And for a second straight week, Geno Smith showed an inability to function in the pocket. Smith can be forgiven for a lack of explosive passing plays given everything just mentioned, but a 14 year veteran needs to be able to navigate the pocket much better, find his outlets, keep the offense on schedule, and avoid taking bad sacks at a rate much better than we have seen from Geno the last two weeks.

Negative signalRole

Smith's pocket navigation and sack avoidance deteriorate for second straight week; veteran-level play needed.

Quarterback showed an inability to function in the pocket for a second consecutive week, struggling to navigate the pocket, find outlets, keep the offense on schedule, and avoid bad sacks at an unacceptable rate for a 14-year veteran. While the source acknowledges poor conditions, offensive line pass protection issues (particularly Joe Tippmann's worst game as a pro), and receiving group depth emergency (Kenyon Sadiq concussion), Smith's pocket navigation and decision-making remain a clear problem that must be addressed if the Jets want to beat higher-caliber opponents.
