Here we go again. Another New York Jets season that began with so much hope and optimism has disappeared faster than a New York minute.
And quite frankly, there is nothing about the Jets’ performance during the first half that would suggest that there are better days ahead.
We often hear that bad teams lack an “identity” or there’s something wrong with the “culture.” And to be sure, the Jets have struggled in these areas. But what the Jets desperately need—and haven’t had in a while—is a “core.” The basic idea is that teams with a solid core have a) at least three or four Pro Bowl caliber players on its roster, and b) played together at least three consecutive years.
