Part 3/6:
In recent discussions, analysts have highlighted the need for the Jets to innovate their offensive strategies. Unlike the successful model observed with teams like the Detroit Lions, who utilized their tight ends effectively, the Jets lagged behind, deploying tight ends in less than 20% of their plays. This narrow offensive framework has severely limited their ability to diversify their attack.
The argument for greater involvement of tight ends is compelling. Successful teams in the league—especially those that progressed to the Super Bowl—have emphasized the importance of dynamic tight ends as crucial offensive tools. The Jets must rethink their personnel and concepts if they hope to maximize the efficiency of their offense.
