Jets and Giants cut down to 53 man rosters

 Cut down day has come and gone in the NFL, and teams have completed their 53 man rosters as Opening Day sits just 12 days away.  But who's counting? 

For the Jets, they will roll with only Zach Wilson behind Aaron Rodgers to open the season. They released third stringer Tim Boyle. Of course that does not mean they won't try to sign him to the 16-man practice squad, so stay tuned there. 

Gang Green will carry four running backs: Dalvin Cook, Breece Hall, Michael Carter, and Isreal Abinakanda. Bam Knight was released. 

At wide receiver, the Jets will hold onto Jason Brownlee, Xavier Gipson and Irvin Charles to join the veterans Allen Lazard, Garret Wilson, Randal Cobb, and Mecole Hardman. Tight end is also set with C.J. Uzomah, Tyler Conklin, Jeremy Ruckert and Kenny Yeboah. Rookie Zach Kuntz did not make the team.

Meanwhile up I-80 toward East Rutherford, the Giants filled out their 53 man roster. They too will carry only two quarterbacks: Daniel Jones and Tyrod Taylor. Despite an impressive preseason Tommy DeVito did not make the team as a third quarterback. 

The G-Men will feature four backs in total, with Matt Breida the first back behind starter Saquon Barkley. 

The Giants are loaded at defensive back with 11 DB's on the squad. 

Meanwhile it will be interesting to see who stands out at wide receiver this year. We know Isiah Hodgins is the number 1 reciever, and Darren Waller at tight end will essentially be the deep threat down the middle. But who will stand out and step up among the group of Jalin Hyatt, Sterling Shepherd (who needs to stay healthy), Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and Parris Campbell?

Jets, Dolphins and Patriots Playoff Breakdown

Here are the formuli that could get the Jets into and out of the playoff party this season: 1) If the Jets win against Seattle and Miami, they win the AFC East based on a better conference record (8-4) than the New England Patriots, even if New England wins out as well. 2) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins win out and finish at 11-5, the Jets would be 10-6, or 9-7, and probably out of the playoffs. Both New England and Miami would make the playoffs, with the Dolphins as a divison winner and the Patriots as a wild card. The Patriots make the postseason if Baltimore loses one of its final two games. 3) If the Patriots win out and the Dolphins and Jets split, then the Patriots win the AFC East. The Jets will have to hope that they beat Miami to win that tie-breaker and, further, hope that they have a better conference record than the Baltimore Ravens in order to clinch the sixth seed. 4) If the Patriots and Ravens win out and the Dolphins and Jets split their final two games, then ...

Francisco Lindor Remains Red Hot as Mets Top Phillies

 Francisco Lindor remains the hottest player in Queens right now.  The Mets shortstop blasted two more home runs, including a three-run blast in the bottom of the eighth inning, Monday night to help propel the Mets to a 5-4 win over Philadelphia.   Lindor who typically struggles in the month of April is putting together a heck of a month. Monday's two hit effort was the 10th game in the last 11 where Lindor has recorded a hit. In fact in the month of April alone this year, Lindor was hitting at .311 coming into Monday's action.  On the year, Lindor is batting .284 with five homers and 13 RBI.  Lindor's efforts proved to be prophetic, as the Phillies Alec Bohm crushed a three-run bomb off Edwin Diaz in the top of the ninth to cut the Mets lead to a single run. Fortunately for New York, Diaz was able to shut the door with strikeouts of Trea Turner and Bryce Harper.  New York (16-7) has now won five in a row.

Is Aaron Glenn in Danger of Getting Fired?

 According to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio there is a "chance"   that Jets head coach Aaron Glenn could be fired at seasons end.  While Florio doesn't site any sources, the rumor has caught fire the last two days. The question is would it make sense? Let's examine this for a second?  Why it Makes Sense:  Glenn has not been great in his first year as Head Coach of this team. The talent has taken a major step backwards, granted two of those talented players were traded away in Sauce Gardner to Indianapolis and Quinnen Williams to Dallas.  The decision he and GM Darren Mougey made to give Justin Fields a two year deal proved to be a horrible mistake, and Glenn stuck with Fields for far too long before pulling the plug following the Jets loss to the Patriots on a Thursday night in mid November.  Glenn gave now former Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks too much power to run the defense, and the players couldn't stand Wilks. Reports indicated this week af...
