How will the return of Zach Wilson change the Jets' offense? WHo could be more or less involved? NYJets | TakeFlight
Wilson had been sidelined since suffering a non-contact injury against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 1 of the preseason. Wilson’s return should have a positive impact on the Jets’ offense. Backup quarterbackhad been starting in Wilson’s place. Flacco has been ineffective. Opposing defenses haven’t feared the Jets’ offense. Wilson adds a much-needed layer of big-play ability.
Flacco has shockingly attempted a league-high 155 passes. It signals the Jets’ lack of competitiveness and failure to stay ahead of the sticks. Wilson makes the Jets a more difficult opponent to defend against. Think less passing attempts, more efficiency, and explosive plays, both with Wilson’s arm and legs.
Offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur has been tied down by Flacco’s statue-like presence in the pocket. It’s plausible to think roughly half of the Jets’ offensive playbook has been ignored due to Flacco’s diminishing skill set. Wilson is an athletic quarterback that thrives outside of structure. He’s quite literally the anti-Flacco. LaFleur will welcome the opportunity to get creative by calling plays that get his quarterback on the move, both vertically and horizontally .
Flacco has averaged a pathetic 5.8 yards per throwing attempt. For comparative purposes, Wilson averaged 6.1 yards per attempt as a rookie last season with a less talented supporting cast, and that number largely increased as the season progressed while Wilson became more comfortable and confident. There’s no questioning who the more aggressive quarterback is.
