Clayton Smarslok breaks down the New York Jets kicker battle

Over the past several years, the special teams unit for the Jets have not been good, abysmal in fact. As poor as it’s been, on return coverage, kick/punt returning, punting, etc., there haven’t been too many issues with how the kickers have performed.

The Jets travel to the Bayou to take on the Saints Sunday as 16 point underdogs, the second largest Jets spread in the last 10 years.
