NFL Buck The Trend – The Ultimate Running Back

Daniel Essien with a breakdown of the evolution of the running back position in recent years to kick off TOJ Digital’s new podcast: BUCK THE TREND

Trends in the NFL often start a whisper and eventually turn into a violent scream. So it has been with the evolution of the running back position in recent years. The amount of talent coming into the league at this position has really increased over the last few years. Let’s look at what is different about today’s modern running backs as opposed to the ones entering the league a few years ago. Also, we’ll look at a few examples of how they’re utilized schematically. Lastly, we’ll take a look at the direction of the Jets’ running back depth chart in light of all this.

Listen to further discussion on this topic and more in our new podcast: BUCK THE TREND. Check out episode 1 below and look out soon for the iTunes feed!

New York Jets – 2018 NFL Draft First Year Impacts

Joey Ferriaola breaks down potential year one impacts for the New York Jets 2018 NFL Draft class…

The 2018 NFL Draft should prove to be a fruitful one for the New York Jets despite only having six selections. General Manager Mike Maccagnan drafted his QB of the future in USC’s Sam Darnold which was enough to satisfy a fanbase starved of quality QB play in the last decade and a half. However, the team also had some intriguing selections in the middle and late rounds that can potentially have an impact in their 1st year in the NFL. I’ve broken down the selections into how I see them fitting into the roster during their rookie seasons.

Thank You New Jersey – Ten Wagers For The 2018 New York Jets

Joe Caporoso with 10 wagers to place on the 2018 New York Jets with sports gambling now legal in New Jersey…

New Jersey, always a leader in innovation and forward thinking (along with Italian food and gas pump distribution), has led the charge in the Supreme Court to legalize sports gambling. As somebody who was born in the state and is moving back later this week (HELLO, HOBOKEN), I tip my cap to our great Garden State which doesn’t get its name in any NFL team titles despite being home to two of them. (shockingly, East Rutherford is not part of Manhattan). With gambling no longer relegated to the back rooms of Bada Bing and Satriale’s, let’s look at ten somewhat serious wagers you should place on the 2018 New York Jets…
