Justin Fields’ career has been defined by a series of ups and downs. Chicago or Pittsburgh, there were ups and downs. During their first team trains with the New York Jets, this story has not changed. According to Sny Beat, the writer Connor Hughes, the results of the fields during OTA practices were mixed.
In skeleton 7 against 7 exercises, the fields shone.
“He looked solid in the seven portion against seven,” wrote Hughes on Twitter / X earlier this week. “There is an undeniable zip on his passes. He had two strengths (one for Garrett Wilson, another in Allen Lazard) in the deeper central part of the field between a few defenders. Very pretty.”
These exercises are adapted to the offense. No rush to the pass and its own launch routes. They serve as construction blocks to manage basic concepts and build timing and chemistry with new receivers, although Fields has an established relationship with WR Garrett Wilson. The two were Ohio State teammates.
Once the team met for complete exercises of 11 against 11, although still without pads and limited contact, Fields was not as clear.
“La Défense dismissed the fields out of six of its 10 benefits,” tweeted Hughes. “Fields completed three of the other four. Two were discharges at Jeremy Ruckert. One was a short pass to Wilson.
“The Miss was a bit alarming. The jets have blitz.
Hughes noted that the offensive line of the jets made no favor. Although the team added the choice of first round Armand Membou to play on the right, the rest of the unit returns. Like Pittsburgh, the way a young line O plays will dictate the effectiveness of the offensive. Hughes also added that the weather conditions were not ideal, but the jets will not play exactly in a sunny time at 70 degrees in September.
After a year of rehabilitation of his game and his image at Pittsburgh, New York took the chance on him this offseason. Ossuder the Steelers, Fields has signed a $ 40 million contract over two years. The jets added zero competition this summer, putting the fields downright in the driver’s seat.
The concrete assessments at the start of the 2025 season are reckless and to be clear, Hughes do not do it. It offers initial observations, as is the beaten reporters of the Steelers will do it on the new additions of Pittsburgh from next week (and US Come Training Camp). However, the game of fields will be under the microscope all season. For what the jets have won, what the Steelers have lost and who made the right decision. The first test occurs the first week when Pittsburgh and New York meet.
