there were a couple of players who stood out in a positive way, mostly on the defensive side of the football. Of course, there were those that who stood out in a negative way as well. Let’s try to sort through the rubble. Here is your Week 9 edition of Studs and Duds.

Instant analysis as Jets offense goes flat again on Monday night against Chargers

Instant analysis as Jets offense goes flat again on Monday night against Chargers

There’s no two ways about it. The Jets flopped on Monday night against the Chargers. They got away with it in Week 8 against the Giants. Justin Herbert wasn’t letting them get off the hook.

The Jets lost to the Chargers 27-6 to snap a three-game losing streak and fall to 4-4 on the season. What could have been a golden opportunity to move into a playoff position now becomes falling behind the three wild card spots and sitting in a logjam at 4-4.

Here’s some notes and thoughts from a disastrous night in New York.

Jets’ gameday roster for Week 9 vs. Chargers

Jets’ gameday roster for Week 9 vs. Chargers

With the inactives announced for the Jets for Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, New York has their gameday roster set for the bright lights. The roster is typical to what it has been throughout the season. The same stable of running backs once again as Israel Abanikanda remains a weekly inactive. Randall Cobb is a healthy scratch this week and Jason Brownlee is back to being inactive after getting a taste of action last week.

Here is your full gameday roster for Week 9 as the Jets look for their fourth straight victory.

Jets announce inactives vs. Chargers: Allen Lazard, Adrian Amos will play

Allen Lazard and Adrian Amos are in, Carl Lawson and Randall Cobb are out for Week 9

The Jets have announced their inactives for their Week 9 Monday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers. Wide receiver Allen Lazard and safety Adrian Amos, who were both listed as questionable for the game, are both active and will play.

One wide receiver who will not play is Randall Cobb. After being inactive last week due to a shoulder injury, Cobb is a healthy scratch this time around. Cobb had no game designation but will be out for a second straight week. Jason Brownlee is back on the inactive list after playing last week. The Jets called up Malik Taylor from the practice squad. He and Irvin Charles will be behind Lazard, Garrett Wilson and Xavier Gipson.

Carl Lawson is out again. What once seemed like a rotation of a defensive lineman being the odd man out has landed on Lawson more often than the others. Lawson started expressing frustration with his depleted role. This certainly won’t make him feel any better.

Rookie linebacker Zaire Barnes is active for the first time this season as Chazz Surratt is out with an ankle injury. The other inactives Monday are running back Israel Abanikanda, defensive back Jarrick Bernard-Converse and offensive lineman Dennis Kelly.

Former Jets No. 1 pick Keyshawn Johnson to appear on ManningCast

Keyshawn Johnson will be among the guests joining Peyton and Eli Monday.

The Jets will appear on Monday Night Football to wrap up Week 9 when they take on the Los Angeles Chargers. The main game broadcast will air on ESPN and ABC. The alternate ManningCast will also happen this week on ESPN2.

That broadcast will feature some old-school Jets flavor. The Jets’ No. 1 pick in 1996, current Fox Sports contributor and former ESPN analyst Keyshawn Johnson will be among the guests joining Peyton and Eli Manning this week during the game.

Johnson will be the third of three guests this week, following actor and former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Johnson spent four seasons with the Jets, playing in 62 games and catching 305 passes for 4,108 yards and 64 touchdowns. Johnson played 11 seasons in the NFL with four teams (Jets, Buccaneers, Cowboys, Panthers).

Johnson will like appear on the show sometime in the second half if you are looking to catch his time with the Mannings.

Both 2023 Monday night appearances for Jets to have ManningCast

Will you be watching the Mannings or Buck and Aikman?

The Jets will appear on ESPN’s Monday Night Football twice this season — Week 1 against the Buffalo Bills and Week 9 against the Los Angeles Chargers. We’ve known that for months now. What we just found out this week is that both of those games will also have the alternate ManningCast option for fans.

“Monday Night Football with Peyton and Eli” is returning for a third season and they unveiled their schedule for 2023 this week with a promo video that included “auditions” for a third host that included many NFL players and coaches such as Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Jets’ new best friend in Broncos head coach Sean Payton along with other well-known personalities including DJ Khaled, actress Reese Witherspoon and LSU gymnast Livvy Dunne.

Former quarterback Tom Brady also made a cameo appearance at the end in a waiting room when the Mannings couldn’t find anyone “perfect” for the job.

At the end, the schedule of games for the Mannings was revealed and both Jets’ games made the list. So now Jets fans will have the option of the Mannings or Joe Buck and Troy Aikman.

Jets vs. Chargers game recap: Everything we know

The Jets started strong against the Chargers, but things went downhill quickly.

The Jets came out gunning against the Chargers, making multiple plays behind the line of scrimmage and blocking a punt on their first defensive stand Sunday. That led to a quick touchdown and an early advantage for New York, but things went downhill from there.

Sam Ficken proceeded to miss the PAT, the first sign that things could get Jetsy rather quickly. Joe Flacco lobbed a pick-six shortly thereafter, and just like that, the lead was erased.

With Justin Herbert, confident and strong-armed, orchestrating the offense, Los Angeles never looked back and cruised to a 34-28 win, it’s third of the season. The Jets hung around late, but fell to 0-10 on the season.
