Jets' Offense Predicted To Have Distinct Running Flavor
Jets' Offense Predicted To Have Distinct Running Flavor originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The way forward for the New York Jets, at least this year under Aaron Glenn and offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, seems to be rather straightforward. Advertisement With a running quarterback in Justin Fields, coupled with Breece Hall and Braelon Allen behind a stout and perhaps underrated offensive line, the Jets will be running the ball and a lot. Well, that's the plan anyway. With Engstrand coming from the Detroit Lions, who have boasted a stellar run game the past couple of seasons, The Athletic's Jacob Robinson thinks that the Jets will try to replicate that. "It's no secret that the Jets offense plans to run the ball a lot, but we still don't know how this talented backfield will split," Robinson writes. "RB Breece Hall is ready for a three-down role, but with OC Tanner Engstrand hailing from Detroit, The Athletic's Jets beat reporter Zack Rosenblatt suspects that Hall plays the Jahmyr Gibbs role, with Braelon Allen as the David Montgomery-type. Expect their quarterback to run plenty, too."

Now, the pair are behind a good offensive line and have Engstrand and Glenn, both of whom have ideas on how the Lions ran their offense, so, there will no doubt be some familiarity there. The question is, can Fields bring it all together? We know his ability as a runner, but if there isn't the threat of him passing downfield, defenses will stack the box and stop the run. So, while the offense will be run-heavy, Fields has to show he can be a consistent passer to keep defenders from crashing down and stuffing run after run.

Jets Receive Surprisingly Good 2025 Offensive Ranking
Jets Receive Surprisingly Good 2025 Offensive Ranking originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The New York Jets' offense in 2025 has a lot of unknowns about it, with Justin Fields and Tanner Engstrand leading the group. Advertisement Predicted to have a solid run game with Breece Hall, Braelon Allen, and Isaiah Davis, the Jets are expected to lean heavily on that, with Garrett Wilson as the only true consistent weapon in the passing game. The offensive line could be sneaky good with two stud bookends in Olu Fashanu and Armand Membou, so Fields could be adequately protected, and good things will happen from there. But where does this Jets offense stack up against the rest of the NFL? For Pro Football Network, they are bullish on it, ranking it 19th. "Justin Fields brings a different dynamic to this unit, and a strong defense allows this offense to learn on the fly a bit," Pro Football Network writes. "This team doesn't need a top-10 offense to flirt with the postseason, but moving up a handful of spots will be required if they want to snap this decade-long run of disappointment." New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (7).John Jones-Imagn Images We think most Jets fans would take that right now. Advertisement Fields gets a clean runway for the starting role, and at OTAs and minicamp, he did impress at times, especially with his legs, which we know is nothing new. But the big key here is can Fields develop into a better passer? The run game might help his receivers see advantageous looks, but he has to prove he can consistently hit those passes. Aaron Glenn and Engstrand are all in on Fields, for this year at least, and who knows, maybe Justin can have a Baker Mayfield-like resurgence and push this offense past being 19th.
