Jets ready to flip rushing weakness into calling card

Jets guard John Simpson was asked last week about the prospects of the team being more run-heavy this year.

“I’m excited,” Simpson said.

Simpson then paused and leaned closer to the microphone to make sure everyone heard him: “I’m really excited,” he said before letting out a cackle.

Simpson is not alone in his excitement around the Jets about being a run-first offense in 2025. It is hard to take away many conclusions from the first week of training camp, but the Jets have looked good running the ball.
