They sure looked like graduates of the Steve Slaton School of Kick Returning tonight - which is to say "run sideways then duck". Terrible. Where's J.J. Moses? That little dwarf was fearless.

Aside from Rackers, this team's whole 'Special' Teams is a disaster. I realize it was only a preseason game and can only HOPE they get better, but they've been this way for about 4yrs running now. The return game is awful and the coverage game is awful. I don't think I've think I've ever seen a team where the ST makes so many negative plays. I'm amazed that Marciano has been employed by the team this long.

3rd string or not, I believe that is the first COVERAGE sack we have seen in the last 3 years.....

[Arky]

McElroy is sacked -5. 2nd and 15 coming up.

Pass to Cumberland gets to near midfield. 3rd and 6 coming up.

Dump pass too hot to handle and goes inc. Jets have to punt.

Punt goes into the endzone. Flag down. Holding on the Texans -10. Texans ball at their 10.

[Arky]

Yates can't find anyone open and runs out of bounds for no gain.

Oggie for maybe 1. 3rd and 9 coming up.

Pass to Maehl gets about 5. Texans to punt.

Some bad tackling lets the Jets return the ball to about their 47.
