Camp is starting to pick up momentum for the New York Jets. Pads finally went on. It’s time for big-boy football.
The days of 7-on-7 warriors is over. Now is time for the gladiators to put their pads on and go to work. What are the important stories in week 2 of camp for the New York Jets?
Cameron Clark Okay
First thing is first. After a scary sight at camp on Tuesday (8/3/2021), Cam Clark is expected to be okay. He was boarded, carted off the field, and sent to a local hospital. After being diagnosed with a spinal contusion, Clark’s family has stated he is okay and will be expected to fully recover. He will be staying in the hospital overnight for safety. Just a scary reminder of what these players- what all football players put themselves through and at risk of to pursue their passion.
Mims Grounded?
Look, it’s nothing personal against Denzel Mims. But the fact is simple: the second round pick is losing reps to Vyncint Smith, a man who has never amassed more than 225 receiving yards. When I put Mims on the hot seat, it wasn’t a direct hit at him. Rather a comment that he needed to stay healthy this time around. But Smith has started 4 games for the Jets in two years across 20 game appearances. I’m not sure what it is, but something isn’t adding up. Whatever it is, I hope he figures it out.
Elijah Moore was a second-round pick too. Moore and Mims are having very different camps.
Jets Pass Rush Wrecking Havoc
If Carl Lawson can do to Green Bay what he’s doing to the Jets offensive line right now, he will be the greatest free agent signing for the Jets in the past decade. It seems the veteran is stacking days upon days of effective and disruptive pass rush. I’m talking multi-sack days over and over and over. Against Mekhi Becton, of all people. Iron sharpens iron.
Bryce Huff is also catching eyes, apparently. Huff, who appeared in 14 games to garner 2 sacks and 16 tackles, is apparently being thought of as a compliment to Lawson on the edge. John Franklin-Meyers has been doing his thing too, just as fans believed.
The Jets may have assembled the best defensive line we’ve seen in recent years, and one that some might say will be even more productive than what Bosa and Company built in San Francisco.

Running Back Competition
Right now, Tevin Coleman and Michael Carter are splitting the starting running back rolls. Outside of them, Perine has showed he does have what it takes to run in this offense. After concern over his inability to fit in the scheme, Perine is running like his career depends on it. Maybe he will make the final roster after all.
Elijah Moore. That’s It.
Elijah Moore is really good at football. He’s earned the attention of Cleveland Browns star Odell Beckham Jr. who insisted Moore would be an all-pro talent as a rookie in an Instagram comment section. Of course, we don’t need OBJ’s vote of confidence. Anyone who’s been following the Jets even remotely, even by accident, have heard that this kid is legit.
Moore has finally started taking reps with the starters in camp. I’d be shocked if he wasn’t starting Week 1. It seems that before the season has even started, Joe Douglas knocked this pick out of the park.
Tight Ends Grounded from Takeoff
In a Twitter post by Jets beat reporter Connor Hughes, he stated that none of the tight ends currently on the roster have been particularly impressive. This is shocking, considering the west coast style we’re expected to see values tight ends to a great degree. This is particularly concerning, however, for Chris Herndon.
Tyler Kroft was a free agent signing and we knew he was an inline blocker more than a receiving threat. Herndon, on the other hand, has been riding the coat tails of his promising rookie season. In the past two seasons, he has combined for 294 yards in 17 games. A far cry from the explosion Gang Green was hoping to see.
