Jets' O Will Flow

After the third straight preseason game without the offense scoring a touchdown, Jets fans are ready to pull their hair out.  It's about time everyone calms down and understands the situation.

Here's 5 reasons why there is no need for concern:

1) It's preseason.  These games are completely irrelevant.  The results do not count.  How many points this team scores in preseason will have absolutely zero effect on the season.

2) Santonio Holmes just played his first game on Sunday.  The offense has been playing with some injuries at receiver so far in preseason.  Holmes has not played as well as Jeremy Kerley.  Those are the Jets top two wide receivers.  Sunday was their first chance to get out there and get acclimated to the offense in an actual game scenario.

3) Tim Tebow is playing a role in preseason that is nowhere near what he will be actually doing in the regular season.  Tebow is not on the Jets to throw 10+ passes every game.  He is here to come in for the wildcat and help out on special teams as well.  What we have seen in preseason will not be seen come September 9th when the Jets kick off the season at MetLife Stadium against the Bills.  Mark Sanchez will be the guy under center throwing the ball.

4) Sunday was their first game without Wayne Hunter at starting right tackle.  Hunter was a big reason for the Jets struggles in the prior two games.  Austin Howard saw his first action with the starters Sunday and did quite well.  The guy was just inserted as a starter.  Howard will fill in very nicely to a Jets offensive line that will be extremely important to the Jets offensive success in 2012.

5) This team is adjusting to a new playbook.  Brian Schottenheimer and his conservative offensive playbook is no longer in town.  Tony Sparano has brought in a completely different playbook that the players are still learning.  It is "training" camp for a reason.  The team is still training to get ready for the season, which is still 13 days away for Gang Green.  These last two weeks leading to the season are vital for Mark Sanchez and Tim Tebow to get some repetition in.

So until the buzzer sounds on September 9th following the Jets-Bills matchup at the Meadowlands, let the regular season play do the talking.  Not training camp.  Not the preseason.
